    there arent going to be many non KD lineups with a good rating. Maybe a fluky one with llike 30 minutes shared on court

    Why is Ime and the coaches having KD going hard in practice? KD and Sengun should've been doing light practices at most.

    KD sitting is still more productive than Jalen on the court.

    As if any one needs any further evidence of that.

    Honestly, why?

    Patty Fertitta is already the one making the moves in the front office. Firing Stone does nothing to change the incompetence of the front office.

    I still can't believe people think Stone is making decisions.

    What the actual fork.

    Let’s play him 40 mins a game for 78 games so he can take the playoffs off.

    KD being out is a big blow - happens to guys approaching 40.

    Still, Rockets should win this game.

    Perfect chance for Amen to make this his team.

    Just limit turnovers- win the boards and pay hard.

    LeBron is LeBron but he is old as hell. Wear him down. Keep composure.

    Rockets NEED to win this series. This is year 6 of the rebuild, should be winning a series by now.

    They are going to double Sengun. Reed has to start.
