46 comments

1. Still think Capela's high level utility is being downplayed

2. KD , Reed and Segun cannot play together. Segun , Amen , Bari and Tari are the group of guys that plays defense and team ball. Defense leads to offense.

3. ALPİ BRİNG THE COLOR GAME COURT..💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️

4. KD and Reed is the turnover crew as soon they came in the game yesterday I was like ohh noo. With KD and Reed on the bench we see the difference

5. Again this podcaster thinks Reed was the fix so I can’t him serious 😅

6. Sengun's best game ever! Literally historic stat line only Shaq, Hakeem, and the Admiral had ever put up those numbers

7. Maybe hes a "playoff Sengun" kind of player.

8. 😂😂😂😂 they beat a team that's way below 500 SMDH, rockets will be a first round exit 😂😂😂 facts, i would not even be talking about a game you are suppose to win, I keep saying it, rocket fans are desperate 😂😂😂😂 beat a team that above 500😂😂😂😂

9. Calling a 23 year old boy the Vintage? Lunacy.

10. You are correct Jackson. Aaron's +41 is the best +/- for the Rockets this season.
    Previous one was KD's +37 in the 140-116 W against Portland on November 14th.

11. sengune impressive on defense and offense tonight. Gave me hope

12. Sengun needs to leave for his good and his future.

13. It was very good in terms of the fact that KD, the player of the top 5, was the 2nd person with the least playing time and the harmony of the young players Jabari, Tari and Amen, led by Alpi, showed how to play a team game. Last year, we saw games similar to those in which Alpi took responsibility. Alpi literally said, "Hey old man, step aside for a while and watch us." I repeat what I said from the beginning, it is KD who spoils the team's chemistry and Udoka who helps this. After taking the responsibility that Alpi gave him last season and at the beginning of this season and giving it to KD (if you remember, what happened after Alpi said in one of the interviews, "We want to lead the team with KD and show good games"), the ambience of the team was spoiled, we watched unstable matches, we saw games lost at the last moment, unfortunately. If it were not for KD, this team would still be in the top 6. I think KD is not a gain but a loss.

14. Sengun has played great since coming back from injury. He’ll have one bad game and half the fan base will talk about how much he sucks and we should trade him.

15. Sengun needs to maintain this level of play for us to compete!

16. Great, dominant win. But two things concern me. First is simply that it's too little too late. The Rockets squandered so many games they should've won(including 2 on this road trip) that they're basically stuck in 5th or 6th place. They ain't catching the Lakers. And the Nuggets have a joke of a schedule left. Yes, they face the Thunder twice and the Spurs once, but a couple of those are their final two games of the season and OKC and San Antonio may have nothing to play for if their seedings have been determined already.

    Second is that in the last couple games, Ime is starting to give extended minutes to his preferred 5-man unit of Alpi, Jabari, Amen, Tari, and KD. And it's been well documented that this group is 9-9 on the season when they start. I'm terrified that Ime being the ignorant, stubborn man he is who's obsessed with wings will revert to that starting lineup as we head into the playoffs. And it'll lead to the same predictable outcome it has all season.

17. Jackson Why always criticize the coach's choices even when everything is going well? If it were that easy to be a coach and make obvious choices, we'd all be in Udoka's shoes. You say Reed should have been in the starting lineup since 50 games ago. Do you forget that there was a time when Houston had the best offense in the league? The offensive problems started with Tari Eason's decline. But you don't make changes like that as soon as something goes wrong; you have to be patient. These are human beings, not machines. You all criticized Jabari Smith's rough patches, but now that he's playing well, no one says he should be on the bench. You also said recently that Mike Malone or Eric Spo might do better offensively with this roster. Do I need to remind you of Miami's problems and their current ranking? Every team has its own problems. Houston might even make a good playoff run against all odds.

18. Well Jackson I realised u pass reed maybe time to talk about his defence ?!?

19. Sengun need to play like this more often he can play he just needs to be more consistent.

20. I still see this Rockets team 4/5 seed much i would like that they play the lakers first round cuz i know they really can beat the lakers. i cant change now the Rockets will beat the lakers first round

21. I remember MJ talking about Hakeem, and how he did everything including steals. Today, Sengun played like Hakeen, he did everything everywhere all at once.

22. Did the vibes look off this game ? 😂😂 I hate that narrative with a passion

23. Rockets will peak at the right time book it 😅

24. Just keep talking about trade Sengun. Low iq fans deserve Gianniss x KD duo. I hope they trade him as soon as possible.

25. It’s a make or miss league. They hit their 3s and that’s why they won. Point blank period. This teams defense is fueled by their offense. When they’re missing 3s they lose discipline on defense

26. For alp since he’s a big ankle and back lingering injury makes him play maybe 30% of himself cause he might not feel to much pain but it’s his muscles not able to give him any lift that he needs to if he’s going to play good. A healthy alp I think he’s about 80 now with a team that can finally shoot average is very dangerous to anyone

27. Also, it wasn’t Fifth Element, it was Zoolander where Will Ferrell said that.

28. The whole team played with energy from start to finish. This was the first complete game I have watched in a long time …

29. Alpi should ask for a trade next year if KD remains in the team. Or KD decides to become a reasonable person who does not spread poision to the team mates.

30. Reed needs to learn perimeter defense

31. Alpi plays like yo-yo

32. They are simply better running through alpi, using modern motion, and a faster pace, with alpi, amen, jabari and reed.
    Now they need an athletic combo guard. But the only suitable one in this draft is Kingston Flemings, so they better be willing to trade all those extra picks. Because every other option is either much worse or much more expensive

33. They shot 44 3s. That’s what we wanna see every night, that’s what gonna open the lane for Alpi and that’s what gonna make other teams respect Rockets 3s shooting even if they miss some. Other teams haven’t respected Rockets 3pt shooting not bcos they can’t make them but bcos they know the Rockets won’t take much of them.

34. This is what the Rockets should have been doing all season long against weaker opponents. It's even more depressing now, with playoffs around the corner.

35. Mark my words, Alpi will be the only Rocket who fights for something every game in the playoffs. He is in the zone, he feels good about his body, he’s in shape at the right time of the season.

36. Close the season with this version of alpi. Rockets can get to the finals 🚀🚀🚀🚀

37. Trade KD

38. Team will find its way when the basketball god KD descends from sky and behaves like a human and play just in a contributing way.

39. Wrong I MO per usual. The players are up and down to much to deserve starter minutes. Ime has to pull the plug to play the what’s possible not what’s entitled. This ain’t development league. It’s winning time. Remember? You fired Silas and cheered calling it it culture killing.

40. Sengun is back!!!!!!!

41. Is DFS being shut down? Looks like JT is taking his spot.

42. Breace yourself.
    Playoff Şengün is coming… 👊👊

43. umarım Alpi boston a gider,houston denen sirk ve taraftarlıktan nasibini alamamış houston taraftarı layığını bulur,Alpi kırılmadık rekor bırakmadı genç pivot kategorisinde,ve aynı Alpi nba de boyalı alanın kralı,umarım houston ondan mahrum kalır,zaten layığınızı buldunuz udoka denen çapsızla ve kd denen toksikle,daha kötüsünü bulur ve alır houston,başka büyük belalara yelken açar houston,houston gm ve koç görünümlü eğitim çavuşu ve basketboldan anlamayan seyircisi bunu hak ediyor

44. There’s some people trying hard to create a division between KD and Alpi. And I admit I was very critical of Sengun in some point of this season especially with his perimeter shooting. BUT, I have to speak the truth and the truth is that Sengun is a very especial player with a real potencial and the tools to become a big time superstar. Saying that, for me the duo of KD and Sengun has showed us in some small lapses including versus good teams that they are an offensive letal weapon when they are on the same page. I think and I will keep insisting that the problems on offense is because of poor coaching and not the players. For me that duo is enough to demolish any team on the offensive side and you can see it in some lapses but for me the bad offensive sketch of this coaching staff is limiting this duo’s potencial.

45. Listening to overweight non athletic guy critique… thee most elite athletes in the world is unfair 😢 ….remember this is the 1st yr for this bunch up/downs are guaranteed

46. Rockets should claim Jaden Ivey to solve their point guard woes. – Bulls waive Jaden Ivey after he called NBA's Pride Month celebration 'unrighteousness'
