    Did I tag you every single game Reed had a bad game this season???? I like how you set yourself up to say **** when Reed has a good game like that isnt inevitable at some point in his career.

    You said you havent seen any rookie that you like more than Reed after the draft which is just dumb AF. Why are you even mentioning Kobe if you are saying Reed isnt like Kobe? Just cuz some rookies scored more than Kobe? Is Kobe 6'2 and taken no 3? They have nothing in common.

    I say **** that doesnt make any sense? How about you saying there's nobody better than Sheppard in his draft? And then pivot to "Reed will be a good player" like thats what you said initially. If you wanna say you think Reed will be a good player eventually then say that, dont say "I havent seen anybody taken after him who is better than Reed" and then get defensive when other people call you out. Hey I think Reed will be a good player too. Is he the 3rd best pick with hindsight? No.

    Put your money where your mouth is. How about a 100 usd tip jar bet Reed will not be the third best rookie in his class next year? We can do that every year until you give up. Dont stay in the shadows and then @ me when Reed has a good game. If you cant bet that Reed will be the third best player in rookie class then dont say **** like that and then get all defensive when others call you out.

    I'm tired of y'all jokers hiding in the dirt and then coming out when Reed has a good game to talk ****. Put up or shut up.

    Let's say we get #4. Flagg, Harper and Bailey have already been picked.

    Who do you draft?

    Even at 9th pick we could definitely have a chance of picking up either great center Maluach or Queen whom can easily continue double big for years to come.

    You say I said something "dumb AF" and you dont even reference what i said accurately. I said drafed after him AND not that i have not seen nobody better than him this season. only that anyone taken after him i would still take sheppard first (that's part of the point of bringing up the other rookies with kobe). I didnt compare him to kobe but only on that one aspect. I could use countless other players that had more minutes, more stats, was a better player than someone that had a better overall career later. lastly i will tag you when he has good games yes. with what over time should be regularly.

    and i can't do a bet right now. (maybe eventually i will) a single parent who is FINALLY finishing up grad school this May. once i start working again normal hours perhaps ill get back to you on that.

    you seem super angry about reed though. hopefully down the line you will cheer up a bit. reed is not the only player you have posted negatively about either.

    I think Reed is going to be like another lotto pick for us next year on top of whoever we get this year. Hopefully he gets a ton of playing time the rest of the year. Any of the top ten guys this year look good too.

    So you dont have money to mess around but you still act like a keyboard warrior?

    Yeah you said drafted after him so you think he is the 3rd best rookie in this class right? He was taken third in case you didnt know.

    How does you thinking Reed is the third best player in his draft class morph into "Reed will never have a good game his entire life"? You gonna tag me when Reed has a good game to show what? I think Reed can have a good game too, thats not what you are claiming though. You think those two are the same and you are the one who thinks I'm obtuse? How about you tag me when Reed is the third best guy in his class cuz thats what you are claiming? And you are a single parent but this type of strawman arguments is what you do? lol

    I'm not angry about Reed I am just not biased unlike you. I praise when players are worth praising and **** on them when they play bad. I also dont say Reed is the third best guy in his class after he just scored 4 ppg on 31% 3 pt and then start referencing Kobe. Ask any non Rockets person if what you said makes any sense.

    An Arizona website reported the Suns haven't been eliminated as yet. The Suns will miss the playoffs if OKC beats them, or if the Mavs win another game.


    Is this correct?

    You’ve had an obsessive hate boner for Reed since before we drafted him. It is well documented and multiple people have called you about about it.

    To claim that you’re not biased in your take about Reed is comical.

    According to the chart at playoffstatus.com, they are at a whopping 4% of making the playoffs (less than 1% as the #9, 4% at #10 via the play-in). Their road to redemption starts with beating OKC on the second half of a BtoB for both teams. I don't see it.

    They aren't eliminated. They have the tie breaker on Dallas. If PHX wins out and Dal loses out then PHX gets the last play in spot.

    Not yet. They own the tie breaker vs DAL. Still need 1 more DAL win, or 1 more PHX loss

    you guys are crazy sleeping on this guy.... literally perfect fit on our team. he's who I want most and would pick him #3 behind Flagg & Harper.
