Hornets up 20 on the Rockets. 

Houstin struggling a bit. They've played .500 ball (10-9 in last 19) for the last quarter of the season.

I haven't been following the Rockets.

I was curious how Reed Sheppard was doing since his start. Looks like he has cooled off considerably. He had a hot month in November but since then his shooting has fallen off.

Nov = 13gms 26mpg 15ppg 53% FG 47.5% 3PT 67% TS
Dec = 13gms 26mpg 13ppg 41% FG 39% 3PT 55% TS
Jan = 17gms 23mpg 11ppg 38.5% FG 33% 3PT 48% TS

Reed's TS% is now down to 54.5% for the season after being well above 60% early in the season.

What is nice in his stat line is his STL:TOV ratio. 1.4 steals per game to 1.2 turnovers. He creates more possessions for his team than he gives away. Add in blocks at 0.6bpg and you have 2 stocks per game vs 1.2 turnovers. That is great for a small guard.

3 assists to 1.2 turnovers. 2.5:1.0 AST:TOV ratio.

With A Reaves = 16 wins 8 losses (55 win pace)
Without A Reaves = 14 wins 11 losses (46 win pace)

With LeBron = 19 wins 13 losses (49 win pace)
Without LeBron = 11 wins 6 losses (53 win pace)

With Luka = 26 wins 15 losses (52 win pace)
Without Luka = 4 wins 4 losses (41 win pace)

Is that good?

Lebron will almost certainly not be a Laker next year.  Real question is, does he retire or does he do a retirement tour as a member of the Cavs ( or maybe Knicks, Heat, or Warriors).

That?s what people are saying.

Simons with a solid debut for the Bulls.  I watched a little bit.  I know it?s part of the gig and they get paid a pretty decent chunk of change to do it, but it?s got to be so weird to have your work change so radically and abruptly.  Then again, then the ball is the same and the court dimensions etc are the same.

The Dancing Bear had a good game too.  15/11 off the bench.

He?s so fun to watch.  Just has such a different shape than everything one else out there.

Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing. Conley was traded twice this week ? to Chicago, then to Charlotte ? before being released and allowed to rejoin the Wolves.
