Fair.
Painful truth 😞
And they’ll beat OKC and Minnesota, get our hopes up and then lose to the Wizards by 20
It’s true. Kings have had our number since last year, but no reason to drop games to Portland
I mean is he wrong?
With Jokic down this was our golden opportunity to make a gap between the 2nd and the rest of the seeding had we not lost to 4 under .500 teams this month
If we were 26-10 we’d be 2 games ahead of the spurs right now at the second seed
It ain’t our year unfortunately
Just gotta make playoffs then we’ll only play the teams we beat lol
missing two starters, both of them play as playmakers and table setters for others.
He’s not wrong but context matters
When both of alperen sengun and tari eason play, rockets only have 1 loss on the season not including overtime or midseason tournament. Problem is it’s so rare they are playing together.
We just can’t stay healthy or consistent
i don’t think anyone disagreeing with him. i still blame coach the most, 20 asst coaches and this is all our play making options? oof
The rockets look like me, slumping through Friday at work just trying to make it to 5pm
And that can get you to Saturday but it won’t get you to an NBA Finals
Idk if the rockets are getting smoked. Almost all of these games have been close. Last night got away from the rockets in the final four minutes.
