    **** sake, how do these PG's not know that you just do a floater instead of a failed layup attempt if you're a midget and driving against giants? I knew that age ****ing 12, morons!

    No amount of great defense can make up for having more TURNOVERS than actual made baskets

    This offense is just that terrible

    Don't get me wrong but KD is immensely good as a player but he cannot carry a team on his own without another threat around him. See OKC, GSW, BKN and PHX: all those have another legit star or two with him while HOU does not (yes I don't consider a legit star yet and Amen too)

    On the offensive end sure.

    But offense isn't everything. hell, he even struggle to get open and he's 7 feet tall.

    Yeah, Tari just thinks and moves too slow to be out there. Caruso sort of makes him look silly.

    It’s so easy to defend the rockets. Literally just double KD and that’s it. Nobody else on this team is a threat. Absolutely pathetic

    KD, like the rest of the world that doesn't really watch the Rockets, thought Sengun was a budding superstar, Amen was a future all-star, and Jabari/Reed were super role players. He's only now realizing how mediocre they all are.

    People have watched KD go from team to team turning them into....this.....and it's always "why is the team failing KD?".

    KD is a disaster along with everything else.

    How is it not coaching? We lost to Boston who had 2nd stringers out there and we're getting smacked around by OKC missing several players.

    How is this not coaching?

    When is the last time you saw this team score on a back cut? Real question here?

    Sengun and KD can score, they have gravity, we don't do ANYTHING with it. We misuse most of our players lol.

    We have KD initiating offense, KD SUCKS as a passer and playmaker.
    We have Sengun getting the ball at the top of the key when he's a fantastic top 5 low post player...
    We have Amen playing PG when he's a great slasher/cutter

    Then we have lineups like we saw early 2nd quarter where its just KD and NO other playmaker. These lineups ALWAYS fail. Over and over and over again and we go to them multiple times per game.

    You should see Boston's offensive stats during Ime and POST Ime. They are a world of difference. The team did everything better on offense post Ime. Just the facts. It's not a coincidence.

    Only a nutjob would cheer for a team like ours at this point. When we do get to OKC's level then you'll be disgusted with how much Doris Burke would glaze us every single chance she gets

    Can’t beat OKC without SGA just like Boston. So tired of this lack of killer instinct team.

    Also another thing, KD doesn't take enough shots
