    This looks like an 8th seed 43 - 39 team. Can't beat .500 teams.

    He's not that good at defensive coaching either, giving up 60 point halves is becomming way too common.

    It isn't just REED that is turning it over, it is KD, Amen, Sengun - teams are realizing our handles are not great, and is IME designing anything to help?

    NOPE, because he isn't all that great at coaching.

    This team is talented enough to use him as a decoy and hes talented enough to be used as a decoy.

    That's how he should be used right now. Because this whole "get KD the ball by any means necessary" is ****ing dumb.

    because spurs and bucks are considered "good" teams by NBA

    they're not going to favor rockets over these two teams.

    I think it's a little too early to say right now. I would maybe ask New Orleans about Jose Alvarado if we want to keep the price low. There are some bigger swings we could go after depending on what the standings are looking like such as Trae Young or LaMelo Ball, but that would be costly. Maybe too costly

    We have played 5 teams with losing records and we are 5-0 in those games. We have played 3 teams with winning records and are 0-3 in those games.

    I don’t know how the rotation is going to work (especially when dfs comes back) but they’re going to have to give with Holiday or Davison some minutes.

    Probably means a lot less double big, but I’m ok with that.

    At this point Ime should take a bullet and just use KD as decoy and not worry about lack of touch he gets, let the game come to him instead of our young force a pass to KD. I don’t mind KD scoring under 20ppg if he only shoot less than 10 shots with no TO

    We don't really have a choice. The trades we can make are extremely limited by CBA rules since most of our players have new contracts and are untradeable, and we're very close to the 1st apron.

    Looks like KD guides the team to be relax and careless. No ambition in the team at all, I used to expect them to come back hungry for the second half but now I don't feel that. Somebody, please ignite the winning mentality somehow

    Hopefully 2nd half is more fun to watch. Tired these last 2 games of only enjoying watching 1qtr/game.

    I've grown to hate the zone.
    Sometimes Alpi and Jabari with their back against the 3 pt line end up guarding each other while the shooter relocates 8 ft away for the wide open 3.

    Maybe we just are lot as good as we thought? Got too hyped over beating mid opponents early on?
