    Rockets is lucky to be down only by 2 with the way they have played.

    Lakers got Luke Kennard from ATL before this year's trade deadline. We could've done something similar. Another veteran shooter would've done wonders for this team.

    You know how much of a bummer it would be to see a woman break her neck mid court during halftime. Who is this for?

    Shaq is so annoying right now. Acts like he could care less about our game.

    Because team defense starts with covering for a single player that can't keep anyone in front of him. That's Reed.

    on the block? You mean on the wing? When he’s on the wing he can blow by players and get in the paint. The low block only draws doubles and traps

    that's not entirely true and you know it.

    There were one on one iso plays all first quarter that had nothing to do with sheppard and we were still ass

    Sheppard went to the bench and our defense actually gave up more points

    The +/- numbers etc back this up.

    You're just watching with Reed goggles
