Kevin Durant Responds to Zach Lowe’s Body Language Claim
The The Houston Rockets haven’t played a very inspiring brand basketball lately. The lack of a reliable point guard to orchestrate the offense seems to be costing them, and their inactivity at the trade deadline didn’t help matters. And amid the Rockets’ turbulence in recent weeks, many are trying to diagnose what’s wrong in Houston.
This was pointed out by NBA insider Zach Lowe Kevin DurantHis body language, at times, did not help the team. Lowe pointed to Durant’s “deadness” and how his frustrations on the court are very palpable, as seen in his reactions to poor passes by his teammates. Then he added that he was The rocket star’s body language has a tendency to “intimidate” the younger players, of which there are many in Houston.
Durant, however, thinks so this is overblown and that Lowe is simply an “outsider” trying to “disrupt” the harmony in the Rockets locker room.
“Here we are Rockets fans, outsiders trying to disrupt…” Durant wrote on his official account on X (formerly Twitter).

As is the case with these things, the truth is almost always somewhere in the middle. Durant’s reactions may intimidate some of his teammates, but the Rockets star simply wants his team to get better with each game.
The Rockets continue to address their plaid issues
As much as the Rockets would like hand over the keys to Reed Shepard, his defensive shortcomings kept him on the bench, and head coach Ime Udoka was hesitant to give him a bigger role than that.
Amen Thompson was selected as the point guard, but the lack of floor space made it difficult for him to run the offense. The Rockets try to solve this by using point guards by the board approach, which can lead to inconsistency from night to night.
