From NBA Playoffs REACTIONS: Knicks DESTROY Hawks, Celtics & Nuggets COLLAPSE | Colin Cowherd: THE HERD. Category: Sports. Format: Commentary. This is a single keypoint from the analysis.

The Houston Rockets' net rating is significantly better without Kevin Durant on the floor, prompting questions about whether his presence, despite his star power, might be hindering the development and offensive flow of young players like Jabari Smith. This mirrors concerns seen with the Kyrie Irving-led Boston Celtics, where established stars sometimes limited the growth of ascending talent.

Impact: High. This analysis challenges the conventional wisdom of acquiring star power, suggesting that for ascending teams, the integration of a veteran might paradoxically stunt growth by reducing touches and responsibilities for developing players.
