    bro you’re on some serious juice. I loved harden when he was here but even I knew he was a playoff choker. Reed is not step curry. Trade his ass

    Realistically, Reed is still having a rough playoffs in terms of his shooting and defense. But he has definitely been better the last two games. And all of it does have to be taken in context of, 21-year-old who is still effectively a rookie in terms of playoff experience and not much more experienced than one even outside of that.

    With those things in mind, he look okay.

    That whole thing though, where he dribbles around in circles out past the top of the key for about 15 seconds and then hands it off to someone with about 4 seconds left on the shot clock. Then that poor guy has to frantically try to put up a shot as he is being swarmed by the opponents.

    That has to stop. Either get rid of the ball sooner, or build up the courage to get past your man and make something happen.

    1) who the heck is calling him Steph Curry?

    2) Reed's in his 1st full year being handicapped by Ime.
    Curry was in his 4th year before playing a single game in the playoffs and started 77 games in his rookie year.

    Can we trade your ass?

    Well, Ime tried to take away Reed's minutes and they got blown out. He bent to pressure and now the Rockets are starting to win games playing Reed the minutes he should have been playing all season. Funny how that works.

    I like Reed's game, though; rookies have to earn time. Reed was not effectively a rookie.
