    I still think it's crazy that y'all don't get everything on LP but we do overseas. I should've done it this season really, but next season I'm happy to let someone see if a VPN will let them use one of the devices on my LP premium, I literally only watch on one device and I'm pretty sure I get up to 3 to play it on.

    Yeah, I'm guessing Ime is giving this starting five a go right before the playoffs to see if he wants to go back to it. It was pretty effective earlier in the season. Okogie and the Core Four are I think 16-8 this season. And Okogie overall is 20-9 as a starter.

    If Ime is hellbent on not starting Reed, this at least is a good compromise. The one thing he CANNOT ever do is go back to starting Tari with the Core Four. And if he does stick with Okogie as a starter, please don't relegate Aaron to DNPs again. Give him at least 5-10 minutes a game.

    One of Ike’s problems every season he’s been in the league is that he doesn’t let a lineup gain chemistry. Keeps tinkering. We’re 3 games from the playoffs and now he decides to bring Okogie back into it. Kept Tari too long. Never tried benching Bari despite trying a million lineups. He said they’re going to start Reed for 5-6 games but he had to mess with that.

    Just let the lineup gain chemistry man, ****.

    Oh ok, so coming into next season we'll test it. I can get every single game live (actually, you can play 4 games consecutively in the same window if they're on at the same time) so if a VPN makes it useable for you to use one of the devices on my account we'll sort it out and you should have no problem.

    At least he's going back to a lineup that started together nearly a third of the season. And if this means more minutes for Josh and fewer for Tari and Jae'Sean, that's an added bonus.

    I don't think people understand how dogshit of a person the rockets coach is

    When they were losing he said he's actually concentrating on development (obviously referring to reed) simply to use it as an excuse

    Now when they win (mostly because he has been in the starters), he does whatever he can to avoid playing him. Minutes cut down the last 2 games, beat out by even Aaron Holiday.

    The team I have been rooting for has been hijacked by a race supremacist sexual harraser basketball terrorist

    were on the cusp of the post season, stop with the constant cover.

    This dude could take a sschit on the court and you guys would be crying about how its a new defensive scheme
