    My gut is the same re improving handle. Not something you do later in career, MJ is one of the only people in NBA history that did make the leap

    Reed doesn’t have to cross people but if he dribbles constantly and does drills out of the wazoo he will at least not be picking up his dribble

    Expecting Reed to make the same progress as Harden did with his handles. Solid is good enough.

    That was a horrifically officiated game. Scott Foster was in full effect.

    By my count, at least 11 dodgy calls went against the Rockets in the 4th.

    Scott Foster is the king of the assholes

    lol, you forgot 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals. We don’t win without Jabari’s defense tonight it is what it is.

    Jae'Sean getting a flagrant on a box out has to be up there with the worst calls of all time.

    Holland looked like he got shot out of a cannon because he flopped so hard.

    Jabari was a beast tonight. Reed hit some big shots, but was putrid in the 1st half. Durant had his best game as a Rocket and started it out by deferring a lot. Last 2 games our offense has been much more team oriented. When they trust each other (even when their sharp shooter is going 1-7) good things happen. Much better ball movement against one of the best defenses in the league. It helps that the Pistons are not a good 3 pt shooting team. We don’t seem to do well against those.

    How about Stewart shoving Sengun in the back of the head with no technical called. Scott Foster is as crooked as they come.

    We would have won by 20+ if the game was officiated fairly

    I think it’s also a roster construction issue
