Bronny going 16 - 0 in his first playoff run.

Who has a 100% playoff win rate? 

Yeah cum!

“Bronny…I mean Daryl”

Dawg, I’m high rn

Fourth quarter for me!

The secret is to cope that Jalen’s injury gives us a chance, and then just be happy that we don’t get swept when we lose. If we get swept, blame injuries.

Yeah man, better spark up to lessen the stress of anticipating that matchup.

Idc I just wanna see Luka and AR play basketball again 

They’ve already done better this season than I (or really anyone) predicted they would only a month or two ago. If they can beat the Rockets sans their two best scorers, that’s enough of a consolation prize for me this year lol

If they miraculously lock in and win, they have the chance to take it all. If they lose, they got booty blasted by the best team.

Shhhh we don’t talk about that now

I mean Jdub may be out all things are possible

Nah winning is always good. Only way to win is to win. If we win this round and get swept than we won more than someone else

They can bleed.

The refs won’t allow it though. Godspeed.

I wish weed worked like that for me. If i get high before a game I just starting thinking that basketball is dumb

IDK. my thinking is that they dont want to go all in for giannis so a cheaper probably play is KD and they dont have to trade ware etc

I have a hard time believing that KD entering his age-38 season is the whale that Riley has been talking about

It’s about maximizing Bam, dude scored 83 and you hand him an elite floor spacer like KD, he’s gonna be unstoppable.

Idc. I’m just ready to get out of the KD business. We sold out our defense for offense and ended up with neither. We should be killing the lakers in the paint on both ends and we aren’t. They can take Ime too.

KD is no one’s missing piece. You guys were better last year.

At the very least he should hit Riley’s body fat requirements.

One of Herro/Powell + a pick or two

How many times can you reheat old leftovers?

Rebuild with a 37 year old?

You guys need another rebuild. None of your guys will be number 1 options on a contender

Too many fans forget the Rockets were the second seed in the west last year.

Tbf they are missing FVV and Adams who was killing GS on the glass but the current teams looks very disjointed

Yall just forget that Houston hasn’t had their entire roster all year? Lol

Genuinely the pieces they gave up to the suns were so essential and part of what made them competitive against the warriors especially with the roster around them. I get shipping them off for KD since he’s an all time great and still putting up numbers but it completely changed up the team in both the way the roster played off each other and obviously there is just not good locker room vibes. That trade really sealed rockets’ fate

Wonder, what his next team is going to be

Ime is melanated Thibs

Oh I’m not blaming him Im saying this is a roster construction issue

I don’t trust Imes thought process after he cheated on Nia long

Tbf. Lebron was coasting like he always does during the reg season.

KD mins were insane even for his age

Bron missed 22 games this year and had Luka on his team

KD played 78 games and the 2nd most minutes in the league, and just played 41 with a knee injury

To be fair, the rockets are currently being beaten by a team led by a very old past his prime star in LeBron so…not always a bad thing but they certainly shouldn’t be as reliant on KD as they are.

Seriously, you can’t expect KD to carry you to the finals. He can’t even carry you out the first round.

Steph can’t even carry you out the play in. Lol

Yes they are good, but they cannot be the #1 one option anymore.

The Rockets were the second seed last year. They expected KD to be their 2nd-3rd best player which is fair but their younger stars just aren’t carrying their own weight.

It’s fair to blame KD’s fault for not being a leader but the Rockets didn’t really plan on him being one

KD would still be playing like he did in regular season if he had some shooters on his team. Even Sengun can’t make a shot! Wide open….all of them!

They already did that by not making any trades during the season

I definitely think that is what they are trying to do, but it’s not going to work. The Lakers are way more short handed and they have played incredibly well. I’m sure they will try the excuses, but no one is going to let them off the hook.

Reed , tari and sengun are selling this series 

Not really a good excuse. Lakers are missing their two leading scorers…

Eh I think If KD gets a long term injury next year is cooked. cant even trade/salary dump him for a return

That’s what this look like. Kd doesn’t want to get embarrassed. I thought he was a hooper at heart.

Why tf would we do that only down 0-2 when we haven’t played a game at home yet

Like don’t get me wrong we’re probably losing the series but you guys genuinely think NBA front offices act like insecure redditors in the middle of playoff series?? Even if they were going to do that then why would they invent a new ankle injury instead of pointing to the actual, documented knee injury he already missed game 1 with and saying “oh he just aggravated it”? 

Yall just be saying anything 

Even if KD plays say ⁴⁄₆ games and they lose… its an embarrassing series loss (not expecting Reaves barring this series going long and even then its not likely)

Eh, it’s a tough situation. Brooks and green had more long term potential.

KD, FVV, and Steven Adams are older and more injury prone. It’s a short window and none for your guys are good trade pieces.

Brooks and Green could arguably have gotten you Giannis this year or this off-season.

Suns have a higher long term ceiling than this rockets team imo. Your team needs to make some noise in the next 2 years or the rebuild is on its way.
