How far do you think this years Houston Rockets can go in the playoffs fully healthy, no trades?
WCF is the ceiling, but no one is beating a healthy OKC this year. However, an injury to OKC means HOU can get to the finals
Listen i do not dislike jalen green. But i need to see consistency from jalen. We have seen hot streaks like this before then he goes back to being terribly inconsistent. I dont have alot of expectations for this team because we are young and i am at that wait see point if jalen is going to stay consistent . Im happy we are just winning as of now
@roosh when that JG4 jersey coming ? Lol
Losing streak hell naw y’all didn’t believe
WCF
jalen has been incredible, but the most underrated part of his nba career is that HE PLAYS EVERY GAME. there’s value in that
Fred is needed in the 4th qtr under 7 mins
We need a trade even on the MARGIN Go for Cam johnson from what I've seen he WOULDN'T be that expensive, and he would instantly be our #1 at PF. We would still have plenty of assets to get a star in the off-season. If we don't use our expiring contracts, then they are just wasted. As good as we are doing, you can allwaysximprove the team and might help make a deeper run in the post-season if not only a series deeper. Jeff Green, TATE and a 1st of ours, and maybe a couple 2nds. Might throw in a swap if you need a sweetner.
FVV NEEDS TO GO IN A FOX DEAL OR OTHER PG DEAL.
Dillon's replacement is already on the team, its Amen.
One move euro😂
Dynamic Duo back in the mix! Congrats to Roosh on his All NBA podcast appearance!
Y’all get these likes up !!!
FINALS !
he is great but dont expect him to be great on every game then talk trash about him, his SG position can easily has bad few games, just look at Anthony Edward, Dovovan Mitchell stats, this kid will be the next Kobe, count on it
Ceiling is finals.
Jalen feeds off Amen energy and should start. Jabari should play a similar role in sengun off bench. It will allow Jabari more touches and help him get better . Lmk what you think??
Great pod guys. my ceiling for the team is WCF. I don't think we can beat OKC. my big 3 is Jalen, Alperen and Amen. I said before the season this team would win 50 games, so through the 1st half they have been better than even I thought they would be. I think we should wait until the end of this season before making any trades. we need to see this team in the playoffs before trying to upgrade it. I have defended Jalen since he was drafted, but even I have had some doubt along the way. I really became incouraged when Ime took over because I figured if anybody could develope him Ime could. I agree with you Frank, while it has been a rollercoaster ride there has also been slow but steady improvement. you can see him figuring things out. more times than not he's making good decisions. I think we are begining to see the influnce of Ime blosoom in Jalen's game. dare I say it……….Jalen's basketball IQ has begun to expand?
Amen needs to develop a floater game. If he can add that consistently that would be great. If trae young can do it so can he
Great show guys looks like patience has paid off. I’m a Rockets fan happy for them all.
The org had more patience than me and I commend them greatly for it. Even the contract is turning out to be smart at this point. Congrats to Stone and team for so many moves working out so far.
Everyone should really really thank Ime for this proving to be an incredible incredible coach. Coached superstar finals team. Coached trash worst team in the league and has made them great. Very impressive.
why everyone keep forgetting JG is only 22 years old…….
Thanks guys
Our test will be next couple week where we will be tested by very tough teams and we’re not at full strength
Western Conference Finals if they can avoid a healthy Dallas team
I’d say WCF would probably be our ceiling. My prediction is that we’re a tough 2nd round exit similar to OKC last year.
If the olny way we can win against the good teams is if someone gets hurt or out then we need to make a trade asap. If we can win playing at a high level then who needs to go
Ppl be upset cuz their favorite player may not be leading us🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Man how can it be unexplicable to you why JG is shooting better from the arc. He hasn't turned into Larry Bird overnight….he's just learning what shots to take and what shots not to take….that alone improves your % by 5% easy, and your colleague had just finished explaining that concept. Lol
We like a Fast phase play.especially in our Country.we tend to be lazy if we watch a Slow Game..
I don’t get on twitter anymore so not aware of what the brain rotted takes are anymore. With that said this is the most fun Rockets team I remember since the 65 win season. It’s been amazing to watch the young core lead us to this second seed. And love watching Jalen play up to his potential, Amen breakout, and Sengun being an absolute all star. Nothing to complain about when you aren’t worried about dumb fans takes.
Roosh is still low key hating🤣🤣🤣🤣 this guy
the Rockets must improve on 3Reys to be a good contender for championship. Defense is good.. Just develop consistency on Green, shepherd , whitmor on treys, and everything is fine. FVV and Brooks also need consistency. no need for Sengun he is fine for his improving play as long as they have got their chemistry of play.
Great Jalen analysis from both of you! His processing and playmaking has grow so much. The game is starting to slow down for him. It’s easy to see that Jalen loves playing with Amen for the pace
This team is mindboggling. On paper, they are supposed to be a terrible team. On this current starting 5, they're criminally undersized in every position, and they have 2 non-shooters on the court. How are they so good?!
Wish rockets will go to finals.Keep Doing good Rockets!
None of the "experts" had us even in the play in game, so enjoy this season as much as possible.
Jalen’s making better decisions with regularity, he’s keeping energy on offence despite consistently working hard on D, he looks like the game has slowed down for him, he has gotten so crafty in getting to the rim, and he’s still 22.
Unlike March, this ‘hot streak’ isn’t making impossible shots, it’s all repeatable/sustainable except for the high end outside shooting. His form is sweet, so I think it’ll come in time, but I also think that it won’t go in the toilet for long stretches, it just won’t be this high all the time. And he doesn’t need it to be.
And lastly, something he doesn’t get enough credit for is his personality/character. He’s almost always infectiously joyful, his teammates clearly love him, for a much hyped draft pick he works hard and doesn’t pout when Ime gives him tough love. Did you see his interview the other day, where he was very open and humble about his weaknesses, said himself that he has had a tendency to float when not engaged and has to stay on top of himself to make sure that doesn’t happen…refreshingly objective for a big time athlete.
My rockets are the most exciting team ive ever seen!
The only team in entire nba that scares me is okc. We very well could win the whole fucking thing this year.
I don’t agree about Amen lacking vision, though. I think he’s pretty gifted there. I think it’s more that he either gets going too fast for his developing handle at times, and/or it’s just not getting time on task. If his handle gets a bit better I’d trust him at the 1. Especially playing alongside of Jalen who can assume the lead guard when needed, and particularly Alpi’s capacity to be a playmaking hub.
