Three freaking hours for a non-OT game???

Ridiculous

 

Ime needs to lean into reed only minutes or KD's knees gonna turn into dust.

 

I've said it before, KD is single handedly bailing out our offence and is masking the problems which won't be addressed. We're not going far in the post season with these lineups.

 

How can he if the coaches don't believe in it?

 

It’s ironic that KD came to Houston to get some breather but ends up playing more minutes and carrying every game to small margin victory

 

We needed KD with 38? just to beat a team without Ant by 5 points.

 

don't worry. basketball gods work in mysterious ways.

ime gon find out soon enough relying on KD as THE offense gon bite him in the ass.

 

it’s easier for him to press the red rocket launching button….if he’s already out there tbh

 

Yeah he's a good defender, which is why Ime plays him as much as he does since that's what he cares about first and foremoest I think he does his crap on offense and people just want him off the court so start getting on his defense but he's at worst solid on most nights. Sometimes people get on him for being cooked by elite guards which is expected, but if he's on big forwards and such he can definitely put the clamps on.

But like shooting whatever he's shooting this month is a negative player even if he's an all time defender because we can't have this many bad shooters on the court.

Hopefully he can find some semblance of a shot again because Ime is going to play him.

 

Not a steal or rebound until ball is secured.

Sucks for the guy doing the work.

 

there isn't greater disrespect than what he pulled tonight

Reed played good defense. Reed wasn't hunted.

Reed shot 80% from 3 and 60% from the field.

He had the team highest +15 and was the reason we were even i nthe game. But he went with Okogie and Tate at the end.

Who the **** wants to play for a ****ing piece of sheet coach that sabotages you? Is it any wonder he can't play well consistently?

 

Season high 39 pts's eye contact review?
@DreamShook

 

Reed had a few possession where he just dribbled around looking lost and had no idea what to do with the ball when gobert switched on to him.

 

Then there was Okogie who looked like a G Leaguer

 

Gobert is a better perimeter defender than he gets credit for.

 

Is Durant even a shooter? No clue how he missed 3 free throws tonight LOL

 

What in the great back hollers of West Virginia wrong way Willard’s did this come from!?!?

 

they need to stop it with In-N-Out

that sh*t is disgusting

In-N-Out is TRASH
