J-Dub out. Wemby out. Luka out. Aaron Gordon out. Ant just looked like he suffered a serious injury. But yeah, not our year, let’s not address the team’s biggest weakness with a first ballot HOFer on the roster. Unserious franchise and GM.

chiefs picking up - jadyn ott - John Michael gyllenborg as UDFAs is for sure some corrupt ass business similar to Austin Reaves to the Lakers when he was a clear late first round talent. both ott and gyllenborg will make the deal and make an impact. gyllenborg successor to kelce is in the cards - s/o to @DevyEusuf

If Adam Randall was going to go on Day 3, the Ravens were the absolute best landing spot for him!!

People chase highs in life (sex, drugs, power, money) because that’s when they finally have a reason to feel some degree of goodness. but the vehicle of getting there is wrong, and will only lead to running out or chasing extremes. Once you no longer have access to that key that can open the door. The low quickly follows and you’re left facing what’s within. Pain and tension. The best way to discover goodness is through vehicles which provide depth, and the good news is, These tools don’t exist outside of you. You just have to be courageous and curiously look within.

If you feel lost, build something. A business. Your body. A skill set. Anything that gives you a reason to learn and focus. Don't worry about choosing the right thing. Don't think about how difficult it will be. Just start moving forward and you'll find a path that feels right

The Houston Rockets are a clown show organization. Here is the truth about what has been and is going on- Kevin Durant is faking an injury so that the rockets can play their young core the remainder of the Lakers series.... So they when the Rockets lose this series, all the blame can be placed on the young core and their performance and Ime Udoka and Durant have no accountability. And of course the young core; primarily Sengun and Sheppard (the only two elite offensive prospects) themselves are playing with little to no confidence, because they have never been empowered or given any coaching or developmental support their entire careers. and have had their confidence jacked and minutes played with since day 1; and all been waiting for the season to be over since January and especially since the KD files. And Ime Udoka can use the excuse that Durant, Fred and Steven Adams were out and he can stay on board as coach and continue to not take any accountability for his teams play. Everything Ime Udoka has done since it’s been here is do everything in his power to marginalize Alperen Sengun and Reed Sheppard and find every opportunity to blame deflect for his ineptitude and stupidity. Not to mention Sengun has been an afterthought of the front office since he was drafted as he was benched for Bruno Fernando, almost replaced by Brook Lopez and has never been allowed to explore his game and play his natural position of power forward; and has taken all the blame for being the weak link on drefence when he’s anchored a top 5 defense and played out of position this entire time and been the scapegoat for every since problem since 2021. while Reed Sheppard was completely redshirted his rookie year for 40mpg of fred van fleet (sub 40% fg) and Aaron holiday. and then in his sophomore after taking a massive leap had his minutes jacked around and was benched for JD Davison, Josh Okogie and Aaron Holiday. all while Amen Thompson got an entire season to be the rockets point guard despite being horrific at it and showing minimal progression as a playmaker and continuing to literally be the worst shooter in the entire league. all while Tari Eason and Jabari smith were allowed increased minutes despite some of the worst shooting slumps in the history of the sport and actively losing the rockets multiple regular season games with their play this year. nothing over the last 5 years of this team has ever been based off talent or merit - its all been based of favoritism and politics and its SICKENING. Durant of course is a snake and talks behind his own teammates back and is in on this as well as Ime Udoka butt buddy Fred Van Vleet. This organization has been taken over by egotistical retards who think they are entitled to something. Alperen Sengun and Reed Sheppard have never been supported or coached in their entire NBA careers or given freedoms to explore and develop their game - why? Because they are white and labeled by a fake narrative and never given the chance to showcase their strengths and be put in a situation that suits their strengths and skillsets. This is coaching and front office malpractice and the Rockets will never win anything with these monkeys running their organization. I am officially out as a Rockets fan - because i know this organization will keep Udoka and Durant and Fred this summer and jettison Reed/Sengun and blame them for this teams performance; when in reality they are the best players this organization has ever drafted in the last 20 years and are both Superstar/All star Level talents. This organization built the right way just for it to be taken hostage by 3 egotistical retards. Very sad for rockets fans. and it is time everyone wake up and see the truth and bail on this franchise.

KD not being on the bench just bothers me man, I am sorry, but it just does, you have this 23 year old trying to rally his fellow young guys to a win that would have been such a confidence builder for all of them, but somehow your vet star was not there to support them all game

Alperen Sengun with everything on the line said - ime udoka you are useless, I will sit in your chair and lead this team. this is what a superstar is.

This was one of the most iconic moments of the entire rebuild. Sengun in the coach’s chair with only the other members of the young core. It’s just them. The look of sheer desperation over the gravity of the moment. Jalen already gone. The sense that if they lose, this all ends.

I still don’t understand why KD wasn’t with his team for Game 3. He’s won 2 playoff series since 2019 and his team was down 0-2 in a must-win game… he’s just MIA? What’s the actual story here?

Proud of Alpi last night for balling out in a must-win game. He’ll be the scapegoat for the season, no doubt, (Stone never wanted him in the first place) so everyone can save their jobs, and that’s fine. He was a 2x All-Star and the biggest bright spot of this failed rebuild.

When Kevin Durant hears about what happened to the Rockets tonight he’s not going to believe it.

JJ subbing Bronny in when the Lakers sweep will be the funniest thing ever 😭😭😭

From 2014-19, the Houston Rockets built a team that was ready to contend for a championship in the West -- only to be stopped in their tracks by Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. The final nail in the coffin: LeBron James and the Lakers in the bubble, forcing the Rockets to go into rebuild mode. In 2025, the Houston Rockets built a team that was ready to contend for a championship in the West -- only to be stopped in their tracks by Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Probably the final nail in the coffin: LeBron James and the Lakers in 2026, which may force the Rockets to go into rebuild mode again. Time is a flat circle.

Y’all crazy if you think KD is playing in game 4 btw. He quit on this Rockets team months ago when he was shit talking his teammates in those group chats. He’ll watch them perish on Sunday from the bench.

So Kevin Durant was "receiving treatment" for the entire three hour game after being a game time decision earlier? Horrible look. He might have already quit on the Rockets.

NBA teams were 1713-1 when leading by 6 or more in the last 30 sec of regulation in the playoffs in the last 29 years. They are now 1713-2. Rockets are the 2nd team in 29 years to blow a 6+ point lead in the final 30 seconds of regulation, joining the 2024 Knicks.
