  1. Takımda oyun kurucu eksikliği var. VV yokken sıkıntı oluyor. Diğer yerlerde herhangi bir sıkıntı yok hatta fazlalık var. Adams bile geldiğinden daha iyi ve keyif almaya başladı. Şu an takım gerƧekten basketbol oynamayı seviyor.

  2. Hello bro. I watch your youtube videos from Turkey. You are doing a good job. You especially read Alperen's name and surname clearly. I hope you eyes get well soon.

  3. Dillon still takes too many shots. When Bari was healthy I wish he got those. Now it should be JG given how hot he is.

  4. Alpy : Great games back to back specially the defense he makes so efficient. If im not wrong he did his 26th double- double in 41 games we played. Last year was total 29 whole season i guess?
    Jalen : Still good consistently. Lets not say many good words to jinx it.
    Dillon Canadian Kobe Brooks.
    Tari : He is like never been injured. Such an impact in last 2 matches after missing so many games.
    Fred : We all know machine doesnt work well when he isnt around . We feel his absence hard. If alpy-amen-jalen plays like that he doesn't even need to score. He can just focus passing and job is done
    Cam : Double-Double? 12/10/3! Solid!
    S.Adams- Aaron – Tate : Always positive contribution

    Only problem with Rockets is ,

    Who is gonna be benched when jabari backs while Amen- Tari- Dillon all plays good ?

  5. id love 2 jordan poole added as a edition 2 the rockets if we end up getting rid of vanvleet for next season just wonder what it would take 2 bring him 2 houston dont want us 2 rid of some our young talents 2 do that

  6. Sengun reverted back to his old self last night. Udoka is not extending his time on the court lately. I have said that Sengun is not in shape. Proof of that was shown last night in the third quarter when he was gassed and had his hands on his knees bent over at the waist. I had a coach once who said that when a player is bent over at the waist with his hands on his knees to attack him because he was tired. He would pull any of his players from the game that showed that weakness. Sengun is still trying to make the all-star team. Last night he went back to trying to be the show and having the offense run through him. But look at how many shots he has bricked the last month. He misses shots close to the basket because he will not jump. He was again no help in the post against any and everyone on Portland who wanted to score down low. He exerted more effort against the Kings and I guess he was still tired from that effort. The other Rockets players know what I am saying is true and I say it because they can't criticize a team mate. I have been a Rocket fan longer than Sengun has been alive and so I feel entitled to call things as I see them. I have seen almost every game he has ever played for us. Getting in top physical condition should not be something you have to told to do. Amen, Cam, Tari, Jabari, Dillon, Steven, Jae Shun and Jeff are all in top physical condition. Only Sengun and Fred are not. Coach John Wooden's philosophy was for players to improve a little every day and make perfection the goal. His method for improving conditioning included one painful demand — each player, when reaching the point of exhaustion, was to push himself beyond. When this is done every day, top conditioning will be attained over time. Sengun has never been in top physical shape. He plays a lazy, old man game because he refuses to jump or run hard. Why is no one else telling him this?

  7. Man you trying to brake up the team with your way you saying things, how about you cover some wear else !!!!! No one is starting to feel you.. head's up.. you don't even look like a basketball player

  8. 7:20 Nah Jackson, you gotta walk some of this FVV Jalen green stuff back. Even in the video a couple of weeks ago when you were coming at Jalen for not stepping up I commented it was FVV limiting Jalen by becoming a crutch and doing too much vs letting Jalen get in a natural flow with the ball. Fred doing the most was causing Jalen’s struggles. Jalen’s struggles weren’t causing FVV to do the most. Seems semantically, but it’s definitely a nuance that is important to give real credit where it’s due vs just being like ā€œsee Jalen stepped up!ā€. Too many ppl who call themselves rockets fans where shitting on Jalen and his fans for even considering Fred’s constant on ball presence as a legit reason for Jalen’s struggles and we were 100% right. Jalen is a rhythm player who has ALWAYS improved with more touches (Touches not shots). Get more touches = Better Rhythm = Better Jalen Green

  9. Fred was even out here taking Tech fts over Jalen while Jalen was shooting 7% better from the line than him šŸ˜‚. That brother had to sit down and know his role. I wonder if it was the coaches who got in Fred’s ear or Jalen but I’m glad it happened. Now the rockets can really take the next step

  10. God win, I hope Tari is healthy for the rest of the season and Jab come back fast. We need both. I hope we win 50 games in october. Now we are in the line to win 57 games!!!!! Believe in this group! Believe in this kids! Love and respect Rockets Nation from Italy!!!šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰

  11. Got to say it is nice to have Tari back his hustle and energy was solely missed and Jalen and Sengun was dominated

    This was a win you needed to get the schedule gets thougher the next few weeks

  12. Proud to be an everydayer. Since 1992.
    I predicted a 50 game win season before the season started. I used to think We needed a trade but am now okay with letting it play out with this squad. We are not Championship contenders yet but certainly on the right track and trending upwards. As is we will make it to the 2nd round

  13. As a Rockets fan I gotta tell you that you complain about calls way too much. You say you don’t like doing it but you keep doing it. Set an example for how fans should be

  14. Nah, Steve-o told him off, because that’s a players and coaches nightmare. You’re up by heaps, the games beyond reach and someone makes a dangerous senseless play on one of your players in the last few minutes. There’s no point, you have to pull back. The guy seemed to take it in and the ref didn’t seem worried once he realised it wasn’t going to escalate.

  15. remember when Portland split their B2B in Houston? After that win, the Blazers players celebrated like they won a championship. Since then, Portland has gone 6-18 (.250), with members of Portland media running a smear campaign against their own fanbase.

  16. I gotta shoutout our front office it seems like we hit pretty good on previous drafts I really like the direction the team is going I think we’ll win 50 games this season….
