The fact that they are getting to the point where Reed Shepard is their starting point guard.
He's been really exciting to watch over the last couple weeks.
We've talked about it on this podcast, but it just feels like he's coming to his own confidence-wise.
He's not afraid to shoot it.
The screening ability of Steven Adams and Alper and Shangoon has really opened up his off the dribble game and off the bounce game.
I think, you know, he's like, they, they won't go as far as Reed Shepard takes them, but he is definitely a difference maker and an X factor for them to their end goals this season, because we don't know if Fred VanVleet is going to come back.
We don't know if he'll be there for the playoffs, but if Reed Shepard is this, they have a,
a nice supplementary player to provide exactly what he brings on the court.
So that's the thing I'm looking for.
along with KD and Shangoon, really pressure this Lakers defense, which, by the way, Lakers, for how good they've been offensively, have been bad defensively.
This is like a one-sided basketball team, and the Rockets are much more than that.
They know how to score.
They obviously are very good defensively.
I just I'm very curious to see how the Lakers try and guard this team if they can at all.
How many times have LeBron and KD played on Christmas together?
