Houston Rockets Vs. Spurs, Jalen Green Offball Masterclass and Alperen Sengun the Foul Merchant!!

22 comments

1. Jalen under the right conditions is lethal: an opponent with weak center and bad perimeter defense.

   I think we should transition him to bench to maximize his efficiency. He punishes the opponent when they are weaker from the perimeter with quick shots.

2. the rockets ceiling is so dependent on how good jalen can be, let’s hope this is the year

3. I disagree with you Jalen being a ball dominant guard. I think we have enough data to prove he's better when he acts as an finisher.

4. Rockets are so garbage ngl

5. I love it when Amen and Reed doesn't back down from physical struggle with big guys.

6. Hello from Türkiye l like your analysis

7. I would be very happy for the Rockets if they manage to WIN at least one play-off game this year.

8. Great podcasts btw.

   This guy and locked on rockets are my go to sources for rockets analysis.

   Keep up the great work

9. What stats guarantee Jalen extension in your eyes and keeps this roster together ?

10. If Green can be more Curry and less Kyrie. He's going to be elite. Green off-ball scoring ability is key.

11. I 100% agree with comments on Jalen Green needs to be pure a SG off the ball. He will drop 25pts every game, and much more effective. Plus… Reed is looking great as a PG, he has nice handles and smooth. He just has to learn from Fred on how to guide the offense and call plays better.

12. I mean jock was going off at the end of the year with Jalen

13. If Jalen became the free throw merchant and Alpi became the off ball shooter I’d be less surprised. 😅

    That’s just insane if sustained.

14. I definitely agree with you that to me that's the core. Jalen, amen, Reed Shepherd and ALP. Shepherd and Jalen are your perimeter shot creators amen plays the Draymond role of being a Swiss army knife Anders secondary playmaker and ALP is the sinner you run the offense through.

15. All roads lead to Rome with you huh? No matter how well Jalen plays, you don't want him sharing the court with Alpi. It's obvious.

16. Jalen looked great against Pelicans, Utah and Spurs. Steven Adams also helps Jalen with space. But against to be fair a top defense OKC he was 3-12 fg and 3-9 on 3s. Like you've said Frank he needs a bag for the tougher teams. Can he get a counter or two this season? Still an improvement if he can dominate against weaker defenses. There is still hope he can develop a bag. He really needs to do that this season. I am glad he is looking much better to start.

17. On a night when Jalen would likely struggle if Reed could take it over from him, it terms off ball shooting that would be so cool. And in a night where both get really hot with Alpi cooking as well, teams are gonna be destroyed.

18. Simply the best Rockets content!

19. So what I’m seeing/hearing we potentially got a young Kobe/Pau Gasol duo brewing 😎😂

20. START THE SEASON!! 😀

21. I really think Jalen can sustain a 38-40+% 3 point percentage for a season. It looks that smooth, comfortable, and confident than it was in his first couple of seasons

22. When Alpi checked out for the last time, all of the coaches were smiling and congragulating him. I believe this foul merchant thing was a deliberate attempt to maybe mold him closer to Embiid as you alluded to a couple of times. They seemed so proud of him and it excited the hell out of me, ngl.
