    No you explained nothing and addressed nothing when I challenged or questioned you on your faulty logic and lack of substantiating information. Instead you ran away and started to throw a fit then rained insults. This is typical behavior from you that you may want to change. Or not.

    At this rate we will trade him for a couple of second rounders next year.

    Hopefully. He needs to stay disciplined and in front of his man. Needs to gamble less jumping passing lanes or taking swipes going for steals instead of just guarding his assignment.

    Start setting expectations. Too many comfortable players around here.

    You forgot to say......3rd pick in a not so great draft where several could have made it to 3rd, obviously ROY Stephon Castle.

    'Look, Reed, where Stephon is and where you are'

    I mean I've been telling y'all they're expecting him to play like a playoff rotation player or his ass is gone. Didn't expect Stone to just come out and say it to the media though.

    Stone is saying Reed has to be good because the team needs him to. There's no one else. They didn't go out and add any other backup guard capable of playing 6th man minutes every game...Hence there is no other option...he has to step up and be a good player this upcoming season and they obviously believe he will....Otherwise they would have added a real contingency...I think people are reading way too much into the "he has to play well" and "we're not a developmental team anymore" stuff...

    It's in the same category as "Jalen was blitzed and it's on his teammates to take advantage of that" and "we really believe in continuity and are comfortable bringing back the same team"....

    ....Yeah, up to a certain point.

    Can anyone make a Reed sizzle reel to the tune of Cocaine Country Dancing? Thanks in advance.

    Man, I don't want to tell you how to be a fan, but how could you look at this off-season and the last couple of years and be so miserable? I think this is a really exciting time for the Rockets.

    Rockets fans are excited, Jalen fans are still in mourning.
