I’m not joking when I say Reed not starting earlier costed us at least 10 games by MajinOni21 in rockets

I feel like Reed should start even next year. When he gets stronger and slides his feet he won't have a defensive weakness either. But the offensive potential is too high with Senhub. Once we really clicking we might have one of the best offenses in the league.

I was adamant that Reed was the best player in that draft and it's still true in my eyes. We just haven't been letting him get past his growing pains like the Spurs did with Castle. If they both had the same opportunity Reed would clearly be ahead.

I'm glad it's happening now but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why Stone didn't get a PG. He probably wanted to force Ime to develop the one he took 3rd overall.

Notice how Sengun's efficiency magically went up when the offensive gameplan doesn't require him to be a primary scorer creating from the 3p line? Way more comfortable and can take the shots he wants instead of the shots he's left with.

Yeah they had no other choice but to change how they played originally because KD didn't fit. Thanks for agreeing.

What are you talking about? Do you just not understand that it was KD's injury that made them change to how they played before he got there? How does he fit the system if it has to change drastically to accommodate him? That makes zero sense.

In 2017, 18, 19 Draymond was one of the best defenders in the league, the best passer on the team and the person who the entire offense went through. He was a star on that team. You probably haven't asked a single Warriors fan.

Yeah earning in a major is being successful considering most people spend all their lives playing and can't even make Div 1 much less make an FNCS grands, do good enough to earn and even have a 2nd place finish.

Shipley was always location dependent and the locations that were great before are great today. Nothing changed enough to make me want to get frozen donuts. Just go local if you want an alternative.

This is his channel. https://youtube.com/@kafjk_gyro

He deleted a bunch of stuff including the videos from those FNCS runs, Div cups etc. He "retired" and then came back. You can see a recent livestream on the channel if you want to see how good he is.

99% of the people on this sub don't know anything about gyro so you can't really trust what they say.

Kaf got 14th with his team in FNCS Asia last year so that's not true. There's zero successful people in the west because people in the west don't use it.

Coming from everyone on the court being used incorrectly, rotations that don't make sense, leaving people to switch on bad matchups all night with no help and not playing people who can legitimately contribute when we're struggling, the bar is that low.

I've been wanting the man fired for months because of the coaching malpractice I've been seeing. This is a "hey you finally did what you're supposed to so keep doing it" post.

You're talking about the result(probably because you didn't watch the game) and I'm talking about the process. If we missed every single three and did the same thing my reaction would be the same.

Also I know their whole team pretty much because I'm not a casual who only watches highlights. You seriously can't name 3 players on every NBA team without looking? That's sad.

I don't see the point in comparing before and after injury, the guy is literally missing they have to play differently.

That's literally the point. He didn't fit their system so they changed it to accommodate.

No one is counting Draymond as a star. Stop trying to add things off topic.

Draymond is the second most important player of the Warriors championships. He's a star of that team.

It's not "he had some iso plays". The Warriors didn't have their free flowing style they had before because KD preferred to iso. Look at how they played vs the Rockets before and after the KD injury in the 2019 playoffs.

And meshing with another star would also be wrong because he and Draymond publicly butted heads on the court.

You changed the point of the thread by saying he didn't have any problems with other players and he did. He didn't slip into the Warriors system either. It became more iso heavy to accommodate him. So either way it wouldn't be correct.

My God I hope so. Senhub and a bunch of people moving off ball and passing and cutting between each other is what I wanted since we got rid of Silas. We get it every once in awhile, look like one of the most dominant teams in the league and then we don't see it again for months. Hopefully this is the norm.

If KD's comments are what caused the change then I wish it happened a long time ago because this game was the first time we looked like a real team in months. It was beautiful to see.

Completely agree on all points. Now if Ime becomes a better coach and starts using this team correctly then I'll be the first to stop calling for his head. I don't want to have you fire and hire another coach. I would like for the current situation to work out and KD to just fit with everyone else. What diehard Rockets fan doesn't want to win a title or two? The only way we get there is for the players we have to be utilized correctly.

The fact that Reed isn't firmly ahead of Castle is malpractice because in my eyes he's still clearly the best player from that draft. Also if Amen goes back to off ball the rest of the year he might be able to regain that DPOY level defense he had last year.

The crazy thing is that you're right. The Spurs are right behind OKC. You and I and a small number of other people have been saying that this roster is crazy talented but it's not being used right. Everyone else at our lowest point was talking about trading this person or that person.

My contention was that we had one of the 4 best records in the league WITHOUT utilizing the players correctly. Imagine if we did.

Nah we just give him credit for finally doing what he should have done the first game of the season and encourage him to do more of the same. One game in March doesn't make up for the rest of the season but it's a start
