    Tari and KD fighting over the rebound leads to a Booker 3

    For the umpteenth time, KD's gotta stop dribbling down to 5 seconds 30 feet away from the basket before he decides to make a move or pass the ball.

    He has repeatedly killed the Rockets in crunch time doing this.

    Durant going 1v5 from the three point line is not a ****ing offense.

    That lineup with 4 minutes left was malpractice.

    We literally benched the players that helped us get that lead...and randomly put in players that haven't been playing well.

    Why the hell is Holiday in there? We ain’t got no damn offense except watching KD dribbling to a TO.

    Reed +8, Amen -9. Both lead the team. Guess who gets to close?

    I defended him a long time, I loved how intense we were on defense, the team had so much energy last season. I hoped for him playing more guys, better rotations, and prayed Rockets would hire an offensive assistant coach.

    This year... yeah, his stubbornness is really frustrating, and we haven't found any fluidity on offense, injuries or not.

    Opponents don’t respect Aaron or Tari’s three, they’re sagging off on them unlike Reed. Amen and KD have no room

    I think Kevin needs to start his play or iso early tbh. Too many times he does it so late something bad always happens

    At least Bari is back in, not sure why Reed is out, just stupidity.
