    Does anyone doubt Ime sabotages Reed now?

    ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 1/15/2026

    Reed Sheppard report card

    Amen, Okogie, and Davison, too, had opponents blow by them several times. We are not even talking about KD's defense. The help defense is the main...

    Reed Sheppard report card

    Indeed. Tonight was the latest example of that. Yes, Reed got blown by the offense a couple of times. But Amen had more blow bys, more turnovers,...

    We need some pure shooters

    We need some pure shooters

    We have a pure shooter in Reed, but he is relegated to being a caddy for KD. Most of his duties on offense are to take the ball past the halfcourt...

    ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 1/7/2026

    KD is not the answer !

    While there is a great deal of clamor for a pg, I think that is not the fundamental issue with this current team. I wonder if FVV can solve it if...
