    I forgot him earlier, but @DaDakota would be furious if we all forgot to mention Dan Langhi

    I really don’t want to overreact after 2 Summer Leagues games but WE MIGHT NEVER LOSE AGAIN.

    This guy won't be G-League bound. He'll be in the rotation

    He may nnot be our franchise player, but he's already better than Jalen Green in most skills needed to be a playoff caliber lead guard.

    @coachbadlee made a post about crow recipes after game 1. I think he sees the light now.

    I love that after several many dark years, the Rockets and Texans have seriously bright-looking futures.

    Stone talking about what made the Rockets think the transition would be "easy" for Sheppard. He makes a comment I also noted a while back in one of these threads : If you want to watch some pretty basketball, go watch some of Sheppard's AAU team play. There is a full game out there where his team takes on a stud high school team with Bronny, Dillingham, etc. and destroys them with passing and shooting. I damn-near cried watching that game. lol.

    lol @Clutch trying to brush it off like 70% of Rockets fans wanted this…in January. Don’t need to congratulate me though, I should congratulate Clutch, and every Rocket fan out there. We got our 1A.

    He was projected to be the number 3 pick on a bunch of sites.

    I was a few weeks later than you, been a Reed stan since February.

    We have Baby Jokic and Cocaine Curry and two guys with shades of Kawhi (Amen and Tari).

    Yeah a month before the draft, not January. Also what does that mean? Sarr was projected #1, an absolute bust that got dominated by Orlando Robinson, means nothing where you were projected, still have to figure out who is the right pick. Reed should have been the overwhelming #1 pick and only “fell” to 3 because of what he looks like.
