This whole game is an ad for the FO to trade for KD this offseason

This is why idk why everyone was so obsessed with fvv. It’s honestly crazy to me how everyone continuously overlooks his flaws. No one is discussing how overpaid he is right now…

Rockets getting swept. Hustle and hard work looks good in the regular season but the playoffs are all about elite talent. Raptors fans should be all too familiar with this…

Fred doing his awful hero ball nonsense. Give Sengun the ball

FVV the 2nd option on offense against the best team in the league LOL. It was so easy to tell Green would be a playoff dropper. Rockets should just forfeit after this game

Rockets need an upgrade on Jalen Green and FVV.

Probably the worst shooting backcourt in the playoffs rn.

I'm torn. I don't like the Warriors. It's true. I think Curry is an all time great (obviously) but ultimately overrated. Curry before Bird? Nah, I'm not buying that. If you are going to compare generations well then you have to ask yourself: how would that player play in the player's era we are comparing?

\

Curry never had to deal with that. Jokic never had to deal with that. Nor LBJ. Comparing eras doesn't work. That said, I do like watching Play off Jimmy.

FVV is a disaster. I wonder when Houston fans will turn on him.

Maybe it's no coincidence that Sengun is the only Rocket showing up. When the game tightens up in the playoffs, the biggest and most skilled players are least likely to struggle.

This is an advertisement for selecting Queen in the draft.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

Houston is a competent perimeter player away from being a true contender.

Booker?
