The reaction to the KD trade continues to hinge on the misdiagnosis of Jalen Green the basketball player. If you believe he’s this uber talented basketball player the Rockets prematurely quit on, then yeah the Rockets messed up here. The reality is Jalen Green had 4 seasons and a playoff series to show us any reason why we should build with him in mind, and we got nothing but spontaneous flashes, not a franchise altering talent. Perhaps he figures it out in PHX, but let’s acknowledge we are going on year 6 asking for him to post just ONE season of league average efficiency. Literally EVERY other player of his archetype who went onto become a star in this league had already broken out by year 3.

@BeZo Not if our king can help that matchup never even happen. He took out my team already without his 2 best players

Assuming no injuries, the Thunder vs Spurs will be the real finals

The BiasedHouston rooting interest come playoff time: Are the Houston Rockets in the playoffs? - If yes, root for the Rockets over everything - If no, root for whatever team LeBron and Harden are on We Lakers/Cavs fans the rest of the way 🤝🏽

@KoreaPistonsFan Must be a good feeling bro! Also must have been devastating seeing them go down 3-1 vs an 8th seed but then rewarding againlol These last few years I’ve watched every Rockets game thinking this will be the year they go far again and they fall out in the first round the last 2.😭

18 years man. 18 years. Detroit Pistons I love you with alll my heart

Embiid got injured like 5 different times in this game and he’s still diving after loose balls dawg you can’t ever question how much this means to him

- zero fatal crashes - very cheap flights - strong safety record - modern planes - consistent deals - easy booking - simple pricing model The world owes Spirit Airlines an apology. A generational run.

18 years. Detroit had to endure 18 years without a playoff series win. Everyone called us a fraud #1 seed. We deserve this win!!! DEEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!

A lot of things can be true: - The Kevin Durant burner saga cast a dark cloud over the team that impacted the locker room. Pretty disappointing to hear that was never actually addressed. - Kevin Durant was undeniably the best Rocket this season. There were so many games where his two-way impact was the only reason this injured Rockets team won the game. - From STRICTLY a value and on court production standpoint, the Kevin Durant trade was overwhelmingly the right decision. You make that trade 7 days a week. - I do not want to trade Kevin Durant this summer.

Hear me out… If Ime Udoka returns as coach, the left-field trade the Rockets should consider is Fred VanVleet for Ja Morant… Both are below average 3PT shooters (both shot 34.5% in their last full seasons). But Ja gives you POA advantage creation and elite transition that the Rockets desperately need and will never get with Fred. Especially the 32-year-old post-ACL version Ja’s best season was paired with Steven Adams… proven pick n roll read and react instant offense (what Udoka is hell bent on) Ceiling is higher, KD plays off-ball and lives off Ja’s paint pressure. Stone would never do it cos it’s too risky… but it’s exactly the kind of ballsy move you make when you’re this far from contending and entering KD’s age-38 season

Winning a game while looking like a crime scene during timeouts is a crowning achievement for Joel

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Joel Embiid. He’s gone through a postseason injury every season… So for him to fight through this appendicitis surgery to lead a 1-3 comeback against the ECF favorites with 34 in game 7 is special. Huge S/O to him.

A body LITERALLY falling apart SURGERY THREE WEEKS AGO KNEES SO SCARRED NIC BATUM COULDNT BELIEVE HE COULD MOVE BUT IT DOESNT MATTER 34 POINTS. 12 REBOUNDS. 6 ASSISTS. 1 BLOCK. A 3-1 COMEBACK JOEL EMBIID THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU

Damn. Tough week for the Bauer haters. “He’s washed” -> no hitter “Teammates hate him” -> endorsement from a first ballot hall of famer “Velo isn’t there” - sits 95 touches 99 with 10ks Sold out crowds. Sold out autograph sessions. Vlogs on fire. Life is good right now. Thanks to everyone who came out and made this week special! Love you guys!

@BeZo Nah man be happy. Lebron is here for you

I actually feel like offing myself. Can't trust anyone anymore

Yahoo Sports’ trade idea: Nuggets receive: Kevin Durant 2029 first-round pick (via PHX) Rockets receive: Jamal Murray

Thanks Albert! “I had an opportunity to play with him with the Dodgers. Who doesn’t want to have Trevor Bauer on their team? Of course.”

there must’ve been a 3rd brother in there that the Thompson twins ate that had the jumper

Cade Cunningham is what they look like. You tank all season long just to get a player like Cade Cunningham.

Can we also talk about these announcers Sengun gets whacked by Ayton, announcer goes “what a block” Tari barely touches Reaves and he flops, announcer goes “that’s for sure an offensive foul” Who are we trying to fool here

Cade Cunningham with the season on the line: 7-23 FG 3-11 3P 8 Turnovers
