    Seeing the 5th forward on OKC get whatever he wants against Jabari isn't fun

    Someone needs to tell Reed to shoot more, one big reason we drafted him was his ability to shoot but he looks like he doesn't want to step on anyone's toes by taking shots.

    Oh I agree, we're not going to pull out some new playbook or anything.

    Was just saying the intention is often different from teams.

    It was just funny seeing all these wild takes about the team based on pre-season games.

    I’ve watched 95% of rockets games every year for over 30 years. I already know this team wont be in the top 5 most frustrating. Maybe in that 8-10 range though.

    according to cf, Jabari is a Giannis stopper lol. He will play a good game in 2 weeks and crawl back in his cave.

    I think I'm ready to accept that Jabari would just be a career sub-15ppg forward on a good day

    Is depth really a strength of this team? Feels like they’re doomed if Fred’s not on the court

    How many of these guys can u actually trust on a nightly basis?

    Bari’s lower body only weighs about 20 pounds.

    Man! I like Reed already. Very smart .. the ball doesn't stick .. the Rockets should play with one of FVV and Reed for 48 minutes

    Jabari just trying something new lol.

    Usually, he looks great in pre-season/gleague/scrimmage games then looks average in actual games so he's trying to change up the ritual. Relax.
