COMMENT: Who are your early Rockets standouts through two preseason games?
Reed's running layup shot from yesterday is a proof of his greatness. He briefly slowed down for the defender to make a decision, and changed his direction accordingly. It was too quick!
It is amazing that both Reed and Sengun can manipulate their opponents behavior, but I have to admit that they are not on the same level yet. Sengun plays with the other players like a cat plays with a mouse.
Go Rockets!!!
Thompson gives me KAWHI VIBES…I’m talking SAN ANTONIO KAWHI THO🤔
Im excited for Amen and Reed and Cam all of our young core. So excited for this season. Go Rockets.
Lets go. Excited for season. 🎉
that was nice man 🙂
Reed looks like he is way more confident and aware of things happening around him compared to a usual rookie, i sense a different feeling that he is more than an average rookie we see everyday.
Let the flamingo live!
