  1. DISCLAIMER: We recorded this before seeing Cam Whitmore's postgame comments. We will discuss those in our next episode.

  2. Hi Jackson. I disagree with the title. Jalen with 20 points per 20 shots did not lead us anywhere. We need to upgrade our guads ASAP.

  3. Was crazy how hard they was pushing playing Reed and sending Cam to the g league , hope they see now Cak need pt and reed needs time unless he gone hit his shots he gone be a bad pick , I wanted Stephon Castle or Rob Dillingham , I know rockets needed shooting but Reed had too many other things against him , size, speed etc , Time will tell and I hope I’m wrong but this might be our worst pick in the rebuild , Castle leading rookie of the year , could’ve been another long athletic player 🤷🏾‍♂️

  4. Every time Jalen gets the ball, I get shivers. We never know what he is going to do. He is so low in efficiency.

  5. here we go, pump and dump jackson + jealous madison. look at madison face when the word Sengun or Alpi drops, look at him cant hide his hate 🙂

  6. jackson cant even process and identify how the rockets forced single coverage for Alpi..
    this is low Basketball IQ from jackson.. right here right now as evidence.. so yall know and see what u are watchn…

  7. You would think with a record of 22-11, 3rd seed in the West, and playoffs on the horizon, we could be happy. But real fans have to endure watching idiots disguising themselves as fans of our team. Nobody that is in Rockets spaces are even Rockets fans anymore. Just a bunch of losers hating on players that they don't like. Shout out to all the real Rockets fans that actually root for our team and all the players that play on it. The rest of yall are evolving in reverse. Please leave and never come back.

  8. Stop the Jalen hate. He has stepped up and carried the ball for the first time all game!! He used his gravity to our advantage and played well. Now he needs to learn how to manipulate defenses with his eyes and faints so slow down in the paint. Give hom another year with that. GREAT GAME! Cam definitely helping with spacing and now does the little things (pass the rock, rebound, box out, no defensive gambling). Alpi does not need to run the offense to get 20 and 10 stop the cap y'all. LEAVE it with Jalen and let him learn. Keep Fred off ball I want to see him on ball only when Jalen is tired because he has no gravity and can not make shots and already do enough defensively as a defensive quarterback.

  9. They often played a 3-4 defense on Alpi, but he showed very good resistance, reducing the opponent's gap when he was not the leader of the game.

  10. Jalen was good about reading the defense and making multiple attempts to dribble to the basket. He had a game like that at the beginning of the season. Then it seemed like he just forgot how to play that way. Are we going to see more play like what he did this game in the future? I wouldn't bet on it.

  11. Pulled it out against a crippled mavs team! WHOOO-HOO! Again we to overcome poor guard play ,FVV was atrocious! That guy FVV needs to be benched or traded. Call me a hater but he sucks!

  12. I want jalen off this team just so the discourse within the fan base can stop 😂. The stans will say jalen should have 40% usage and nobody else should handle the ball and the haters will say he should be in China. I'm so sick of jalen green discourse. Imo the guy is a microwave scorer, he's like JR smith

  13. Go 🚀 rockets. Wasn’t able to catch the game living in Dallas nba pass doesn’t work for local games smh

  14. Sorry but Jalen belongs to street courts not Nba courts. He has not reached that mental maturity, and he will never reach it. He has no basketball IQ. The mentality is that I'll just dribble the ball and if it goes in, it will go in, or I'll shoot a three-pointer and maybe make it in.

  15. FvV Play 42 minutes 😂 only 5 Points ITS time for pension😂
    Alpi for All Star 🚀🔥💥💪🇹🇷

  16. Cap once Cam came in the game changed. I don’t care he got off to a slow start this season he should’ve never been sent to the g league and this organization was stupid to prioritize Reed over him because he’s not or never been a better overall player. Rockets better stop playing politics and go with the best guy if they want to get back to championship winning. Let the best man who deserves it play.
