I’m convinced people don’t understand bball. Reed isn’t only there to score. He gives us proper spacing and teams actually defend him. It opens things up for KD Amen and Sengun. He’s also a good passer. Udoka’s only calculus is defense: Outhustle opponents and don’t let them score and we will win. Guess what - predictably fails every time when the opponents go on even a slight bit of a heater.
Jackson Gatlin@JTGatlin
This is the context people miss with Reed. Even when Reed is "off" he still provides spacing and handling, which opens things up for Durant and Sengun.

The Rockets have nobody who can both shoot and dribble inside the arc to capitalize behind the doubles of KD and it's completely killing their offense
English
Ime separating Reed and Alpi but attaching Capela and Okogie to each other 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
English
Rockets just have to find a way to poke at the switch and switch and double. Reason the Lakers are doing it is to *not* give this up.
Kevin Durant/Sengun pick and roll, Hayes at the level which puts two on the ball. Sengun catches on the short roll and finishes.
English
@aiwithq This is fair, I wouldn’t guard Okogie either. but Ime doesn’t have to play him. But with Okogie is in the lineup who has he stopped? Luke and smart have gone off both games so where is the advantage, Reed isn’t the best defender but Okogie isn’t stopping anyone
English
Against a non Rockets team, no Luke Kennard can’t guard
but against this Rockets team, he can lol
it’s easy to guard when all you have to do is let ppl shoot and pack the paint
& they do when they play for us because of how Stone built this roster, with that dumbass “we’ll beat teams by defending and out rebounding them and getting second chance points” strategy
English
One of the few positives I have for this series is the defense Tari has played on LeBron.
Bron is 5/15 from the field this series when guarded by Tari… Glue him to Bron from here on out.
I’d start Reed (I highly doubt Udoka does), but throw in Tari over Okogie if not.
English
@RooshWilliams 😂😂😂😂😂 was DNP majority of the year is now playing over Reed and holiday when we desperately need shooting

Reed Sheppard subbed in with the rest of the starters and the Rockets immediately went on a 9-0 run in the 2Q to get back in the game. And then Ime Udoka never went back to that lineup for the remainder of the game. His stubbornness and inability to adjust is losing the series.

Houston’s lineups this postseason with their 4 starters Amen, KD, Jabari, and Şengün: Okogie: -4 in 12 minutes (23-27) Reed: +9 in 2 minutes (9-0) Tari: -3 in 5 minutes (12-15) Let’s see if the obvious decision to play their best offensive lineup extended minutes is made.
English
@aiwithq Can luke kennard guard? Why does every player that plays have to be an all world defender to play for us lol luke and smart are literally frying us yet Reed playing 10 minutes so who is actually guarding lol like I don’t get it
English
@joebdguy Which shooters are you talking about? Reed and Aaron?
They stink lol they can’t guard at all
so if they missing, we might as well have a non shooter out there to at least get stops and second chance points of the inevitable bricks being thrown up, but it’s all bad either way
English
@KDaboiku lol imagine if one those guys was Reed or holiday, Şengün still has to fake out the defender to draw him to Okogie to free up Jabari lol
English
2 guys cutting to the rim because neither can shoot and still get an open brick out of it
Steve Jones@stevejones20
Rockets go with a pindown for Kevin Durant to get Kennard to switch. Sengun looks to get middle but Ayton hits, Bron holds and they recover. Drive and kick to KD/Sengun P&R, opens the roll for Sengun. More help and a skip to Jabari for 3. Flow and movement key.
English
@stevejones20 @St012Mi Wouldn’t it be lovely if one of those options was Reed or holiday at the 3 point line for spacing purposes …. Everybody cutting to the paint but Jabari lol
English
@St012Mi that arrow to the left is a cut that opens that skip pass because it holds the defense

@BradeauxNBA 2 minutes is wild Lmboo this was a whole starting lineup for a recent stretch to close the year

@RooshWilliams @JTGatlin @BradeauxNBA I can’t believe we’re still having this discussion in game 84 of the season one of the most frustrating things I’ve seen a team do
English
@JTGatlin @BradeauxNBA What was the lineup data with the starters + Reed instead of Okogie?

Steven Adams Stats@funakistats
Reed Sheppard doesn’t even need to be making shots to give the Rockets what they are missing… Rockets’ offense this series with Reed… On court 108 OffRtg Off court 98 OffRtg That’s the team’s second best offensive rating behind KD Brings gravity and spacing vs a sagging defense. His ball handling lets KD get off-ball and he’s literally the only pick n roll ball handler option on the squad
English
How many turnovers was on KD here yall?
English
@AdamInHTownTX @RedNinetyFour I’m hoping this gets him canned we will never and I mean never win with him he has the worst tunnel vision possible regarding personnel and rotations
English
@RedNinetyFour You'd think even a high school level coach would've learned very early on that you never play lineups with 3 or more guys who can't hit a jumper or dribble the ball. Yet Ime keeps doing it even when it NEVER works.
English
Ime assesses units as a collective on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, he assesses players as individual pieces. Case in point: he doesn’t want to play two weak defenders together. But then you have absolutely puke worthy lineups like Amen and Tate together, and Reed doesn’t play unless he’s hitting shots. Ime doesn’t see the value to a unit from having spacing and ball handling. That Reed/Amen/Bari/KD/Sengun unit went on the 9-0 run to get us back in the game and was never seen again, predictably. It’s been the same story all season. This is Stone Age 90s level thinking.
English
@johndoe02112024 @Biggz_91 Sengun barely turned his head before LeBron was in his face, but ok 6 instead of 9 still bad
