    If he keeps up the progress at this rate, I definitely would not trade him for a guy like Jrue Holiday. I see Curry type potential with Reed.

    I think he was alright, but after few games, I love him. He is truly a team guy, you can see him always high-fiving and try to liftt his teammates up. If you look at his shots that are made, a lot of them are bottom of the net buckets. 4 Steals.... This is the type of players Rockets will need in the playoffs.

    Best game of reed so far. A complete display of his package : IQ & vision, sharp shooting. and this is only his beginning. Rocket should continue investing in reed, given his star ceiling.

    He's getting more comfortable after his rookie season where he looked like a deer in headlights.

    Continued success. Rockets need it.

    Happy for him... Hope Rockets have him working on his handles and vision this summer.... When he starts initiating to go along with his shooting, Mark Price 2.0 will be born ... Also needs to get nastily aggressive when he smells blood!

    And you deserve a kick in the nutz for comparing any of our players to the Utah j*zz.

    Every Rocket fan hates those jackholes .... or they should.

    once reed trusts his feet instead of his hands on defense, he might be a problem. Reed is always out of position on defense because dude is trying to poke the ball out instead of just playing defense.

    People forget that Nash had 4 50/40/90 seasons which is 2 more than anyone else and career averages of 49.0% FG, 42.8% 3P, and 90.4% FT, which is an absolutely insane stat line.

    KD and Larry Legend are the only other players to do it more than once.

    Shout out KD for going out of his way to praise Reed. You can tell he’s always trying to instill confidence in him. Not long till they start running some of those Curry actions together

    Speaking of that.... KD is petty as **** it wouldn't surprise me if at some point he calls Sheppard the best shooter he's ever played with just to throw shade.

    Alright, alright, alright.

    We got Baby Jokic, Baby Steph, Baby Freak, Baby Kawhi, Baby KD, and Grown-ass KD all on the same team.

    You're describing Derrick White. I would like to have Derrick White here.

    Agree about Amen. We need someone to coordinate the offense. It will be interesting to see who's available in December. We have everything else on this roster to contend.
