    Benny Hill loves Rockets ballhandling. Blooper reel.

    If we actually get shots, maybe a WIN.

    KD is such a good offensive player that he doesn’t even know how to handle a double team 25 years into his career.

    Dude whacked off on the side lines and almost coached himself out of a conference win. Did you even watch the series?

    Maybe he should care about not turning the ball over

    Only 6 players scored lol. And I think Durant has 1 pt in the second half. 24% from 3 for 6 made 3s. Just crazy numbers.

    To be fair, there should have been some kind of help there. Amen can't drive with out 2-3 Lakers under the basket. When they drive, there's just no help from our guys, no rotation, nothing.

    The fact that Udoka still hasn't solved running doubles teams at Durant.

    What a clownshow, the only reason this is even close is because the Lakers are playing a bunch of scrubs next to LeBron.

    Lebron is an all around player. KD is an elite scorer. That's the difference

    This is the most glaring thing about the Rockets. Just dumb. Also, can't pass. Most passes are off. Too high or too low. Nowhere near shooting pockets. Makes open shots tough to make.

    At least they're playing hard despite tough calls.

    If we go down 0-2 it may be the first time I don't care to follow-up.

    He hasn’t even been terrible - he’s making great passes to teammates who are bricking 3s. 3 assists, but he could probably have 6-7. He’s 0-4 but has barely gotten any run. That’s got to be difficult for Reed - no rhythm.

    I guess it’s good we won’t have to watch this team get slaughtered 4 games in a row by OKC….that would be really ugly….Adam silver lining?

    Defenders respect Reed. The Rockets had a nice run in the 2nd when Reed was in the game. I know he has sucked offensively but like you said, he could catch fire. Lakers are barely up considering how god awful this team is.

    He has scored for the other teams with his turnovers
