    I’m jealous of anyone that skipped the Don Chaney era.

    The Silas era was like our basketball great depression, it really taught me a lot about life. Things like, we won't always get what we want in life... Or anything at all for that matter so be happy with whatever you somehow managed to get even if it sucks.. like Sengun .. I'm happy he is here...

    I don’t think myself or anyone said Reed had a good game

    you should learn to Reed. He was impactful in the 4th Q. So that skewed it. If you look at the quarter by quarter or half by half +/- it will tell you.


    I’ve had this discussion regarding +/- several times and even showed how consistent +/- using a regression or simple t-test being simply due to chance is around 1/10000

    analytics and stats are helpful you just have to apply the right context and interpret them correctly

    I’ll leave you to it, please continue to dream about the 2nd seed experience

    Reed is the only one who's value has improved according to the Ringer since November.

    https://nbarankings.theringer.com/

    KD 11 --> 13
    Alpi 12 --> 18
    Amen 36 --> 41
    Reed 100 --> 90
    Tari 82 --> 92

    Every player goes into a slump through a 82 game schedule. The thing with Reed is and has always been, he is HIGHLY INCONSISTENT.

    Nobody is hating on him, I want the Rockets to succeed, I want him to succeed but I said it before they drafted him, all you had to do was look at his college game log. Nothing has changed, he plays the same way....2 or 3 good games, then 2 or 3 bad games.

    HE IS ALWAYS UP AND DOWN....You never know what you’re going to get

    Lol. They say the TRUTH hurts.

    All Im telling you is the truth. What I can't understand is how you wanted Jalen traded because he was inconsistent but you love Reed, who is inconsistent and don't play defense.

    But no, I don't hate Reed, I just love the Rockets

    Do you really believe this? I'd find it hard to believe the Rockets would trade for Reed at this point.

    Inconsistency is the worst attribute a player can have, any coach will attest to that and he doesn’t play defense. That's a definite no go

    You are so full of it, you literally can't WAIT to pounce on Reed and pound pound pound.

    There is no truth in what you say, it is all your opinion.

    And frankly it is wrong.

    But at least we know that you just don't like Reed, for ....god knows why......

    He was impactful last night shot poorly overall but his gravity was effective and he shot 3 for 7 on three balls, so he was a threat - was it his best shooting night, lol - no.....but he made an impact on a game we won.

    You have to rely on +/-, I don't. Im sure anyone who WATCHED THE GAME, can clearly see that he was poor in the early quarters but played better in the last quarter when the game was getting out of hand.

    I rather rely on my eyes as the ultimate evaluator, rather than +/-. Maybe that's why Morey never won a championship

    Let me ask you this, when you pinpoint the flaws with Sengun, do you hate him? Or when you pinpointed flaws with Jalen's game did you hate him? I hope not!

    I just took it as, you wanted the Rockets to get better at that position. I don't know how you arrived at that being HATE.

    However, I hope that you're honest in your answer but answer me this. Go back and look at Reed Sheppard's college game log and let me know your assessment and tell me has anything changed since he has been drafted?

    I think he is good at shooting 3pt shots, I can live with his percentage but he's so highly inconsistent! And that's a major concern....you can not count on him. And if you ask any coach, they will tell you the #1 thing they want from a player is CONSISTENCY

    Also, you never answered my other question. Why you so disliked JG inconsistency but love Reed?

    I wholeheartedly believe he's trying to go to Utah.

    DUDE, you only talk about REED....it is all you focus on.

    You obviously don't like him - or believe in him.....

    It is like you blame him for the team being completely broken, it isn't him........there are WAY worse problems on this team than Reed.
