ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins didn't hold back following the Houston Rockets' 101-94 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second game of their first-round Western Conference series.

With the loss, the Rockets fell behind 0-2 in the series despite the fact that the Lakers are missing star guards Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Perkins hasn't been impressed with what he's seen from Houston.

"The Rockets are the dumbest team and the most selfish team in the postseason. JJ Redick is coaching his ass off so much that he's coaching circles around Ime Udoka," Perkins said during an appearance on ESPN's Get Up.

"We could blame Kevin Durant for those nine turnovers, but we could also blame Ime Udoka for having Kevin Durant in that position, knowing that they're gonna send two people at him every single time and double him."
