The results speak for itself. When Reed starts we are 7-2. Because of his skill set, he can open up everyone else’s game. He allows Amen to play his natural role on this team. By starting Reed, we have the best chance of beating the playoff teams. Coach Ime needs to run a consistent 10 man rotation so that the team can have fresher legs at the end of games also.
Teams will isolate Sheppard and Sengun on one side of the court....but go ahead. Little thing called defense doesn't matter
“But every team will expose the rockets inability to ever score points” oh wait that’s right that has been every game th last 30 games there’s a little thing called offense. Today’s game actually disproportionately favors the offense if you haven’t noticed. that was a bad game for Reed defensively, but he was playing like prime curry on offense. If senguin played with 1% heart or effort we win. Reed is much better most of the time, and the numbers overwhelmingly show that for some reason people here adopt the dumbDoka logic which has manifested itself in the most declarative way possible ..Ls 8-2 when Reed starts
https://www.si.com/nba/rockets/onsi...to-spurs-hall-of-famer-four-time-nba-champion "People see the scoring and highlight plays and kind of get fixated with that, but there's a balance to a team. Whether you're looking at it from a defensive standpoint, with the starting lineup or offensive standpoint. You lose certain things with Fred being out and Dillon being gone. …Fred being gone this year and our two main handlers being out there together at the start of the game, in Amen and Reed, it's easier to stagger those guys. Definitely a consideration for us and he's started at times." Udoka then compared Sheppard to NBA Hall of Famer and four-time NBA champion Manu Ginobili.
Nothing you do should be emulated or modeled after. You don’t read or believe in critical thinking. You also have zero coaching or playing experience so you really have no basis or grounds for calling a professional coach low IQ especially when players and coaches around the league respect him. I simply cited a report on Udoka’s reasoning and presented facts. And i presented stats from those dates. Lots of variance as he would shoot over .500 one night then next few games shooting 14% or less. That’s why his avg was 34% within this period. That’s not a narrative, that’s what he did according to the numbers.
That’s great. But you don’t speak for everyone. And I never said he’s brilliant. I said you have no basketball experience so your words have little weight when criticizing a professional coach and demeaning him as having “low iq”. But you are indeed entitled to your opinion.
Thanks for the content. I knew it but not to this degree. This is why Ive said.....YOU CAN NOT START REED!
FYI…..I got banned from thread posting for duplicating a similar topic. Of course you are probably fine since you haven’t posted anything negative about Stone like I did. Sadly, it appears the rules are not the same for everyone from the moderators of this site which takes away from its integrity.
