With every passing day, Reed looks more and more like a gigantic bust

Way too early. Still not even halfway through his rookie season. 1-15 from the field and 1-10 from three over the last couple of games where he saw decent minutes...is ugly. No doubt. Just gotta get comfortable and shoot your way through it. Whole draft class has been below average as expected, but Reed is a good/needed addition for the team.

Well, he's not getting consistent playing time. I think he'll be fine. It's too early to give up on him. He's only what like 19 or 20?

Would likely get more PT if he could shoot. Maybe he is spending too much time with Green and the inability to shoot has rubbed off

Wow what a collapse so far

This has gotten much too interesting in the last 3-4 minutes.

Rockets down 1 now. Crapping the bed.

Choke city

Disgusting collapse

Worst loss of the season. Disgusting.

They got way to cocky and complacent up 13

Well that was a terrible finish

Every once in a while they remind you we have 5 key players 22 and younger

That meltdown was spectacular

Fred And green 11/31

Yeah tough loss last night. I'm sure coach will bury his foot in many of ass.

It's time.. Jalen Green has had long enough to become a plus player. We need to package and trade him for anything. He hurts us in every aspect.

20-9 hear run to end the 3rd qtr. rockets by 1

Because we have him that extension and enough time hasn't gone by by the end of the trade deadline?

Because of when his and Sengun's extensions were signed, neither can be traded until after the season.

There are a few players that signed extensions that are able to be traded Jan 15th and a couple that open up right before the trade deadline (like Lauri Markkanen.)

What another collapse.

Seems we've seen this scenario play out before...just a couple of days ago.

Another collapse

We need a leader on the court that can settle this team down when the tide turns. Van Vleet ain't the guy and the others are just young.

Refs got their panties all in a bundle.

Refs lost control of this one

Settle what down? The refs took over and Fred wasn't having it.

Loved amen saying f u to herro myself.

Way before that.

We were jacking up **** shots and were spiraling.

If it's not Fred then who? Not brooks not green not smith not amen. That leaves sengun?

Someone not on the team, unfortunately. DeAaron Fox would be my pick of the players rumored to potentially move, but I'd like to send green in that trade and we can't.

Amen, Tari, and Smith are the core and Sengun is great. Can throw him in that core too if you want, I'm just not sure if he fits the other three well. They're just all really young. Going to take a few years for them to grow.

I really like the team with Adam's out there.

Anyways, going to be growing pains like this for the rest of this season.

Fox and Heurter for FVV, Reed, and Cam plus picks works financially. Keeps the core together. Guessing even with Reed and Cam, they are going to want a ton of picks, though.

Another angle of the altercation.

And I don't want to give up either of those guys. I love Whitmore and I'm optimistic Reed can become a real player for us down the road.

I don't like trading rookies.
