    Reed added the long overextended midrange Cp3 shot.

    Even our third stringers are way better than last season. Is this the Jeenathan (Nate) Williams effect? Bro got waived after ball hogging in the Summer League, and we suddenly started improving.

    He had like 6 turnovers in the 1st half of the 1st Summer League game. Just awful

    Any 3rd stringer found to be ball hogging should be let go, period.

    Shepherd is flashing those skills we are watching develop. Remember, Jabari is just blooming after several years in the league. Reed will likely do the same. The Rockets have a lot of talent.

    I think it shows how good the chemistry and vibe is when even the 3rd stringers are working their ass off.

    Not sure about the others but Okogie is a great pickup for the vet minimum, he is basically the new and improved Jsean Tate just as Davison is the better Aaron Holiday. These 2 our pretty young and should be our bench brigade for a long time

    No more walk the ball offense from Jalen and Fvv. Is not a coincidence

    The offense looks dynamic again when the ball stoppers are out. FVV, Jalen, and even Brooks slowed it down to some extent, especially Jalen.

    Welp looks like this was Reed's "I'm too good to be left out of the starting line-up just give me a chance" game.

    Pre-season isn't a career game ;) No doubt he will do the same in a regular season game.

    The Hawks were not at full strength either. But don't tell that to some people.

    lol just say you don't know what you are talking about and disrespected the Hawks and move on. You are acting as if the game mattered and that the Hawks were at full strength.

    I think Ime will show serious improvement with his coaching this season.
