    Its the perfect move

    the scouting report has been DO NOT LET THIS GUY SHOOT

    Reed basically has an open lane half the time. Soon, he'll get more space on his shot since they watch the drive

    @Reeko playing the EG role when Rockets start making stupid plays in the clutch.

    KD: i'm fine with playing almost 40 mpg. I'm prepared for 48 mpg if asked. I'm getting paid $50 mil a year so I have to prepared to be available and help the team as much as I can.

    Reed had 18 points and only made one three and fat Ime (mostly) let him close out a game they won

    Great win, good coaching for the most part, young guys did well…super satisfying overall!

    We were fantastic defensively on the 2nd night of a back to back—I feel like we usually do well against teams without a really great offensive big!

    Reed is growing game by game, that’s the one thing that will make all the frustrations of this season worth it!

    didn't even catch this until Calvin Murphy pointed out.

    Reed jumped off the wrong foot lol. Wrong foot and still got the layup to go.

    Every time this season that I’ve thought we hit an inflection point after a Reed Sheppard takeover, notably after wins over GSW, DET, and SAS, Ime has reverted back to his default baseline of leaning on journeymen defenders so I’m not going to hold my breath on this one. Reed took over in the third and we built the lead tonight. Ime came back with him in crunch time, and everything was fine. Everyone is safe and nobody died or is hurt. We beat the best team in the East with a 6’8 All-NBA point guard who the Ime apologists would tell you should’ve hunted Reed out and abused him.

    This play never gets old. The funniest goof up I've seen with the Rockets.
