How did the Houston Rockets really perform this season?
In this episode, we break down player grades across the roster — including Kevin Durant, Amen Thompson, Alperen Şengün, and Jabari Smith — and let’s just say… not everyone agrees.
From B-minuses to A-level performances, this conversation gets real about expectations vs reality.
👉 Did Kevin Durant live up to the hype?

Meanwhile, the young core sparked major discussion:

Sengun’s defensive struggles and ceiling questions
Jabari Smith’s steady role vs star expectations
The biggest theme?

The rockets need to change who train their players the assistant coaches are the ones who train them they are mediocre 😢😢😢. And they need to get rid of the trash they have on the bench
I truly don't know what ya'll are smoking, both Reed and Amen grew considerably this year. Read finally got some PT. You guys consistently have the worst takes, lol.
Amen and Reed played well this season. Now Sengun is the one that regressed this season
Burner account or not. u get pay to play. As Knicks fan, KD did everything to win 78 games at age 37 yeah to bad for the injury in playoff's, People are often mad when KD doesn’t take more shots lmaoo. I didn’t know how he reached this argument. KD legit loves when the you guys make it to where he can just be efficient and they do them
