    Trade Durant. Bring back Harden. Use the rest of the money to give Amen a new contract. Let Tari walk. Use picks to get rid of the bench and replace them. Going to tonight's game is going to be so depressing. This might be worse than being there last year for Game 7 against GS

    it's been an honor gents.

    through all the collapse and nasty work by dickerson on twitter, it was a frustrating season to say the least.

    No pun intended but there is a lack of total sweeps in the 1st Round....is that viewed as parity.

    Wouldn’t surprise me. If your remove tari from game 1 it’s probably even worse than that.

    KD will face zero pressure from the media or fans for this season because he’s in Houston

    We had some great games and I was able to attend more than any other season. May the next be even more fruitful for us...

    Will Durant be on the bench tonight? No need for 24 hour rehab. What's the excuse going to be if he's not?

    i was 0-2 for the season

    the collapse against the clippers and the worst loss of the season (point differential wise anyway) against boston.

    i wish durant's injury happened earlier in the season so the team learn/figure out how to play without him. now he's out at the worst time possible.

    When did Durant's injury move from his knee to his ankle? I must have missed seeing the ankle injury occur. Perhaps I was getting something from the fridge.

    This supposed injury happened almost 5 days ago, why was he even doing underwater treadmills (that prevented him from being on the bench) if the timeline would have precluded him from playing in the first place?

    the rockets need some proper PR folks for their spin

    lol. I don’t buy this considering he wasn’t on the sideline last game. Will he be there tonight?

    Agree with you completely. The league and officiating are a whole other topic. There is now so much money involved that the league is ripe for corruption. Those TWO jump balls where our players were held were TOO OBVIOUS to have been missed.
