I think it’s time to start talking about Reed Sheppard … I know he is a rookie but god damn. He has been given plenty of chances but doesn’t captivate capitalized them. It’s getting worrying for the rookie

He’s not been able to play much at all. Fred LOCKS down the minutes because he’s the best PG the team has , by a mile.
Reed isn’t even a PG (yet) so he has a ways to go. I think Reed needs to build his confidence in the G-league as the starting PG there
He can take what he’s learned from Fred and do some work there.

2:10 what a play by Jalen Green. With the passing and Cam with the finish

Cam deserves to cut into Brooks’ minutes.

Dillon Brooks has been an incredibly bright spot on this team all season long. A bunch of our big wins against the actual good teams have come because of him.
@VincentPaulFlo
December 27, 2024 at 1:16 am
@cheyenne11114 I feel you. I was at the game we won against the thunder earlier in the year, and Brooks played really well! I just want whitmore to get more minutes because his potential is so great that I want him to be incorporated into our team long-term, eventually becoming a starter. If Cam becomes part of a trade package for Fox or Booker in the off-season because we didn’t work him into our regular rotation, then I’d be kind of disappointed in the front office’s/ coaching staff’s decision making.

Jabari needs to be traded. He can’t just keep sitting out in the perimeter
@cheyenne11114
December 27, 2024 at 1:10 am
Whoever you bring back has to be as defensively versatile as him. You do not notice in the stat sheet that he makes up for a lot of what sengun can’t do in terms of recovery and rim protection. Kind of like Aaron Gordon does for Joker. He is the only guy on the team that can do that. I believe he is going to be traded but the defense will take a step back because of it.

@MrJuandiego1988 We both been watching the games. I just don’t think you know what you’re watching. Again , jabari has not lived up to expectations as the number three over all pic pic, But he Is definitely aaron gordon 2.0 as far as versatile defense next to a limited rcovery/rim protector is concerned.

The way Jalen Green split the defense at 2:11 was just nasty. And Amen Thompson is a star in the making. So much young talent on this Rockets team.

All my Rockets went awwff. Good day, but what is going on with Reed man?! Dude can’t make shit all of a sudden. And I’m hoping Ime and the GM got some plans for Jock Landale cuz that boy is straight ass juice. Just one big goofy incapable body. Can’t catch, can’t shoot, can’t pass, can’t play D, just useless. Definitely should’ve picked Clingan to back up AP.
