    I actually don't mind no KD, see how we do without him. A starting line-up of Reed, Amen, Tari, Jabari & Sengun.

    We're getting Mike Breen so hopefully not a lot of bangs.

    I'm actually excited to see the all Rockets homegrown young core beating down the King.

    Too late for this year’s Rockets as damage done as Stone/Ime ruined what was a very promising future by giving Jalen and Whitmore away ((i.e., offensive talent) for a soon to be 38 year old who they are killing by playing 38 minutes a game and who’ll be out of the league in a few years. You can’t teach stupidity. Would rather have Green, Whitmore, and the top 3 pick in this year’s draft that Stone inexplicably gave away, but instead we’ll be taking on the OKCs, Spurs, T-Wolves,Nuggets of the future with 33 year old Fred and 38 year old Durant. That’ll win us a bunch of championships!!!

    Don't worry. Capela will not let Ayton go off.

    Rox should still win minus KD if Luka and Reeves DNP. Once one of them returns, L's will follow.
