    Ime sucks at early challenges and it’s not even impactful, unless he is about to make Alpi a focal point of attack for next 8 mins

    LP blackout zones suck. San Antonio’s covers Austin, which is a pain.

    I feel like Reed is more open than in most other games but they just now started to find him. On the other posession KD took like 5 seconds to realize how open Reed was. He‘s such a lethal shooter, we should look to find him more. Especially with 2 guys that always need to be doubled.

    Perfect role for Reed until he can feel comfortable to carry an offense. Instant offense off the bench that demoralizes other teams are new meta

    Some of Rocket's past opponents (like the Cavs) opted not to Double, Nets does a good job of mixing their defense up. But it's nice to see Rocket's current group (Reed & co.) are countering the doubles better. We'll need it in the post season.
