    KD doesn’t play defense in general

    Lebron would have flopped to sell his concussion

    He's done it already about 4 or 5 times so far this season, immediately following Reed showing out.

    Why would Ime leave Durant in for that last defensive possesion. Should’ve took him and Sengun out

    I was against it to start season, bum I’m all in for moving CJ Sengun for a needle mover trade.

    Sheppard at his best is playing within the flow of the game taking what comes to him. At his worst is when he tries to do too much forcing shots or making difficult shots in the paint over multiple or bigger defenders.

    WTH is flagrant 3? Do they get multiple game suspension for hurting LeBarbies feeling?

    I don't understand why Stone doesn't have a young Big with energy somewhere in the Houston system. As long as he has a Motor, the raw part can be worked on. There just isn't any upside with Adams and Capela.

    He hasn’t been playing well. Poor FT shooting means lack of focus. Playing like he did in 2022 today

    he's been doing this as of late where he would launch it as soon as he comes in. if they drop, great. if they don't, it's whatever.

    he knows he won't play 30 mins anyway unless he's nba jam hot.

    Sengun looks lost. His defense at best was mediocre. Now it's straight dog ****. Not rotating fast enough, getting over powered. Lack of awareness.

    His defense is like Jabari’s 3 point shooting. Some game sits the and others it’s not.

    I think he’s spent after EuroBasket. Didn’t really get a break in the offseason and became a social media documentary guy. No wonder he’s not finishing around the basket.

    Sengun's unorthodox ass shots rom inside the paint aren't falling.. They were always awful angled attempts but I thought with added strength , he'd shoot a higher percentage.. But he'd rather flop and attempt to bait the refs..
