77-75 at the start of the 4th quarter

Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n | Rockets

143 | 10 hours ago

We only scored 9 points in an 8 minute stretch then.

Even with a rebounding advantage we can’t score. Lack 3PT volume on top of the recent shooting regression. Double big + Amen killing the spacing inside on top of it.

At this point, just stay healthy for post-ASB. Sengun getting rushed back a week early from the ankle sprain mid-losing streak and the high KD mileage is worrisome.

KiwiCantReddit | Thunder

35 | 10 hours ago

Look il be honest and admit I don’t watch many Houston games, but is it time to stagger the Sengun and Adams mins? KD at the seems to make so much more sense for your spacing

Applesauce7896 | 76ers

I haven’t watched many Rockets games this year but I can’t imagine the defense being any good with Sengun and KD at the 4 and the 5

topazswissmas | Toronto Huskies

Both severely undersized to play the 5

dankq | Rockets

24 | 10 hours ago

They try to use the double big lineup to force the a center out more on Adams while Amen/Sengun have more room to operate through mismatches but if a defense is good enough to handle that it just results in having 3-4 non shooters on the floor which gets ugly real fast.

go0sKC | Thunder

The defense was also a bit odd to me this game amen, for the most part, was on sga like glue with all the double and triple teams it just led to wide open shots. Why not just let amen do his thing bc he’s an incredible defender and live with sga making some tough shots?

Wemby is most likely out of the award picture, Chet is currently the betting favorite for DPOY for a reason.

Clutch player just seems like a consolation award for the MVP loser lol. Also Chet deserves DPOY so much.

IRanOutOf_Names | Heat

3 | 10 hours ago

Chet’s had a great season, but Wemby and Gobert have just been clearly better and significantly more important to their teams defenses. Chet obviously leads the best defense, but the Thunder defense w/o him is still a real defense, while the other 2 are necessary for their defenses to be even close to top 10.

Chet has had a monster season, but I just can’t put him 1 in dpoy when he has the best defensive team around him to make his life easier vs a team like the Wolves which relies so much on Rudy.

vindictivejazz | Thunder

11 | 9 hours ago

Wemby’s probably not gonna hit the games requirement (if he does tho he’s guaranteed to win), but yeah Gobert has been having an insanely good season.

I think Chet is definitely having a DPOY-caliber season tho, and if he wins it over Rudy it’ll be bc of the Thunder’s absolutely insane defensive rating and them playing in significantly more nationally televised games than Minnesota.

I mean we all got used to travels not being called for a while but this happened right in front of them, and it’s like the most basic and obvious call ever. I can’t justify this one.

vindictivejazz | Thunder

4 | 9 hours ago

He was just straight up looking over at SGA moving off-ball rather than at Mitchell along the midline. Easy to understand how you’d miss a call in that situation but still just a brutally obvious miss. Pretty good justification for adding a 4th referee of some kind tho

And I’m sure there are some kind of evaluations, all leagues have them. Dude might’ve cost himself some playoff games or something.

Headlesshorsman02 | Thunder

39 | 10 hours ago

Facts bro that stood out to me kd is not a facilitator and sengun has way too much ball handling duties

bigtice | Rockets

24 | 10 hours ago

They both can be, but your defense is so stifling that it forces them to do too much and inevitably put the ball in someone else’s hands that isn’t a natural creator.

Been saying this since the beginning of the year, but getting VanVleet back takes that load off of both of them and makes Durant that much more dangerous so he can get to his spots off of screens rather than having to create on his own and should make things less stressful for Sengun.

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

12 | 10 hours ago

Amen’s playmaking has been solid at times, but his inability to shoot makes it more difficult for him to succeed in that role.

Players sag off him so it’s easier to intercept his passes if he makes longer distance passes.

Another aspect of this issue is that if you run screening actions with him as the ballhandler, teams may double or aggressively hedge the other player since they aren’t worried about Amen punishing them from 3 and they have help defense inside the paint.

bigtice | Rockets

6 | 10 hours ago

Well said.

Just reinforces the need for a true point guard because Amen’s best ability is being off the ball, especially in the dunker’s spot, where defenses seemingly forget about him and then he’s at the rim. Looking forward to him improving his shot a bit more this offseason at least to a dependable level where the defense can’t sag as you alluded to.

jimboharden13

Rockets should’ve made the trade for a point guard now then, they’re wasting a valuable year of all NBA level KD. If not try and use Fred’s salary, a combo of DFS, Adams, Sheppard, Okogie and Capela could be used as a salary match to get a stop gap. But just like last season they’re too trigger shy.

bigtice | Rockets

3 | 10 hours ago

If there was someone available that would clearly make us contenders, I think we would’ve done so, but I don’t think there is an option worth such a move.

There are no guarantees from season to season, but I think we’re playing with house money right now and letting Sheppard learn on the job, then our depth will be better for it next year.

Our fanbase wants him to start every game and play 30+ minutes a night which I still find comical.

I can see the vision of having his spacing/shooting but he has basically no experience, his size disadvantage, mixed in with a coach like Udoka + his coaching staff that have extremely limited minds when it comes to offense they will never be able to utilize him to be poor mans Curry like they envisioned.

We take those for sure, man when Houston has an off night on offense though wow that shit looks UGLY, they need to make a move for an additional guard to bring the ball up instead of making sengun and amen playmake so much and god forbid KD

Feels like I’ve watched atleast 10 Rockets matches where they completely fell apart in the last quarter. Reminds me of Suns two seasons back which is funny because they both had KD but it’s not like that man is the problem in clutch situations.

Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and Amen Thompson need to go to D3 college games to re-learn how team basketball works.

Adam’s was the only guy on the rockets playing any sort of team ball.

Every season I’m reminded that positions in basketball really do exist for a reason. Rockets looks like they could use a starting point guard.

The Rockets need to make a move at the deadline, unless they’re content with not being real contenders this season. They don’t have a guard who can consistently score or create offense for others. Thompson is really good, but he just flat out cannot shoot from three. Sheppard is a great shooter, but he’s weak in other aspects of the game. Maybe they can trade for a vet PG who has a ton of playoff experience. Maybe someone like Holiday if the Blazers find themselves outside of the play-in at some point. Maybe Tre Jones, TJ McConnell, or another person I’m not thinking of.

Their spacing is just horrendous with Thompson, Sengun, and Adams. Jabari Smith is also struggling badly. Maybe Michael Porter Jr.? I have no clue what they can do, but they’re not that good.

Year is a wash. Wasted a year of KD, it is what it is. Screaming at the top of our lungs that FVV is our savior is a little very cope.

He does fill a lot of holes but there are some serious fundamental issues with how the team plays.

When did Kevin Durant stop moving away from the ball? In Oklahoma City he was constantly running off pindowns. Now he is incredibly stagnant, waiting to get the ball either in pinch post/free throw line extended or on the perimeter in a PNR/iso situation. Outside of that he doesn’t move on offense. He is obsessed with getting his, and doesn’t manipulate the defense to consistently open things up for teammates the way the very elite creators consistently do. I’m disappointed. The way Shai was happy to draw two and three defenders and kick it to the open man, get the hockey assist, was in stark contrast to KD adamantly going one-on-one against OKC’s best defenders.

KD has been standing at the 3 point line with his arm up, calling for the ball and not moving, for his entire career. That shit drove me crazy when he was on OKC.

Does Amen have hands or hoofs? Bro has negative touch.

Rockets were much, much better early on but still always played behind because they missed so, so much. It’s rare to see Durant be so completely off. 19 points on 23 shots is brutal.

Shoutout to Chet. Bro wasnt the MVP. He was the super MVP of this game. I have no idea what his impact metrics are for this game but i’m sure they won’t do him justice.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (35-7) defeat the Houston Rockets (23-15), 111-91.
