It was tolerable when we had the 26ppg efficient guy for 78 games. Then you had most of our sub talking crazy that we never needed KD and we got this as karma

I’m literally begging thru texts to Rafael Stone

Am I sicko for wanting to see how much Sabonis + Sengun led defense would give up?

Yep. See you in 4 games bro.

Lakers fans will spontaneously combust if that happens, especially with the Nuggets already getting eliminated.

PG if you’re as big of a Kobe fan as you say you were lmao

Tbh if we continue this “funniest outcome” reality, it would be the Sixers once again losing in the second round.

Nah, we can still gloat. Giving up 3-1 lead to 76ers after trashing them for wanting Boston? Even the idea makes me feel some type of way.

VEIN

Sengun and Amen for Wemby say yes right now

Reed Sheppard is hot garbage

Huh ? Houston should trade KD in that scenario no? Or am I trippin lol

I hope that’s what happens, because I think the correct solution for Houston is the exact opposite. In the immortal words of the great confused one “these cats can’t win with KD.”

rofl

Yeah i swapped the the cavs/raps game after halftime because i thought the pistons were done for.

I did not expect them to put up a 20pt HALF lmao

You’re a poet

Please God, let KD retire as a rocket

this toxic shitshow is so much entertainment

I promise you the Lakers defense is not the reason lmao

Lakers were good defensively tonight, but Rockets couldn’t break through cos their offense is dogshit and has been so all along. Very poorly constructed roster for the long term.

Obviously the elimination game, what kind of question is that lmfao

KD is so good but this is his legacy and it’s hilarious. Dude is arguably a top 10 all time player but we will remember him for his Twitter alts and how he’s a bus rider not a bus driver.

Nobody ever said he was wrong, just that it was toxic af lol

LeBron loves wine, Rockets are not fine, Durant got no time. Lakers in 6 bb.

EASY MATCHUP EITHER WAY

More like choosing spurs over thunders

The longer they extend the more they can rest Luka.

Just pulled up the draft and 2024 class was slim pickings. No one really who could lead a franchise.

Just looked up, literally who is that? What is this 2024 draft class? Did I have my mind wiped or something

That commercial got me to try wingstop and I dont regret it

He definitely does

I can see it happening if a 1 or 2 seed loses someone to a minor injury for a couple games, but then they come back by Game 4. The Celtics nearly did it to the Heat in 2023.

If only KD was playing, he would’ve solve their issues - not.

Got it backwards there buddy

Having LeBron and a better coach really helps.

Also mentality.

Lakers know that they’re gonna get fried in next round, and with the amount of flagrant fouls rockets has been throwing lately, they just decided to pull a “fck you in particular” towards the rockets. Like, I’m a newbie watcher but even I can tell when someone is in a angry lock-in mode (Lebron and some Lakers are in that zone for the entire game).

On the other hand, the rockets moral is in a jumbled mess. Their coach can’t say good shit, their ace player is a snake, and their second ace is a one-trick phony. Like, what do the role players even do in this situation?

It was infuriating that he was just doing this action in games 4 and 5 and scoring off of it, we didn’t adjust at all.

Well to be fair Jokic just got a little closer yesterday

Sabonis is capable of being an offensive hub. He is literally better than Sengun in every category

Sabonis is extremely efficient with the ball. Sengun is closer to Maxime Raynaud than he is to Sabonis.

They’re both whiny babies but at least Luka has the decency to make his free throws.

We saw it last year too. He looked great against a team with nobody above 6’6 and they still lost. And even then it was only when Draymond wasn’t guarding him

Dickerson played 78 regular season games and logged a ton of minutes as a 37 year old.

The issue is that, despite all the trash talking, he’s right. The Rockets’ young core sucks. Sengun can’t shoot, can’t defend. Everyone else on that team are 1-way players or have horrible BBIQ and make terrible mistakes. That’s why Dickerson had to play so many minutes. They wouldn’t have won 40 games if it weren’t for him.

Not even a KD fan. I just hate the Rockets because they suck so much that they allowed my Kings to get 2 wins when we desperately needed the losses. How did we win? Because nobody on their team can create their own shot outside of KD and it’s not that difficult to game plan against KD and cause turnovers. Their coach also doesn’t have an offensive system around other than pass the ball to KD/Sengun and watch the bricks happen.

im actually talking about durant, sengun absolutely is not a superstar

Suffocating defense obviously… but no he’s right.
