The fact that he struggled as bad as he did this year is a blessing in disguise. The best possible lineup I think would be Amen, Jalen, Tari, Jabari, and Sengun. We gotta think about them at 24-25 this team will be unstoppable. I pray we don't lose anybody.
You would need like 4 of those guys to make significant significant significant significant significant 3 point shooting jumps for that to be realistic
Hats off to JG man. Really happy for him that he's doing well these past few games despite all the off court stuff that he's been having. I know we have been saying this all year, all his career even, but I hope this will be a turning point for him to becoming a legit star.
Before anything else, thank you. I like your show. I think Jalen is also improving in his assists. It just doesn't show up because of the poor shooting of rockets. I think he is also the primary reason why Jock Landale is having a very good contribution in the offense. Finishing through contact is really better for Jelan. I think they should ask him to always pick his man from inbound. He mind wanders when he have to wait for his man. I am so excited to see everyone back.
Great analysis - - - as usual. I can tell Jalen has been working on his game but his thin frame will always cap his potential. To be a legit starter in the NBA he's going to have to become a 37 or 38% three point shooter.
Ime wants him to concentrate more on defense concentrate on that but his offense suffer coz it's his first season to play both end on the floor plus ime adjust his game play more faster that benefit him so jalens game more effective
Nothing change , so far Jalen have shown from his 2 years in the league that he starts of the season slow but once it hits January or February he starts becoming a way better player
His social activity has to be monitored during parts of the season is post Christmas a lot of players get into slumps we need to see it not become so bad for this team. We would be in the playoffs if it wasn't for that slump. He needs to get in post all star break mode for the majority and of the season and really turn it up post all star break.
Jalen looks different. He shown some old tricks with confidence. His dribble iso have improved tremendously. He's finally learning to use his strengths and its actually his gravity he's earning thay will make any roller a threat, like harden was except jalen way faster. I like his pull ups lately. Snatch backs, because they're respecting his drive more
Playing “playoff basketball”, I agree. Refereeing is much in favor of that style after the ASB, and statistics+ Nba FO also confirmed that. What will happen when opponents will also playoff basketball in the actual playoffs is my next question. I am confident that we’ll get an answer next season.
I think Jalen is sustainable cuz he's getting the new structure that he's never had. Today's game is gonna be hell... they have size and can shoot BUT.... if we win ,we're in. This will definitely impact the rest of the way.... let's go Rockets
The difference that I see is that he seems to be able to use his change of pace to get open in traffic instead of just trying to use speed and jumping over everyone. He could do that in the "G" league but not against the elite rim protection he faces now. That is probably a sign of his learning from good coaching and should be sustainable. Go ROCKETS!!
Isn't this J Green third time doing this? Each season he's always plays better after the allstar break. Maybe he's an after allstar break type of player?
What changed? He's changed to a Daddy! I think he's just more involved in defense. Something he should have done on Day 1. But also, the teams they are beating are weaker teams so it is expected. When he was facing top teams, he was only efficient in 1 of 4 games. That is why even with a goo 5 game stretch, he is still 41% and 31%. It's gonna take more than 5 games to juice up those past 50 games.
This will be interesting. Jalen Green played better after the All-Star break his first 2 seasons also. Is he ever going to play well for a whole season?
He's 22 give it some time, Jalen will not be our best player, but he will be ungaurdable in the future. I'm more interested in what Tari will become. Sengun may be a MVP caliber player ppl sleep. Yeah, Jokic is better right now, but I think Sengun has a chance to be better at least as a defender, a low post scorer and passer, he is already more creative and athletic than Joker. We are like the Nuggets, but I think our core is definitely better at this stage than what the Nuggets had this early in their careers like Jamal Murray did not have 30-30 point games at 22, Joker was good, but Sengun is on par with his trajectory, MPJ isn't a good defender like Jabri and Tari is an unknown he has an elite motor, but he could be the claw and with that motor it's a problem. I haven't even mentioned Amen yet like we have goooood problems
I been told someone on here , Jalen only thrives when he is the focus of the offense ball in his hands, he not the best of playing off someone else , so when the game is running through Şengün he gone look how he's been looking
@@BlueBolt every year he's been the focus of the offense , this the first year Şengün been the focus n all year he's been looking horrible , lately where he's been the focus he's been killing 🤷🏾♂️
Man I can watch your videos anytime you upload your a basketball realest you have me looking at things I really suppose to look at from the players I like to watch my home town team. I be feeling like if they hire you as a coach in some way they got a million of them anyway I feel we can get the full potential out of these guys because you be breaking down the right stuff in your videos. Yours is the only ones I can watch the full video of without skipping them I be waiting for you to drop a video keep up the good work man. Me as a die hard rockets 🚀 fan supporting ya my guy. 🫡
It's hard for me to go all in on Jalen because he has fooled us like this before. Great insight on his pre and post all star break performance breakdown Frank. I don't believe we can make the play in. we simply allowed to many winable games to get away from us this season to overcome the setback. However pushing for the best possible record can benifit us in experience next year. While the progress didn't come as fast as we had hoped, we are seeing progress. Udoka's attempt to turn us around and set us on a winning path is finally bearing fruit. Also....while Jalen has been good lately Jabari has declined IMO. this man is 6 feet 11 inches and plays llike he is 5 feet 11 inches. he's clumsey, can't dribble to save his life and is soft as tissue paper defensively on the interior. his only contribution is rebounding and he is only average at that. a lot of focus has been on Jalen this year which allowed Jabari to fly under the radar, but his lack of growth has not gone unnoticed by me. if we are looking at trading someone he would be higher than Jalen in my book. we simply must have more production from this position than he is producing
I disagree with the statement that Jabari had lack of growth.. he may have grown the most on the court of all of our players. Bari was for a long stretch the worst player statistically in the nba.. he has been a positive for most of the year.. he has had slumps but I’m pleased with his development.
I don’t know he always turns it around only after the asb and when we are basically out of the playoffs , been like this for like 3 years already don’t we remember? 😅
When your videos come out! It makes my day better man! I love your breakdowns! And your honest opinions! Even if they don’t all the time add up to the same as me! You’re a great podcast/ UA-camr man! You got some sexual ahh into music tho!
I knew once alpy went out it was a prime opportunity for jalen. He thrives with touches. Think of when c.wood went out and when kpj went out last year. Night and day
Nothing has changed, it just happened that the current players coincided with an easy schedule. They even coincided with a period where even good teams dealt with injuries. By the way, another situation is that they didn't play exactly to prevent Alpi's game from shining even more. During the Allstar selection, JG almost couldn't make or didn't make any of the shots given by Alpi. If Alpi had been selected for Allstar, he would probably have cried out of ambition. In summary, I think there are meaningless team struggles within the team. These friends decided to play after it was too late. Most of these players have a mindset that cannot think like adults and appreciate the successful ones. Teenage attitudes are already expected from the G-League star. That's all, brother. You'll see what happens after the match with a real and powerful team. Let's see how far the fixture luck will go.
The Rockets have the 9th best home record in the league this season. I know they don't have Sengun, but I definitely do think they have a chance to beat the Cav's tonight. Amen is comin into a zone now on defense. I think him and Dillon can lock down Donovan Mitchel, and if Fred continues playing the way he's been playing recently, I think the Rocket's will win.
Green would have to show a year long stretch of not just efficient scoring but also that t effects team the team positively. Sengun always has some of the best on/off stats in the NBA. His impact is always huge on offense. Green still can be the dynamic partner to Sengun
Usman Garuba would be really good under Udoka Frank. i more faith in him than Landale. there's a reason why Warriors still didn't cut him. and remain on the team for long term. but yea Green had better teammates this season at least. but don't get me wrong. Garuba play off green well sometimes when they play together.
@@Lezahfire Exactly...well said. He has one of the fastest first steps to go with his speed. I like to see him playing a two man game with Sengun. He is becoming a better passer in that role and his speed to the basket is deadly. I don't like him as a traditional SG. I hope the Rockets draft Reed Sheppard. He is a 6' 3" 2-way combo guard with deadly shooting. We have that Nets' pick and assets to move up if needed.
Yeah we have played against a lot of teams that has no rim protection so it’s easy for Jalen to use his speed to get to the rim. I think he has gotten better at finishing through contact around the rim so that’s good. Aganist the Cavs I hope he can use the middies more. Because he still not good shooting the 3 so just use the mid range as your advantage. So yeah can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow Also Jalen is becoming a willing defender under Ime so that’s good to hear
Bro u literally said every team we played had no big men inside. Which is have the league ur being ridiculous. Everybody wanna hate on JG but he gonna shut all the haters up.. how bout talk bout what a bust Bari is? That’s the real question y no one is not throwing tantrums over his subpar play . Bari has no bag horrible hands and weak af.. n he was the #3 pick overall so what’s his excuse?.
Bari has the highest potential outside of maybe Amen with his physical attributes and skill-set. He definitely needs to work on his ball handling skills, and definitely needs to hit the weight room.. But all of them has something they need to work on, from Sengun shooting and no length, to Jalen driving decision making, Amen shooting, Cams tunnel vision.
Don't the rockets play and look so much better running up and down the court WITHOUT y'all King? Bari can now be unlocked, Jalen getting to paint is now unlocked...
SMH. Some how, some way I knew Frank was going to tie in the only reason Jalen is having a good stretch is due to the teams the Rockets are playing.....Bro, any team can be beaten. Its the NBA. Give him credit
Jalen Green is like a Toyota/Audi/Nissan --- Coupe class,, looks good is fun, destroys all mommy and grandpa cars. till a Lambo or something else Real Sportscar shows up. than u back to realty!
Sucks to say. But here goes another conspiracy theory once again going against the nba. There is NOOO way the nba is gonna let the “starless boring rockets” get thru to the playoffs over the warriors and lakers 😂
The fact that he struggled as bad as he did this year is a blessing in disguise. The best possible lineup I think would be Amen, Jalen, Tari, Jabari, and Sengun. We gotta think about them at 24-25 this team will be unstoppable. I pray we don't lose anybody.
You would need like 4 of those guys to make significant significant significant significant significant 3 point shooting jumps for that to be realistic
Cam is too much of a gem to be a bench player that’s the only problem i have with this line up
@@Aventsdoralso a significant power center
Tari should stay as 6th man. Cam will be the starter.
Hats off to JG man. Really happy for him that he's doing well these past few games despite all the off court stuff that he's been having. I know we have been saying this all year, all his career even, but I hope this will be a turning point for him to becoming a legit star.
Jalen and Jabari need to hit the weight room
Fr. Both of them skipping far too many leg days as well.
Fr tho they still young tho
@@juqual78how you gonna say jalen skipping leg day when he got that type vertical? 😂
Before anything else, thank you. I like your show. I think Jalen is also improving in his assists. It just doesn't show up because of the poor shooting of rockets.

I HAVE FAITH IN JG
Jalen is finally learning!!! Props to him👊🏽
Great analysis - - - as usual. I can tell Jalen has been working on his game but his thin frame will always cap his potential. To be a legit starter in the NBA he's going to have to become a 37 or 38% three point shooter.

Nothing change , so far Jalen have shown from his 2 years in the league that he starts of the season slow but once it hits January or February he starts becoming a way better player

I dont think people realize how great your analysis is. Thanks Frank.
I appreciate that!
Jalen looks different. He shown some old tricks with confidence. His dribble iso have improved tremendously. He's finally learning to use his strengths and its actually his gravity he's earning thay will make any roller a threat, like harden was except jalen way faster. I like his pull ups lately. Snatch backs, because they're respecting his drive more

Jalen Green is a superstar in the making, He on his way.

Remember when Lebron didn't have change for a dollar because he was always missing a 4th quarter?
As long as he shows up when it counts, im fine.

San Antonio have a big shotblocker wemby there plus phoenix have nurkic and eubanks both shotblocker also
Wemby was drawn out the paint by 5 out.. and he plays more help side than a drop big like Allen or Gobert
Started from the bottom 💪🏼
I say start bari at the 5. Allen is a mismatch if Sengun was playing too
I been told someone on here , Jalen only thrives when he is the focus of the offense ball in his hands, he not the best of playing off someone else , so when the game is running through Şengün he gone look how he's been looking
Thats just straight up not true. He has had the same stats for 3 years in a row. This is the only year Sengun has been the offensive hub

So if it’s fatigue then what’s to stop this happening again next season
The Rockets have the 9th best home record in the league this season. I know they don't have Sengun, but I definitely do think they have a chance to beat the Cav's tonight. Amen is comin into a zone now on defense. I think him and Dillon can lock down Donovan Mitchel, and if Fred continues playing the way he's been playing recently, I think the Rocket's will win.
There is no play in with warriors and lakers at 9 & 10. Know the league needs that viewership
with Green improvement (IF he increase efficiency as well), you think he'll be #1 heart of this team? or its still better to stick with Sengun?
I think no matter how elite the big man is they will always need a perimeter partner like Jokic and Murray .. Shaq and Kobe.. etc..
Green would have to show a year long stretch of not just efficient scoring but also that t effects team the team positively. Sengun always has some of the best on/off stats in the NBA. His impact is always huge on offense.
Green still can be the dynamic partner to Sengun
It’s called patience… and let him get used to the build of the how the team is
İ think jalen more focus drive to the rim and mid range not 3's, 3's will come eventualy. Put him film room all summer to watch SGA.
Usman Garuba would be really good under Udoka Frank. i more faith in him than Landale. there's a reason why Warriors still didn't cut him. and remain on the team for long term. but yea Green had better teammates this season at least. but don't get me wrong. Garuba play off green well sometimes when they play together.
