    Only reason we were in the game after being down double digits

    Reverts to his 4 non-shooters lineup, almost the 4th and Reed hasn't been in...even tate came back into the game. We haven't even hit a 3 all quarter.

    This ****ing piece of **** only plays Reed when he absoluately has to.

    He would rather the rockets go down losing his way of playing vs the right way


    When you sabotage people constantly they are of course going to regress. Maybe all our players regressing is this eratic lineup/rotation and favoritism

    I think it’s clear Ime prefers other players to Reed. It’s very unfortunate how much rope he gave Jalen and Bari, and compare that to his approach to Reed. Ime is plain wrong on his approach to Reed.

    Ime is a piece of **** coach, and person. Loser scumbag had accomplished nothing. Reed is 1000 times the player this perverted dog ever was so ime is naturally jealous of him.

    Yeah when you bring it up in comparison with Jalen. Jalen was a complete ass on offence and would actively shoot the rockets out of games and Ime would still play him. Jalen had better defence but there were games where he was 3/15 and Ime would still have him on the court.

    Ime is a fukn idiot.

    Ime is kinda like dusty in that regard. He would rather lose his way vs win a different way.

    This is an assumption here and big accusation without evidence but based on emotional attachment to this player.

    FYI many if not most coaches weren’t good NBA players. Many didn’t even get to play in the league

    As each game goes on it becomes clearer he ain't that great a coach.

    Anytime Conley comes in, so should Reed. Reed can handle this older, smaller player on defense for the most part. Glad to see him launching tonight.

    Highest +/- on the floor and got the whole team going to take a 9 point lead.

    Misses one 3 and heads to the bench lmfao

    I was at the game. Reed asked Ime to limit his minutes because he was overheating.

    It was weird he sat Reed so long in the 3rd before putting him back in. I think that contributes to Reed hesistating so much. Cuz when he came back in he stopped attacking. He was just dribbling around in circles.

    It’s obviously because Reeds value is as high as it going to be and he’s getting shipped out at the deadline.

    It is similar to how Silas treated Sengun. Ime will find every reason to sit Reed, keep him with a short leash and the kid has the talent, the talent that makes an impact and what the team needs now. It is not even an investment in the future, it is what we need. Just crazy.
