Jalen’s improvement at the FT line cannot be praised enough, he’s made some BIG free throws. His career average is 80% and he’s at 88% this season. Jalen Green with a fair whistle is elite
Alperen is fighting much more than last year at defence. And he is about 206cm which can be called as small for pos 5 . So i am ok with his stats. About Jalen, i am so happy for him. If Houston keep this young fellas ( Jalen , Alperen, Amen, Cam etc)together around 5 more years this team has so much potential for some rings
Amen is the KEY to this Run!!!!! Teams are focusing on him and Alp which opens up JG,Watch the Game its so obvious. When JG can put together a whole season then he's a baller.
Amen has been balling but i dont think he opens up JG. JG is plain and simple making shots!!!... combined with Ime taking the ball out of FVV hands who just wants to spam pick and roll action with Sengun...
Jalen is finally getting calls. Shooting all those free throws keeps him in rhythm,but he's earning those calls. Bro is relentless going downhill I can see Jalen realistically getting an All star nod if one of the top guys like Luka or Ant man sits out for rest, may not happen but Jalen is playing like a All star
Jabari is out for atleast another month which is going to be 16 games that includes Cavs twice, Boston, phoenix, Memphis, knicks, mavs, kings and wolves, also 10 of 16 games are on the road.. if we go better then 10-6 in that 16 game run I believe he should be the starter.. we will see how we go through that tough stretch
He shot 42%, that's absolutely awful for a center. So yes, he did struggle with his shooting. I love his passing and keeping his turnovers down though. If sengun ever gets his touch back around the rim he'll and the rockets will be absolutely scary in the playoffs...especially if Jalen keeps playing the way he has over the last few weeks.
@YaseminbBilgin-wn3pr. He had horrid shooting efficiency. I swear some Turkish Al P fanboys are almost as annoying as the Jalen Green fan boys. Both of you need to get a grip and join the rest of us in the real world.
Jalen... 'Green... Light'! 🟢 I've been on Jalen all year about his consistency and saying he needs to be traded. I heard his post game interview with D. Scott and Smitty... he's definitely a different player now. He's been playing like a bonafide all-star and this time it feels like it's going to stick. I apologize for not believing he'd be anything better than a 6th man. I'm never going to be a fanboy of anyone, but I'm definitely in the camp of believing in his game now. Proud of him.
Thank you for admitting that. Most people letting their pride get in the way. One guy still saying he hates green, he sucks and don’t want him on the team. It’s like he’s pissed off thar JG is going off
Jalen is playing the best ball of his career while playing games that really matter. During the 2-3 minute mark of the 3rd he had come off that highlight dunk the previous possession and he had a driving lane with a defender there and during the aau Silas era he would of tried to drive it again but he made the right read. That is growth I haven’t seen since he’s been in the league. He also hit alp in the pocket multiple times! That is growth
@@Nick-ok4eq He has improved his game. Good on him and the org. He has upgraded himself from a long term sixth man spark plug type player to a Zach Lavine type. He can be a cheaper contract Zach Lavine esque. Which that is growth and holds value around the association. Gotta tip your hat to that growth
The way Jalen Green has playing is amazing, also with Amen in the starting lineup it feels like the starting group is really meshing well with each other. When Jabari Smith Jr comes back do you think he should come off the bench? Because if he does with the way Cam Whitemore has been playing off the bench that lineup would be tough and let's not forget with Tari as well when he's healthy. Thoughts?
@@tyrinbrown3694100 percent we need more rim protection that is where Jabari is so valuable and his shot has been falling down but I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to Jabari coming off the bench because it would allow him to play the 5
Even when he struggles, he still significantly impacts the game... Everyone, even superstar players, can experience slumps. Name a superstar talent who hasn't experienced a slump.... He will get there, have faith ;)
I remember there was soo much doubt about Jalen just last year. Including Jackson. I get it he wasn’t playing the best, but it just show you have to slow your roll on 22 year olds. Smh, I saw the talent and never doubted for a second Jabari will be just fine too
Sorry Jabari, keep Amen in. Our speed, defense, and consistency has improved exponentially and this team here (if they keep this pace) will be a top tier contender for years.
@ Jabari is great I respect his game. But I feel Amen keeps a faster pace and flow Jabari’s size can’t really do. But either way i’m not a coach just a fan with an opinion.
Alot of the criticisms of this Rockets squad is mostly due to the losing records the past 3 seasons. Is it fair to say they are 1-2 years ahead of schedule? And if theres any trade bait, who would it be?
Jackson and Jalen haters thinking they are slick praising Amen for "unlocking" Jalen so they don't have to give the man his props smh Jalen being more on ball unlocked his game full stop. Give the man his props! Amen deserves his minutes but let's not put fake narrative out there to not give JG his props
Jackson Gatlin in madman, you guys gotta understand I watch your show all the time and never have you guys made up excuses for Jalen Green. When he played bad now you making all these ridiculous excuse for Al P. You guys wanted Jalen traded for some trash you guys need to understand let’s build up not tear down just because you got favorite players on the team that doesn’t mean 😢he’s the best player on the team. Keep that in mind when😢 doing your podcast next time. Whenever you decide to be real instead of being right, I may come back and listen to you guys.
i wanna see how a starting 5 of PF jabari, SF cam, C sengun, PG jalen, SG amen i wanna see the chemistry between them but ofc dillion aint going nowhere but i wanna see this 5 chemistry
I'm not sure if Jalen can play PG long term. If Amen could grow into a PG that would be amazing. We'd be able to switch almost everything. My idea lineup in a year or two would be PG Amen. SG Jalen. SF Tari. PF Jabari. C Sengun And when we need to go full blown defensive switch everything lineup PG Amen. SG Jalen SF Cam. PF Tari. C Jabari. A lot of things would have to go right and we'd need to see more growth from the young guys to make this work. But a year from now? Who knows.
No one has to reach super star level on the 🚀. We have depth. So teams don’t know who to double. So they play us zone and get ate up doing ones. Real talk. I like knowing anyone of my guys can drop 20 plus.
There are so many variables into why a certain player might or might not explode. This idea that Jabari out so Jalen exploded is far too simple. Low IQ people were making the same arguments when Sengun was out last season and Jalen explode. "Oh it must be Sengun slowing him down." Yet with Sengun still out Jalen fell off a cliff about a month later. Putting this all on Jabari with such limited sample size is ridiculous.
Madison really drops his best stuff after the most fun wins. "It's hard to play both ends of the floor. You know if you have to choose one, Ime chose it for you." 😂
This has nothing to do with his injury, Alpe needs to starting dunking these bunnies. One thing I hate is bigs that blows open layups cause they refuse to dunk and it’s usually European players.
In his early nba career he dunked so much. I think it is his confidence. He should be like Jalen never give up if one dunk or layup miss just hammer the next one, and we all know he could do it
@pon372. I've seen this before as I've been watching basketball since the 80s. As an earlier poster said Al P used to dunk a lot more earlier in his career, even last season early in the year he was trying to dunk everything. Personally I think he is scared. Sometimes after a lower body injury (like the one he had last season) players aren't as aggressive with getting up and throwing it down as they used to be. I've seen this before with other players. Most notably a guy most of you have never heard of, Keith Van Horn. His rookie season this guy would try to dunk everything and dunk on everyone. On one high flying attempt he broke his leg. After that he was just like Al P, soft layups the rest of his career. Hopefully AL P can shake this off and start attacking the rim harder.
Said it before, Jalen’s potentially a taller more athletic Steph Curry (based on playing style and body frame). If he continues to study Steph, sky is the limit. He is the evolution of Steph curry.
Last season this team took off when Sengun went down. They wasted the whole season running the offense through someone who was more interested in making the all-star team than winning. Sengun plays selfish. And he is the only player on the team besides Lansdale that is not a real athlete. He won't jump or run the floor hard. He was able to just get by in Turkey playing against old slow men who can't jump either. Early in the game last night he tried to score over DeAndre. Deandre blocked his shot easily and Sengun got the ball again and tried it again. This time DeAndre swatted it out of the post. My point is Sengun did not even try to jump. Then a few minutes later he tried to score at the basket and did not elevate enough to get the ball over the front of the rim and blocked his own shot. Cam cleaned up that poor attempt with a rebound and a dunk. The thing is Sengun plays lazy. He won't try to jump most of the time. He knows he has no business trying to out physical his opponents. He only can resort to trickery. Udoka knows he is a liability and that's why his minutes are being cut. If you are not going to go all out you belong on the bench. Sengun is a product of hype and clueless fans. Can he get better? YES!!! But he is not interested in working hard. As I said he is lazy. Why am I slamming him? Because I can tell he follows this guys ramblings. And it's a case of the blind leading the blind. Improve your conditioning and improve your skills. There is no excuse for not having a jump shot.
Sengun will be alright. Look up a highlight compilation of him hes incredibly talented. He put in weight evidently and so he learning to play within that. He was wildly up and down to start the season and there was some buzz about his conditioning. He will be alright.
@@Play2011Gameno fool, you dont just trade away your best players who contributed to you being a second seed , Thats why your not making those decisions. Clown work. Udoka and crew got major move making under control. The lack of intelligence in these mind numbing takes .
@darealliljableim just trollin 😂 i would keep the core and build the team around them all, and not a one man show. But Alpi has some confidence issues i think
@@Play2011Game yeah nah my bad, I see people who actually say things like that seriously and talk about Sengun in an extremely disrespectful way as if he's just a white unathletic scrub who's not worth taking seriously, I've seen people repeatedly call that man a European when he's from Turkey and probably doing it on purpose. That dude is a special player and is learning how to be great on both ends. Jalen same thing. Last year Jalen was somewhat of a Defensive liability same with Sengun and now they are playing at a much higher level defensively. Those two are both learning how to be two way players just like guess who? Amen Thompson who's offensive game is emerging slowly. People want everything right now and immediate but that's just not how it works, hats off to Udoka for developing these guys this quick as he has, his coaching from a developmental standpoint has been nothing short of outstanding, I mean the progress is insane. Second best in the west for the majority of the season when the orginal expectations were "play-in". This is like half the time it took okc to become what they are and we are currently nipping at there heels slightly, Ironically Okc is how the Rockets got Sengun.
They don't really have the numbers or efficiency to make an allstar team. Also the allstar team is a popularity contest, the Rockets still aren't on the radar of most NBA fans (yet) Would be nice if one of them made it though, last season I thought AL P had a decent shot but didn't make it.
@@GodWindumost definitely too hard on bro and talking about trade him and just completely disrespecting the man when all y’all gotta do is be patient and just let the man hoop Players gonna have up and down games thats just apart of basketball
@@GodWindusengun has had moments where he was inconsistent and playing bad but no one said anything not to mention his defense wasn’t there but when it was Jalen mfs was ready to downplay him
Sengun precisa melhorar seu arremesso , é ruim da meia distância, ruim nos lances livres , ruim do perímetro e ruim nos ganchos tbm , se ele melhorar nesse aspecto irá nos ajudar muito na pontuação, mas eu sinto que ele tem medo da cesta 🤷 . 👍🇧🇷🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
The real question when Bari gets back, would the Rockets look better playing Bari at the 5, Amen at 4, Brooks at the 3, JG 2 Fred 1???? If we are running and gunning i dont see that being beneficial to Sengun, dude is really struggling with his efficiency.... I think and what i have always alluded to is, havng Sengun be the 6th man with JG off the court and run everything through Sengun for 20-25 minute stretches. But with JG having the ball, I think Bari is more suited at the 5 with Amen at the 4/1, with that lineup offense is not slipping and defesive will be lck down switch everything 1-5... Some of yall giving reasons to why Amen should start over BAri, well i can make those same arguments to why Bari should start over Sengun..
thats impossible like the past 3.5 years except last 10 games , if jalen cant shoot as always how u can score with this 5 ? every time Sengun was consistent if he struggles for last 3 game so what :D its just funny like if sengun struggles past 2 seasons like jg he is alredy traded XD
@@ataberkkahraman35 Sengun is a good player, but because he lacks the ability to shoot, he is a high floor player. Its hard to build a team around a floor player. To win a championship a team needs to be bulilt around high ceiling guys.. Sengun also can be schemed out of games becuase he lacks versatility, if teams decide to take him out of a game by doubling him, then thats it, he wont be effective no where else... Also i dodnt say Sengun should not have a part, it just should his style of play shouldnt be the main dish. Its plenty of teams in the nba, that utilizes player like ALP in spurts but its not the team identity. Enes Kanter was damn good scorer in the paint, and was efficient too, but teams didnt build around that. he came off the bench and did his thing in spurts
@@ataberkkahraman35 Gianni's is a high ceiling guy on defense though, also dude shoots at a higher percentage inside the paint than Sengun.. even if Gianni's is a floor guy offensively, his defensive upside out-weight his offensive floor
Been years since I watched a whole Rockets game. Team looks like they wanna win with defense and running back on offense! Coach has all the players buying in on what's possible.
@Ganidanimarka285. You're cherry picking stats. Yes Al P almost had a triple double in 25 minutes But if you factor in the fact he had horrible shooting efficiency, it shows he had a decent game. Nothing special. If you're going to pick an MVP for this game it is obviously Jalen.
Jalen’s improvement at the FT line cannot be praised enough, he’s made some BIG free throws. His career average is 80% and he’s at 88% this season. Jalen Green with a fair whistle is elite
@@ir0nfistalex he has made 28/29 fts last 7 games
It's nice to see the faith the team had in Jalen pay-off, he deserves the credit for keeping his head up and working through it.
Alperen is fighting much more than last year at defence. And he is about 206cm which can be called as small for pos 5 . So i am ok with his stats. About Jalen, i am so happy for him. If Houston keep this young fellas ( Jalen , Alperen, Amen, Cam etc)together around 5 more years this team has so much potential for some rings
The bunnies that Sengun has been missing have nothing to do with height.
He makes them when he is focused and not being soft.
Amen is the KEY to this Run!!!!! Teams are focusing on him and Alp which opens up JG,Watch the Game its so obvious. When JG can put together a whole season then he's a baller.
Facts
no, JG is the man
Focusing on Amen?
Amen is a great defensive player but I'm not sure how much defenses are focusing in on Amen?
Amen has been balling but i dont think he opens up JG. JG is plain and simple making shots!!!... combined with Ime taking the ball out of FVV hands who just wants to spam pick and roll action with Sengun...
@ exactly, JG can create his own shot
Jalen is balling and will lead the Rockets deep into the playoffs!! Great show and Go Rockets!!
The Rockets play at a faster paste with Amen,Green and Cam in the line up
Jalen is finally getting calls. Shooting all those free throws keeps him in rhythm,but he's earning those calls. Bro is relentless going downhill I can see Jalen realistically getting an All star nod if one of the top guys like Luka or Ant man sits out for rest, may not happen but Jalen is playing like a All star
Great job Jalen, BE THE CLOSER !!! ❤
Great Win. Keep this core intact!!!!This group play whith hart and passion.
I like the accountability Jalen has I think he’s finally figuring out how to be consistent in the nba
Jalen playing big man! And Sengun struggles(really he is) but he did 20P-9R-8AS in 25 Minites 😂
he did struggle in the first 2 quarters shooting the ball. they actually said it in this video if you listen to what they saying.
@ i did, and i agree with that.. did you read or try to understand my post?
True, but 20 points on 21 shots is pretty terrible.
Sengun is good but will never be a dominate center due to his size, he has a nice touch though
@@DattboiiSteve Yup his efficiency was bad.
But when you factor in the 8 assists and 9 rebounds.
He had a decent game. Nothing special though.
The rockets are 9-1 with Amen in the starting lineup. Is it time to make some decisions about Jabari if Amen will keep his consistency?
100%
nah, Amen is good but this is team sport, JG average 32 points average last 6 games
Jabari is out for atleast another month which is going to be 16 games that includes Cavs twice, Boston, phoenix, Memphis, knicks, mavs, kings and wolves, also 10 of 16 games are on the road.. if we go better then 10-6 in that 16 game run I believe he should be the starter.. we will see how we go through that tough stretch
need to get Tari back soon
Nah I think it should be Dillon put Jabari at the pf put amen at starting small forward have Dillion come off the bench it’s easy
Rockets officially have 8 players avg double digit scoring, that has to be an nba record. Correct me if I’m wrong
Spurs are close to 8 too, CP3 at 9.7. Hopefully just HOU gets the record lol
20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists in 25min. Wtf! Saying Sengun stuggles!
21 attempts to score 20, he did struggle this past two games but he'll be fine.

And when we need to go full blown defensive switch everything lineup PG Amen. SG Jalen SF Cam. PF Tari. C Jabari.

Last year Jalen was somewhat of a Defensive liability same with Sengun and now they are playing at a much higher level defensively.
Those two are both learning how to be two way players just like guess who? Amen Thompson who's offensive game is emerging slowly. People want everything right now and immediate but that's just not how it works, hats off to Udoka for developing these guys this quick as he has, his coaching from a developmental standpoint has been nothing short of outstanding, I mean the progress is insane. Second best in the west for the majority of the season when the orginal expectations were "play-in".
This is like half the time it took okc to become what they are and we are currently nipping at there heels slightly, Ironically Okc is how the Rockets got Sengun.
Bench Brooks.
why??
no are you mad
Brooks is the best 3pt shooter and defender on the team. You must be mad.
Long term yes, the young guys will take his spot.
But right now we need Brooks.
@feifeihydro6282 you must not be watching actual games. I cringe every time our offense finishes w Dillon brooks taking a shot
Why shouldn't Jalen and Alpi be Allstars. We are 2nd in the west, with the 3rd or 4th best record in the league 🤔?
They don't really have the numbers or efficiency to make an allstar team.
Also the allstar team is a popularity contest, the Rockets still aren't on the radar of most NBA fans (yet)
Would be nice if one of them made it though, last season I thought AL P had a decent shot but didn't make it.
Struggling near triple double
Go Rockets 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Go Rockets!
what happend to your eye man
JG is proving to all been so hard on him.
nobody was too hard on him. if sengun was that inconsistent he was traded long ago. jg enjoyed endless patience.
@@GodWindumost definitely too hard on bro and talking about trade him and just completely disrespecting the man when all y’all gotta do is be patient and just let the man hoop
Players gonna have up and down games thats just apart of basketball
@@GodWindusengun has had moments where he was inconsistent and playing bad but no one said anything not to mention his defense wasn’t there but when it was Jalen mfs was ready to downplay him
He here for 4 yrs, I’m sure he expected more from himself. Would be great if he can become a closer, rather than trade for someone not homegrown.
He proved it last year to for about a month. How'd that end?
Lets wait and see before crowning him the next Michael Jordan.
Silas always catching strays. 🤭
Go rockets 🚀
🔥
jg rises, sengun goes down. sengun started to miss lay ups from point blank shot. most if not almost all "not pretty" game of rockets goes to sengun.
Sengun precisa melhorar seu arremesso , é ruim da meia distância, ruim nos lances livres , ruim do perímetro e ruim nos ganchos tbm , se ele melhorar nesse aspecto irá nos ajudar muito na pontuação, mas eu sinto que ele tem medo da cesta 🤷 . 👍🇧🇷🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Yeeee
Go HOUnds!
The real question when Bari gets back, would the Rockets look better playing Bari at the 5, Amen at 4, Brooks at the 3, JG 2 Fred 1???? If we are running and gunning i dont see that being beneficial to Sengun, dude is really struggling with his efficiency.... I think and what i have always alluded to is, havng Sengun be the 6th man with JG off the court and run everything through Sengun for 20-25 minute stretches. But with JG having the ball, I think Bari is more suited at the 5 with Amen at the 4/1, with that lineup offense is not slipping and defesive will be lck down switch everything 1-5... Some of yall giving reasons to why Amen should start over BAri, well i can make those same arguments to why Bari should start over Sengun..
thats impossible like the past 3.5 years except last 10 games , if jalen cant shoot as always how u can score with this 5 ? every time Sengun was consistent if he struggles for last 3 game so what :D its just funny like if sengun struggles past 2 seasons like jg he is alredy traded XD
@@ataberkkahraman35 Sengun is a good player, but because he lacks the ability to shoot, he is a high floor player. Its hard to build a team around a floor player. To win a championship a team needs to be bulilt around high ceiling guys.. Sengun also can be schemed out of games becuase he lacks versatility, if teams decide to take him out of a game by doubling him, then thats it, he wont be effective no where else... Also i dodnt say Sengun should not have a part, it just should his style of play shouldnt be the main dish. Its plenty of teams in the nba, that utilizes player like ALP in spurts but its not the team identity. Enes Kanter was damn good scorer in the paint, and was efficient too, but teams didnt build around that. he came off the bench and did his thing in spurts
@@djmill8000 so giannis is also high floor player with no shoot so you cant build around him ?
Sengun makes Amen better on offense. Bari should come off the bench until he becomes a sniper from a distance.
@@ataberkkahraman35 Gianni's is a high ceiling guy on defense though, also dude shoots at a higher percentage inside the paint than Sengun.. even if Gianni's is a floor guy offensively, his defensive upside out-weight his offensive floor
Sengun - please stop complaining all the time in the games, and focus your game
Ride or die w this group. Don’t trade Reed. Ok to trade cam and tari for the right price
Madison Moore AKA "Knowhatameen"
Amen, the Stock Broker.
Been years since I watched a whole Rockets game. Team looks like they wanna win with defense and running back on offense! Coach has all the players buying in on what's possible.
Even if the Rockets would loss next 10 games, still 6th seed with 0.551 pct securing playoffs. Relax.
25 minnute :20 point.9 rib.8 asist MVP SENGUN
nah, MVP is exagerrated
6 missed layups
21 shots to get 20 points? MVP my ass
@ lol
@Ganidanimarka285.
You're cherry picking stats. Yes Al P almost had a triple double in 25 minutes
But if you factor in the fact he had horrible shooting efficiency, it shows he had a decent game. Nothing special.
If you're going to pick an MVP for this game it is obviously Jalen.
Now the other clown free Jalen Yall have no credibility
Watching alp is like pulling teeth
Jabari gonna get traded if the success continues without him... He had a good run
Trade alpi he is not for this team
To your team? I’m certain you’re not a rockets fan.
Trade with whom???
Mad man!!! I’m surprised by you always agree with this guy. Tell him the truth.
