Hate the Rockets. Hope the whole squad shows up with energy or else it’s another annoying loss.

We always struggle with the Harden-led Rockets, it will be really tough. Hopefully AD plays and delivers.

AD is out. Frustrating. Most likely a loss.

Hopefully they can come out and jump on them like they did with the Thunder. The Rockets are 5-5 in their last ten, coming in losing two in a row. I think it will be close.

The narrative that Bron defers to AD needs to die. Bron plays the most 4th quarter minutes on the team and he’s taken well over 100+ more shots in the 4th as well than AD on the year.

KCP is second in 4th quarter minutes too lol

Bron looked gassed already. Being down 7 when he goes to the bench could be trouble.

Love the backcourt defense. Need to see a little more.
