This is certainly a factor that should be considered by the "trade Jalen" fanatics. Devin Booker misses about 16 games a year, and I would rather have Jalen on a bad day than 16 days of guaranteed Aaron Holiday.
he is great but dont expect him to be great on every game then talk trash about him, his SG position can easily has bad few games, just look at Anthony Edward, Dovovan Mitchell stats, this kid will be the next Kobe, count on it
@@amb86 Thanks to both of you for listening. Sincerely appreciated. If you guys enjoyed it, please do me a favor and let the All NBA pod know in the comments. Much love. - Roosh
I don’t agree about Amen lacking vision, though. I think he’s pretty gifted there. I think it’s more that he either gets going too fast for his developing handle at times, and/or it’s just not getting time on task. If his handle gets a bit better I’d trust him at the 1. Especially playing alongside of Jalen who can assume the lead guard when needed, and particularly Alpi’s capacity to be a playmaking hub.
Jalen’s making better decisions with regularity, he’s keeping energy on offence despite consistently working hard on D, he looks like the game has slowed down for him, he has gotten so crafty in getting to the rim, and he’s still 22. Unlike March, this ‘hot streak’ isn’t making impossible shots, it’s all repeatable/sustainable except for the high end outside shooting. His form is sweet, so I think it’ll come in time, but I also think that it won’t go in the toilet for long stretches, it just won’t be this high all the time. And he doesn’t need it to be. And lastly, something he doesn’t get enough credit for is his personality/character. He’s almost always infectiously joyful, his teammates clearly love him, for a much hyped draft pick he works hard and doesn’t pout when Ime gives him tough love. Did you see his interview the other day, where he was very open and humble about his weaknesses, said himself that he has had a tendency to float when not engaged and has to stay on top of himself to make sure that doesn’t happen…refreshingly objective for a big time athlete.
Great Jalen analysis from both of you! His processing and playmaking has grow so much. The game is starting to slow down for him. It’s easy to see that Jalen loves playing with Amen for the pace
Great episode fellas! But I still stand by my tweet of saying it’s a lazy take/analysis to suggest that Amen starting has somehow unlocked JG though lol! I put it in the bucket of when people said JG and Sengun can’t play together just bc the Rockets went on a run without him. Nothing by the eye test or statistically really supports those stances imo. But yall did a great job of breaking down all of the strengths/weaknesses of every player and this team. I agree with WCF as the ceiling as well. But I think realistically we’re exactly where OKC was last year and they lost in 6 game in the 2nd round.
You tripping. What stopping them is they can't shoot. In the playoffs it's half court offense which they're not good enough. Then teams game plan you cut off driving lanes and make you shoot 3's game over. They going out in first round.
@rollwash4432 it is just a wish. whether they play in the finals or not, it's still A huge Success for Rockets. Who knows they might get there? Even if not. Rockets still did a good Job.
Frank, agree with you on Reed. The championship starters in '27 are Reed-Jalen-Amen-Jabari-Al-P. As far as being hunted in defense, Curry was his entire career and the warriors made it work.
@@josephglenn1471basing it on watching him play. His problem is confidence. Watching him in the g League (and spurts with the team) I'm really encouraged with his reads and passing. I would have thought us fans would have learned patience at this point.
Lmao jabari smith the stiff robot who never added anything to his game in 3 years, 6 11 and shoots %33 from 3, is afraid of dunking is afraid of the paint. Good luck with him.
Great pod guys. my ceiling for the team is WCF. I don't think we can beat OKC. my big 3 is Jalen, Alperen and Amen. I said before the season this team would win 50 games, so through the 1st half they have been better than even I thought they would be. I think we should wait until the end of this season before making any trades. we need to see this team in the playoffs before trying to upgrade it. I have defended Jalen since he was drafted, but even I have had some doubt along the way. I really became incouraged when Ime took over because I figured if anybody could develope him Ime could. I agree with you Frank, while it has been a rollercoaster ride there has also been slow but steady improvement. you can see him figuring things out. more times than not he's making good decisions. I think we are begining to see the influnce of Ime blosoom in Jalen's game. dare I say it..........Jalen's basketball IQ has begun to expand?
GREAT SHOW !!! Frank be saying stuff that people act like they can't see ... then I say just cause I can see Alpi balling ..And hitting mid range at a ok clip ..dont mean the Rando ...not going to sat Alpi need a midi after every game ...
Finally, Roosh not slandering JG anymore. Just fair criticism. No more Jordan Clarkson and Rip Hamilton stuff. I guess it's about time to stop hating on Roosh as well. Lol
The org had more patience than me and I commend them greatly for it. Even the contract is turning out to be smart at this point. Congrats to Stone and team for so many moves working out so far. Everyone should really really thank Ime for this proving to be an incredible incredible coach. Coached superstar finals team. Coached trash worst team in the league and has made them great. Very impressive.
the Rockets must improve on 3Reys to be a good contender for championship. Defense is good.. Just develop consistency on Green, shepherd , whitmor on treys, and everything is fine. FVV and Brooks also need consistency. no need for Sengun he is fine for his improving play as long as they have got their chemistry of play.
I don’t get on twitter anymore so not aware of what the brain rotted takes are anymore. With that said this is the most fun Rockets team I remember since the 65 win season. It’s been amazing to watch the young core lead us to this second seed. And love watching Jalen play up to his potential, Amen breakout, and Sengun being an absolute all star. Nothing to complain about when you aren’t worried about dumb fans takes.
Good for you because Rockets Twitter is probably the worst it's ever been. And I agree -- this is the most fun team since 2018. Hope they keep it up. - Roosh
Jalen feeds off Amen energy and should start. Jabari should play a similar role in sengun off bench. It will allow Jabari more touches and help him get better . Lmk what you think??
@RobCortez0416 jabari is really good and would be even better if he comes off bench so he can get more touches. Amen is better for jalen bc hos pace and energy help jalen get in rhythm. Jabaris mainly defense with starters bc green and sengun. He would actually get a chance to eat off the bench.
Nah, this is the most mature version of Roosh so far. He’s raised his floor and isn’t slandering JG anymore. That’s what an analyst should do, analyze and criticize. I even saw him cherry-pick bad JG stats before just to prove his agenda. Roosh’s ceiling would be when he stops blocking people on X for criticizing his takes. People have opinions too, and when he doesn’t like what they’re trying to point out, he just blocks them. He even blocked me for telling him to be patient on JG back in November, too soft but i dont mind. 😂😂
Agree with most of what y'all are saying, but one thing for Roosh. I agree we need to upgrade Dillon..........but we already have the guy. This dude Jabari Smith is the one. Crazy stat here, with Jabari in the starting lineup, the Rockets are second in the West. 😅 I don't understand that after majority of fans were dismissing Sengun then being proved wrong with time, dismissing Jalen then being proved wrong with time, that we still don't see beyond this exact moment. First priority if i were Stone this summer would be extend Jabari and keep room to keep Amen the following year.
Good to have rockets content & WCF ceiling, WCSF likelihood. At 32:00 I disagree with the Tony Parker analogy. In the sense that Amen doesn’t need to be a number one to be a main ball handler (like Tony didn’t). I think his processing is part of his superpowers, and he puts pressure on the rim unlike a Draymond. However, he’s not able to manipulate defenses to the best of his ability just yet until he tightens his handle, which allows him to slow down in the paint, & get more on ball reps
I been watching jalen since sophomore in high school cause he played in town like 10 minutes away ... Honestly keep watching because we aint seen nothing yet. Go back to some old high school highlights and you will understand wut im saying... The dude is going to be unstoppable once he get 10-15 more pounds of muscle.. Watch
Man how can it be unexplicable to you why JG is shooting better from the arc. He hasn't turned into Larry Bird overnight....he's just learning what shots to take and what shots not to take....that alone improves your % by 5% easy, and your colleague had just finished explaining that concept. Lol
Lol nah. He’s taking very difficult shots and making them. And improving 5% is A LOT. He shot under 34% on 1600+ attempts before this season. That’s why. - Roosh
@@StateOfTheRockets man every play he's got a bad three he would have taken up to 2 months ago and now he's turning it down, and that's what Charles Barkley was referring to when he said "they've got to learn how to play basketball". There's a lot of reasons why a guard improves his efficiency, and for young guards the main reason is they learn what shots to avoid. JG is clearly doing that, I mean, clear as the sun. I'm not saying he's not hitting tough shots, I'm saying he's learning to seek easier ones more often than not. Cheers
@@elnardowebster2842 We're specifically talking about 3s, though. His 3P shot profile doesn't look much different. But he's making them. That's all I'm saying. - Roosh
If the olny way we can win against the good teams is if someone gets hurt or out then we need to make a trade asap. If we can win playing at a high level then who needs to go
My rockets are the most exciting team ive ever seen! The only team in entire nba that scares me is okc. We very well could win the whole fucking thing this year.
We need a trade even on the MARGIN Go for Cam johnson from what I've seen he WOULDN'T be that expensive, and he would instantly be our #1 at PF. We would still have plenty of assets to get a star in the off-season. If we don't use our expiring contracts, then they are just wasted. As good as we are doing, you can allwaysximprove the team and might help make a deeper run in the post-season if not only a series deeper. Jeff Green, TATE and a 1st of ours, and maybe a couple 2nds. Might throw in a swap if you need a sweetner.
This team is mindboggling. On paper, they are supposed to be a terrible team. On this current starting 5, they're criminally undersized in every position, and they have 2 non-shooters on the court. How are they so good?!
They win on everything except shooting, rebounds, steals, turnovers, great at stopping transition, 2nd chance points, etc. we win on the margins.. with little more skill and talent improvement that’s the recipe for a great contender
Listen i do not dislike jalen green. But i need to see consistency from jalen. We have seen hot streaks like this before then he goes back to being terribly inconsistent. I dont have alot of expectations for this team because we are young and i am at that wait see point if jalen is going to stay consistent . Im happy we are just winning as of now
@felipecornejo7309 consistent since Thanksgiving since when ? He didn't start playing well till late December he averaged 19 ppg on poor shooting in December he averaged 17 ppg in November on poor shooting %s what are u even talking about ?
@ his play started in Thanksgiving, it was shown when the team decided to go more off ball with Fred. Scoring was up and down, but overall defense and play making was better while avg a good TS. His offensive stats started to go up in December. Consistently is not only in scoring but in other aspects of his game
@felipecornejo7309 it did not start at Thanksgiving you are wrong look at the numbers. When u comment atleast make some factual statements. He didn't start until late December
Jalen is playing good at the beginning of the season and then 2 bad games and then he had a two week ilness go see in the injury report at that november time the fact is even that illness he insisted on playing still one of our tough guy in this team plaing no matter what he did that also last 7 games of the season when he played with ankle injury and bad leg that is why his scoring deep in april last season this season he a good defender he average 1 steal a game and some block also the block on tatum was his block of year for jalen career , a lot of jalen haters always see him as one dimensional player but he playing both ends now and his playmaking improve also if only dillon jabari sengun and Fred makes shot when jalen pass to them in an open shot his avarage assit might be 5 , also haters didnt notice he is the only one in this rocket team that play 82 straight games last year plus now 41 thats 123 straight game without missing any single game and he is drives to the basket by an average of at least 7 to 8 a game look at some star in the nba like leonard of clipper, ,embid zion doncic they miss to many games and that hurt there team a lot so availability is important to the team
In my eyes, Jalen has not proved yet if he has increased his IQ and vision of the game. If they finish in the 2nd or third spot with the help of his playing, I will conclude that he has gone through the transformation we have been expecting from him. Amen is still immature. He needs to broaden his vision of the game. Cam is, as Frank rightly put it, a bad version of Jalen. He has no awareness about the game even though he has developed a bit after his short G-League journey.
How far do you think this years Houston Rockets can go in the playoffs fully healthy, no trades?
I think we have a 2nd round game 7 heartbreaker. Which I think would be a huge victory considering where we were last year.
1st round exit 6 games. just keeping expectations low because Rockets young core doesn't have Playoff experience yet
Final!! :)
WCF lose to OKC most likely or give another team a hard fought series.

@FranktheTank..Great work fellas!.. See! What have i been telling yall about Jalen for the last two seasons!..Y'all finally see the light!😮😂🔥
What exactly were you saying that I haven’t? 🤔..
Jalen’s assist is not because he’s not passing but because his teammates aren’t hitting their shots
That is what happens to sengun’s assists for about 2.5 years. There is statistics about potential assissts missed, he has been in top 5 nba.
He is often the first domino in scoring, gets a lot of hockey assists

Jalen is playing good at the beginning of the season and then 2 bad games and then he had a two week ilness go see in the injury report at that november time the fact is even that illness he insisted on playing still one of our tough guy in this team plaing no matter what he did that also last 7 games of the season when he played with ankle injury and bad leg that is why his scoring deep in april last season this season he a good defender he average 1 steal a game and some block also the block on tatum was his block of year for jalen career , a lot of jalen haters always see him as one dimensional player but he playing both ends now and his playmaking improve also if only dillon jabari sengun and Fred makes shot when jalen pass to them in an open shot his avarage assit might be 5 , also haters didnt notice he is the only one in this rocket team that play 82 straight games last year plus now 41 thats 123 straight game without missing any single game and he is drives to the basket by an average of at least 7 to 8 a game look at some star in the nba like leonard of clipper, ,embid zion doncic they miss to many games and that hurt there team a lot so availability is important to the team
In my eyes, Jalen has not proved yet if he has increased his IQ and vision of the game. If they finish in the 2nd or third spot with the help of his playing, I will conclude that he has gone through the transformation we have been expecting from him. Amen is still immature. He needs to broaden his vision of the game. Cam is, as Frank rightly put it, a bad version of Jalen. He has no awareness about the game even though he has developed a bit after his short G-League journey.
FVV NEEDS TO GO IN A FOX DEAL OR OTHER PG DEAL.
FVV is probably the best salary match player. +$40 mil with team option
We like a Fast phase play.especially in our Country.we tend to be lazy if we watch a Slow Game..
One move euro😂
WCF

If the Rockets face the Sacramento Kings, they are a first-round exit.
