The basketball gods really hates Kevin Durant for going to golden state.

He’s far from their best player, but arguably one of the main drivers of their style of play

Holy shit. That’s so unfortunate man

Offensive rebounding was our one standout skill too :(

Though Capela has been looking solid as of late at least. Even if double big doesn’t really work with him.

Welp, Ime has to lock in on the defensive end like in previous seasons. Hopefully Tari and DFS can stay healthy since we need our wing depth to step up on the perimeter. Hopefully that means we can protect Reed more and have his spacing in increased minutes.

Big loss for them. He was a big part of their identity.

Trade for Sabonis

FVV was a MASSIVE blow and this is another big one.

Clint is here

The fact that we’re still competitive in the midst of now two crucial injuries is commendable for our currently available players. Get well soon Steveo.

Oh man. They’re def gotta look in the market now no?

Clint capela back in the rotation

lost our main PG and our defensive anchor this season can fuck off

Unfortunate but really makes next year big for them since they’ll potentially get FVV and Adam’s back.

Y’all have no idea but Adams is so impactful. They will miss him a ton

Damn man that really sucks

That sucks, hope his recovery is quick

Feelsbadman

That’s massive for the Rockets and how it effects the Western Conference 

Take my ankle

Fuck me

I want to die

Broken ankle or a torn ligament?

That’s terrible news, one of the most genuinely likeable players in recent memory. Rest up big guy.

Damn that sucks. Rest up big kiwi

Rockets are done. Offensive rebounding a huge part of their offensive system, not just a complementary piece. Their offense is already awful with Steven Adams available. Without him they are doomed to failure

I mean you gotta trade him at this point, Claxton and KD have good chemistry lol

Nooo

damn that’s a big loss. down their starting PG and their backup center? that sucks

Turn on Shams notifications after the Giannis report -> Only get this sad shit 😭

Man that’s a shame cause I feel like Adams is easily 1 of the more likeable guys in the league.

That’s unfortunate. He just got back from knee surgery.

Wishing him a speedy recovery

RIP, best vibe guy in the league

Rest up Aquamane. Dude has had some bad injury luck lately feels like

Damn that sucks

Well that fucking sucks. I love Steven Adams.

Good night sweet prince

[deleted]

Wow. That completely changes their offensive strategy. Devastating

Easily one of the most likable players in history. I hope he’ll be okay.

Bad as they shoot, he was one of their most important players, especially in playoff time when the game slows down.

Get well soon. Big fella.

Ugh, one of my absolute favorite guys in the league and it was cool to see him playing meaningful basketball (even if it was next to KD). Huge bummer

Dude are you serious?

Noooooo!

Steven Adams deserves avocados and fine cheeses not ankle surgeries.

God dammit

Knew this was probably coming but it doesn’t make it any better.

Could have had a legit shot with a healthy team, now we have to hope to be better next year with Adams and FVV coming off of big injuries in their 30’s and KD being another year older. 

That sucks

Fuuuuck…

The rockets will still win 45-50 games but they aren’t contenders anymore like I thought before the season. Two big injuries and honestly not looking as good as I thought they’d be anyway

I really think a Nets-Rockets trade makes too much sense, Claxton has been excellent this season, his assists are up, he’s driving with confidence, he’s shooting near 70% from the line which is a HUGE improvement on his career averages. But if I’m Sean Marks I’m only doing it if I get the 2027 pick swap back, the Nets are so talent deficient with playmakers on offense, we need this year and next year’s lottery pick to improve, ideally.

Fs in the chat. Steven Adams rules. Hope he can come back and still be impactful.

Streets won’t forget how vital he was for Houston against the Warriors in the playoffs last year

That really sucks. He’s one of those guys you just always root for regardless of where they’re playing.

Goddamn this sucks so much

This sucks. Love Steve O

Get well soon my love

Dudes so frustrating to root against. 

DAM

NOOO

Really sad. He has had so much unlucky injury history and he was so important for them in getting so many offensive rebounds that drove how they played.

CB next

Awe no, I’m beached as

Guess he has more time for those guitars 🎸

It’s just season-ending. He’ll be ready for the playoffs.

Rockets still feel like this could be their year, they’re going to want to replace Adams for sure. This is shaping up to be a really spicy trade deadline. It feels like we have a healthy amount of buyers and sellers.

We summon the Trade God

Alohalhololololololholaa

relying on capela in the big 2026

They’ll be fine. Clint is too good to be a 3rd string center. Always wondered why they signed two good backups knowing one thing would barely get minutes. Well now we know why.

dayron sharpe for that nets swap back….who says no?

Bring in the freak

at the end of the day it’s just basketball

Trade for Giannis

call up the bulls. get vooch and ayo and give us tari

Oh no, they’ll have to start their starting-level backup that doesnt get minutes

Rockets are gonna trade for some DominAyton

Would the Rockets be interested in a slightly used Jakob Poeltl?

There is a slight chance he still plays this season :)

Damn, glad I got to see him at opening night and one other game this season. Be well Big Kiwi.

Giannis come on down.

Man, love Steven Adams but seems like his timeline’s coming to a close soon. Another season ending surgery…

Can I interest y’all in a Nurkic?

hope he recovers well.

suck seeing him injured

Well that Makes me sad

Aw man, I didn’t know his ankle was that messed up. Get well soon, big kiwi!

It helps that everyone is going after Giannis. Plenty of opportunity for the Rockets to get in as a third/fourth team and also leaves less attention on other bigs that are available. 

One of my favorite non Nugget players. Absolutely hate to see this.

fuckkkkkkk. at least they still got capela

Man this season is such an up and down.
