"I know how this movie ends, still I play" The Pels' horrid start to the season and Willie Green's eventual departure hasn't exactly been a shock. People saw this coming since the summer. At what point will this team stop proving their detractors right? https://t.co/7mFVeyafTx

Rockets are getting blitzed in the 3rd quarter. They look lost on both ends of the court.

Reed Sheppared turns it over three times in just over a minute span. Mavs ran off a quick 12-0 run to take a 79-68 lead. The jumpers haven't been falling for KD in the second half and Houston's offense has really become stagnant as a result.

End of 1st half: Rockets 57, Mavericks 57 Durant 20 pts (8-13 FG) Sheppard 9 pts (4-5 FG) Smith 8 pts, 5 rebs Rockets got some much-needed production from the bench with Reed Sheppard and Aaron Holiday combining for 17 pts on 7-9 shooting. KD has another outstanding half.

There are a lot of rumors swirling around the Pelicans and what they may do with their main guys in the trade market. I've been told by several sources they have not had any conversations with other teams about Trey Murphy, Herb Jones or Zion Williamson.

Kevin Durant when asked what he would've said if someone told him as a kid he'd score 31,000 points: "Ya damn right."

Final: Rockets 117, Suns 98 Thompson 31 pts (12-17 FG) Durant 28 pts, 8 assts Smith 16 pts (5-8 FG) Rockets pick up their 2nd straight blowout win, this one w/o Alperen Sengun. Houston ends the night shooting 59.2 percent from the field, 10-18 on 3s. They turned it over 23
