The Houston Rockets are performing better without Kevin Durant because their players are moving more and passing better.

“If you notice these guys, they do a lot more moving when KD's not there cuz it's almost like they're looking like, okay, let's see what KD's going to do. Tonight, Sengun got the ball, nobody was standing around.”

The Houston Rockets have an urgent need for Jaylen Green to evolve into a go-to scorer capable of carrying the team.

“I think that's what the Rockets need. I mean, this was a two seed. I mean, but I think the Warriors were favored. The Warriors were favored to win this series. They're the seven seed. The Rockets are the two seed and there's why guys that have been in game seven, Draymond, Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry.”

The Houston Rockets struggle because they lack veteran playmakers to provide leadership.

“It's like my turn, your turn. Like there's really no chemistry and continuity with those guys maybe because KD is out, you know, Ben Fleek ain't playing, you don't have no veteran guys out there who can help lead this young team.”
