Jalen Green Drops 31 & Amen Thompson Shines As Houston Rockets Get Back On Track Vs LA Clippers

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost and NBA Draft enthusiast Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss the Houston Rockets 117-106 win against the LA Clippers, how Jalen Green’s impressive 31-point performance and Amen Thompson’s versatile contributions powered the Rockets to the win, why Alperen Sengun’s box score doesn’t tell the full story, the STAY READY CREW holding it down and more.

Houston was supposed to win this game. Just like the last game against Warriors. Now, the real test is on Thursday in the NBA Cup. Go Rockets! 🚀🚀🚀
NBA Never Bored Again lol
James don’t not play
Lets hear it Jackson… The offense as a a whole looked better with JG and Amen controlling the flow and getting down hill. One reason for this is because Amen is a better finisher than AlP, and two, they play faster. If ALP wants to be insertive in this type of offense, he needs to learn how to stretch the floor, otherwise he can possibly be moved
Reed must be geting blocked during practice alot by amen and tari. He always has this hesitation even when he has space.
I have been saying it Ime udoka 7&1/2 rotation is not gonna cut it in this league no matter how talented they are. We have lots of players as a deep team, the coaches gotta expand their rotation bro. Holiday,Tate,Jeff, whitmore would help this team. They are not AAU players,they are simply NBA players. Udoka should be using them and giving them minutes. He should stop the Tom thibodeau style rotation that takes so much energy out of the players
Amen and Alpy should play together,their playstyles fit each other perfectly, and Jalen Green has more comfort and freedom when they are together,Amen goes to corner or cuts for Alpy and so Jalen Green has more free place to attack or shoot in 3p area ,Amen is half pointguard Alpy is half pointguard so the ball movement goes on, Houston should work on this three man action ,they can build something on this
Go Rockets!
Go Rockets x2!
It's nice to win but this type of play is not sustainable. We had too few assists. That means everyone played for himself. We need team play for a championship.
Why are we not calling up whitmore ? Especially now with minutes available
This is a good game without FVV. I love FVV but I think it's time for fred to reduce his shot. Let the young guns roll.
Go Rockets
💯💥💪
Ngl I think green might be the number 1 option in mid to late szn. Sengun just doesn’t have the scoring potential and green has been getting more consistant
Kenneth
Lofton Jr to the Rockets would be a great add no risk his game will mesh what's you're take?
Go Rockets!!!
Call Whitmore back already
Jackson has a special gift…if he calls you out in a video, you play great next game!! JG with the 31!!😂
Hey Jackson,
As a Rockets fan I really appreciate your podcast. The energy you bring every episode is off the charts. I love the way you get into the details of each game while also being able to contextualize it within the season. It’s great to see us dominate even without a couple key players. Also, s/o Madison. His collaboration on your show is always appreciated as well. Go ROCKETS!!!🚀🚀🚀🤘🏾
P.S. I think a great name for Alpi would be “The Turkish Titan😤💪🏾”
Start Amen again‼️ allow Jalen to get hot early as well as sengun and provide brooks with a couple corner threes for middys
