    Reed Sheppard report card

    No probably about it. Nash was absolutely a generational shooter. One of the best of all-time IMO. His volume was plenty for his era. He and Dirk...

    Reed Sheppard report card

    In the G league Reed was super aggressive with his shot and his handle. He lacks confidence on this level. He passes up open threes and Amen...

    Reed Sheppard report card

    How is that relevant? A player can play well or poorly off the ball. Ryan Anderson played off the ball and shot 40% from deep here, that doesn't...

    Reed Sheppard report card

    He's playing more poorly than before. I watched the game last night and he did little besides shooting. 8 shots in 22 minutes is almost exactly...

    Reed Sheppard report card

    Reed's minutes have been consistent. On the season 25mpg. Last ten games 24mpg. Last five games 23mpg. The difference is that he's playing more...

    Jabari Smith Trade Thread

    Bari doesn't have a calling card yet, a skill that the team can depend on every game. He's like the Wendell Carter Jr of power forwards. For...

    Houston, we have a problem…

    KD, Sengun, and Amen are an extremely talented and productive trio. Team identity is as important as talent and we've lost that completely. The...

    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    I'm right there with you on the analysis of Jabari's game and physical attributes, but this part is unfair. Most 22 year olds will not know their...

    Trae Young Trades

    Trae might prefer to go to a contender, but if contenders aren't knocking on the door he'll prefer to go where he can get paid. Washington will...

    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    Development can be more about building on a player's strengths rather than eliminating weaknesses. For instance, Amen hasn't made much progress on...

    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    Those averages aren't minutes adjusted so Jabari gets a boost vs someone like Tari who plays 11 fewer minutes per game. On a per minute and per...

    Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

    Rockets probably refused to include Jabari because he was better longer term value than Dillon and Phoenix had absolutely zero leverage. If...

    Harden trying to force trade to Houston!

    Rockets bring back Clint Capela (3 years, $21.5M)
