    Am I understanding this right? You believe the NBA establishment conspired to keep Jimmer out of the NBA it was really important to them?

    His game today will be against the same team they just played, so I expect them to make some adjustments and guard him well (or at least try). I'm not expecting another 40+ from him, but I'd say that 25 points on good efficiency would make me happy.

    Can’t wait for the usual suspects to call him a bust again if he doesn’t drop 40.

    It's the NBA Deep State. You haven't heard about them yet? Adam Silver is eating children's brains in a pizza restaurant while conspiring against white players. Duh.

    You're making jokes but those guys now think you're an insider acting sarcastic to throw everyone off.

    Suggests to me that fans would be grading him differently if he had been a rookie during the "YOLO, chuck away" culture when Green & co were drafted.

    Cracking an Ime playoff bubble team is a different beast for Shep and Cam.

    Was listening to 610 in the background yesterday and Adam Spolane said he gets the impression that the Rockets want Reed to ramp up to more NBA minutes this season when he's brought back from RGV.

    This is so true.

    Reed has never been that player that just indiscriminately bombs away. The fact he was able to do it so successfully when asked for the first time is pretty damned impressive.

    Seeing Sarr run into pull-up threes was quite the stark contrast the other night.

    Any chance of a link or source to re-watch the game?

    And also lose. And also have trouble with defense. Just saying.

    I'm pro-Reed, but he might not fully be a pro we can have on the court much at this point.

    He did it a few times in college, but typically he was asked to be more of a pass first PG.

    Tonight I'm hoping he focuses a bit more on trying to create for others (even though they are terrible) but I still want him to get up at least 10 3's
