@@straightmoney6170 I agree with you brother, but most All-Star games are about players that are leading scores and not all about winning. You can see by the way this guy plays he hates losing.
Amen Thompson on his block on Mobley: "Nah, come on, I do that!" Amen's improvement from week to week throughout this entire season has been unreal! I knew he would be great, but I didn't expect this so soon.
Amen Thompson reminds me of that Grade exemption kid who's 3 years older than his peers playing 10 and under AAU basketball. Kid has crazy fast twitch muscles, is faster, jumps higher , anticipates better than the other kids and you're going wtf. This is not fair.
İ am from Turkey so l am big alperen’s fan but amen is a different player!!! Amazing and he is everywere and nice personalty lıke j.g and amen. İ think all of team are so good!!!!
He’ll most likely be a victim of the numbers game. Because it will be a matter of “To put him on, who do you take off?” That happens to a few players every season.
Jaret Allen will have nightmares before the next Rockets game. NBA has an Alpi problem. Not to take anything away from Amen, but he beneifted a lot from Alpi getting all the atention.
Protecting the team, listening the wise critics starting Amen in the first 5, including Cam in the core squad, Alpi's determination for winning teammates and winning games for his team, finally no one concentrates to fill statsheet everybody works for the team so they are getting closer every day to their first ring.
Amen Thompson is just so damn good. You can’t take him off the starting lineup his versatility is just insane his passing his athleticism his defense. He just makes the starters so much better. Especially with Jalen Green Amen and his versatility allows Jalen Green to play looser faster and have more confidence I love Jabari and Dillion but one of those two needs to go to the bench. Amen is too valuable to be on the bench he needs to be with the starters. Also yeah Sengun dominanted Allen and Mobley this should put an exclamation point to the coaches that he should be an all star this year. Also Jalen had an efficient scoring night and it was a quite efficient night this is what we like to see from him This was a great win and hopefully we can finish this road trip strong
I would argue that Dillan needs to be on the bench but the politics of that might not be so good. I'm kind of worried that he will not handle it super well and also Ime really loves the guy so I don't know he will be on the bench until next year.

I really like the Rockets having been a fan since they moved to Houston. I wish all the media members especially local would stop putting players against each other. They are a team and they win together and lose games together.
Jackson, next time you go on a Locked on NBA group chat, don't let those dudes disrespect. I really hope we make it at least to the WCF so we can debate if they really belong there or not.
Alpi got everything he wanted in this game for himself and his teammates! Period! His gravity opened up paint for the rest of the team. Deflections, tapping the rebounds, box-outs screens, hockey assists are not in the main stat sheet.
no other team has a legit young depth like the rockets... they remind me of the loaded thunder team that was also stacked with their own picks (8) in the KD Westbrook Harden era...
Yesterday proved that the Rockets are a legit team because we finally figured out how to break a zone defense, which had always been our biggest weakness. The Cavs threw everything they had at us, but we stayed composed and found a way to prevail.
@@42killacYou think they spent 2 days breaking down tape on the cavs zone ? Wahaha, man you gotta smokin fentanyl. They just played them, and won, a few days ago.
NBA the Rockets are here if you didn’t already know! We started their 3 game skid now we’re the only team to beat them and OKC this season. We are a problem for everyone 🤘🏿🤘🏿🚀🚀
Herkesin derdi. Evet bu çok doğru bir tespit. Geleni gideni tokatlayan bir takım olduk. Ve bu rakiplerin bize daha ciddi bakmalarına ve hata yapmalarına neden oluyor.
Amen could play the center position, because that’s how versatile he is as a player. The rockets should play through him because his ability to find open teammates on the court is impressive.
Tony gsw had draymond green and they have rings. So amen will be center and what about curry and klay. Is there any place that you can find second curry and klay ???? 😂
It feels great to be a Rockets fan. I'm hoping for a story like the Warriors or Nuggets, where a dynasty is built through drafts and development. I believe I'm witnessing the beginning of that journey and hoping they can win a championship or two.
Yeah almost no back spin on his shot. It looks incredibly flat which will never get you friendly rolls or a good shot arc that softens the shot up even more. If he learns how to shoot, we are looking at Joker 2.0.
Great win. And I'm still in the boat that they're not true contenders just yet but mannnnnn it's getting harder and harder to defend that argument. The depth on this roster is ridiculous
@@chucksheppard5927 Exactly. If they simply could shoot slightly better, like 2-3 more shots made per game they would be right up there with OKC and Boston.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the lineup and chemistry once Jabari Smith is healthy again. Amen Thompson is playing so well and he helps the team in so many different ways. I guess it's a good problem to have? I think it's going to be very difficult to remove Thompson from the starting 5.
The Rockets should not trade any of the young talents. They must wait for a free-agent star/super star who want to join them. If the rockets players chemistry and consistency complement each other, they can build a dynasty. What they need to improve more is their consistency on outside shootings. Inside the perimeter, they can adjust thru Alpi's play-making talent.
alperen'in geçen seneki çıkışı ve takımın en iyi oyuncu ünvanını jalen gren'den alması, houston'ın jalen fanlarının hiç hoşuna gitmedi ve alperen nefretini körükledi. hele de şimdi alpi all star olup jalen olamazsa o zaman seyredin siz asıl şenliği.
@@laluna6245 Rocket macina gittim, forma giyenlerin %80'i Jalen formasiyla gelmis, ekranlarda vote for Jalen yaziyordu all star icin. Jalen Amerikali ve 2. sira secimi. Onun yildiz olmasini isteyen cok var. Alpi tirnaklariyla kaziyarak geldi buraya, yeterli saygiyi gormuyor.
I completely disagree however yes he is on the perfect team. The other players on the court can space the floor better and thanks to Fred and Alpi's great passing it works insanely well. That and Steven Adams is also a perfect fit with Amen. Together they dominate the boards and pass to each other so well that it's scary!
He doesn't even really have to on this team. The other players on the team operate in that outside space, while Amen dominates inside. He's a perfect fit for this team rn.
if Houston got five Amen Thompsons to put each Amen Thompson in each position , they would win the title every year. Nobody would ever defeat this team. What I mean is Center: Amen Power Forward: Amen Shooting Forward: Amen Shooting Guard: Amen Point Guard: Amen
@@chucksheppard5927 I'm quite serious bro. Amen is the true definition of a bionic man. Even if he runs non stop I've never seen Amen sweating once . I admit that Tari is as athletic as Amen. But when Tari plays few minutes, he's constantly sweating and out of breath. Amen is out of this planet.
In a perfect world Amen would start at the 3 as long as Jalen and Fred are healthy. Jabari is such an important player for what the Rockets do on D and since he's been out of the lineup the Rockets D has falling off a good bit. The problem is since Amen has come into the Rocket's lineup their offense is now elite and top 1-3. That is a good tradeoff come playoff time, when you have to actually trade baskets with the best offensive units in the league that are also top 10 in D.
it's frustrating to see Al-P leave so many points at the FT line night after night. I know it's nitpicking after the team beat a team that's on pace for 66 wins twice... but man I don't get it. Practice FT's!!!!
I agree that Jabari should be starting at the 4, because his size, athleticism and ability to space the floor is so important. That being said I'd like to see Dillan Brooks coming of the bench instead of Jabari. That being said Jabari will almost surely be worked back in slowly and I expect him to start eating up Dillan's minutes because he's not really playing too well rn.
Stats don’t tell the whole story. Every lead vanished when Senguin went into the game. His pick and roll defense is a huge liability and his offensive output doesn’t make up for it. That only changes if he can shoot 3s and his form needs alot of work.
1 week ago Jalen was the best player this week amen is the best player. There 2 key players in this team. Alpi and Fred. I am not saying Amen is not a good player. He is very very good player with star potential but the meal is not ready yet he needs to cook more. Give him a chance. Having a good team is much better then having a superstar. What would be be the case Jordan without pippen or rodman. Basketball is a team sport you need 4 wheels and a steering. At this game amen showed outstanding performance but what about others. Without adams could you beat cavs ?? Nahh or tate tari sengun jalen. When you see flashy moves you start saying he is a star bla bla .. just be patient. I hope this team will be hack of a team if you let them to be.
I aint gonna lie y'all, we have an absolute dog pound squad. We're an off night for anyone tryi to play us. The only teams in the league we dont matchup well with are Sacramento, Boston, and OKC. Thats it tbh. We have a great shot to beat anyone else any night. We dont need no ryoe of trades any time soon. Look at Boston and OKC they stuck with everyone and theyre doing great so is OKC. Look at minnesota, Dallas, and Philly all traded a bunch of players and they all suck rn. Please Rockets dont eff this up. Youre one job is to save money and spread it as evenly as possible for all of our boy kings. We absolutely need ALp, Amen, JG, Bari, Tari, Cam, and Reed In that order. Pay them for sure. No supermaxes just 4 max deals and 3 high deals. Like 3 years 90mil or something like that. If Reed, Cam, and Tari dont like that well then I dont know what to tell yall. We can either win with yall or yall can go somewhere and start over. I want everyone on this roster to be here in 7 years. I smell a chip within the next 3 years honest take when they all hit approx. 25 or 26 yo. We're gonna be great. Like when Sam Presti had Reggie Jack, D fish, Russ, Harden, Thabo, Perk, KD, and Iblaka all on the same team. That is where the Rockets are right now. We truly like Jackson said the OKC thunder like 2 years ago. We are poised to become and stay truly the second most lethal force in the West. Sacramento, and Grizz are right behind and Dallas right behind them. We are an excellent team with excellent chemistry with no egos and a dog mentality. Hopefully no one gets a big head or gets booty hurt and we can keep all the guys well into their 30s. It would be unprecedented. A team drafts well and all picks remain for the entirety of their careers and the money ends up working out for everyone. Also Id like to give a big told ya so and eff u to anyone that wanted Harden back. We would be in 8th or 9th place right now because him and Ime along with the rest of the team are not on the same page and refuse to work it out. Harden would have had Ime fired just like every other talent we brought in to work with and surround him with. He one of the worse charcter and integrity players to ever lace the up. He played with and blamed: Rick Adelman, Mike Dantoni, JB Bickerstaff, and K Mchale. He ended up getting most of them fired. He played with Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Jeremy Lin, Marcus Thornton, Ty Lawson, Joe Johnson, Corey Brewer, Trevor Ariza, Lou Williams, Carmelo, Chris Paul, Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones, Marcus Morris, Pat Beverley, Aaron Brooks, Robert Covington, Omri Casspi, Omer Asik, Jason Terry, Clint Capela, Michael Beasley, Montrez Harrell, Eric Gordon, Nene, PJ tucker, Kenneth Faried, Brandon Knight, Austin Rivers, Isaiah Hartenstein, Ben Mclemore, Demarre Carrol, Jeff Green, Tyson Chandler. Victor Oladipo, J wall, D cousins, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and all of those guys were the reason he couldnt win a championship. Im so ecstatic that we didnt give him a massive contract to return and play out lazily in houston his remaining NBA years. We're good now. We have a coach for the century that can really keep these guys focused. Lets go rockets.
Personally I would like to see Houston not even have an AS this year. Let them get some rest and instead increase the size of the chips on their shoulders. We want rings not AS appearances!
Your so bias you like sengun and hate on Jalen a lot I can watch almost always praise sengun even with bad game while if jalen had bad game you crusify him that is why some fans hate on Jalen a lot
We already have one of the best shooters in the game. He's only a rookie, but if he starts ballin out he could be a nightmare teams can't afford to focus on.
Sounds very stupid. He's a solid part of our lineup and the stats bear it out. The Rockets have been struggling to stop teams on defense but have of course become a top tier offensive unit with Amen in his spot. If anything Trade Dillan. Amen is now that dude: a tough mofo that doesn't take crap and is now our main enforcer.
and yet they send him 2 or 3 man to guard him and he had 26 points last night. i can't imagine if he wasn't slow and predictable. he would score 40 than.
Very good idea, tradr jalen amen and sengun and for 60 years old MJ and 40 years old Lebron add some KD and what about another micheal jordan as a spare.????
Alpi is not good in the clutch or against zone. He holds on to the ball way too long and can’t make free throws when it counts. Stop protecting this man and give him the same treatment yall give Jalen Green
and yet he scored 2 free throws while garland missed and he made us win over clevland. you are just jalen fan boys who just can't bear amen and alpi better player than jalen. jalen is a good scorer, that's all. he can't run or lead this team.
@ that must have been the one game you watched this season cause that’s the only time he has hit a clutch free throw. He has consistently missed free throws all season like I said and holds on to the ball too long and gets trapped and makes bad reads. Just like Jalen he needs to move the ball quicker when he gets doubled
i like jalen, but hate jalen fan boys. in fact jalen is going much better this year. he doesn't push the game as much as last year. but the fan boys just hate for the idea of alpi being all-star and jalen may not.
I don’t think I believe that. Even if he was at like 45% shooting I think he’d be an all star. It was just that month at the beginning of the season when he struggled that’s holding him back from being an all star. I think this season he will be an alternate if one of the reserves gets injured around the all star game
@straightmoney6170 how come? actually Sengun struggles too. Don't you remember. And lately he has been inconsistent but it never talked about. They always gave an Excuse whenever Sengun struggles. And to Jalen he gots a lot of haters more than Love. That's the truth. Paolo banchero misses a lot of games but still got a lots of votes from Orlando Fans. Rockets fans too much focus On Sengun but they overlooked The Efforts of Jalen Green.
If Udoka and Alpi-Amen-Jalen stay in Houston for 4-5 more years, they will win a championship ring without trading Butler/Fox/Booker level superstar
If amen started from the beginning of the season, he’d be an all star. Not even a question
For sure! The man is averaging a double-double as a starter with elite defense.
He’ll be one of those players who win championships and never make an All-Star team.
@ no way bro, he’s averaging 17, 11, and 4 as a starter with 2 steals and 2 blocks on 55% shooting😭 those are better numbers than sengun

I hope this team will be hack of a team if you let them to be.
I aint gonna lie y'all, we have an absolute dog pound squad. We're an off night for anyone tryi to play us. The only teams in the league we dont matchup well with are Sacramento, Boston, and OKC. Thats it tbh. We have a great shot to beat anyone else any night.
We dont need no ryoe of trades any time soon. Look at Boston and OKC they stuck with everyone and theyre doing great so is OKC. Look at minnesota, Dallas, and Philly all traded a bunch of players and they all suck rn. Please Rockets dont eff this up. Youre one job is to save money and spread it as evenly as possible for all of our boy kings. We absolutely need ALp, Amen, JG, Bari, Tari, Cam, and Reed In that order. Pay them for sure. No supermaxes just 4 max deals and 3 high deals. Like 3 years 90mil or something like that. If Reed, Cam, and Tari dont like that well then I dont know what to tell yall. We can either win with yall or yall can go somewhere and start over. I want everyone on this roster to be here in 7 years. I smell a chip within the next 3 years honest take when they all hit approx. 25 or 26 yo. We're gonna be great. Like when Sam Presti had Reggie Jack, D fish, Russ, Harden, Thabo, Perk, KD, and Iblaka all on the same team. That is where the Rockets are right now. We truly like Jackson said the OKC thunder like 2 years ago. We are poised to become and stay truly the second most lethal force in the West. Sacramento, and Grizz are right behind and Dallas right behind them. We are an excellent team with excellent chemistry with no egos and a dog mentality. Hopefully no one gets a big head or gets booty hurt and we can keep all the guys well into their 30s. It would be unprecedented. A team drafts well and all picks remain for the entirety of their careers and the money ends up working out for everyone.
Also Id like to give a big told ya so and eff u to anyone that wanted Harden back. We would be in 8th or 9th place right now because him and Ime along with the rest of the team are not on the same page and refuse to work it out. Harden would have had Ime fired just like every other talent we brought in to work with and surround him with. He one of the worse charcter and integrity players to ever lace the up. He played with and blamed:
Rick Adelman, Mike Dantoni, JB Bickerstaff, and K Mchale. He ended up getting most of them fired.
He played with Dwight Howard,
Josh Smith, Jeremy Lin, Marcus Thornton, Ty Lawson, Joe Johnson, Corey Brewer, Trevor Ariza, Lou Williams, Carmelo, Chris Paul, Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones, Marcus Morris, Pat Beverley, Aaron Brooks, Robert Covington, Omri Casspi, Omer Asik, Jason Terry, Clint Capela, Michael Beasley, Montrez Harrell, Eric Gordon, Nene, PJ tucker, Kenneth Faried, Brandon Knight, Austin Rivers, Isaiah Hartenstein, Ben Mclemore, Demarre Carrol, Jeff Green, Tyson Chandler. Victor Oladipo, J wall, D cousins, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and all of those guys were the reason he couldnt win a championship.
Im so ecstatic that we didnt give him a massive contract to return and play out lazily in houston his remaining NBA years.
We're good now. We have a coach for the century that can really keep these guys focused. Lets go rockets.
Personally I would like to see Houston not even have an AS this year.
Let them get some rest and instead increase the size of the chips on their shoulders. We want rings not AS appearances!
I think amen will be an Allstar before Jalen
Really sad how we’re doing this good and all media is taking about are the lakers… nba hates our coach
Your so bias you like sengun and hate on Jalen a lot I can watch almost always praise sengun even with bad game while if jalen had bad game you crusify him that is why some fans hate on Jalen a lot
Based on the pace of the allstar game, Senguin would be winded 😂
We need to trade brooks and some 2nd round draft Picks for a pure shooter
Nope, Brooks is valuable to the team!
@@anewguy08agreed!
hell no! we need his veteran leadership!
We already have one of the best shooters in the game. He's only a rookie, but if he starts ballin out he could be a nightmare teams can't afford to focus on.
@@chucksheppard5927he can’t get no minutes
Sengun had a bad defensive game so the entire team had a bad defensive performance… 🙄
Stop it.
Sengun deserves better franchise
U guys useless lol
@@destroycovidCleo Alpi deserves better Turkish fans, you guys suck.
Jabar smith traded
Sounds very stupid. He's a solid part of our lineup and the stats bear it out. The Rockets have been struggling to stop teams on defense but have of course become a top tier offensive unit with Amen in his spot.
If anything Trade Dillan. Amen is now that dude: a tough mofo that doesn't take crap and is now our main enforcer.
Cavs started catch up in 4th when adams was benched. Shengun slow and predictable. Holding ball 5-10 seconds . Sell him and picks for book and durant
and yet they send him 2 or 3 man to guard him and he had 26 points last night. i can't imagine if he wasn't slow and predictable. he would score 40 than.
Very good idea, tradr jalen amen and sengun and for 60 years old MJ and 40 years old Lebron add some KD and what about another micheal jordan as a spare.????
Alpi is not good in the clutch or against zone. He holds on to the ball way too long and can’t make free throws when it counts. Stop protecting this man and give him the same treatment yall give Jalen Green
Shut up you hater! racist!
and yet he scored 2 free throws while garland missed and he made us win over clevland. you are just jalen fan boys who just can't bear amen and alpi better player than jalen. jalen is a good scorer, that's all. he can't run or lead this team.
@ that must have been the one game you watched this season cause that’s the only time he has hit a clutch free throw. He has consistently missed free throws all season like I said and holds on to the ball too long and gets trapped and makes bad reads. Just like Jalen he needs to move the ball quicker when he gets doubled
@@travisdemas8015black people are racist as the jews now 😂
Actually Alpi is pretty good in clutch time according to stats.
He’s a good player but Sengun is definitely not a real all star
He earned that all star nod last year but the nba wont let him become one. this year he's definitely deserves it.
He didn’t earn that nod last year. He wasn’t top 2 at his position. Jokic and Sabonis were better. He had a good year but not an all star season
Agree
🧢
Disagreed!
i like jalen, but hate jalen fan boys. in fact jalen is going much better this year. he doesn't push the game as much as last year. but the fan boys just hate for the idea of alpi being all-star and jalen may not.
Alpi is not an All Star lol
Yes, better.He is 8th in the MVP ladder
You don't know shit about basketball, apparently.
Because the whole country of Turkey votes for him. Let’s be real, he’s not the 8th best player in the NBA. It’s a popularity contest
@@htownbigsteve6358You don’t know shit bruh. Since when does the 3rd best center in the conference make an all star team? Never
@@darksidedjcatastropheMVP ladder has nothing to do with votes, NBA writers decide it. Like it or not, Alpi is our best player by far.
I think Jalen will never be an all Star if he plays in Houston.
I don’t think I believe that. Even if he was at like 45% shooting I think he’d be an all star. It was just that month at the beginning of the season when he struggled that’s holding him back from being an all star. I think this season he will be an alternate if one of the reserves gets injured around the all star game
I don't think Jalen gives a fux!
It’s hard to be an all star with Anthony Edwards and Booker at your position
@straightmoney6170 how come? actually Sengun struggles too. Don't you remember. And lately he has been inconsistent but it never talked about. They always gave an Excuse whenever Sengun struggles. And to Jalen he gots a lot of haters more than Love. That's the truth. Paolo banchero misses a lot of games but still got a lots of votes from Orlando Fans. Rockets fans too much focus On Sengun but they overlooked The Efforts of Jalen Green.
@@darksidedjcatastrophe Cause Rockects is not a powerhouse Basketball fans.
Go Rockets!!!
Go Rockets!
Go Rockets!
Go Rockets 🎉🎉🎉
