    first of all shut the **** up. calm down. I asked a question. Reed was on a short leash last year. He wasn't allowed to fail like a rookie like his other draft class. Ime has been forced to play reed this year with the Fred injury. it was mandated that he play Reed instead of Holiday. I dont complain much about anything here except annoying post like this.

    goodness gracious stop whining.

    He failed plenty last year as a rookie, almost tragically. The leash given was actually too long, not too short. This is why so many people had him prematurely pegged as a total bust. Then, instead of repeating the mistake of tossing Reed into the fire, Ime was very cautious, but let Reed start a few games very late when the pressure was off. That was perfect. It was enough for Reed to learn exactly how he needed to improve himself in the offseason.

    And I don't give a care whether Ime was "forced" to play Reed because of FVV's injury and mandated not to play Holiday. That is totally irrelevant. Reed is thriving and that is all that matters.

    I love watching this team.

    He's looking good! Let's not jinx it. Hopefully he can keep it up and continue his all around good play off the bench over the middle of the season and into the stretch run. We can re-evaluate after all star break as some other poster suggested. Awesome stuff and I'm confident in the guy now as I was really starting to worry.

    I called that b**** out and made him take the L. Hasn’t apologized for his lack of basketball knowledge and being dead wrong about Reed. He should hang his head in shame for a year as punishment.

    Dude only hit 33% of his threes tonight. At this rate, he'll only make 16% of his threes the next game.

    You reference Curry as the best shooter of all time - I disagree. You might want to look at the numbers Steve Nash put up .... in a much tougher era.
    4 seasons of 50/40/90. That's twice as many as second place - Durant and Bird with 2 .... Curry only has 1.

    Nash also has higher FG and 3p% for his career.

    --------FG---3p%---FT%
    Curry .471 .423 .912
    Nash .490 .428 .904

    Curry shot at a much higher volume. Even the biggest Nash admirer would hesitate to call him a better shooter than Curry is...

    I'm a say this... I thought about trading him a lot in the past but at this point it's clear... trading him now would not only be a bad decision but it would cripple our future.
