    Oh it's quite obvious you have no idea how a basketball team works.

    It's ok, no need to be that emotional.

    He made the team better but when you lose another important piece we aren’t comparing apples to apples how do you not get that…even if we made no trade we’d be struggling without Fred. What 11 games did we win last year and this year without Fred.?

    It is the worse player's responsibility to fit with the better players. KD fits with Amen and Sengun. JSJ does a lot of the same things KD does defensively such that JSJ or KD have to be on the perimeter more. JSJ lacks playmaking. Okogie is a low volume shooter and lacks playmaking.

    I expect Reed will play better, but he's got to be looked at as the biggest problem the 1st 2 games. Even with all the other problems, the Rockets have been pretty good when Reed wasn't on the court. Whine all you want, but Reed would be on the court less if FVV was healthy until Reed earned PT.

    Just wanna remind everyone Kevin Durant is on our team.

    Meanwhile, Jalen is out again tonight and will have missed all 6 of their games.
    DB will miss his 3rd straight.
    Maluch is their 12th man.

    Be happy!

    Washington owns this year's pick - The Rockets own the next one (2027).

    As long as KD stays healthy, we're gonna be a contender.

    Crazy times for anyone who thought replacing Jalen Green with one of the best scorers to ever play basketball was anything other than an amazing idea.


    Meanwhile… Jalen Green is getting tattoos of his 40 year old girlfriend on his back:

    HIs private life doesn't matter as long as he can produce on the court. Ime isn't a very good decision maker in life either.

    We gave Jalen Green 4 years to produce but all he produced was black nails and a black ghost on the court and disappeared in games where we needed him the most. So happy he is gone. But wish him the best in Phoenix, but he won’t last in the NBA.

    That lineup is 0-2 when starting, once we balanced it by starting Okogie 3-0 and leading the league in scoring.
