    How you know he could've played? Have you ever played basketball with a knee contusion? If he goes out there and suck, nobody gonna care about that injury.

    All I know if Kevin Durant doesn’t play game 2,
    I don’t care what anybody says, the Rockets were setup to help the Lakers atleast win some games.

    The Rockets SHOULD win without Durant
    Ime SHOULD do a better job at coaching
    Sengun SHOULD step up to prove he’s a true leader and top center

    But none of that takes away from this weird situation of KD not playing. I don’t care what anyone says.

    Furthermore if we lose this season for ANY reason
    Ime & Stone should be fired
    Bring in Mike Malone or someone else who’s competent.
    Trade Sengun, because clearly he’s not the guy
    Amen shouldn’t get max money because he’s not the guy either
    Pray Reed can continue to be a top league shooter and improve his PG skills
    Tari & DFS should Definitely be gone

    All this tanking for super role players, while other teams drafted generational talent.

    This is an embarrassment of an organization

    What would blow my mind would be Durant doesnt play all series, and Houston gets swept.

    Why conspire when you know they'll f it up on their own?

    We play to our competition. We thought we could compete easily with Sengun Amen and Reed so we let KD rest the knee.
