43 comments

1. Go Rockets

2. Terror Twins

3. Block party!

4. My favorite defensive play is Sengun's last block. It was brutal.

5. Trade for Ausar and make Terror Triplets of the Toyota Center

6. Amen's shooting stroke is world's better than last year. Kid is going to be one of the best players in the league in a few years.

7. Tari and Amen are amazing but we will need proper offensive sets in the future.

8. It's time to shake up the starting lineup. I mean come on, its so evident.

9. Alpi's block was a monster that will never be forgotten.

10. Jabari was the weakest link in the chain.

11. Amenitentiary!!!

12. Every team knows that Rockets cannot shoot from distance so they packed the paint to make Sengun's job difficult. So the Rockets guards should always be ready to shoot well.

13. Hello and servus…. Goo 🚀🚀🚀🚀

14. Sengun and Tari's chemistry has always been great.

15. They need more to be consistent!!! every each games

16. Jabari cant shoot or defend really no reason for him to start

17. Houston needs a consistent shooter and the trade is inevitable if Houston wants to semi-final. Alperen should play more than 35 min. Ime should start with Eason instead of Jabari.

18. It looks bad for Jabari I hope he can turn it around because if he can get his shot going we are a much deadlier team

19. I think this is brooks his last season with the rockets

20. Jabari is that guy who in warmups you're like damn he's gonna cook. Then in the game he 2 steps behind. He has a shot from mid, his form looks good but he doesn't have great IQ. He consistently passes when he should shoot. Shoots when he should pass, dribbles when he should pass or shoot. Drives when he should shoot. Doesn't have any goto moves in the half court or in transition. Jabari needs to sit in a dark film room and watch Kevin garnett highlight reels over and over and over and over. Until he can't help but look like mini KG. Jabari doesn't have the IQ and moves thats what's holding him back are multiple moves and most importantly when they'll be effective. He's in his head too much but then when he plays loose he turns it over from a bad decision. He reminds me of Jalen from a couple years ago. Just inept at IQ. Also, he's got no hops. I can't tell you how many times he should have had board then into a hop power dribble into a reverse two hander slam and one rim wrecker. But instead he stay right in traffic goes back up with 2 or 3 defenders around him and tries a softy lay for a block or a terrible miss then maybe an even worse looking tap back. Its like dude you're 611 dunk the effing ball. Get a fadeaway j. If you see the shot clock winding down fro. 4 secs come off the 3 pt line and go for position for the oboard. When you see a guy run out at you be ready for your first step to be towards the basket and if there's a whole bunch happening in there right into a dribble pull up middy. If only Jabari had a basketball brain. Like if I could take kobes brain and put it in Jabaris body he would instantly be the best player on the team and go for 25 every night. Its the IQ. The tangible are there other than his hops.

21. Alperen's block on Zubac is one of the best in the whole NBA history.

22. Van fleet sit Jabari sit

    Amen stand Eason stand

23. I'm happy to see Amen's big improvement and Tari as well. Sad that Cam Whitmore is out of the Houston roster.

24. This hussle won't work against disciplined or quality teams. Rockets need offence and offence need good shooting except for Center.

    Player: 2P%/3P%
    Jabari: 18/25
    Jalen:33/36
    Fred: 32/28
    Reed: 25/0

    Alperen: 43/50 (But he is a center)
    Tari: 57/0
    Jock: 100/- (Played with +26)
    Dillon: 55/67 (Looks like he was the hot hand together with being the primary defender)

    I know Fred is the brain, Jalen draws attension, Reed is rookie, Jabari has some ego damage … It's a win, but people need to see quality of team more than how they hussle and win the game by inches. On playoffs everyone will be hussling.

25. Amen dropping corner 3s (which put him ahead of Jabari in %, sorry Bro) Ime tuned up Jocks motor. now he needs to find him a decent barber! lol
    It might get a little chippy in the next one.

26. It is amazing that without shooting can a team win in NBA.

27. Selamun aleyküm kardeşlerim ,
    Bir Türk olarak şunu söylemem gerekirse maçın momentumunu Houston 'a getiren iki oyuncu vardı Amen ve Tari. Bu ikili kesinlikle savunma lideri , diğer oyuncuları hucuma iten oyuncular kesinlikle jalen ve Alperenide oyuna dahil ediyorlar , Reed ve Cam de bu takıma bir şekilde dahil olursa Houston canavar gibi bir takım olacak , koç Alpereni erken çıkarıyor 1 periyotta , benim anladığım yönetime mesaj veriyor sanırım , Alperenin yerine Antete kumpo gibi bir oyuncu mesajı veriyor maalesef 😢

28. I’m still big on Jabari i believe in this man I know he will get this fixed last season he played with a lot of improvement he has played solid defensively but just can’t get that shot down and he is in his damn head to much but he will be okay I know he will get that shot to go down but i can’t lie his offsets on shooting is really killing us

29. It’s not a weird night for Fred, this is who Fred has been this season. Inefficient offensive player. He’s been so inefficient that even what he brings to the team is not worth him starting or keeping him long term. Thank God his contract ends this season. He’s definitely showing signs of decline.

30. Again I don’t agree with you about Jock Landale, he’s been a good back up. Adams is cooked he should retire, dude can’t even move around…looks stiff as hell.

31. Amen plays 35+ every night instead of Fleet and he will have 10 triple doubles by years end… keep him sitting Ime👌briiliant

32. We're so lucky we have Tari and Amen but mostly Tari. Also, Jalen is like "playing" the game. I see that he's not that serious. Maybe coz he knows he will be paid. But i hope he plays seriously sooner. Watching the game, JG's read on the game is good. When he doesn't give up turnovers then it's better. If he's making shots, it's great. But damn we really have no elite shooting. Our defense and tenacity is carrying us. Go Rockets 🚀

33. I hope they keep Amen and tari Easton.

34. Would yall consider trading bari for brook Lopez and a first rounder?

35. We’ll wait for Jabari’s performance to return because Houston needs him. There are very few NBA players who, despite being picked third, are humble enough to accept a support role for the team. Everyone knows his potential, and those who don’t, should!

36. The whole league trying to send old players for our young player jwe need stop trying to get rid of everyone

37. Go Rockets

38. Go look at plus/minus Thomson +17,Eason +19,landale +26. Green/van fleet minus 10 and Sengun minus 18.

39. Bari aint that guy, hes too mentally weak. Always caught up in his own head rather than just playing in a flow state.

40. PETITION TO CALL THEM THE WING STOP COMBO

41. Locked on Alperen..❤..

42. i like separation factor more than terror twins

43. Good game! I was there.
