Westbrick has such low basketball IQ, and it shows in clutch time. He is a liability.
Valid wild ending, no 🧢
Kings only won 1 game 😂 dose not matter there still ain’t getting anywhere 6-22 crazy
Rockets beat Denver on Saturday so Dosent matter to me they’ll have another chance December 22
KD talking shit about LeBron
I see why they don’t want you taking the last shot🙄🤣🥴
KD missed many shots… not his day
Game tie and that hoe went for 3 smh nothing like 90s and he’s a súper star still ooh d clown f Kd
smh…If they called Carry in the NBA, noone would ever make it past half court…Especially KD….Not only does he carry with every dribble, he is the least clutch person on the team, shouldnt be dribbling so much, and needs to work on his jumper. Houston shouldve kept Brooks.
It’s just one point calm down we gave yall the game to save yall season kings still ain’t gunna do shit this year but watch from the side lines 😂😂
Bus rider KD could sit down with the flop queen and try to throw shade on MJ's legacy… but they both are sour losers who will never be…
FIBA DENNIS
Welcome to the bottom of the playoff bracket Houston. Get comfortable because you're going to stay there. I know a lot of people pumped you up before the season, but this ain't working. Likely you'll avoid the play-in, but not guaranteed. Good win for the Kings. They've had the 4th Quarter magic a few times this year.
They have vets that are capable of these kinds of games, if you let them stay in it. But no way the fully loaded Rockets should be losing this matchup. Shame on em
If you are reading this KD is in the GYM as we speak working on that Elbow Middy
Rockets need to stop losing in overtime, especially from scrub teams
That’s why nobody will ever come close to MJ and KB for killer mentality.
I feel like kd Russ and harden should try and pull it off 1 more time
Rockets are frauds this year. How tf you lose two lead games with KD and Sengun on your team??😐😐 this team is not legit this year
You have KD ( two time MVP and NBA champ.,legend, thats enough), you have Alperen (23 years old All-star,currently no:8 on KIA MVP race, maybe potential HOF),you have Amen(crayz athletic), and you have Tari,Jabari and Adams and so on… Yet your game looks weak and wacked no sign of thoughtful tactics players seems to be frustraded and sad you keep losing to bad teams, you dont use the players the way you should and talking about others staff like foul or referee.Momentum and vibe feels so wrong nobody tries to defence other than Adams and Alperen your offence tactics doesnt even exist. Like other coaches drawing tactic around their best players and its working good enough Houston looks like they just playing how they know to play since highschool.There is no player to blame in this team but Ime Udoka. Houston has good roster but thats it. No Soul, no competition or anything a big franchise need. Ime Udoka and his crew needs to leave before its too late for Rockets. Otherwise this losing streak and frasturation gonna be even bigger for team and fans. Cut the snakes head before it grows !
Has 15 seconds and chucks up a 28 footer. KD is over rated.
KD this is what happens when u run your mouth trying disrespect past legends and era 😂😂😂 now u look sorry asf but keep talking 😂😂😂
Russell is playing amazing for his old age!
Rockets #17… 6:22 This L on you. Why do u leave your man behind 3pt line when down by 2.
Don't know why teams be passing up on Schröder so often, but he always does his thing.
Westbrooke never hits when it matters
KD is a Melo. Great hooper but can't lead a team to victory. Melo has more dog in him though
If he wont let go Schroeder it wouldl be ot or win what a mind set 😂
It’s weird to see Westbrook and Durant still going against each other, especially now that they’re on different teams. I’m more used to seeing them as teammates. But if they were opponents with Durant on GSW and Westbrook on OKC, that would feel more normal.
Schroder is underrated. He outplayed KD
Houston deserved to lose after wasting the lead
4:22 67
310 more dollars if it goes in but I'm not mad😊

👉🏾Let's Do It Again👏🏾
*Rockets gets the 'L'!
*NOTE: Regardless, a team's SuperStars are expected to take over every close game with their talent & BBIQ (take no prisoners)!
NOTE: Who's the SuperStar for TeamRockets…?!
*Again, this is the League, (any given night the worst team will beat the BEST team, IF…)!
*Wow, the Rockets are not READY for PrimeTime, (not yet)!

Reed Sheppard is a defensive liability. good player as well.
Loved Schroeder when he played for the Pistons. Was sorry to see him go, clutch, effort guy.
Wow Durant don't have any Killer instinct, he was so nervous in overtime. Houston should have not traded for Durant, they were much better last year and had better defense.
same situition lebron to schroder vs minisota 2023 play in.
Schoder just took over the game, great Killer instinct and didn't show any emotions. He had a very serious Euro league flashback.
Freak. When did the league get so young that watching Derozen feels like I'm watching old timers?
And KD the G.O.A.T….. 3 loses in OT
Tari Eason, you're a complete idiot. How could you leave a player like Shroder open in the last second of the game, you fool! We lost the game because of you.
Why would you try to help defend on the inside when you’ve already got 2 guys on the inside while DeRozen is already in the inside?!? lol
Man it feels like these guys have played each other like 10 times already lol
Huh KD, I guess some guys are still learning how to talk and play…
KD sucks, Draymond was right..
How can schroder just walk out of bounds like that😂 he was left open like a dummy but how is it legal..leaving the court of play..pretending to be hurt
Damn that looked like a good game
Kd Aint like that😂😂
If there's one thing I bet on, its Westbrook beating durant
