When will Reed be placed into the starting lineup?

There’s no point going back and forth with Stephen.
Reed is his new target to try and diminish their value, like Alp was forever.
Now all of a sudden he’s a “star” or one of our two “stars”, when he spent years denigrating the type of player and production Alp offered.
Reed is next in line.
Wonder what the common denominator is with those two.

 

here’s the thing bro the rockets already run doubie drags for Sheppard to free him up. They do thus couple times a game for him.

He’s already “initiating” the offense. I just saw Sengun set a downscreen for him in the DEN game and Durant set an up screen for him in the Cavs game. He handles the ball full court and sets up the halfcourt several times a game usually setting up a high screen.

That’s why I don’t get the Curry or Warriors comparison or talk about designed plays for him. Rockets already are allowing him to make decisions and free him up with the high screen and other screens.

I also said the Rockets design their iso heavy offense around our 2 stars. Posting them up high mid or using them to face up at the elbows or top of FT line. This frees up shooters or cutters. That’s how we play.

 

Nope. I critique players on their level of play and have supported all Rockets players. I have been honest with all my assessments and have supported Sengun. Not once have I disrespected Sheppard. I even said his future is bright. Critiquing is not the same as hate which is spewed on here quite often. This conservation is about designing the offense to suit one player. If you think it’s hate then you’re letting your strong emotions and perception bias overshadow your thinking.

And Please don’t talk about denigrate when you have no issue with others disrespecting or hating our other players not named Sengun or Sheppard.

 

What a complete crock.
You have gone above and beyond to diminish Alp forever, and now it’s Reed when you’ve been proven so badly wrong about Alp.

Also, enough with the projection. I haven’t talked bad about any of our young players, I’ve defended them.
That’s a you thing.

 

Adams is a great backup to Sengun. He is elite at offensive rebounds and setting screens. He is bad at defense anywhere further out than the rim, he has bad hands, he is not a very good defensive rebounder, he is a bad FT shooter historically so I expect that to return. Our offense is mediocre when the two bigs play and very good when they don’t. Two bigs should only be used on special occasions, not nearly as often as it is utilized by Ime. We are going to get beat by the good teams going forward if we continue to force the 2 bigs lineup which is already among the biggest in the league without 2 centers in the game. Other teams have adjusted. There is no easier way to assess this than 9-1 when Okogie starts and 1-3 when the two bigs start. Conclusion: Ime is a stubborn ass.

 

Conclusion - we agree...

Imagine that .

 

No that’s your perception which doesn’t necessarily reflect reality and what I wrote. However, You are entitled to your opinion. I find it ridiculous that when people are emotionally tied to a player they are offended by mere criticism. Not disrespect but mere criticism of s player’s performance. Now That’s a you thing.

 

Sorry, the only person out of touch is you.
Post history speaks for itself.

Keep hating on Reed though, you were so embarrassingly wrong about Alp, it’s a good indicator for Reed.

You can’t even be remotely objective. Maybe JD needs to play over Reed still

 

What does hate mean to you? If criticizing a Player is hate then you shouldn’t be on this site. Again you say nothing when other players not named sheppard or sengun are criticized.

Go back to my history. As i have said your hyper sensitivity to these players you are emotionally tied to have clouded your thinking.

 

Says the guy that only posts when two specific players have a remotely off play.
You’re so hell bent on being right about the two players you have an agenda (we know why) about.
You aren’t objective, you’re hyper critical and look for any thing you can be negative about with Reed and Alp, all while going out of your way to defend Jalen and others.
You’re intellectually dishonest at best.

 

So you must not be able to read then or maybe havent read my posts. I have also been very critical of Amen and have been of Fred in the past. This all supports my assertion that you are heavily biased and see what you want to see despite evidence to the contrary. Your beef with me stems back several years as you were hurt and bothered of me simply criticizing Sengun which I have supported and continue to support.

I can’t help your hyper sensitivity and strong emotional attachment to these players. But to be triggered because of some guy posting criticism about your player is stupid. Waste of time really. You also need to discern between criticism and hate.

Agenda? “We know why?” What agenda? What money am I making off this fan site? What influence do I have? And enlighten me and tell me why?

 

I've seen enough. He needs to start and Stone needs to trade for a bench sparkplug like McCollum or Middleton.

 

Keep deflecting. You’re the butt of everyone’s jokes and you’re so narcissistic you can’t even accept it.
I don’t have a player, unlike you I support all our young players.
It’s very evident who your favorites are.

But keep on thinking it’s fair criticism, it’s funny to laugh at how wrong you are, so frequently.

 

I can’t help how you think. Only you can do this. I stand by what i have said and you are over sensitive and heavily biased. Look at this interaction. I was having a conversation with another fan that had nothing to do with criticism of his game and you decided to stick your nose in and accuse me of hate. I think you’re the one with an agenda.

Also “we know”. What are you implying?

 

Let’s be clear, there’s no accusation.
You are 100% being overly critical or “hating” on Reed. You did it in game thread early until he went off, then you were no where to be found.

You were one of the biggest and loudest detractors of Alp, when it was very clear he was one of the best young players in the league.
You have an agenda against Rockets players, specifically two, while going through absolute hoops to defend others that struggled.
Just because they fit what you think they should look like.
To be clear, I didn’t quote you. You quoted me. I told a poster there’s no point going back and forth with you because you dig in no matter how wrong you are.

 

You were clear the first time you messaged b****ing about this several years ago.

You also mentioned my name yesterday. I never mention yours ever because i could care less about you. But since you put my name in this it is now my business.

You are only proving me right with every word you say. This all stems back to you being triggered years ago and you accusing me of hate against Sengun meanwhile turning a blind eye on other players who fans outright hate. This makes you biased and fake. Again you see what you want to see.

Also explain the “we know” part again?

 

No one brought you up randomly, you were arguing with a poster and I told him in that moment there’s no point.
You are always wrong, you can’t admit it. You were hating on Alp in the offseason too, but now all of a sudden he’s a “star” in your mind.
There’s no need to explain, you know why. Your post history is very explanatory.

 

This is not true. When the Rockets play the two bigs, the offense has been amazing. May say it is limited and can only be used in certain situations, but "when the two bigs play" as you said limits it to what has happened...anyone unbiased should be able to see the offense is generally great when the two bigs play. One bad game does not change.

 

Everytime someone says always it means they’re Generalizing and exaggerating. It’s clear you don’t understand the difference between hate and criticism. So what’s the point in talking to you?

You see what you want to see. You were triggered years ago and butt in my conversation and mentioned my name which leads us here today. You do realize how crazy and pathetic this looks right?

Why? Until i hear it from your mouth explain to me what you said you coward.
