Trade KD for a point guard
MacMahon broke my heart for Valentines Day, senior year. Ever since, I've made it my lifelong purpose to aggregate that Cowboy any chance I get
I think that the spurs had their playoff loss vs the Knicks mentally.
lol. Another year. Another cycle of media thinking a team is a KD or James Jaren away from a championship. 😂😂😂 they could be 60 and the media will still think they are in their prime.
Spurs exposed the Rockets weakness just like the Spurs exposed the Thunder weakness
1.5 speed 👌
There is no face of the nba anymore
Houston ain't doing sh!t
This convo sucked
If all squads can play without injuries, Spurs will win it
The KD hate must be studied.
Houston's season was cooked when FVV went down. Only true PG on the roster and you just can't do it without one. BRUTAL injury.
It's a good thing the Spurs tanked for Wembanyama, Harper and Castle.
Coop gonna be better than Wemby
Start the WeMVP agenda now!
The rockets made horrible decisions by extending udoka and trading brooks and green instead of tari and fvv. Udoka is what really puts a ceiling on the rockets
I'm glad someone like Wembyama has found a way to thrive being someone his size, it has got to a pretty big deal for him. I'm happy for him.
Harper will be better than Castle. I don't know what games everyone else are watching.
KD should come off the bench next season
Is "Listen" your "Um" or "Know what I mean"? So bossy!! 😂
Longer show. Different guests. Tastes great. Less filling!
Rockets are most effective with Amen in the dunker spot
The Rockets look poised for a 1st round exit. Stone has given up on the season. Refresh for next year with KD another year older.
I want to believe Houston has a shot at the championship, but their offense is easy to shut down. They have no good ball handler/passer players.
Thank you for giving KJ his flowers man dude has been balling! GoSpursGo!
GO SPURS GO!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fire NO STONES’ Stone
If we want to get above the high water line then we’ll need to get rid of that stone around our neck
ime udoka should be fired at all-star break. first off who is the shooting noru they have? second their offense— running pick and roll at the half court line— HALF WAY THROUGH THE SHOT CLOCK— is the most insufferable piece of trash in the league currently. the bucks are a better watch than the rockets right now
Please let your guest talk, instead of interrupting them!
Big ups to Mitch. People underestimate his long-term intentions with every move.
Pop picked him for a reason.
The Spurs have a chance of being the best this year.
The Rockets have a chance of being better next year.
