[ClutchFans] Amen Thompson and Tari Eason dominated defensively. Again. “They were the separation factor,” said Ime Udoka.

1. Did not think Amen would come into his own so quickly.

2. Clippers broadcast called them “the Rockets’ two-headed defensive dragon.” They were going nuts over Amen in particular.

3. Those two are so fun to watch together. They just feed off each other

4. made a post the other day asking what the nickname for both of them should be when they are on the floor together…

   i loved “the stock brothers” or if can someone can play on words “rudAmenTari” that would be tough 😤

   but in other words, LOVE what these two do for the team. Love the spark they give off the bench (i think more teams should ideally spread out their talent in their rotations like that), but i wonder if Dillon Brooks gets benched for one of them eventually…

5. I’m actually so surprised by how much Amen’s jumper has improved. He genuinely looks like he could shoot 30%+ from behind the arc this season, and yes that may not sound very good but it’d be a huge improvement from last season. If he can eventually be a consistent 35% 3pt shooter he’d be insanely good.

6. amazing players, always loved Tari’s game but Amen coming this year even more advanced than him.

7. Watching Amen and Tari rip apart offenses together feels like having two young Kawhi Leonards.

8. playoffs this szn who says no?

9. The whole team defensive energy is different when both are on the court.
