  • Went to first game of season last night. Good times. Reed Sheppard seems kinda dumb. Holiday needs more minutes still. KD "off" night and still drilled 2 of the biggest shots As we all know..

  • Went tonight. Good to pull that one out...tough win.

Probably the most down on the Rockets podcast. And the shit rolls uphill at the Ringer.Verno is butthurt the Rockets got a bonafide star and Memphis couldn’t during their rise. 

Hoops Collective is very bullish on the Rockets.

It's starting to click for Sheppard. Watching his teammates all fired up and rallying around him (led by KD) after good plays is awesome. They all know how great this team can be with Reed playing a big part.

Lets. Fucking. Go.

You can hear KD on the court mic celebrating when Reed decided to drive for the layup. Love it. 

Reed for Speed on the run ⛹️‍♂️💨KD was HYPE 🗣️

West Group C is the only group for the NBA Cup where every team is 1-1 

#515

They smoked a good Blazers team, and maybe took a step forward in getting the Stay Ready Crew paid. Grand prize for NBA Cup is $500k. That’s a big deal for about half the team. 
 

I’m cautiously optimistic on Reed’s defense. I’d like see him against some really good guards again, but he’s certainly progressing. Cavs, Nuggets, and Warriors will be good tests. 
 

I’d shoot no hesitation too if Ime and Amen threatened to beat the shit out of me if I passed on an open look.

Tari Eason has a strained oblique and will be out 4-6 weeks, per head coach Ime Udoka.

 

#517

With Eason out, Dorian Finney-Smith can't return from injury soon enough.

The Rockets will be fine. Keep giving end of the bench players run versus lesser opponents like the Blazers yesterday to ensure legs stay fresh. More Clint Capela please.

#519

Getting hurt on the play he got hurt on seems like some pussy shit man

Play seemed like nothing. This sucks

Oh boy. Lots of Tate incoming. 

That's ok. Tate doesn't need the ball and he hustles his ass off.

#523

I think Tate is fine as the 12th guy on your bench, and they’re not paying him much. But if you ask him to play 10+ minutes a game, it’s a problem. 
 

They’re going to really miss Tari’s scoring. He and Reed were nice 1-2 punch off the bench. Get well soon. 

#524

They played Holiday and Reed together a decent amount last night it seeemed....hoping we just try that. Then again I'm a Holiday pumper so who knows. Small lineup running both them.

I think Davison is a better scorer, but man he’s looked uneven in the regular season, and Holiday is a better defender of course.

The DFS injury is baffling and reminds me of some of the Astros bullshit. No updates, no timeline, no practice reports, and I don’t think he’s talked to a reporter since media day. 

#527

The Magic are hot. Won 5 of their last 7 and playing a lot better on offense. Should be a good game this evening. 
 

edit* Banchero is probably not going to play.

Reed is balling. Working on my open letter apology. 
 
Jabari’s face on the slo mo replay was great. 

Reed would be #2 or #3 in the redraft. Definitely not a bad pick.
#535

Pretty good 3Q. Orlando is playing well.

Need more from Amen in the 4th. 

#536

I actually like Reed being aggressive there but this is going to be a dumb flagrant 1.

That was a bitch move. 

Oh for sure I'm saying I liked the way he went at the rim and tried to make a play. The tripping afterwards is fucking dumb.

#539

Durant attacking his opponents' weak spots a little too literally. 

#547

Holy fucking shit lmao.

Way to redeem yourself Alpie.

Just now, perfectchaos007 said:

They reviewed Reed Shephards tripping, but didn't review Durant getting tripped?

Yeah that could have easily been a whistle.

#549

Holy shit these Orlando announcers.

"I'm not sure he got it off in time"

(watch replay)

"Well they need to put time back on the clock"
