1. Wow

2. Wtf???

3. That’s fucking brutal. Have to imagine they may look to trade for a PG now.

4. Ok so the rockets have lost almost all odds of winning a championship now

   We will be seeing kd run the 2 again though

5. Off season injuries suck

6. well thats fucking deflating

7. #**FUCK**

8. Amen might be the starting PG this season omg

9. i cant have shit in this life

10. holy shit thats a huge loss for them. Who’s their point guard now??

11. Kevin Durant is the Point Guard Now

12. holy shitttt that’s actually awful

    time to trade for Harden

13. Season ending injury to a position that was already weak for them. Thats horrible

14. This is not the way Reed Sheppard truthers wanted him to get playing time

15. Shit, now what? Sign Westbrook?

16. WHYYY??? 🙁 BEFORE THE SEASON

17. Brutal for FVV

    Houston has the depth to be ok but probably hurts the ceiling

18. They’re going to have to trade for a PG right? Jrue?

19. Brutal 🙁

    First time in his career he’s ever missed a truly extended amount of time

20. Houston sports fans are going through it

21. Kevin Durant demanding a trade before the season starts

22. KD is fucking cursed man that’s the only other shooter on the team

23. Russell Westbrook YOU are a Rocket again

24. Rockets better trade for some shooting or they will be cooked

25. lol Houston fucking sports

26. Can Adam Silver just ban ACL and Achilles tears?

27. Reed Sheppard’s time to shine

28. Astros ❌

    Texans ❌

    Rockets ❌

    Fuck this

29. Westbrook: “ahh, that’s pretty interesting”

30. Basically no main ball handler on that team now

31. Man so what has it been already this offseason? Tyler Herro foot surgery, JJJ/Garland turf toe, Max Strus Jones fracture, am I missing anyone else? Plus the three (!!) Achilles’ tear during the playoffs. And now this.

32. Dudes getting hurt during the off-season sucks so much. Hopefully he comes back good next year

33. Point Sengun season is in full effect. This is how he starts his Jokic arc

34. He’s really their only PG you’d give playoff minutes to, that’s rough. I’d roll with Point Amen before I started Reed

35. Westbrook Rockets return?

36. Random shotgun to the chest on a monday evening for rockets fans. At least they’ve got Reed… well Udoka doesn’t seem to like him. Russ back?

37. Man, this is brutal for Houston.

    The one position where the depth is pretty shaky to the one guy who effectively organizes their offense. While FVV isn’t one of their 3 best players, he was easily one of their 3 most important players. The Rockets were 41-19 when he played last year and 11-11 when he was out.

    And while the team is young, FVV is likely now on the downslope and KD only has so many good years left. Their next step might have been sidetracked before they even got started.

38. Brutal.

    Wise of him to negotiate that extension. You just never know.

39. Ain’t it nice when the season ends before it even starts

40. How did this happen

41. Fred haters gonna be real quiet now realizing he is an awesome point guard and the Rockets are a bit fucked without him

42. Russ & KD reunion

    This is the way

43. Everyone pointing out how this affects Houston but damn I hate that for my boy FVV. Not like he had a ton of athleticism to spare. Here’s to a full recovery!

44. Westbrook entrance music
