in theory they match up with okc better than anybody. a great 3 pt shooting team who can match OKCs physicality, they still need an improvement at primary ball handler or the turnovers will become a big issue


The problem is OKC have frightening depth, esp at the wing and guard positions.

The smashed the Lakers the other day without J-Dub, Lu Dort and another vital player whose name escapes me.

What team can possibly match that type of depth


If the Rockets are fully healthy, they can go 9 deep with Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Eason, Adams, Sheppard, Finney-Smith and Okogie.

in the playoffs where the stars are playing 40+ you only need to match about 8 deep at most

The Knueppel Ktriple!!!!

Bridges passed it to him disguised as a missed dunk!

Possibly the greatest play of all time!!!!!!!

Gutted, Alpie one dish short of another triple dub

Still laughing at those who suggested the Rockets should trade Sengun, one of the most ridiculous suggestions i have ever seen :banghead:

Worse part about it is that it was a Rockets fan making that suggestion. This was even after his Eurobasket breakout. Crazy that people want him to fail.

I would like to think that his nationity/religion has nothing to do with it, but I just cannot think of a rational reason why anyone hates/dislikes Sengun ?

He is a humble, quiet achiever who plays the game the right way (not a dirty player or a blatant flopper) ?
