    Reed has been terrible too.

    He's mentally destroyed and has no confidence anymore.

    Literally only KD/Tari/Jabari haven't fully shrunk in these first two games. Absolutely insane.

    The Rockets have no present and no future.

    No one is getting fired that the funny part, Owner needs to step in this off season, we need to fire Ime because there are some good coaches that will be free right now.

    Whatever the coach version of being tied up and spit roast is, that's what's happening right now to us.

    Most NBA players can hit all the shots if nobody guards them

    My initial prediction was lakers in 6, but I think they may be able to get this done in 5.

    All they are doing is doubling KD as soon as he gets the ball. It's easy

    If I were the coach, I would be making adjustments until something works.

    I think we might get swept guys. Kennard is CHEAPER THAN DFS.

    At this point just play DFS, you got nothing to lose rather than Tate or Okogie
