Fans may do this again on Friday at the Toyota Center if the Rockets play like they did in the first two games.

On this Earth Day, I am thinking about how no mainstream news organization, except maybe the Weather Channel, is reporting on this nationwide drought we are currently having.

I think when people talk about the Durant trade, they never mention the 10th pick last year. It’s not Dillon/Green for Durant.

It’s those guys plus one of Maluach, Coward, or Bryant.

The Coward part gave me pause, calling it a slam dunk before the trade, and man, are the sirens going off now.

I mean I think Suns fans warned us this would happen.

On the bad side, I don’t believe Sengun is Sabonis or whatever, and on the good side, I don’t believe the rosy-colored vision most Rockets fans have of Amen, but I do believe, unlike Green, they have a ceiling together this coach is unable to unlock.

Sengun and Amen look worst because a) they were asked to do a lot more this year b) Durant as good as he is has a bit of track record stifling guys c) They are both limited because of shooting

I think the general rub with trading with either is your trading them at their lowest value.

The worst part of this is I’m on the East Coast right now, so I stayed up to 1:20 am to watch this Rockets disaster.

How is that not a foul on Jaxson Hayes? I mean come on.

So many turnovers for KD in the fourth. Ugh.

Luke Kennard faking both Okogie and Bari out of their shorts is not a good look.

I think the issue with Sengun for Giannis in off season dreams is that if he plays like this for the rest of the series. He’s not going to be valuable enough to be the centerpiece in a trade like that.

Sengun has been bad but you are just not going to win in the playoffs shooting 21% from three.

Refs are calling all the fouls they should have called on LeBron and Smart on Laravia.

Best we can do is a 7 Mary 3 in the Trump era.

It’s cumbersome out here.

He got two of those turnovers.

I agree that he needs to shoot better.

I actually don’t think our starters have been that bad. Our bench has been horrific though besides Tari. Please Ime stop playing Tate.

Sengun is +5 in this one, fwiw. Some of the shots have not been great but I think he’s been okay otherwise.

I will watch the third quarter, and report back.

I am absolutely not watching the second half if the Rockets are going to play like this.

I don’t think people realize that as long as they’re willing to act as if white people are just a little bit more important than everyone else, they will keep getting the same results.

It’s shocking that the Magic pulled off this upset, but it’s also not shocking. If you know what I am saying.

Every election cycle it’s crazy to me how many states don’t have primary run offs. People going to the general with 36% of the vote, seems off.

Tbf guards can’t get it to him in the low post. Plus Reed seems like a year away from running a good pick and roll. Amen just can’t/doesn’t run a pick and roll.

No excuses Alpi played badly but we need a point guard in the worst way.

Worst part of this game is it makes our whole rebuild feel like a failure.

Amen, Sengun and Jabari getting blown out by Luke Kennard, De’Andre Ayton and a 41 year old LeBron.

Amen air balling Reed’s perfect pass sums up the night really.

None of the Rockets have played well
in this game. Not one of them.

Sengun just can’t be 3-13 with KD out, he’s got to be better than getting stuffed by Jackson Hayes.

I either have to believe that all these players are this bad at offense or that the coach can’t coach offense. And sorry I just believe the latter.

Rockets are just not smart and the Lakers are.
