Jalen Green 30 Piece & Cam Whitmore’s Career-High 27 Lead Houston Rockets In Easy Win Vs Pelicans
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down the Houston Rockets 128-111 blowout win against the New Orleans Pelicans, led by 30 points (in three quarters) from Jalen Green and a career-high 27 points in 27 minutes from Cam Whitmore. Can Jalen sustain his play against elite competition? Will Ime Udoka keep Cam Whitmore in the rotation once Dillon Brooks and Tari Eason return? De’Aaron Fox trade rumors are also explored as things are heating up with the Sacramento Kings now having lost five straight games + a look ahead at the Rockets upcoming five game homestand against all legitimate playoff opponents and more.

Jalen is such a microwave! He will be lost again for the 5 games.
Shout out to Jae'Sean Tate!!!
FVV, Reed, and couple firsts.
I know some people have made a lot of issue about Amen Thompson 3 point shooting as reason for him to not start but I can tell you that his lack of 3 point shooting is none a factor on this team’s offense. In fact, just this last 3 games he has started the Rockets offense have been probably the best in the NBA and they blowout teams starting in the 1st Quarter and that’s because of Amen Defense. Dude is a great compliment to Sengun for rim protection. He had like 3 blocks in the first half. If he’s a starter he’ll lead the league in blocks per game as a wing. That’s how great this kid is.
I want to see what the Rockets do in the playoffs because Amen has to start. He’s a game changer. I love Brooks but Amen brink a different dimension to this team defense. His length is an elite level problem for other teams.
Jalen green hater. Stating to sound like stephen a smith smh 🤦 hater
A lot of yall were high on reed , saying keep reed trade Jalen and I’ve been saying I don’t see it , his shooting hype from college had yall seeing a star , he will be a roll player for his career Goran Dragic type
A lot of yall were high on reed , saying keep reed trade Jalen and I’ve been saying I don’t see it , his shooting hype from college had yall seeing a star , he will be a roll player for his career Goran Dragic type , he looks out of place out there right now, can’t guard no one n shot not falling .
yeah I'm not trading for jalen to get dearon fox lol. He would benefit jalen heavily much more than he would for fvv.
🚀
no trades… stay pat Rockets 🚀…. none of those other guys were around when we were getting washed… Can is untouchable
My only thing against sending Reed to the G-League for me is he needs to be able to make consistent shots against the top athletes of the world, not G-League players. But if Ime think he just lack rhythm/reps then Gleague until All Star break might help
🚀🚀🚀🚀
Man you sad you hate Jalen peace
Have a Texans jersey I want to trade for rockets lmao any offers 😂
Alpi issue is mental + process information more than anything else. Crying after the ref for calls, not getting rid of the ball quick enough at times when he gets double triple team. Every star faces this issue and it takes time overcome it. Jalen unlocking his potential would help Alpi, our cornerstones franchise needs each other!
Wish they could trade jalen green and van fleet and keep this guy!
Nobody cares about FVV helping the turn around , he has a overplayed contract and if we can get off him and get Fox bye bye, a Fred and Fox backcourt sounds horrible
The guys complaining about reed must not have watched his game much he doesn’t have the pt to get in rhythm but his playmaking and defense + shooting gives him the opportunity to learn in real time cam in the G league benefits his pace confidence allows him to be a THE GUY while still showing maximum effort playing defense and willingness to get everyone involved now he comes back on fire we have reed for when we move on from Fred we need him soaking all this in immediately stop panicking real fans come together and support our guys love everyone on the team ! Yes we need things but we also have things still in development our guys can shoot the ball once we do we’re winning by 15-20 a night our chemistry is high energy is high let’s ride this wave yall keep complaining like 2 years ago we weren’t in hell 🫤
When Tari comes back, if we keep both Reed and Cam in the group what about playing smaller as everyone been playing solid defense and you just slightly increase Jabari's minutes at the 5 if you need size. Then you put Stevo in the game only if Alpi is BSing in first half of games
So many of yall were really convinced that Cam Whitemore was actually unplayable, don’t switch up now
