    Reed is a star, just need his teammates to believe in him and pass him the ball.

    Why does Reed suck at FTs if he's a great shooter

    Imagine if we hadn't missed 7 FTs.

    Redd not being a 90% free throw shooter is so weird, man.

    When Reed is playing with swag, he’s a totally different beast. Ime needs to unleash this beast on a regular basis.

    Honestly, much respect to the team.

    Good on Ime keeping Reed in.
    Good on Bari actually hitting his open clutch shots.
    Good on Sengun and Amen not turning it over.
    Good on KD trusting these kids.

    Just good on the team actually playing hard and looking like a team, not sure why it took 3 quarters...but whatever.

    Chapenny started missing his shots when we actually guarded and contested his shots. Maybe the Rockets can learn that going forward? To stop leaving the hot shooter open?

    It's clear that Reed raises the ceiling to this team.

    We can continue to give him less than 30 mpg and watch the team struggle night in and night out...or we can give him 30mpg and watch the team ATTEMPT to grow.

    It really is that simple for me.

    Castle -11 in a game that they lead most of the time

    Reed +16 in a game they trail most of the time

    Impact metric in a nutshell.

    It’s an easy formula, get the ball out of amens hands and put it into reed’s and things will be ok but ime will never learn
