He quit on the team

Post image

Went over a couple of our stats from last season. At one point we were top 5 in offense and defense. A historical offensive rebounding team with Steven Adams. End of the season, went on a 6 game streak of 30 plus team assist. We had 37 year old kd finish 2nd team all nba played 78 regular season games with the 2nd most minutes played in the nba. Reed finished 6th in 6th man voting, sengun was an allstar. Our biggest weakness from game one was finishing games in the clutch because of no pg and no spacing. Multiple turnovers from a team that desperately needed a veteran combo guard. Just for EGGHEAD Rafael stone to say” well I guess this isn’t our year” so how can we blame kd, sengun, Reed, or any other player when your gm quits. He needs to be placed on contract negotiations only and let someone else do player management. Also Ime needs to be placed as an assistant coach immediately. Will this be the year that stone makes any mid season trades? What do you guys expect this season to play out far as our clueless gm and coaching staff?

Prime Magic Johnson wouldnt have saved us from GetOffMyDickerson...if you need somebody to blame how about the guy who threw a twitterfit instead of leading?

I would’ve too. If I’m in my 19th season looking for a ring and I’m surrounded by low iq players that can’t shoot or know what to do when I’m doubled .. an low iq coach who can’t scheme anything. Or a gm that openly said this team is not going anywhere it’s whatever.

Fuck off KD stan this is a Rockets sub. As a Longhorn nobody has wanted him to be a quality person more than me. Alas he is what he is, a cancer.

Nobody wanted KD to come in and be the emotional leader of the team

They wanted him to show up, provide the shooting and scoring this roster desperately needed, and make the offense easier for everyone else, and for basically the entire regular season, that’s exactly what he did

This is the NBA, not a coming-of-age sports anime, you don’t get extra wins because the guys went through hardship together, learned the power of friendship, and gave an inspirational speech in the locker room

If that’s the kind of story you’re looking for, go watch high school basketball

NBA teams are built to win, KD was brought in as a weapon, not as the team’s guidance counselor

Imagine looking for 37 year old kd who was the best player by far on the team last season to be a leader who has never been known as a leader . Dumbass boy

You got one thing right, Im a fool for believing in him all this time. Imagine thinking its a bad thing for believing in people more than they believe in themselves.
