    The defense is playing like s**t today, but it doesn't really matter.

    This team is incapable of putting the ball in the basket, just an absolute joke of an "offense"

    This has got to be the worst shooting team in the history of the NBA

    Who is Reed guarding? He doesn’t know. That was a quick time out. Again, not ready for playoff basketball.

    At least you can remember where we came from 6 years from now when the new rebuild is finally somewhat working...

    This team shouldn’t be in the playoffs. Waste of a spot, any other team in the league is more deserving

    Losing to Luka and Lebron is one thing, losing to Kennard and Smart is a whole other thing.

    Reed would get targeted at LA Fitness

    he’s an easy meal for anyone who can dribble

    I underappreciated Brad Mills and Kevin McHale when I was younger.

    Houston sports are dead to me.

    Sucks just watching man. I find it unbelievable that Udoka thinks running Capela/Okogie together in any line up is good basketball. Like come on man, we are struggling with spacing and KD is being double teamed every time. Be creative and run a ****ing small line up.

    Come on Reed...hit your shots....

    Imagine having half a season (when it first happened) to work on a way to counter a team trapping Durant, and you just don't do anything different. Capela was in the middle to receive the pass when KD was trapped,, he's the worst passer in the lineup, why would you have him right there?

    0 cuts, 0 motion, and for those that are going to scream the players aren't hitting shots, yes I agree with that too, but they aren't getting the best of looks right now. How we can't find a way to score 4 on 3 is baffling.
