    He seems like a hardworker, has good hands, can shoot. This is his first real game against an actual tryhard thunder team. Peopleforget he dropped like 20 on em last season on good shooting. Blaming this loss soley on him is just ludicrious the Thunder have one of the best perimeter defenses in the league.

    A lot of people actually. Same people who wanted to give Jalen "more time" at this time last year but want Reed yanked or traded for one game against the Thunder where he basically put up a Jalen Green like performance (on less shots).

    Reed seems to be getting a lot of criticism for a guy just starting out.

    Sheppard reaching a borderline All-Star level would silence 99% of these 'critics'.

    Who TF is blaming the loss on Sheppard? I haven't seen a single instance of that. Weird take.

    I think every Rockets fan will root for him if he exceeds on the court. But some folks are just programmed to look at 1/2 filled 8 oz glass of water as half empty space, instead of the 4 oz of water in it. Just different ways to view your reality.
