    Welp, Reaves is a playoff choker and he's already made an impact.

    I'm confused as to why Okogie is not playing despite playing well last game and DFS is playing who has played terribly.

    Reeves will single handedly beat us. It’s going to be bittersweet. We need lots of changes. And it starts with having players who can dribble, and shoot. And a new coach.

    This is spiraling out of control quickly. Rockets can’t score.

    Glad Amen made that 3, but this offensive approach is terrible. U don’t want him taking that shot. Hate how we are playing
