    WRONG. Dude had one great game all year stop coping and blaming everybody else except Reed himself for his bad play. As bad as those veteran players are they are all better than Reed Brickpard shooting in the 30s FG. You are the Mr Stats efficiency guy last year and now you dont care about Reed's efficiency? LMAO pathetic.

    Reed proved he wasnt ready even laid an egg in the all star games. Is that Ime's fault too? LMAO just keep quiet.

    PS in his rookie year Corey Brewer has been better than Reed Sheppard. How's that for irony?

    No he wont he played better than Reed.

    All these false comparisons nobody else in the core shot FGs in the 30s as rookies.

    Stop acting like Reed was on the level of other rookies on this team. His play is on the range of Garuba and Josh Christopher rather than Jalen or Jabari.

    Jalen and Jabari wont get 30 mins or even 20 mins but they would get 15 min at the very least..

    Are we talking about the game he went 5-14? It was a decent game alright. He was aggressive for a change. But calling it a great game is a stretch. Had Jalen posted that stat line, you bet booby would whip him a new one.

    No he had that super star game vs OKC. I think he scored as much that game as his total for like 10 games.

    I agree. Booby would go on multiple game rants last year and Jalen at his worst was still 3x better than Reed this year. Thats how you know he is just a poser and a hypocrite.

    Any updates on when he might be back? It would be good for him to get in a game or two before the post season.

    Lol the dumbest CF member chimes in again.

    We've been over this kid, you have no business even attempting to talk basketball. Leave this to your betters.

    It was a fierce competition, with an absolutely stacked field, but he stands leaps and bounds above the rest.

    He's the Wayne Gretzky of dumb CF posters.

    I would have figured if there was any real animosity yall would've blocked each other already so until that happens I'm just gonna assume that you and Roslolian secretly enjoy interacting with each other :p

    With that said, I hope that when Reed returns he gets to play decent minutes and completely replaces Aaron Holiday forever. That's all I ask for this season.

    This is the most ironic post of the decade. You’re not wrong about that poster’s quality, but … well, what’s the thing people say about your political hero? If you want to understand him, just listen to what he’s accusing everyone else of being?

    Lol I don't block people with almost no exceptions because I don't typically take random basketball talk seriously enough for any real animosity to exist. It's all in fun.

    That said, I do believe he's either a really dedicated troll or a genuinely unintelligent person. Either way, the result is the absolute worst takes I've ever seen.... like when he claimed Reed Sheppard had terrible shot mechanics.

    Reed is simply just going to need to work on his body and game over the offseason now that he knows what the NBA is like. He got drafted into a situation with a relatively short leash where usually a high draft pick is going to a team with minutes and the ability to make mistakes.

    I'm not really surprised, I thought his size and getting used to NBA strength and speed would be his biggest hurdle. I still think he could be a Derrick White type of player.

    Once you have a to qualify his minutes by saying the Rockets are trying to win, you are basically admitting that his leash was short.

    There's a lot of guys who come into the league at 18/19 and you say "they sure could've waited another year", and that's mostly due to their skills and feel for the game. Sheppard I think is the opposite: he has that, and I think this "wake up call" for what NBAball entails will be a proper motivator for the offseason.
