I really hope the Rockets end the season behind us in the standings

The KD virus slowly infecting the Rockets, what a bummer.

If they called and offered us a straight KD for Dillon Brooks swap, I would hang up. (I know it doesn't work under the cap, but still, if it did.) Not because I love Brooks, mind you, but because KD was so toxic for our team culture. Good riddance. Enjoy him, Houston!

One player cares about personal success and having fun and the other cares about team success at all costs. I take the team guy every time.

I mean, Brooks cares a lot about himself and his rep. I'm all for busting KD, but let's not pretend Brooks isn't all about his Villain image.

I don't think it is. Sure, it's part of it but he wants the best from his teammates too. See Gillespie and Oso.

I'm glad we could be a part of this. Twice.

I don't care about his intentions. But his results are CLEARLY the opposite of KD's.

This tweet seems exaggerated to me. Udoka is losing the locker room? I get the sense that Rocket fans really like Udoka. I haven't heard that he's losing the locker room.

Substitute KD for locker room.

The Rockets have fallen to 6th in the West, right above our Suns at 7th; they are only 2 games up on us now with a 17-10 record. You love to see it. Do you guys think they'll figure it out and climb back up the standings, or is this losing patch more indicative of how they'll play? I think they'll climb back up; they are too young and talented not to. I think they belong at around 4th in the West, ahead of the Wolves and Lakers.

My prediction... KD is injured in the next few weeks and misses 6 weeks; in that time, they'll probably play just as good if not better because KD is out.
