    The Lakers seem to want it more too, allowing an offensive rebound on a FT is simply inexcusable.

    Alpi has simply been contained, and instead of being senhub has been clunkerville

    They can trap KD all they want with the shooters we have out there. Jabari is the only actual threat to hit a 3 with that lineup, Okogie isn't horrible, but not someone you'd have to watch.

    Stone has to get some shooters next year.

    Sengun is a bigger liability than Ime. Its been obvious the whole season too.

    They double Sengun at the perimeter so he can't drive to the rim and the only guy who comes to get the ball is KD. Then one of them immediately switches to KD and he gets doubled as well. There are always two guys on them each. Ime has to find an answer.

    Rox are the joke of these playoffs so far. Sengun and Amen have shriveled under the showtime lights

    i really hate every rockets fan who thinks the rockets should win games when they have seen this team lose games to the worst teams in the league consecutively. what makes them so confident? all that cake walk talk pisses me off. the jinx is in.

    KD was right he plays with a bunch of bums.

    Cant wait until Alpi is traded this offseason.

    Sengun may be the worse franchise player of all time....
