Senhub is finally back we been wanting this for years but Slias didnโt want to or had no idea how to use Sengun and Ime was using him for post ups and on the elbow.
Using Sengun to run the offense at the top of the key is perfect because if guys are cutting he can fine them with his passing and if guys double him he can find guys at the perimeter for the wide open three and obviously he can get his own shots.
Ime is using Sengun skillsets and taking advantage of the athletic guys we have on this team and itโs great to see.
If Ime continues to use Senhub so to speak our offense is going to be so deadly
S/O to Dr. Moore for dubbing the Terror Twins nickname
I've been saying we should use this offense with Sengun for 4 years. I'm glad the FO and Ime are finally buying in.
Go Rockets!
Glad we beating the easy teams now so we donโt have to try as hard later in the season
Time to trade all our young stars while their value is high. Perhaps we can trade Smith or Eason several first round picks for an over the hill Butler, George, or Durant.
No Doubt, Houston is good team and worth for watching. The chemistry of our starter five is strong but our second team still lacks of confidence and rigid team play, depends on individual performances hope Ime will find solution immediately cause Houston is ready to take off .
Reed had a heat check moment also. His shot is coming along.
Good to see the Rockets fans are feeling good, for yall that almost hit the panic button and was coming For Ime Udoka.. Smh shame on Y'all for real.. Rockets ๐ Strong, trust the foundation building of a formitable team and Culture thag could last for years to come and Not what we had before in the Harden era where we had great moment but only 1 chance we had to actually win the Chip and because we didnt build the right foundation Then and Culture everything fell apart because we havent had that in a Long time and Now we are actually doin it smart.. So true rockets fans just be patient and stay the course..
Shout out to that sweet Rockets ๐ Hawaiian ๐ Jackson also glad Ime finally using Jabari's size easy shots by the basket ๐งบ and being involved down in the paint
Criticism is easy when things dont go well. I thing its very good time to talk about team's problems which still stay out there. Rockets need a star player and hierarchy just like any other nba teams. if they want to make their own star then choose one of them and play trough him! One way or another rockets has to decide. This sh1t cant go on forever.
I love seeing them play as a team… Go Rockets!!!
Go ๐ Rockets ๐
if jabari turns into porter jr, amen into aaron gordon and tari into murrey, trade green and brooks for solid piece, championship might be on the horizon. ofc alpi in the center as like jokic
Great pod Jackson. remenber when I told you the Rockets would win 50 games this year? that prediction not sounding so crazy now is it? this team is taking a leap overall. remember when I said we are going to open some eyes this year? this is why I wanted us to STAY THE COURSE with this young team during the off season. teams that made all the splashy moves during the off season not liking the results so far. the best part is we are still growing we haven't even deployed all our weapons yet. Cam will play his part this season also. buckle up because we just getting warmed up. GO ROCKETS!
Rockets are unpredictable. Other teams will have a hard time scouting. They never know who will have a hot hand.
They are becoming a very dangerous team.
Sengun will have a lot more triple doubles if Jalen, Jabari & FVV shoot like Steph Curry & Buddy Hield
Last season Rockets lost their first three games then won their next six games. Gatlin said and I quote, "I don't think we will ever lose again"

โI donโt think the rockets won 5 straight games since James Hardenโ
March?
First 6 wins of last season?
Gary Bird?
Jalenโs mentality is shifting as he realizes he needs to impact the game beyond just scoring. However, team play doesnโt come naturally to him. Growing up as the star, always being told heโs the best, and taking all the shots made adjusting to an NBA playoff contender tough. Last night, we saw smart, beautiful basketball, and Jalen looked average, not like a $35 million player. Letโs focus on the process, but no player should hold us back this season.
Bill Simmons said Terror Twins during an ad read on a recent podcast.
Vamos foguetes buscar o mando de quadra ๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ง๐ทโฌ๐ฅโฌ
How about Alpi pulling the chair om Vuc. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Now lets trade for giannis after the rockets win tonight
Go Rockets
All of a sudden the lack of three point shooting doesn't seem to matter anymore.
We are so back lol!
Great job of the staff, self scouting…I wonder if they're listening to you. lol That's the Senhub.
Prediction Alperen will break Dreams triple doubles. Can you get a quadruple Alpi?
Lets be real, this isn't even the best they can play. Which is scary.
March 8-29 2024. 11-gamw winning streak.
