Green started playing better while sengun was still playing. What changed was they started passing more and playing at a higher pace after all star break. Most specifically their second suns game after all star break. Green was actually running the PnR really well with sengun before sengun got hurt.
And yes green gets the ball more and he is better on ball. But that was coming more at the expense of FVV not playing such extreme minutes. Early on udoka wouldn't trust green. And only after FVV got hurt and udoka was forced to let green run things more. Things slowly start turning around again.
After that second suns game after all star break they started getting into their groove. But then sengun and cam got hurt. And jalen just took on even more of the burden, and so far has been rising to the challenge.
But they do need them both back. Cam is their second best true scoring threat behind jalen. And they do miss sengun's presence inside. He gives them another dimension on top of what they have found in his absence.
Best take I’ve read anywhere
Is because Alpi ball turn the whole team into statues and spot up shooters. What you're watching now is a visual protest of that style. The whole team is better
@@bigpain76that's fucking bullshit. JG is taking the same tough shots but he's making them now. JG before ASB on WIDE OPEN 3S: 27.4%. JG now: 46.8%.
Did Sengun make Jalen miss his wide open 3s?
Well said JG was already starting to play good with segun prior to injury
Thank you bro🙏🏾
I’m rooting for them to overtake the Warriors 😂
Lol same bro
me too
I would to, just to get a lottery pick
Me too😂💯
especially after draymond's comments. you don't give a damn about the rockets? ok.
OMG. imagine Sengum with OKC??? Semgum at center, Chet at the 4, Jalen Williams at the 3, SGA at PG??
Right??
That would be a monster team
You know the Thunder traded the draft rights of Sengun to the Rockets? Thats how we got him. Im not happy but yeah, the Thunder did drafted him.
@@judarod1 yes, the vid said that. But to have Sengum on OKC now? Hell, OKC had Sabonis. It's amazing the guys they drafted & traded away.
No please no I'm glad AL P is not on OKC or those jersey swaps pictures of the Lakers
sengun carried us 65% of the season, jalen has finally woken up and carried us but mostly against lower tier teams. If Jalen would’ve played like this even half the season we’d be in the playoffs for sure. It’s on udoka and Fred to figure out how to balance the pace and usage of our two top dawgs. .5 GB on warriors & Starting Wednesday our schedule gets real again and it’ll be another huge test for Jalen.
I agree, but it takes young players time to figure it out. We'll see as the season progresses and when we go into next season if this is a fluke or he's figured it out.
It was the pace that change as udoka refuse to play fast until sengun went down he was forced to
I heard jalen tried to talk to udoka about playing fast but udoka ignore it
Come play off time sengun is very important as the game slow down
Agreed
Right, the only way they are able to uptempo this stretch is the opponents suck scoring, leading to fastbreaks for them. Playoffs against tighter teams, it's a different ballgame and that is why small ball/uptempo never going to win championships. You need efficient half-court set weapons. And what is great about Rockets is they have both weapons -- if opponent scores, they go half-court set with The Alps; if opponent misses, they go full throttle with The Dunkstronaut.
In the Playoff, you’re right. The game slows down and you need a post-presence. But trust me, Landale style of play is more fitting than Sengun. He’s not the best option but between him, Sengun and Adam Landale is the only one who can shoot 3s naturally and has a better mid-range shot too.
Sengun does too much. He hold the ball too much and don’t always pass to the open man on the 3 point which are high-priority shots that Sengun ignore for his post-play of 2 points. He holds us back.
Not true. Pace was higher well before Sengun went down.
You're right but wrong at the same time. Sengun also said the same thing as jalen, everyone that doesn't watch the post-game conferences wouldn't of known sengun said the same thing as well though about running and pickin up the pace
Sengun is still THE guy in my opinion. If Green stays consistent it can be like a Jokic/Murray duo
I think Jalen physical tools place his ceiling higher than Murray’s, has more potential to be like Anthony Edward’s. Also sengun is excellent and plays similarly to jokic but not sure he can reach being top 3 player in the league like jokic
Nah its always been Jalen he has had hardest learning curve with new scheme
disrespectful to green
Joker can space the floor. I thought all Euros were supposed to be able to at least shoot. We had to go and get the one that can't SMH
Sabonis and fox is more accurate
They need to make it work. Don't fall into this trap just because Jalen is playing well and they're currently winning. Şengün has been great from day 1 and has improved every game. Jalen is just not consistent. Maybe this little stretch without Şengün is what Jalen needed to BE consistent. They're both too talented for it to be one or the other. 🚀
I'd be happy to be surprised and Green's streak isn't a fluke. I do wonder how much is sustainable considering the teams they've been facing (Bulls, Spurs, Utah, Portland and the Wizards twice).
I think the next few games against the Thunder, Timberwolves and Magic will give us a better sense if Green is actually becoming the all NBA player Houston thought they were getting.
They 9-1 in last 10 games and has played only 3 teams above .500 record in that span and they lost to 1 i.e Clippers.
Their remaining 12 games they are facing 8 teams with above .500 record
Jalen Green is an above average defender now
Oof, I don’t know about above average, but he has looked better
I agree with this. He's shown quickness in covering and switching. And he is also becoming vocal on defense, love seeing that from him.
That's why the guy from the Bulls close lined him up from the other game because Jalen blocked his dunk 😂 Lol
Rockets win and played good after brooks and jabari were sent out in last 2 games.. That does not mean Rockets are better without them.. same as Alperen.. thats why it is called a team. Alperen is a wonderful player..
It's the Filifinos commenting. They are not Houston fans but Jalen Green fans. I get it. I just wish they get something out of it in Jalen suiting up for their Gilas national team as a naturalized player. Turks fans also can be annoying but I also get it. They're not H-town fans. These 2 fanbase are rabid fans and it's great for the team. The only thing is at least for the Turks, Alpe rewards them by playing for their Turkish national team. What do Filifinos get?
So to recap what we have learned:
- Half-court / deliberate = Sengun = Turks = Yes on Turkish National Team
- Small ball / up-tempo = Jalen = Filifinos = No on Philippines National Team

@@ghtrcp7554?
@@bigradwolf5001 The team is better without Sengun that's just the truth the stats, record, and numbers say so.
It's because Brooks and Jabari aren't the main guy. It's Jalen Green who is impacting winning the most.
Like you said it’s definitely a good problem to have they’re a very young team with talent Boston had a similar problem with the two jays figuring out their playstyle once it clicks ideally finding a pace that won’t completely gas sengun
we will see rockets when big teams hammer that lil guy
Aaron Holiday?
continue underestimating Jalen. he will prove u all wrong. Şengün and JG is going to dominate NBA
@@mda990 I wish you're right. For my city, H-Town!
Maybe it's good for Alpi to part ways and find a team that will value his talent. Surely playing fast worked in these last games, good for Rockets, but it's not as if it explains why they kept on shooting bricks on after Alpi's passes that gave them open looks.
Jalen is not a set-up 3p shooter but a step-back 3p shooter. These past games showed that. So now that coaches knew that, they should apply this knowledge and treat Alpe and Jalen more based on their strengths, like Shaq and Kobe.
The team plays better without Sengun
@@dre7147That's awesome. Imagine if they didn't have Alpi from the start. They'd be a championship contender! You sure can try it next season.
@@hesido Yes we would be a championship contender without Sengun. Because we sure wasn't one with him.
@@dre7147Superb logic, I think this is the winning mentality Rockets should have next season.
Statistics are never wrong. It was in the top 5 for 3 years. 3 points 32%..... 2 points 43%. The worst performance of the first 5 players.... the contract year has come))))))))) . the 5-year max contract))))))!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Rocket fans keep jalen green and support him
Alpi is going to leave from houston as soon as possible and find good offer and go better organization
The thunder made the trade the day after official. But the deal was already set during the draft. The Rockets told the thunder to draft Alperun Sengun
Correct.
Sengun injury has nothing to do with Green playing better, he's on his hot streak before Sengun went down. But it has effect on the team performance overall. small fast line up with spacing similar to that warriors are the reason why they're winning and their fast defensive feet really giving opponents some trouble.
Thank you. Why are all these people crapping on Sengun like he was hurting he team when he was the most efficient player all year and efficiency had been the rockets akeelis heal all year. It's really annoying seeing people say these unintelligent things.
We'll put your guess to a test this coming Thunder game Wednesday.
@@bigradwolf5001 it's not a guess. It's basketball. Your the people who are the ones guessing.
No Jalen Green was horrible when he was playing with Sengun and the team was bad and losing.
@@darealliljable The team is better without Sengun that's just the truth the stats, record, and numbers say so.
The rockets offense has been upticking while Sengun was even on the floor. Jalen just wasnt converting, whats so hard to accept about that? The whole team but sengun has been inefficient all year. Sengun has had a hand full of not great games but for the most part hes been a solid saving grace. ANY TIME a player demands a double team and that player whos being doubled knows where to pass hes a asset. That's not speculation thats basketball. Green and Sengun can play well together Green just needs to keep playing maturely. Same for Sengun, when Sengun gets overly emotional and frankly plays frustrated he dosnt play well. Its a young team where all these guys are growing mentally. Smh to these crazy stupid trade sengun takes. Before it was trade green . Fake fan base
No the offense now is on another level. The team plays better without Sengun that's just the truth.
@@dre7147 you kids don't use your brain. Your regurgitating media narratives.
Sengun doesn't have to be used as a pick and role player because he actually can put the ball on the floor and pass as well. 🤦♂️ Jalen wasn't shooting well because Jalen wasn't shooting well. You kids and others who think they know basketball have no clue what you're talking about. A month ago, people were saying Jalen needs to be traded because he was inefficient. Sengun has accounted for atleast 60% of the total offense of the Rockets and that's because these other guys have been streaky and inefficient. You have no clue dude stop it. Sengun ain't that slow either especially for somebody his size. Dude has chase down blocks, cross overs no looks.
@@dre7147I bet Houston is gonna lose 5 more games in this season they have winning streak because of bad teams u better comment bout end of season
@@darealliljableSengun can’t pass or mates can’t make 3s when he passes I bet you if Sengun plays for any other team he would be goat but y’all tryna get a basic point guard other then a star and im telling you Sengun is a star who’s gon be mvp one day but green at prime is gonna be pg trust and don’t ever forget this name u boy
Did not realize Jalen Green was playing this well. Hopefully he keeps it up.
In March ...
27.8 PPG, on +5.5% league relative TS.

better than ur bum ass team

6:46 you have a double take that made it, you can edit it out in UA-cam studio
So basically, Sengun is like the LeBron of the Rockets. Incredible players but slows down the game when they're teammates can clearly play faster with ball movement instead they're hogging the ball for a significant amount of time in the shot clock making the game slower and more predictable in generating offense.
Don't get me wrong though... I think a slower game works especially in the playoffs when a lot of plays feels like a half court set.
I would say 1H of playoffs you can really use uptempo. 2H you slow it down a bit. That is why I am very happy with Jalen's performance recently. If he can continue this GREENSANITY train to end of season, it's very exciting for Rockets fans next season because now, he have not 1 but 2 dynamic leaders of offense that gives 2 flavors. And both showed capability leading their own style and including other teammates (whereas before, Jalen is playing 1 on 1 only). To have uptempo when we want to, and half-court when we want to, is intoxicating!
No Sengun is nothing like LeBron because Sengun plays slow and plays now defense. LeBron similar to Tyrese Haliburton can run , push the pace.
@@bigradwolf5001jalen still need 2 years. Thats why i think it will b better 4 him to pair with wemby.
Faster pace and Jalen Green may work in the regular season but in playoff competition, the game slows down to half court sets and decision making reins supreme. Jalen Green has shown to be a low bball iq player, often taking bad shots. Rockets r not a better team without Sengun.
Open your eyes
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT GOLDEN STATE PLAY FAST AND THEY WERE THE CLOSEST THING THAT WE'VE SEEN TO A DYNASTY SINCE THE BULLS WHO ALSO PLAYED FAST SMH......... RIDICULOUS FANBOY NONSENSE
@@bigpain76 Stop typing in all caps. Some of the years that the Warriors went to to the Finals they were middle of the NBA in pace so that's not always true
@@bigpain76 Wow comparing to GSW. I guess if you have the 2 best shooters it would work. So the question is, how can we get Curry and Durant to our team?
@@vaudou_ Warriors played fast and was shooting amazing just like the Rockets are right now. What you talking about of course you can play fast in the playoffs. You just need to be good enough and the rockets are showing that
I like the fact that this dude has ever mentioned that Rockets played the worst teams of NBA except Cavs on this stretch without Sengun. Imagine thinking Landale or Amen Thompson with their whopping 19% and 17% 3pt shootings stretching the game or opening more lanes. JG and FVV simply stopped laying bricks and shooting okay against feeder teams!
There are a few factors to consider that have been missed in this video.
1. Inserting Amen Thompson as a small ball 4 has helped increase the pace and did wonders on perimeter defence
2. Jalen Green is about to be a Dad and is looking to do whatever it takes to get paid handsomely
3. Jabari Smith playing Center has opened up the floor for Jalen Green
4. Jock Landale has had health issues in the first half of the season and is now become a solid contributor off the bench
I think that the main takeaway from Green having an explosive moment in the season and Sengun going down is that the Rockets can actively rely less on Sengun which would be better for the team overall. There have been tons of moments this season where they just ran play after play for Sengun which would force him to try to pull off a ridiculous basket. You're not going to get away with just forcing a PnR with Sengun nonstop in a playoff setting and he's going to get worn down in a playoff series playing like that.
The team has multiple players erupting like Whitmore, Amen Thompson, and Jabari. This Rockets team could play extremely unselfish basketball but let the few future superstars take over when needed, similar to how the Warriors were able to make use of their fantastic ball movement when they were in their prime dynasty, just about anyone that touched that floor was a threat and that's what the Rockets are turning out to be now.
Nice job thanks
Nets have a huge appetite on Sengun . any teams do have the same that for Green? .. Gonna be a hard pick us for to make
Pretty sure the team just stepped up their mentality due to the circumstances of Sengun injury and it's really come thru, they are playing with so much heart and energy but I still believe if you add this conisistently with Sengun they will be even better. Props to the Rockets for stepping up big in this time of need. Hope Houston makes playoffs
The team is better without Sengun that's just the truth the stats, record, and numbers say so.
@@dre7147 Casual af
@@dre7147
This is definitely a conundrum.
I think if you want to run a offense through a big, that big has to be a caliber of Jokic, any less i don't think it would work.
Take Sabonis, great player, but Sabonis isn't dramatically moving the needle for a championship. Swap him onto the Nuggets, i don't think they would be as good with Jokic, in my opinion.
Yes, i am saying Sabonis and Segun are not that guy to build around. My analogy is this. You can have a perfect role player that hardly ever make mistakes but they'll never match up to a player that has that IT factor, that guy that can take over games, that can lead you to championships.
But Segun is still young so he still has time to prove himself
Sengun gonna be legend. Jalen gona be losser next couple years. Jalen selfish guy.
I hope this isnt a case of these guys not being able to play together and jalen trying to show the rockets sengun is holding him back remember there is only 1 basketball im firmly against slow paced basketball inbthis era
If both guys play up to their potential, they’re going to pose a threat. They already have legit defensive anchors in brooks snd thompson. Alpi and Jalen can be murray/jokic 2.0.
they can probably get a top 15 guy with the contracts they got plus one of them in a deal if it doesnt fit.
This is a good topic -- who to pick? I think a rim protector Center who can run. Jamarion Sharp. He is very under the radar as he missed a lot of games this season due to him mom being sick. But this guy is ultra athletic.
@@bigradwolf5001 idk was thinking of bigger names than that. As a suns fan I’m down to send Durant for sengun tho sharpies nice tho
The Rockets have picked up good momentum, and yes, they may owe it to their high-paced style of basketball, but there are some key points to focus on here. Firstly, can the Houston Rockets sustain this pace, or will they burn themselves out like fast-moving vehicles consuming fuel? In other words, is there a cost to maintaining this tempo? Secondly, most of the teams they've played against have been below average, except for one. Thirdly, the players have shown a high level of mental capacity in recent matches, but maintaining this is a matter of consistency. Now, this week, a match awaits us that will answer all of these questions. Will the Houston Rockets team be able to put up a commendable fight against the Oklahoma City Thunder? If they manage to do so, it would be reasonable for me to consider different outcomes."
Few things, Segun is essential to this young Rockets team.. but also Green and Amen have definitely stepped up since both Green and Whitmore have gone out.
And the lottery picks are literally 1-14.. so 16 isn't too bad considering two spots off. 😅
I like Jalen Green a lot. But i dont know if he is a max player. Do you guys?
No, I don’t think so, but he’s likely going to command the max
@@And.One.Hoops1if they reach the playoffs, he could demand max.
Let him contribute to a championship, then we cross that bridge. Just a month ago, Rockets was dealing him and future second round picks to Nets for Bridges. Is this surge and shooting display real? Let's see if he can finish strong and grow his season average 3P% of 33.4% to 34.5% as a test.
@@bigradwolf5001i hear u that
@@And.One.Hoops1 yea thats how the nba is now. Its so much money they have to pay
Green was the guy from day 1, thats why he was drafted #2 overall to get every opportunity with our highest draft capital spent on him as the anchor to the new era of Rockets ball. Green has played the best over the last 3 years minus that 2 month stretch Sengun started this season with. It went downhill and Sengun underperformed since around december and we can not give up on Jalen as the main guy after just 2 months of strong play from Sengun. Now Jalen is showing that #2 draft pick superstar potential so you have to return to priority number 1 and that has been to develop Jalen to be that #1 franchise guy.
The team plays much better defende without Sengun because we can switch everything but that doesnt mean Sengun doesnt have a strong role on this team but he must stretch his shooting to the 3 and not be a ball stopper anymore because our players suffer around Sengun when hes dominating the ball. Not hard to assess.
when sengun gets doubled or tripled, at least one of the players get enough space to hit a free 3 point shot but rockets haven't been consistent as they have been these few days. bro also i don't think ur talking about how to be a better team and play a better basketball. i think u just want green to step up as you want and carry you guys... i do not think it is about sengun playing bad or green being better than any player from the rockets and being the better player overall. i think you just want to see green succeed as being the best player in rockets. out of context but i'd like to say that silas era did not show the better player overall at all in my opinion. it just showed the highlights of an inconsistent, bad shot selecting team that are just tanking for the drafts in my opinion. so jalen was attempting every shot he wants along with sengun and the other teammates. these two years were wasted for these players. sengun is only showing his potential this year and for me 21 every night is nice for a 21 year old. even when he played "bad" he was consistent for his team and teammates and he just wanted to win as you know. he might be a bad defender because of his shoulders and his height for a center but he stood up against every shot and tried his best to do better and even he did a decent job most of the times. now let's think about it brother; what would you do if it was jalen green putting up all these stats with all these efficiency and what would you do if sengun was playing as inefficient as green does? i think you would treat him like he is temporary to you. wouldnt't mention about him at all... is it only because he is the fkin number 16th draft then? does that make him talentless? is it not about how he plays and how much he wants? then it would be better if you guys just trade him and get better players to build around green. i know that green has the potential and he has shown it recently these days so just trade sengun and stop disrespecting him all the time. it's nice to not give up on jalen. i think rockets should not let him go too but if rockets fans don't get sengun enough support i think they should let him go. how does he have a strong role if he keeps making the team worse in pace and tempo? these are the most important things in basketball bro... and i think you dont understand that these teams they played against without sengun was the worst teams except cavs and maybe bulls are only as good as them... is it really about the number onemguy for you you know that alperen does not make the most attempts if not needed and splits the ball right? he is not that selfish he is just consistent. and about the pacing sengun does a great job with pick and rolls and without him, when landale is in the game he does all the same thing nearly at his pace but somehow it is about sengun? it is about how consistent they have been against these teams bro (i hope they keep this up the next week). if they are that great without him then why didn't they play when sengun was not on the court before he was injured? if not about basketball is it about mentality? are they better without sengun as their best player mentally? i really can not relate to what you say on this comment.
Because Sengun style of play is killing jalens momentum when jalen green is hot..Senguns always wanted to take a shot.
Şengün should leave the rockets.. They seem to have a disgusting fan base.. Just because they won a few games against some of the weakest teams in the league, they suddenly began showing a pattern of turning against Şengün as if his injury is a blessing that caused a win streak, or they now voice claims like the team being better without him..
Like it was not the same players who were bricking tons of wide open looks Şengün provided them throughout the season.. No player should play for such backstabbing fans.. Şengün should go somewhere that will appreciate him..
So, I hope that thunder, mavs, minnesota, warriors, magic, and the heat will totally destroy the rockets.. It will be fun to watch Doncic, Edwards etc. torching them out of the play-in standings..
Stop the hate bro
He should level up! Learn how to shoot and space the floor, drop at least 10 lb so maybe he'll be faster, learn how to play defense, & it'll be good if he grows at least another 3 inches. Than he wouldn't have to leave. YOU CAN'T SACRIFICE THE WHOLE TEAM FOR ONE PLAYER. THE WHOLE TEAM IS PLAYING BETTER WITHOUT HIM, & THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!!!!! Sengun is a good player he just has way too many holes in his game to try to build a team around
Jalen green tam bi tuğlacı teneke Kontrat zamanı yaklaştı diye kıçını yırtıyor sezon boyunca nerdeydın tuğlacı bunu koç ve yönetimde bılıyor zaten takasla manın peşindeler sadece biraz piyasa değeri olur yani gidişini hizlandiriyor

The ball movement has gotten Much better. Also Amen Thompson: this dude’s defense and IQ amazing.
For a rookie, he’s been great
I love it. I think he’ll adjust his game when he comes back, it’s Jalen’s team.
I believe Sengun is an upside to any NBA team and it should be. because his skills set is rare in NBA, it will instantly boost everyone around him and team performance overall.
well if you have ISO player that needs the ball in hands and creates an offense with that respect, so be it. but its not sustainable, coaches like Ime would never agree to that I feel.
still this is not the case, Ime let Jalen to have his ISO, let him be him, but he failed to respond, it took his time to respond, now its the time. and hope that continues for next season.
If he continues to ball like this for the remainder of the season, then it's not a fluke. If he regresses, then it's a fluke. I a good thing we still have 12 games to see how all this pans out. Can you imagine if the season already ended after Jazz game.

The sample size is too small on this Jalen Green hot streak. Most of his offense is coming from iso ball and he takes a lot of difficult shots. I don't see that as sustainable.
I'm now sold on Green. He is looking like he might become the best player in he NBA. I would put feelers out to see what I could get in a trade for Sengun.
But the Rockets might end up resigning both for now, and then seeing if they can trade Sengun later.
ime is the best coach in the league..look at his Celtics...the dude is raw
Rockets have been a surprise of the NBA. They have been playing well. Peak just a right time.
After Alperen's injury, Team started a survial mode.. but against to weak teams.. it won't be easy against real teams.. other coaches will discover to stop.. must win 8 games for play in..
Segun slows Green game down he is and awesome player but Green has MJ like abilities that shouldn't be wasted
😂😂😂😂
Id say kobe. No 1 has mj talent and mindset
Green does not have MJ abilities. MJ was a leader but not the Green. He was inconsisten and he will keep continue being inconsistent.
You can compare this Rockets team to the bubble Suns. Something click near at the end of the season.
Utah last matches were a bit easy, we will see their game power at next hard matches, probably they won these matches with Alperen also. Beside this Utah won their first 8 matches in a row with Alperen.
Offense needs a major adjustment they should build around youth dont trade anything there is nothing better bridges trade talks were very disrespectful
the reason jalen green is playing so well is because of. the baby.
kobes ego was hit once too playing alongside a dominant shaq. shaq once had the same problem with kobe, but once you put the egos aside you get greatness and i believe we'll see that with jalen and sengun in the future. they've had multiple games where they both dominated so im not going to say get rid of sengun because of that. that would be the stupidest thing we could do as a franchise.
Shaq and Kobe both played fast and was able to win. Green trying to play fast but Sengun slows the game down, and Sengun is horrible on defense. It's different situations
@@dre7147 kobe used to be on shaq about his weight and speed bad when they dominated the league back then. kobe used to believe if shaq dropped weight and gained pure muscle with power they would've been even more dominant because they could play at a even faster pace that's the only reason i compared sengun and jalens situation to that situation but i do believe they will figure it out eventually
@@dre7147 sengun has been way better defensively this season

This effect we're seeing could be explained like this: All the team now is giving 110% due to Senguns absence!
It’s not a problem it’s a chance to become Jokic & Murray 2.0
No Sengun is not Jokic and Jalen Green has more potential than Murray. Jalen has superstar potential.
Man is jalen your girlfriend or something? Glaze is unreal..@@dre7147
Houston won't be able to keep both players next year. Hence, one of them should be traded this summer and then, offer a huge contract to the other to prevent what happened to Dallas with Luka and Brunson.
it is better to have two guns 🤩
Been playing against a bunch of weak teams. Real test is coming. We are gonna see what Green will do against OKC-Mavericks-Timberwolves and most importantly GSW.
Can the Rockets sign both of them? I keep hearing that they have to choose between them.
Rockets will need to change the coach next season!
Funny because Nuggets has Jokic and Murray playing together. A high scoring guard and a point center. Like we shouldn't be pretending that Murray isn't a ball hug right?
2 ay öncede benzer yorum yapmıştım, kolay savunmalara karşı pota altını boşalt ve green koşsun 30 sayı garanti, ama o yorumu yaptığımdan beri değişen tek şey şut yüzdesi! Green de psikolojik problem var ben merkezli, alpi oynarken pota altından asisst yağdırdı ikili sıkıştırmalarda o zaman bu şut yüzdesiyle atsaydı şu anda rockets ilk 6 da olurdu!!! bence green bir takımda iki yıldızlı bir oyun oynayacak kafada değil, belkide geçtiğimiz yıllardaki silus döemi serbestlik ve göz önünde olmaya alıştı bilemiyorum yada ciddi ego problemi var. keşke alpi gibi bir center la oynamayıda becerse o zaman roketler finale gider.
If the rockets has any future problem, it will be managing Thompson, Whitmore and Eason on the same roaster.
Sure the rockets has been winning since Alp went down, but Thompson has been getting more quality minutes as well.
Plays are slower during playoffs…. Has anyone mentioned that?
Funny the only people gone from the Rockets are Silas & KPJ
Green is an excellent defender do not tell a lie.
This is not a problem 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a good thing
Like I said, it’s a good problem to have
@@And.One.Hoops1my b I comment before I finished watching 😅
You can’t actually believe that the rockets will actually trade either of those 2,their future stars for the rockets,sengun gets thought how to play by Hakeem Olajuwon and jalen has suddenly turned into a way better player since he had a baby
Like they say in the video, Jalen want to be batman and can not accept to be the Robin for the success......that's it
Rockets should draft a trainer. What too the trainer so long to get out to help Sengun.
Go Rockets!
Green is the best from 2021 draft
When one gets tired put the other one in
Problem solved
Jalen Green not resigning
I don't thin million dollars of money is something you resign from. Only regular folks resign.
sigh , dunk on you@@bigradwolf5001
@@bigradwolf5001wanna bet?
I see no one is giving the new coach any credit. 😢
jalen green is unstable . Houston ca not trust him. Alperen is nr.1 for houston. Houston needs to build the team around Alperen sengun and use jalen green as valuable asset in trades
The team is better WITHOUT Sengun that's just the truth the stats, record, and numbers say so. It's Jalen Green team.
Whitmore Will Be one of The great scorers of The next generation
I still think Houston ends up trading green.
Ime udoka made jaylen brown and tatum work.he will make sengun and green work.
Sengun plays a whole different style he's slow. While Brown and Tatum both played fast so it's different
@@dre7147 they will adjust to each other’s game. Ime will make it work.
green and sengun cant play together
@@luckychukwuma3822 No it will never work. Just trade Sengun and get some pieces to put around Green. And the team will be good.
@@itherif123 who told u that. Ime udoka?
This is the most idiotic take on the Rockets, Jalen Green was playing great the last 10 games. And now you are saying he is the cornerstone rather than Sengun who’s consistently proved in the last 3 seasons? 😂
You clearly didn't listen
I can believe all the break them up talk so trash
This is dumb. Its not a problem 🤦🏾♂️. They just played their first season under Udoka its a learning curve its not impossible for them to gel.
lets see if they can beat the dallas then we can talk .....
The rockets have had a problems ever since Yao went down in the 09 playoffs
Houston, the NBA and the Warriors have a problem.
This is Udoka s problem , He can solve this
Trade Sengun. This is so easy. Green needs a spacing center
Time to fly Alpe..no need to stay in houssies
Easy teams 😂
Watch him come back and they lose😂that’ll be so sad
A three-level scorer who's in the 1% tile of athleticism in the NBA, Or an undersized big that can't play defense or space the floor. Sengun's potential ceiling is All-Star. Jalen's is face of the league not just the Rockets.
Except the defense was better with Sengun and was top 7 all season before he went down
@@vaudou_ that's not saying much cuz he's a horrible defender. He has way too many holes in his game to try to build a team around. The whole team is playing better without him it should tell you something
@@bigpain76 Except he's not a horrible defender just like Jalen isn't a horrible defender. Low effort people who don't watch the games say that. Sengun isn't a good drop defender because he doesn't have a massive wingspan. He's an excellent blitzing player at the level. He was that since he was a rookie. The Rockets played at the level against Sacramento and destroyed everything they wanted to do until Sengun had to take a rest. Watch the games. The Rockets are playing worse competition without him.
@@vaudou_He's horrible Gtfoh lol!!!! It don't make a difference the whole team is playing better without Alpi. They need to try to move him. The way they are playing is a visual protest against Alpi
@@bigpain76 So you're one of those trolls who doesn't actually watch Rockets games past highlights then. Got it. You don't get a top 7 defense all season and have one of the best defensive starting lineups in the league with Sengun being "horrible" on defense. Was Jalen making up that difference? No. Was Jabari? No. That's why the defense is worse with Sengun out against worse teams. The Rockets were playing basketball like this before Sengun went out. They just were playing playoff teams and not the Wizards, Blazers or Jazz without Lauri.
Off ne saçma tartışmalar.Rockets taraftarı Alpereni istemiyor çünkü jg ile kumar oynayıp amerikali oyuncu fanatizmi yapıyorlar. Alpi kesinlikle başka takıma gitmeli. Sanki takım ilk 5 de😂 Alperenin yeteneğini jg e tercih edip hayal kırıklığına devam edebilirsiniz . Alpi usagum yürü kim tutar seni😂
