I hate how rockets fans in here are watching the Rockets at the top of the league when they were absolute garbage for three years and I’ve heard every player listed to be traded. They literally can’t do nothing to please fans except win EVERY game. Guess that shows why just started watching when they popped. These boys are performing way past expectations. Chemistry is built over time, and totally RUINED with trades. Look at Brooklyn’s big three, the Suns, the Clippers, never ending examples. Be patient.
And they give him those shots as well and work that in with a deadly pump make life way easier alpi need to go back to last season playstyle be more of the aggressor
His shot is really flat however. Someone has to get with him on how to get good arc and backspin as well as having a better release, in the offseason and maybe even during the AS break .
How many here thought the Rockets would be a top 6 team in the west this year? Not many of you. Right now they are top 3. Let's ride this out. Give our guys time to develop. If a trade opportunity presents itself that won't hurt the team long-term, sure consider it, but otherwise, let's ride it out. We can revisit roster adjustments at the end of the season.
That was probably the worst game I seen Alpi play Celtics had than man frustrated and if is offense isn’t going his defense fails but I still waiting to see Jalen and alpi have a good game together it’s always one or the other
Sengun was dominating the Celtics early. They literally had to double him with 2 7-footers to stop him. They changed their whole ass gameplan to stop one man. He did his job. Sure he could've been better defensively but literally nobody chased their guys off the 3 pt line.
It cracks me up at the beginning of the season when Jabari was struggling there was talk about he needs to come off the bench or get traded and now that he is playing great how are the rockets gonna survive Jabari being injured
I seen a few transition mess-ups however. At times he failed to cover his man, leading to open 3's and transition layups. White was able to lose him a good deal. This might have had something to do with the fact that he was a team second worst -24, along with everyone's failure to hit a shot at all. He has to clean up that part of his game: knowing his defensive assignments and help responsibilities at all times.
@ sure but sengun needs to become a better shooter. This will not be the last time it happens. We got killed on the defensive boards. Adams will help with that, also adds a physical presence. Adams at the top of the key facilitating the ball would also bring out one of the bigs out. Its worth at least a quarter just to see how it goes
Also with jock landale. All of our centers have great passing ability and know how to get into position. I think we are missing the chance for a dominant inside game.
Love the concept but in reality spacing becomes an issue (unless AS starts shooting 3s at a higher clip). The combo Adams had with Triple J in Memphis was similar to this idea and worked amazingly but AS would need to improve his long range shooting and just don't think it's a real possibility
Cam Johnson is a PERFECT FIT for this team !! (Currently shooting 49.6% from the Field & 43.6% 3pt percentage) but You CANNOT give up the Phoenix 2027 Pick Swap !!! (cuz there's a very strong chance that Pick Swap becomes a Top-5 Pick, and Tyran Stokes is in that Draft !! Thus, the Phoenix 2027 Pick Swap should be Non-Negotiable !!
Cam Johnson will cost too much and isn't worth the expense the Nets will want in a crowded market for Cam Johnson. The best opportunity was when had leverage and the Nets 1st rounders. Rather pick up a cheaper shooter and trade for Fox or Booker.
Would Markannen be that much more expensive than Cam J? He could be used similarly, but also at the 4 next to Smith at the 5. Same kinda thing with Vucevic
Sengun was cooking the Celtics big but once Muzzlua went to that double big lineup he had completely shut down Sengun daring our guys to shoot whenever Sengun was force to pass to the outside Jalen Green was the only one that scored Basically we lost to a superior team who took advantage of our weakness which is lack of shooting and it didn’t help we had no Jabari Tari or Amen in this game. I think they need to go after a wing now either Cam Johnson or Kispert for shooting But I’m not tripping about this loss since we were facing the best team in the league in the Celtics. On to the Lakers
@@Lezahfire the whole point is, ALP can be taken out of a game because he is limited in the way he scores. Jokic, AD, Embiid, Sabonis all have counters to the opposing team defenses to get their points.
@@djmill8000 that's just so sad for Sengun. But he will grow as a Player. Ime likes Him. He is a Smart player too. A little bit dirty player, just like Jimmy Butler. Which sometimes overlooked.
@@jalenjohnson0339 Sengun can take them out on the perimeter and use his foot speed, but people are not realizing Bostons great team defense strategy. They're so disciplined and dynamic. The last 3 games they lost were because they were upper level teams that have great team defense schemes.
It’s risky doing any trades. Because first and foremost they need their superstar player on the roster. And we don’t know what position that is going to be at yet.
YES YES YES make that trade for johnson. And when Jabari comes back it might make Whitmore and/or sheppard available as trade pieces for our PG of the future. FVV IS ALLWAYS AT THE TOP OF MY TRADE LIST TOO IF WE COULD GET FOX Or Booker this year we could start our future now instead of next year I'm not ready to write this year off evaluating more. We know what we got and can decide how to move forward. With a star PG and johnson, I think we could make a run this year!
Spacing is an issue. I watch guys stand statically in a spot and I can see one defender guarding two guys at the same time. With that being said, since they love the iso so much, then at least develop some elite iso sets. Last, I hate watching Jaylen initiate his offense from 30 feet out so much. Try getting him some touches coming off screens closer to the basket.
Yeah, I thought the loss of Jabari had the team shaken up. Alpi looked confused the whole game. Plus going into the game they probably felt they had little chance of winning without Jabari, Tari and Amen. They lacked confidence but hung in there. I also thought the Celtics could have played way better. Luke Kornet was a match up Alpi couldn't figure out. KP was about to be dominated by Sengun.
Keep green, kid can play, and they are all young watching fred hurts. cause he's a great player, but dam, he plays for the foul too dam much. WE NEED A NO'1 PLAYER? SENGUN AINT IT. He's great, but most bigs score these days. Im in for Cam! We need an outside threat besides D.B. gamon, if he's our best shooter, we are in trouble without our terror twins! Still tho it was the celtics we will be ok ... can ya gimmi an AMEN! YEWWWWWWW GO ROCKETS
lol yall will get by trading smith for the best 2-way stretch 3, 4, 4/5 maxi Kleiber. his all-world defense and legendary big shot ability, will put the rockets over the top his vet leadership will help mold the young rockets in his winning image
Jackson. You didn't get the memo from "Rockets fans". You're not allowed to complement Jalen Green or critique Al P at any time. That's not the way they do it around here these days. #GoRockets
Call me crazy but the Jabari injury was just what we needed to shake things up. How about using our two backup bigs more and letting Sengun play more like a classic 4 or even playing him like a wing at times? It's also a good opportunity to give Cam Whitmore more time. I would make your proposed Cam Johnson trade in a heartbeat but the Nets will want more in return, probably Cam Whitmore or more picks. I think you were looking for the word propensity but you could use affinity in its place.
The Rockets shot 36.5 from the floor and 28.6 from 3. That isn't going to get it done in this league. Now granted we were missing Tari and Amen but even with them on the court the Rockets have not been shooting the ball well and you can only go so far, if you can't trade baskets with the best in the league during the playoffs.
If the Rockets stand pat they will not go far even assuming they make the playoffs. Defense is certainly important to being a title contender. But defense alone won’t make it happen. Offense alone wouldn’t make it happen either. Being a title contender requires high execution on both ends of the court. Last year, the Celtics were first in the league offensively and second in the league defensively. That’s how you go 80-21 regular season and postseason combined and have a parade in late June.
When teams double or triple team AD, Sabonis, Embiid Jokic, those guy find other ways to score... Truth is Sengun is a one trick pony, once you take his only way to score away from him, thats it, he is out the game. Cant be the best pllayer on the team if you can be easiliy taking out the game from a scheatic point of view. Cause what you think going to happen in a playoff series, teams going to just sit back and allow Sengun to do what he does???? no they are taking that away first thing first
If Sengun took 1/3 of those pump fake threes and made them it would make it a lot easier on himself. It’s almost known it’s a pump fake at this point and his shot isn’t good enough to worry about. Jokic doesn’t have that problem.
You're just wrong bro. They pass out to good shooters and get foul calls. Sengun gets hammered and never gets calls AND he has no release valves on this team other than jabari and DB...and Bari is out now. Jokic has shooters all over. Sabonis has had shooters but they're all slumping this year, and their record shows it.
Honestly, I want John Collins over Cam Johnson. Can play small ball center, space the floor, vertical spacer / lob threat and weak side shot blocker.. 👀
Stevo had the best +/- in that game, he showed Sengun how to play centre properly. Pity Ime kept taking him off, he got us back into contention both times he came on. Sengun was constantly dropping his head, lazy running back on D, didnt box out. Was generally total rubbish.
Sengun trash on defense, he has to play with a Jabari or Amen next to him on defense, and offense he has no counter if teams take away him scoring from the inside.
@ absurd take when sengun is ranked on the top at depends on the room with Wemby Chet and Giannis. Can’t say that he hasn’t taken a leap in defense. Is he perfect no
@ he doesn’t make the TEAM better though, we do play a team game last time I looked. Stevo does every time he is on court - no ego, just good basketball.
I'm Done wit Cam Whitmore cuz I don't think You can coach the "tunnel vision" out of him .. Jalen Green plays purely on athleticism, and doesn't process the Game at a High Level (like a Luka Doncic or Elite Lead Guard), so there's a hard ceiling in Jalen's Game. The issue is that this team DESPERATELY needs an efficient Facilitator (at least 6'7" & relatively athletic, i.e. Dylan Harper from Rutgers University), and this Player would unlock Sengun !!! De'Aaron Fox is Not the Answer & is kind of a defensive liability
Sengun is not that great. He has the same tunnel vision, tries to make to many fancy moves, turns the ball over a lot and misses to many bunnies in the paint. JG had a great game, controlled the flow and kept in the game until the forth.
@@kelvinbrooks7200 I'm actually Cool with Jalen Green staying on the Team .. cuz an above-average Facilitator would unlock Jalen & Sengun !! My issue with Jalen is when teams focus on Jalen (defensively), he disappears & we see these game-to-game "rollercoaster" performances. I would be SHOCKED if the Rockets pick up FVV's team option
when alpy got the most points , it was alpy's fault. when alpy played poor, again it was alpy's fault too. trade alpy and make jalen fan boys happy and win the championship. porzingis played poorer than alpy but they won, because they hit 3's in %47 and our percentage %27.
1) Brooklyn’s going to have WAY better offers than one bad first in ‘27 , a swap, and doo doo filler. That’s not going to get it done. There’s going to have to be a real asset in there like Reed or Cam. 2) Houston will NOT be fetching a 1st rd pick in exchange for Steven Adams. Get real 😂
Insanely hot start for sengun? lol relax bro he had 8 points in the first quarter and was a minus 10 and stop trying to blame it on not having everyone Boston didn’t have Horford or Brown this team just isn’t that good idc what that record says
Alpy didnt play well . Looked so emotional tbh. Everytime he miss a shot he mentaly got worse. He looked frustrated. Yes he always get double teamed. If you are one of the most consistent offense player in the team they will defend you harder than others . You need to find the way how to be more effective those times. May sound like excuse but when alpy gets the ball its like some on in the crowd yelling ' english or spanish!'. Offense can be more mobile. Waiting for ball to try 3pt shot is okay but do we realize that we are the worse shooting team in the nba? Our shooters cant even make wide open shots what makes them think they can shoot fine against a very good defender team like boston? Our offensive game IQ feels so low sometimes. Thats maybe something udoka must figure out. Jalen was good. Also defensively better than usual. But to win one jalen or one alpy won't be enough. We need at least 2 player with 25+s games effectively. Not like 25 pts over 30 shots etc. Adams looking very positive the times he play. While alpy played 28min i thought he gets more than 6mins. That was a good match to test something for ime. He could try Steven adams and alpy same time? And started with uncle jeff? If in a game like this Reed only gets 4 min to play , i think its better to send the kid to g league. Cam , always solo plays. Never thinks making dimes . Dont care about moving the ball. Just give him to ball and he shoots. He was implying that ime dont give him more time to play that he deserves , he played 34 min FG% 23.5 (4/17) and 3P% 11.1 (1/9) . So what now cam? You are future MJ but ime dont give you enough time to play or you should improve yourself? What he does a street basketball. You wont make jalen benched with this mentality just saying. Amen needs to be back asap.
Al P is always emotional and leaves his assignment after smoked lay ups to complain to the refs, not to mention how he hardly closes out on three point shooters. Lastly, he's still pump faking around the three point line and driving into traffic instead of shooting the ball.
Sooner or later jalen green or Alpi will get traded officially year 4 and these 2 players doesnt work together, best for team trade Alpi and get a rim protector for Jalen or trade Green and get a Murray type guard for Alpi.
I think Amen will fill in for Jabari well. Uncle Jeff off the bench at power forward and Adams will get the backup center minutes. Lucky for us Adams is getting his timing back. I think the Rockets need to hold off on a trade and get De'Aaron Fox in the off season when Jalen's new contract kicks in and put him in the deal. We need to get a point guard to take Fred's spot. I would like not picking up Fred's team option but signing him to a cheaper contract and being the backup to Fox. If he will agree to that. I have my doubts. But considering he has played with us for a period of time and he knows what the players do, I would try to not let him walk. And I think Stone values that also. I like Cam Johnson also but I'm only giving up picks and filler for him. And I value Tate and Holiday as third string backups that accept their roles as such.
@kelvinbrooks7200 have you not listen to Jackson? , he offer Jalen green many times in trade talks . So it's ok to trade jalen, better in Miami or Kings.
Stop daydreaming about Jalen Green, he's one of worst shooting guy in NBA because he's too small and that's why none of other teams want to trade him..! And he can't guard the ball enogh or good dribbles, he can't make any good plays, decisions or assists, after 4 years as everybody knows all of those too..! Houston is already a very undersized team and you talk about Cameron Johnson another old and small forwet guy, he has nothing better than Dillon Brooks..! By now you have to decide to get rid off all small guys in the team (except Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks) and go get one or two (really) good sized power forwets too... And also you have to change the game plan and play with two centers in the floor or you can't win against any well sized team as you see against Celtics double bigs (you can't even beat any of bottom lined Euroleague team), basicly accept this is modern basketball not a streetball contest or Harlem circus show..!
On the bright side, Jalen Green looked pretty good vs an elite team.

They act like it's NBA2k lol
Shout out to Ime who handled Cam's comments well and said he has no problem with players expressing themselves
What did I say?? Let Jalen on ball he has the gravity we need from a primary ball handler
Alpy should improve mid range shooting around faul line to unlock these type of defences,
Man I been preaching that shit til I'm blue in the face
And they give him those shots as well and work that in with a deadly pump make life way easier alpi need to go back to last season playstyle be more of the aggressor
His shot is really flat however. Someone has to get with him on how to get good arc and backspin as well as having a better release, in the offseason and maybe even during the AS break .
He should also finish better around the rim. Many easy opportunities lost after he most skillfuly beats the defender. Very frustrating to see that.
How many here thought the Rockets would be a top 6 team in the west this year? Not many of you. Right now they are top 3. Let's ride this out.

I'm Done wit Cam Whitmore cuz I don't think You can coach the "tunnel vision" out of him .. Jalen Green plays purely on athleticism, and doesn't process the Game at a High Level (like a Luka Doncic or Elite Lead Guard), so there's a hard ceiling in Jalen's Game. The issue is that this team DESPERATELY needs an efficient Facilitator (at least 6'7" & relatively athletic, i.e. Dylan Harper from Rutgers University), and this Player would unlock Sengun !!! De'Aaron Fox is Not the Answer & is kind of a defensive liability
Sengun is not that great. He has the same tunnel vision, tries to make to many fancy moves, turns the ball over a lot and misses to many bunnies in the paint. JG had a great game, controlled the flow and kept in the game until the forth.
Still, you are not satisfied how rockets feeding Sengun even if he is not clutch player.
I think jalen played a hell of a game
@@Lezahfire the team doesn’t slow the offense and it’s to predictable so it’s to easy to stop
@@kelvinbrooks7200 I'm actually Cool with Jalen Green staying on the Team .. cuz an above-average Facilitator would unlock Jalen & Sengun !! My issue with Jalen is when teams focus on Jalen (defensively), he disappears & we see these game-to-game "rollercoaster" performances. I would be SHOCKED if the Rockets pick up FVV's team option
Disappointed in the community man I win and lose with this team the road less traveled 💪🏽😁
when alpy got the most points , it was alpy's fault. when alpy played poor, again it was alpy's fault too. trade alpy and make jalen fan boys happy and win the championship. porzingis played poorer than alpy but they won, because they hit 3's in %47 and our percentage %27.
This men is totally bias this podcast totally bullshit 😂
1) Brooklyn’s going to have WAY better offers than one bad first in ‘27 , a swap, and doo doo filler. That’s not going to get it done. There’s going to have to be a real asset in there like Reed or Cam.
2) Houston will NOT be fetching a 1st rd pick in exchange for Steven Adams. Get real 😂
Insanely hot start for sengun? lol relax bro he had 8 points in the first quarter and was a minus 10 and stop trying to blame it on not having everyone Boston didn’t have Horford or Brown this team just isn’t that good idc what that record says
Gatlin wants Jalen traded so bad.
Alpy didnt play well . Looked so emotional tbh. Everytime he miss a shot he mentaly got worse. He looked frustrated. Yes he always get double teamed. If you are one of the most consistent offense player in the team they will defend you harder than others . You need to find the way how to be more effective those times. May sound like excuse but when alpy gets the ball its like some on in the crowd yelling ' english or spanish!'. Offense can be more mobile. Waiting for ball to try 3pt shot is okay but do we realize that we are the worse shooting team in the nba? Our shooters cant even make wide open shots what makes them think they can shoot fine against a very good defender team like boston? Our offensive game IQ feels so low sometimes. Thats maybe something udoka must figure out.
Jalen was good. Also defensively better than usual. But to win one jalen or one alpy won't be enough. We need at least 2 player with 25+s games effectively. Not like 25 pts over 30 shots etc.
Adams looking very positive the times he play. While alpy played 28min i thought he gets more than 6mins. That was a good match to test something for ime. He could try Steven adams and alpy same time? And started with uncle jeff?
If in a game like this Reed only gets 4 min to play , i think its better to send the kid to g league.
Cam , always solo plays. Never thinks making dimes . Dont care about moving the ball. Just give him to ball and he shoots. He was implying that ime dont give him more time to play that he deserves , he played 34 min FG% 23.5 (4/17) and 3P% 11.1 (1/9) . So what now cam? You are future MJ but ime dont give you enough time to play or you should improve yourself? What he does a street basketball. You wont make jalen benched with this mentality just saying.
Amen needs to be back asap.
Al P is always emotional and leaves his assignment after smoked lay ups to complain to the refs, not to mention how he hardly closes out on three point shooters. Lastly, he's still pump faking around the three point line and driving into traffic instead of shooting the ball.
To all those wanting Cam Johnson. It's a reason he's always getting traded. He's a black hole on defense.
He's not an Ime type guy.
He’s been traded one time…
Go Rockets!
Sooner or later jalen green or Alpi will get traded officially year 4 and these 2 players doesnt work together, best for team trade Alpi and get a rim protector for Jalen or trade Green and get a Murray type guard for Alpi.
Go Rockets 🚀
😂 Stop making Excuses about players out.
Great game from jg probably one of his best games of the season and if we’re being honest he gonna have to be jump shooter to have a great games
I think Amen will fill in for Jabari well. Uncle Jeff off the bench at power forward and Adams will get the backup center minutes. Lucky for us Adams is getting his timing back. I think the Rockets need to hold off on a trade and get De'Aaron Fox in the off season when Jalen's new contract kicks in and put him in the deal. We need to get a point guard to take Fred's spot. I would like not picking up Fred's team option but signing him to a cheaper contract and being the backup to Fox. If he will agree to that. I have my doubts. But considering he has played with us for a period of time and he knows what the players do, I would try to not let him walk. And I think Stone values that also. I like Cam Johnson also but I'm only giving up picks and filler for him. And I value Tate and Holiday as third string backups that accept their roles as such.
Rockets should run the offense through Jalen G. With Cam in pick and roll. That would be way better than sengun and fred 😂
You fake
So viele Şengün Hasser! Ob Houston Fans oder nicht.
Frage mich warum ihn alle hassen?!
Go Rock kits
Go HOUnds!
Yes, you May tradeJalen to Miami or Kings.
That would be the dumbest move
@kelvinbrooks7200 have you not listen to Jackson? , he offer Jalen green many times in trade talks . So it's ok to trade jalen, better in Miami or Kings.
You sniffed the longest line of crack you have no clue of what you saying sir
@@Lezahfirenah
yeah, trade JG. stop wasting his talent
Jalen Go to Miami
Alpi to Dallas Maverick 🫶
JG in second half started getting double teamed and completely become indecisive at times.
Yes he did, maybe because nobody was doing anything else to help. The same excuses used on Sengun in the same with JG
True but he needs to figure out how to handle double teams. That's what shut him down last year when he was having that incredible run.
@@felipecornejo7309 Alpy knows to dish out at least.
Stop daydreaming about Jalen Green, he's one of worst shooting guy in NBA because he's too small and that's why none of other teams want to trade him..! And he can't guard the ball enogh or good dribbles, he can't make any good plays, decisions or assists, after 4 years as everybody knows all of those too..!
Houston is already a very undersized team and you talk about Cameron Johnson another old and small forwet guy, he has nothing better than Dillon Brooks..! By now you have to decide to get rid off all small guys in the team (except Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks) and go get one or two (really) good sized power forwets too...
And also you have to change the game plan and play with two centers in the floor or you can't win against any well sized team as you see against Celtics double bigs (you can't even beat any of bottom lined Euroleague team), basicly accept this is modern basketball not a streetball contest or Harlem circus show..!
He’s 6’6” and it’s actually not smh I swear y’all just be saying anything and hating on bro when he’s the only one hooping on the team besides amen
Go Rockets!!!
