So Alpi had two triple doubles last season and 29 double doubles. It gets more fun if you dig deeper.. 14 of these double doubles with: • 7 assists: 5 games • 8 assists: 6 games • 9 assists: 3 games 🤷♂️🤷♂️ imagine if the boy had real shooters around..
Senhub is finally back we been wanting this for years but Slias didn’t want to or had no idea how to use Sengun and Ime was using him for post ups and on the elbow. Using Sengun to run the offense at the top of the key is perfect because if guys are cutting he can fine them with his passing and if guys double him he can find guys at the perimeter for the wide open three and obviously he can get his own shots. Ime is using Sengun skillsets and taking advantage of the athletic guys we have on this team and it’s great to see. If Ime continues to use Senhub so to speak our offense is going to be so deadly
At this point, if any ‘rocket fan’ keeps talking about trading, ‘consolidating assets’, or star hunting for Giannis or anyone like that, you aren’t a fan The Rockets are literally building a dynasty built on the Core 7. These dudes aren’t even 23 years old yet. We’re about to go on an Astros level run
You nailed it. I don’t think we need to get rid of ANYONE right now. No trades, no consolidating, no expensive “stars.” We have a solid unit thats working well together with a defense that’s just slaying teams. If we stay healthy we are contenders. They say the sky is the limit, well not for a ROCKET! 🚀
The difference is the NBA has a salary cap. I can't see the Rockets being able to pay all 7 players, plus there really isn't enough minutes for all seven. They can't keep sending players like Cam Whitmore to the G league when he can start on about half the other teams in the league. They can sit tight for now, but by next year trades and consolidation will need to be made.
@Jf FACTS! The “trade for KD or Giannis talk is crazy”. To your point the similarities between the Astros and Rockets as far as home grown talent is enough to give you goosebumps. Green, Sengun, Smith, Eason, Amen, Cam, and most recently Sheppard…………. Marc Stein “the Rockets should trade for” these nuts! We good over here, he needs to stay out of Houston business 💯💯🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@Fetemart the rockets have the bird rights for their players. New CBA wants teams to pay their drafted players. The idea of trading away multiple ‘starters’ for another player from another team makes no sense. Fred, Dillion, and Adams are 30 years old. They’re not going to be taking minutes in 2 seasons. Nothing points to having to trade anyone. This is all low level media talk. No one is saying the Thunder have to trade away all their players. No one is saying the Cavs have to trade away their players. They’re saying this about the Rockets because that’s what they want the Rockets to do
@@Jfsgknd The CBA does allow you to retain players you draft, but it did not anticipate SEVEN players of top five lottery caliber for any single team. Even with Bird's rights, giving all of the remaining players contracts similar to JG's contract ($35M/yr) puts them at over $200 million. Waaaaaay over the second apron. And that assumes you sign NO ONE else on the team. It's just not realistic. At some point they will have to start paring down and consolidating.
Last night in the third quarter it hit me like a ton of bricks that this is a good team. We've havent had that in years....like, years n years. Then Ryan said it n i got kinda emotional, ngl. We have a few things working in our favor to start the season, namely our health and roster continuity. However, we also have the ability to completely transform and emerge in a way that no other team in our position can due to the youth and natural progression of our guys throughout the year. Tremendously exciting
Honestly, this Rockets team is going to be superbly dominant for years to come. Our defense is unbelievable. If they play like this nightly, nobody can handle them. We have a really amazing defense. The offense is seriously underrated. They can score with anybody.
I agree. If we keep this up we will easily have the best defense in the league. When our offense is on point it’s dangerous but it’s a bit uneven. I like how it’s shared and isn’t just one dude all the time like it was with Harden. On different nights different players can step up. We get a few too many shot clock violations and missed free throws than I would like but those aren’t huge issues.. everything else is looking great.
You know I was thinking about this very thing.The other day. These trends last for about 15ish years and then something that comes along to break that trend. Then teams pile on to copy the new trend. In the rocket's case, team basketball with a big man hub. Voracious team rebounding.
@@blaineindemaio696 I hope it works out for Rockets because the 3 point percentage has been really bad for Rockets anyway. But I don't think spamming threes will go away unless there's a rule change. Now some top teams seem to actually rush to spam a three within 10-15 seconds of play, trying to increase their number of attacks per game at the expense of giving more number of attacks to the opposing team while trying to stop them from making as many threes.
Bingo! Our defense and steady assault on the paint will nullify the wild variance of 3 point shooting and lead us to rings. Will ve the ones who end the warriors era officially
This team came from the days of K. Porter Junior and J. Green taking shots in turn in a your turn-my turn style street basketball games to displaying systematic and quality showcases worked out and executed according to a plan. In this type of system all good players shine and bring success to the team. No doubt Alperen started having triple doubles when Jabari and Fred started utilizing the dimes facilitated by Alperen.
I was becoming a Ime hater until last week due to lack of set plays in offense. I was criticising him not giving any roles to Jabari in previous video comments. Now i am glad i was slapped in the face. It was so fun to watch this version of rockets and their success to make those play immediately was beyond my expectations. Good job Ime.
Man it feels so good to watch my rockets play coming together and really balling now. It was ruff the past 4 years, but we here now on the up!!! Let's go rockets 🚀 🚀🚀
For me the team energy, intentions and tactics were as a real solid strong team. All players were perfect. We are happy to see Alpy’s new role and defensing better. But the team; van vleet, jabari, thompson, green, brooks, eason.. a great team❤🤍
Great job of the staff, self scouting...I wonder if they're listening to you. lol That's the Senhub. Prediction Alperen will break Dreams triple doubles. Can you get a quadruple Alpi?
Jalen’s mentality is shifting as he realizes he needs to impact the game beyond just scoring. However, team play doesn’t come naturally to him. Growing up as the star, always being told he’s the best, and taking all the shots made adjusting to an NBA playoff contender tough. Last night, we saw smart, beautiful basketball, and Jalen looked average, not like a $35 million player. Let’s focus on the process, but no player should hold us back this season.
Shout out to that sweet Rockets 🚀 Hawaiian 👕 Jackson also glad Ime finally using Jabari's size easy shots by the basket 🧺 and being involved down in the paint
as a rocket fan, I think we need certain shooters and more mobile and active players, such as a better Tari, around Alpi. Jabari is so static and Jalen ain't inspire confidence.
Good to see the Rockets fans are feeling good, for yall that almost hit the panic button and was coming For Ime Udoka.. Smh shame on Y'all for real.. Rockets 🚀 Strong, trust the foundation building of a formitable team and Culture thag could last for years to come and Not what we had before in the Harden era where we had great moment but only 1 chance we had to actually win the Chip and because we didnt build the right foundation Then and Culture everything fell apart because we havent had that in a Long time and Now we are actually doin it smart.. So true rockets fans just be patient and stay the course..
Great pod Jackson. remenber when I told you the Rockets would win 50 games this year? that prediction not sounding so crazy now is it? this team is taking a leap overall. remember when I said we are going to open some eyes this year? this is why I wanted us to STAY THE COURSE with this young team during the off season. teams that made all the splashy moves during the off season not liking the results so far. the best part is we are still growing we haven't even deployed all our weapons yet. Cam will play his part this season also. buckle up because we just getting warmed up. GO ROCKETS!

if jabari turns into porter jr, amen into aaron gordon and tari into murrey, trade green and brooks for solid piece, championship might be on the horizon. ofc alpi in the center as like jokic
Say Mr. Fertitta if you’re reading these comments, I know I can speak for the die hard Rockets fans when I say……… We don’t want an ultra sensitive ass KD OR Giannis who can’t shoot!!! Lmao I don’t know wtf Marc Stein was talking about in his little post. Ain’t he a former Mavericks beat writer??? Go try and sabotage those dudes up I 45, we good down here. Man I like Tate, but let’s move Tate and Landale for some more 3 point shooters to spread the floor. Aside from that, we got some gems on this team. Amen and Eason are about to take Fred and Smith’s spot on the starting 5 👀🤷🏽🚀
Criticism is easy when things dont go well. I thing its very good time to talk about team's problems which still stay out there. Rockets need a star player and hierarchy just like any other nba teams. if they want to make their own star then choose one of them and play trough him! One way or another rockets has to decide. This sh1t cant go on forever.
Against the Bucks they should build a wall to stop Giannis, like zone defense, bcos the Bucks are not shooting well especially with Lillard not playing and they don’t have good ball handlers and cutters
Time to trade all our young stars while their value is high. Perhaps we can trade Smith or Eason several first round picks for an over the hill Butler, George, or Durant.
All three of those guys are getting long in the tooth in basketball years. Especially Durant, who is 36. If we could get a deal done that makes sense then that would be fine. But at this point in their career, none of those guys is worth giving up the world for.
Y'all are clockin me for the win streak comment, deservedly, I just failed to articulate that I meant a win streak ABOVE .500 lmao 😭
Mistakes happen, we luv ya bruh lol
80 points in the paint! Sengun as the offensive hub while everyone else move around and cut. Unstoppable
Sengun's vision is amazing. The no-look pass to Fred cutting to the basket is beautiful.
So Alpi had two triple doubles last season and 29 double doubles. It gets more fun if you dig deeper.. 14 of these double doubles with:
• 7 assists: 5 games
• 8 assists: 6 games
• 9 assists: 3 games
🤷♂️🤷♂️ imagine if the boy had real shooters around..
Senhub is finally back we been wanting this for years but Slias didn’t want to or had no idea how to use Sengun and Ime was using him for post ups and on the elbow.
Using Sengun to run the offense at the top of the key is perfect because if guys are cutting he can fine them with his passing and if guys double him he can find guys at the perimeter for the wide open three and obviously he can get his own shots.
Ime is using Sengun skillsets and taking advantage of the athletic guys we have on this team and it’s great to see.
If Ime continues to use Senhub so to speak our offense is going to be so deadly
At this point, if any ‘rocket fan’ keeps talking about trading, ‘consolidating assets’, or star hunting for Giannis or anyone like that, you aren’t a fan
The Rockets are literally building a dynasty built on the Core 7. These dudes aren’t even 23 years old yet.
We’re about to go on an Astros level run
You nailed it. I don’t think we need to get rid of ANYONE right now. No trades, no consolidating, no expensive “stars.” We have a solid unit thats working well together with a defense that’s just slaying teams. If we stay healthy we are contenders.

I've been saying we should use this offense with Sengun for 4 years. I'm glad the FO and Ime are finally buying in.
You’re not the only one man but I’m happy we’re finally seeing it
He been here for 4 years? Damn
I hope this team continues to grow. Finally a Rockets team to be proud of.

I agree, but the funny thing is... we started it lol
Jalen is our best free throw shooter. He should lay up more often.
Reed had a heat check moment also. His shot is coming along.
Reed and Bari are good shooters, they just need to play with a little confidence and shoot the ball when they're open.
thanks man, nothing beats the joy of watching you & chop shop after a good win. hope your numbers go up to 100k quickly, you deserve it
Those are the two I listen to specifically as well 😂
Same here

Alpi is great playing
Great job of the staff, self scouting...I wonder if they're listening to you. lol That's the Senhub.
Prediction Alperen will break Dreams triple doubles. Can you get a quadruple Alpi?
Some of the best basketball I have seen from our organization in a lonnnng time. I was smiling the whole night

My favorite part was seeing the Rockets getting better and better every game.
All those close games in the recent years helped shape this franchise
Jalen is better when he choose his shots more carefully.
Defense wins championships… Along with attacking the rim. High % shots. All hoopers know long distance shots create long rebounds
Is that you, Rudy? :P
S/O to Dr. Moore for dubbing the Terror Twins nickname
Rockets are unpredictable. Other teams will have a hard time scouting. They never know who will have a hot hand.
KPJ, an old friend, made up for the torment he caused Rockets fans by missing free throws and treating the audience to burgers as an apology.
The burger flopper

Glad we beating the easy teams now so we don’t have to try as hard later in the season

March 8-29 2024. 11-gamw winning streak.

why did cam not play?? and why did he leave the game early
Did they win 5 straight games last season? They hold the record for the winning streak last season alongside the Celtics. Lol.
Go Rockets
Lets be real, this isn't even the best they can play. Which is scary.
Vamos foguetes buscar o mando de quadra 🚀🚀🚀🚀💪🇧🇷⬜🟥⬛
Now lets trade for giannis after the rockets win tonight
@WT1wL How much would you be willing to give up for Giannis, number of draft picks and what players are you willing to part with?
@Cheesehead2025 sengun
@Cheesehead2025 Rd 2
🚀🚀🚀
Rockets had an 11 game win streak last season when Sengun got injured and JG went on a heater.
🔒🔛🚀
Time to trade all our young stars while their value is high. Perhaps we can trade Smith or Eason several first round picks for an over the hill Butler, George, or Durant.
