    The only thing that comes to mind is that he's dating the coach's daughter.

    ime was one of the assistant coach in brooklyn so KD knows what to expect of Ime

    KD definitely didn't expect to be the engine of this offense though.

    no consistency, if only he let him play through the mistakes those other games

    I actualy didn't mind rreed missing, he was being aggressive. Aggresive and shooting will always even out

    Its when he is scared to shoot like he did the prior 2 weeks

    We're not getting very far without Reed, he unlocks the rest of the team this season, so the only rational thing is to play him consistent 30mpg at least. The development of Reed should be a priority of this team just like every other top 5 pick we've had.

    Embiid has no intent on shooting anything. He just rips through and gets a foul call.

    We knew Ime was going to punish Reed for having a good game and saving the team against San Antonio.

    Shouldn't come as a shock

    In the refs ass to be honest. I'd pay so much money to have the NBA stop calling offensive player initiated contact as defensive fouls. That **** would never fly at the park, why is it in the NBA

    Not the spirit of basketball, not the spirit of ITA

    Agreed

    my observation was this:

    Philly knows it and defended him as close as they were Durant

    Dude didn't have any space and just isn't at the point where he can step back etc. Our team also doesn't do a good job of running screens they think he's going to Iso for a fadeaway 3

    So I'm skeptical about Reed this game because Philly and Nurse figured out the rockets don't really try to get Reed going or get him looks
