    They double KD we turnover….they double KD we finally break one….brick 3….the easiest defense is the when the other team can’t shoot….and we can’t shoot….

    He probably isn't but at least try someone else. Tate and Okogie have brought zero to the team right now, so what's the harm of trying DFS.

    Can't finish either. No vert, no touch. He's lowkey as min/maxed as (almost) all of our other young players

    You pretty much have to be mentally deficient to live in LA on purpose, it’s not an audacity thing, they just don’t know.

    That's lots of Rockets. Athleticism over brains. Works sometimes, but not against a smart team with the refs on their side.

    Yeah I agree, I'd have to try DFS over Tate at this point, Tate has not been good at all. I don't mind Tate getting a look, but he was literally the first option off the bench for the 2nd half lol.

    We need to get Durant in a PF situation so his lost step isn't so exposed.

    I wanted the Rockets to be motivated to break up their internally overvalued core this Summer but it is painful getting there

    That 8 game win streak was a mirage

    I can't believe he's playing Tate with Amen and Sengun. I honestly can't believe that.

    Rooting for our guys to overcome Udoka.
