Sorry Stan, you've already gotten all the attention you're going to get. Go do your homework.

 

If you want to see vitriol towards Reed just find a mirror. Dude barely gets on the floor, so hard to judge him. Also PGs usually take longer to develop, just look at the first season of his best comp at age 22:

Best player in the game... NAH...

First off... What you described doesn't equate to best player in the game, but also it's nowhere close to being true... he has clear major flaws in his game... He's not a good shooter... Subpar FT shooter as well... He also isn't an efficient scorer... This doesn't mean he can't become one and he's shown he can have big performances, but to put it in context... Jalen Green is a more efficient scorer than Banchero... And no that's not just this season... For his career Jalen Green is more efficient than him.

The same Jalen Green who we've all killed as a majority for being an inefficient "chucker".

Pump the brakes bruh.

 

He barely gets on the floor cuz he sucks ass. RS is treated like a prince on this board compared to Jalen and Jabari when they were rookies. Jalen got called Corey Brewer before he even started playing and Jabari was treated like the unwanted brother next to Chet and Banchero. Sheppard oth has the defense squad and excusers like you who defend him every game. Keep in mind RS is coming into the best position of any top pick we have. Jalen Green and the others went to a tanking team with no direction and everyone blamed them for losses. RS going into Udoka and even has FVV as a mentor. Not being able to produce is unacceptable. Is it really that hard to shoot wide open 3s? How come Jordan Hawkins can shoot day 1 but Cocaine Curry allegedly the best college shooter ever is shooting 4/17?

If RS will take 3 yrs to develop we should have taken someone with a higher ceiling like Stephon Castle. If Castle learns to shoot 3s he will be much better than Sheppard can ever be.

The best thing to do now is put Sheppard in GLeague and then bring him back after a couple of months.

 

Sengun played like he's scared of Wemby. Really not liking the way he's approached the last 2 games against the Big Baguette

 

At least your whole team is trash with a ..

Udoka has paralyzed Alperen's game..

 

Hear me out ... I know it is only one game ... but ... Steve Adams is the Rockets’ franchise player ... +11 in 14 minutes.

When Steve Adams sets a screen, you can see the fear in the opponent's eyes.

 

I guess something's not right but the Rockets secret intelligence won't tell until it's very late.

I don't think he was very comfy in that Hornets opener either.

Whether it was bad off-season workouts or another issue we have to guess. [propaganda machinery]

Same way they said Tari had a small issue last year until news broke out.

I am used to it.

 

I said will not is. He will get there.

 

I literally was watching the game and thinking that dude is SOLID... not super flexible.. but enough to get the job done.

I also thought he altered a shot or two (no blocks). Had players thinking about their shot.

Anyway, I'll take the W

 

That game made me mad as hell. That flagrant that they called on Tari was one of the most blatantly corrupt instances of the NBA trying to manufacture an outcome that they have tried to pull off since the 2018 conference finals.

 

Got a W and no one was injured in the process. That's all I need. Happy with the game.

 

The irony of it being called in San Antonio, home of known landing zone offenders Bruce Bowen and Manu Ginobili.

According to Cleaning the Glass, Green has been out offensive MVP so far and Brooks our defensive MVP in this small sample size of a season.

All the other main rotation guys are having rather poor impact as of now.

 

Just imagine, our big two was supposed to be Jalen Green and Paulo Banchero....

 

Jalen has looked like our defensive MVP as well. The stats and eye test back it up. He's been a two way phenom so far. Jabari has been great as well defensively outside of a few Jabari-esque moments.

 

Goat? LOL... His health won't hold up... Just based off history and probability of a player with his size and build.... And even if he does.... AD level player at best.

 

Felt like he was guarding him all game whenever they were both onthe floor together. I dont think he only did it for just 8 minutes
