And I want to see how the Rockets and Alperin and I guess Clint and more importantly, the wing lineups.

I want to see how they handle two bigs and two impressive bigs.

The Rockets are going to have to face some combo of what?

Lemby, Nikola, Chet and Hartenstein in the playoffs.

So the more kind of reps they get against good, impressive centers, especially duos, I think that's pretty important for Houston.

So I'm going to watch out for that on Saturday for sure.

Yeah, ABC.

First off, that was just...

Imei's little smile after the event was fantastic.

And it wasn't a decision I endorsed, but after some success in OKC, it was worth asking.

Okay, I'm done defending myself.

He's great.

You know, Imei, he tells it like it is.

I like that.

Moreover, I think with Reed, the thing is, I just want to see them let him play through the mistakes and the errors and the frustrations where he's swiping or getting bowled over because I still don't think there's Rockets lineups that are going to win multiple playoff series without like one or two little Reed eruptions in April and May.

And if he's buried in the rotation and sharing minutes with JD Davison or just, you know, out for Jay Sean Tate,

That's not enough firepower.

They need Reed Shepard to have some spurts and some big games.

I know he's a frustrating player, but they took him with 10 for 4 overall pick, right?

And I think there is legitimate offensive talent there.
