    We should be concerned about any team not coached by Ime.

    This. I am more worried about how the Rockets will play and how Udoka will coach. The Rockets have shown that they are capable of beating any team, but also capable of losing to any other teams even the bottom-tier ones. Luka or not, we will see how the team handles the pressure, especially from the officials. We know how that team is officiated. We also saw a glimpse of how Sengun was officiated by the zebras in the Phoenix game.

    Shouldn’t be worried about any team. (Player speaking). Respect your opponent regardless of who you play, and the talent will do the rest.l, and we do have more talent, a lot more with the injuries.

    This is all true

    KD makes us somewhat marketable for national appeal. We may get some calls because the Lakers are incredibly injury prone at the moment.

    I'm not worried about the Lakers but I am worried the Rockets.

    We have shown up to so many games completely complacent against teams with players hurt expecting to win this season, so doing the same in the playoffs wouldn't surprise me at all.

    I'm worried the Rockets will beat the Lakers and then "run it back" with the same flawed, badly constructed team that's light years behind better younger Thunder and Spurs and play 82 more games of largely unfun to watch basketball

    You got Playoff Thompson and Playoff Chet unlocked this postseason, gonna be fun.

    The Vitriol Thunder fans harbor for Dickerson is unmatched and should make it interesting and fuel KD as well.

    Last 10:
    Lakers: 6-4
    Rockets: 8-2
    Minny: 4-6

    Denver would rather have the Rockets or Lakers over Minnesota?

    every rockets fan should be worried about any playoff matchup. The rocket history since the championship years has been dreadful. Im worried because the rockets luck is awful. rockets can win but expect prime 2008 Lebron James. Progeny Bronny is going to start playing like Donavan Mitchell against us. watch.

    It’s going to happen either way. Stone has locked it in with coach. There will be little chance of change. It looks like we will ride out most if not all of the veteran’s contracts.

    man this. for some reason in the playoffs coaches think you can only play 7 players.

    rockets lost one of those laker games because Ime just didnt want to play Clint anymore.

    it really doesnt matter who the rockets have. some f*ck sh*t will go down in the playoffs to make the rockets road harder. ALWAYS happens. i just hope the rockets have enough to advance.
