Ime just forgot Alperen on the bench in those stupid period. It was going to be his mistake if the Rockets had lost the game.
That advertisement for “skims” triggers me to want to use “talk space” 😂
Alpy – Fred – Amen wanted to win.
Garland Udoka and Tari didn't.
Luckily we won.
Amen is like Scottie Pippen.
Alp so lazy. 0 hustle except last 5 minutes
Only Nick "the Brick" Anderson out-choked Darius "the Lameius" Garland.
End of the match… The one who couldn't score scored… The one who scored couldn't score…
What a game im in Australia I took a double lunch break to watch it on my phone i was very animated 😂
FUCK BOOK AND FOX , get Darius in here nowwwww!! he already a Rocket legend
Hey udoka hadi ama yeter
Ngl I’m surprised they didn’t call a foul on Jarrett Allen before Sengun clutch hook shot. Also we already know what Amen does which is LOCKDOWN the best player! When Tari fouled Darius Garland and turn into a flagrant as well I was shocked but hey DG missed those clutch free throws.
Artık kesin emin oldum ne alperen bu takımı hak ediyor ne bu koç Alperen’e hak ediyor ne de alperen bu takımda kalmayı hak ediyor basketbolu sadece kendilerinin bildiklerini sanan Teksaslılar lütfen artık açıp MVP sıralamasına bir baksınlar hiçbir Amerikalı göremediklerinde ZIP ZIP Zıplas tat ZIP ZIP Zıpla şu tat basketbolunun öldüğünü ve artık basketbolun tek hakiminin onlar olmadığını anlayacaklar
I love the Rockets' team. There are different star players in each game. 🎉
The Basketball Gods FINALLY smiled upon us
After the last foul I cut the game off mad, thinking we lost then got the notification that the rockets beat the cavs , I thought the app was tripping or I misread , I said how
videoyu izlemek için açtım ama sağdaki adamı görünce kapattım. by
alpi'ye hakaret tweet'i atan adamı siksen izlemem
The beginning of 4th qtr without sengun jalen and Fred is a recipe for disaster with Adams Tate amen Tari and cam in a zone defense what the hell ime thinking 4 none shooter and no playmaker that is why the 11 pt lead was cut
Tari Eason was ecstatic about the win, but still he needs to learn from this, when he fouled the 90% free throw shooter, it meant there was a 72% chance that they lost, if we assume uniform performance during the clutch (I know clutch shots are harder and he was shooting ft's badly), in fact, there was only about 3% chance that this game wouldn't be lost or go to overtime.
Darius "Judy" Garland building that yellow BRICK road from all his free throw misses! 😂😂😂
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road…….
I'm a Rocket Man ………..🚀🚀🚀
This kind of games is the reason why I think the Rocket should prioritize shooters rather than another big like rob Williams. Teams throwing Zones at the Rockets bcos they know they’re a poor 3 points shooting team and it does bother the Rockets a lot. Remember the Heat and Timberwolves games? They need zone busting shooters of the bench bro. The piston have it in Malik Beasley.
I really hope this isn’t Jalen green telling us he fooled us last month this is the exact reason I was hesitant to celebrate him….same damn story everytime you get excited about him
It felt like rewinding time somehow watching the end of that game. I wished somehow they could redo that play and boom… it didn't matter. I almost turned it off. I was saying out loud… "He ain't missing these free-throws." then he missed two.
That Christmas tree is gonna start owing you rent if it hangs out for too much longer.
