    He was arguably the most talented member of the young core.

    Just wasnt focused enough to capitalize on his talents. Fell to trappings of NBA life complete with 40 yr old cougar gold digger.

    the coaching staff need to tell the inbounder to stop selling out for KD only.

    there are other players on the court.

    besides, KD is like a WR that doesn't get separation. difficult to pass him the ball.

    Yeah we can pass to other players. The problem is its so transparent what we are gonna do cuz everybody knows KD has to carry this team night in and night out.

    Yeah, I never thought 2-0 was possible, so I'll gladly take the split, especially with the win coming in Detroit on a B2B with the team so shorthanded.

    But will Ime actually learn anything from this game and start trusting Reed or is he gonna revert to the same dumb, stubborn coach who sticks with a supposedly defensive-minded unit that can't actually get any stops?

    Guys, this is one gutsiest wins by the Rockets. Back to back on the road against a top team and Scott Foster. Proud of the boys!

    It’s a symptom of not having a PG. You’re absolutely right though. It will bite us in the ass in the post season.
