This would be the worst choke job in HOU franchise history. Even worse than game 7 against GS

I mean if the game gets close, the Warriors starters don’t even deserve to come back in anyway the way they’ve performed

Coach should be demanding he runs the offense. All the other players just want to show out and it's down to 17.

My gosh man get Reed away from that team or it'll be another career ruined.

Reed stinks stop trolling


BS.

He's never been given an opportunity.

You know nothing about the guy.

You stop trolling.

I know he put up 4.4 PPG on 46.5 TS%, maybe stop acting like a scrub is any good

Is there anyone on this houston team that is fun to watch? Is crackhead Jokic really as good as it getS?

I mean - Vecenie thinks he could be all rookie team if he was on a bad team. Difference of opinion doesn’t mean trolling

Ime clearly conceded this game by benching star guard Reed Sheppard

Even a guy like Spencer gets a real opportunity.

While Houston's dumb ass coach and organization gave Reed next to nothing all year as a 3rd pick.

Disgusting.

He learned under Phil who would ride the bench in situations like this.

They've been exposed. Playoff Jimmy is a myth. Steph was carried by KD. LeBron would have scored 40 in this game.

You probably had the same take saying the Nuggets are done when the Clippers blew them out in Game 3. LOL.
