    durant is annoyed with sengun there after receiving the ball from sengun

    and rightfully so. sengun brought the 2nd defender right into KD.

    Just f'ck off Udoka.

    Play after play after play Sengun has to play behind the arc.

    This is literally common sense.

    Great in post = play in post.

    Garbage shooter = don't play him 99% of the game behind the arc.

    It's not a coincidence the most beautiful plays the past few games have been the handful of times Alpi is in the post and he makes a nice pass to a cutter for the easiest Rocket basket/attempt of the game.

    Yet here is an NBA coach who has no idea what he's doing.

    rockets need to choose between jabari and sengun because neither of them can play center.

    sengun is not a center.

    Kevin Durant is the only elite player on this roster.

    Katie must be regretting the trade as much as Rockets fans regret it.

    “I like the young talent and how hard they played”
    Reality: 40 minutes a game, the only offensive option

    You sure?

    Or you think it's because the coach tells him to defend someone else?

    Hint: it's the thing which has happened repeatedly this season. The C defending smaller players on the perimeter.

    Yeah nah, pretty sure he wasn't expecting the coach to be this incompetent.

    "the only offensive option"

    Good lord.
