After watching NBA cup final ,we are playing really good,after seeing OKC not allowed to defend by refrees and how weak they look … Houston wasnt allowed to defend in Semifinal game against OKC and made it to last 5 minutes with only 6 points … Our players are doing great ,we only need avarage shooting and i have a sense Houston will go further than people think in the playoffs
If you still think JG is going to be a star in this league, you’re a dang fool😂
Hi Jackson, i really enjoy your podcast as a rocket fan, but i must confess that your voice tone is a constant F in a mid-high octave, with almost no variations. This lack of variation of the voice tone and the speed of your words makes impossible pass the 5 minute mark of your videos. This is totally subjective , i'll watch you anyways , but is a little complicated for the ear, thanks
bro we need Zach LaVine
Lavine also have trade kicker
Stay far away from Zach… wait for Dfoxx
I'd love to know what's going on did Cam whitmore
With Cam whitmore
Now DeAndre Fox would be a great pickup for the Rockets depends on what we have to give up
hate to say it but Sengun will be traded within 3 years.
Put me down for John Collins.
I like Cam Johnson to Houston👍
Zack for FVV plus Freds from Chicago
We should go get Corey Kispert from the Washington Wizards. It just makes sense shooting wise.
The only Cam we need is Cam Withmore. Cam Johnson soft on defense and not well-rounded, offensively. Pass.
Out of everything you said what I agree with is a big NOOO to dejountay murray, super overrated imo
Here's my take:
1) Cam Johnson doesn't make sense to me because he's just another wing. Rockets are already stacked there and unless we're unloading someone it just causes a bigger logjam. As is, Cam Whitmore can't even stay on the roster.
2) Nic Claxton contract is too expensive and doesn't address shooting need
3) Lavine I would definitely be interested in if available at a decent price
4) Collins is another player that I think works well. He shoots decently, is an athletic, adequate defender who can play the 4 and 5 on a reasonable contract.
Ime gotta figure out how to use Cam.
We need bol bol let’s get a rim protector and give up Steven Adams
