Compare this years roster to last year.

Three starters from last year havent played a second for the Rockets: FVV, Jalen and Brooks.

Adams missed 50 games. And DFS who replaced Cam Whitmore has basically been a zero.

So KD basically took the place of 5 players. And Houston will probably win 1 more game than last year. That is how valuable KD is.

Granted the core has gotten better this year compared to last year (Sengun, Tari, Bari, Reed, Amen) but the West also has gotten much better than last year. Compare this years Spurs to last year. If the Spurs didn’t make a massive jump this year than Houston would be 1 game behind the 2 seed. And we can’t say KD didn’t help the core be better by his gravity.

KD ain’t perfect. He is turnover prone when he has to create too much and we do have some dubious social media behavior. But the guy is going to play 78 regular season games this year and since his ball handling responsibilities gave lessoned the guy is averaging 26/6/6 on 52% FG, 45% 3FG and 1.4 stocks a game.

Them Boys was hitting everything contested. They just have our number this season.

Everyone played well and this loss is still good for Seeding, we might not have home advantage but we waxing the Lakers 1st round.

Shout out to Amen Thompson 41 pts tho.

I love to see it, no one can stay infront of him, and can jump with him.

We need this Aggressive Amen again in the playoffs just like he was last season.

Ime and Stone slander. Deep stats tearing players to pieces. Trade demands. Playoff doomers.

These are the bi-polar, knee jerk, rants I come here for!

Never change. Tbh, it was hard going during that win streak.

How do you feel we match up against them?

This is one of those games that was really good for the development of the young guys imo. And Amen showed tf out!!! 17-22. That boy was on DEMON TIME!!! Close it out strong and lets handle business in the playoffs.

Flip DFS and Tate for shooting

Let Tari walk

Cut Tate out of

Okogie is decent but shooting inconsistent.

Next season

FVV/Amen/Sengun/KD/Bari/Adams/Reed

Then get/draft some shooters.

Found one interesting metric, although rockets only ranked 5th in the Western Conference, but they are doing very well beating Eastern Conference teams. Does anyone know why?

1. Spur 26/30
2. Rockets 23/30
3. Thunder 23/30
4. Piston 21/30
5. Lakers 20/30

Interestingly, the best team across all seasons is not the 73-9 Warriors, it’s the Thunder last year.

1. Thunder (24-25) 29/30
2. Celtics (72-73) 34/37
3. Mavericks (06-07) 27/30
4. Warriors (15-16) 27/30
5. Lakers (99-00) 27/30

Notice teams in Texas appear more, is it because cross-conference travel is less distant?

Legit nickname

Highlander pretty good show

if Lakers lose tonight, we win both our games, and Denver loses both (very possible they are against SAS and OKC) we will be locked for the 3rd seed!

I was listening to espn and someone said that okc will get free pass to finals this year if they face rockets in second round. Are we that bad? The team is playing amazing albeit they are playing weaker teams but still do they look like walkover for okc?
