Rockets attendence or lack there of, is just as bad as their player. An awful franchise all around.

They can trade for Durant in the offseason.

The young, inexperienced team isn't going to come back against Steph and Jimmy.

I thought there were a heap of empty seats. They’re red shirts.

37 year old Durant isn't saving them....he has to be on a stacked team to do damage

Sengun and Sabonis the homeless , Jokic’s

Moses Moody seems like a really mediocre player. Horrible handle for his size. Not a good decision maker.

Not really. It would be depressing if I was a Rockets fan who never watches the Rockets and thought this is who they are, though.

I hope thats not the route Rockets are going.

Do they have a choice, all their other young talent is meh.

Yeah probably true. He's only 22 though so he can still make major strides.

But they need to offload either Green or FVV and bring in something better than that. I wouldn't trust either of them being reliable in the playoffs.

Really they should both come from the bench.

The most I'd give up for KD is Green + picks. They need to keep Sengun and Amen in order to stay competitive with KD. Having said that, I don't think he elevates them to contender-status. KD is washed.

Rockets are supremely overated... Who is there go to player? Sengun?? Modern day pay gasol? Good player but most definitely not a #1 championship caliber player.

Nothing wrong with Sengun. He’s the best player

No one is going to help out Sengun, it seems

i mean for this series there's not much they can do. They are doing enough defensively and Curry and Butler are hitting tough shots. But their offensive game is so ugly. They are waiting till 5 secs in the shot clock to go ISO and a tough shot. :banghead:

It's not even that. Where was this houston offense even ranked in the regular season?

Amen looks pretty good, but I don't know if he looks better than Sengun. They're locked into this roster as they can't tank anymore. Like you said, they don't have a choice but to try and build around this core.

I like amen a lot but if you can’t shoot in this league, you’re what, a 3rd option at best on a contender? Probably closer to 4th option

Who wins?
