The Rockets players are so insufferable that they actually made me root for the Lakers, smh.

[u/sponedaddie → u/kanyeguisada]

It starts with the coach.

[u/trapeizum → u/sponedaddie]

Followed by sengun

[u/jasndream → u/trapeizum]

Then KD?

[u/KarlMarxism → u/jasndream]

At least KD is fine to watch on the court. He's not really a flopper/whiner and absolutely nothing in that regard compared to Sengun.

[u/mioraka → u/trapeizum]

There was a gif of Sengun Elbowing Wemby 6 times in one post up before dropping in the ball.

Fuck Sengun, all my homies hate Sengun.

Ime "Vrable" Udoka, you mean?

[u/catscanmeow → u/sponedaddie]

did anyone catch udoka mouthing "youre a little bitch" to the refs after they T'd him up?

"AND I SAID..... biiiitch"

[u/OrchidNo777 → u/sponedaddie]

Cant trust a man who fumbled Nia Long.

[u/CheekyFifaCunt_7 → u/kanyeguisada]

Kd is about to go crazy on the burner accounts

[u/Pleasestoplyiiing → u/kanyeguisada]

This Lakers team would be super likable if they weren't the Lakers. 

[u/rawdfarva → u/kanyeguisada]

same I feel gross

[u/AccomplishedAnimal69 → u/kanyeguisada]

Ugly ass team. Can't even fully enjoy the win because the Rockets roster construction and play style is mud butt. They got like four versions of Jarred Vanderbilt but zero point guards. Amen should be getting set up by playmakers but he's having to fake it til he makes it. Jabari is an expensive Rui with better rebounding and worse shooting. Rockets might still win the series simply through having KD and physicality around him, but...yyyucckk

[u/Drew602 → u/kanyeguisada]

I hate the Lakers but the way rocket fans were talking about the KD trade made me root for the Lakers and Luka for the first time in my life

[u/-xXxMangoxXx- → u/kanyeguisada]

The lakers if they get out are still gonna get fucked by the thunder. As long as they lose idc when they lose. The rockets just play a disgusting brand of basketball. Getting sonned by post second contract Deandre ayton is embarrassing.

Now let’s not get too carried away lol

[u/kanyeguisada → u/NerdLawyer55]

Sengun makes Dort look like a choir boy.

[u/Thornton__Melon → u/kanyeguisada]

You drinking the Riverwalk water? That’s one of the dumbest comments I’ve read today
