Just quoting myself to point out that Alpi is still the one who looks most likely to be a top 5 player this season compared to Amen. Last night just proved it's even further apart than I thought. Welp.
We can improve our uniforms. Too great of a city to wear trash. The player intros, underwhelming. Need more synth and a light show. For the light show to happen, you have to turn off the lights completely. When did we turn into amateurs.
sorry to say he could not stay in front of his man to save his life he was the definition of bbq chicken last night on more than a half dozen possessions no matter who was attacking
Being logical and honest, no FVV probably costed the championship. Rockets are league-worst at PG without Fred and the 24 turnovers opening night showed it. Also, look how good Fred was vs Warriors -- that series goes 5 games max without Fred. Rockets will still win 55+ games but winning it all is already hard enough, and we have our pants down and no draws at the 1.
But it was his first ever game playing more than 25 minutes. And it was against the best defense in the NBA. And against the team with the best guard defense in the NBA as well. Reed was a +/- 0 which means he wasn’t amazing or bad, he was just normal and did whatever he could. I’d love for him to continue to play and let the game show down for him. It took Curry like 3-4 years to become who is is, let’s not forget.
same as in summer league, he was getting blown by, by at least 3 different okc players he simply cannot stay in front of his man
