Reed gives Houston stability. I really wish he stayed, but he definitely made the best decision for himself.

Both of his patents have thick southern accent, but how come he doesn’t?

[@ryannath85]

You don't hear an accent when he talks? This is how most people in Kentucky talk btw. I sound similar (just learned I don't have a thick southern accent, cool). I wouldn't call his mom's Eastern Kentucky accent "southern" though, certainly not deep south. I would call it maybe Appalachian or a "mountain" accent. Also younger people in Kentucky and elsewhere don't have as much of an accent as the older people. His dad is from Georgia so his dad has a deep south accent. His mom is from eastern Kentucky so he has a mixture of accents.

It’s true. Take out food, what does Houston have to offer? Bayou? Traffic? Heat?

The lady in the back always cuts short player interviews, so annoying. Would've found more interesting things in Reed. There is disconnect with Players and Fans since Daryl Morey Chiina Tweet. A Former GM did something stupid not the player.
