    Take out the one guy cooking for no reason. Wasn't tired. Or foul trouble. Nor had the regular substitute pattern to warrant him coming out instead of him staying another couple of minutes.

    Act shocked when the team goes cold and the opposition comes right back after down big from the get go.

    No reason for Reed not to be shooting above 85% from the free throw line, or the very least 80%.

    Rockets were up by 11 early and finished the quarter ahead by 6. That is not ideal but acceptable.

    I wish they would lock in during the 2nd quarter instead of waiting until the 2nd half.

    Did anyone remind Amen to tell Reed that he’s gonna punch his face if he keep passing the ball? Probably that statement is only good for couple months and it’s due for him to be aggressive again

    Probably gone silent after Reed said he'd punch him back if Amen ever shot anything that wasn't a dunk.

    Reed changed his godawful shoes. He was missing everything in warmup too - maybe it really was the shoes?
