Amen Thompson & Jalen Green Lead The Way As Houston Rockets CRUSH Spurs Without Victor Wembanyama
What is Amen Thompson’s ceiling? With a standout performance in a blowout win against the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets are watching a future superstar grow right before their eyes. Thompson’s potential, likened to a blend of Russell Westbrook and Giannis Antetokounmpo, is a focal point, showcasing his rapid improvement and potential.
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) explores how the Rockets dominated the Wemby-less Spurs on both ends, Jalen Green’s development as a lead guard, Dillon Brooks’ unexpected sharpshooting role, and Steven Adams’ impactful playmaking off the bench. The episode also touches on Jabari Smith Jr.’s post-injury struggles and how these dynamics shape the Rockets strategy.

Lets talk about Houston fans, they literally suck. Empty seats, no positive reactions during the game. The worst element in Houston organisation is its fans.
Did you guys forget how to cheer, or are you just here for the snacks? ​​I've heard louder support from my grandma’s knitting club!
I’ve seen tumbleweeds in the desert make more noise than this crowd!.
C’mon Houston, even NASA can hear a pin drop in here.
Houston, we have a problem… and it’s this crowd sleeping on Alperen’s greatness!
this guy is banana sucker
You can see the elite potential in Cam and Sheppard… Tate and Holiday? Not so much.
What would you give up for durant?
Good win last night
​​they come back from snacking in the middle of 3rd quarte :)))), great fans Houston ahahahaha :)))))))))))
Amen and Ausar trying to get thiae Kyrie handles that crossover on Tatum was noooiiice!!
What I've been saying showed it's ugly head last night. ITS TIME TO TRADE CAM WHITMORE. I really hate to say that but it's true & very evident. Cam is a VERY good basketball player but what he mostly lacks is MATURITY. He acts like that lil boy who wants to take his ball home cus nobody picks him to play. It's very discouraging to watch & I see why coach has him glued to the bench. It's time to trade him before he crashes all the way out & loses trade value.
Helllo hello dont forget Alpi buddy he is the ALL STAR
Everybody must understand that Cam Whitmore is not a basketball player but just a shooter. He does not understand modern basketball. He is just a sporadic shooter. I'd get rid of him;sooner the better.
Dare I say Amen is playing like a lite version of Giannis?
sengun haters : bla bla ihebe hube
sengun fans : hold my banana
Only hope to keep Cam as a long term Rocket is to play the restricted free agency card. At this point DB and FVV will be gone and he will have his opportunity. It would be sad to see him grow in an other franchise
Hakeem has been working with Sengun sense his rookie year. Amen? That would be insane
The most important player on this team is Jalen Green u not see it because he is playing all game since ime took this team hope jalen have a team that can showcase his talent by a trade this off season I tired of this podcaster /sportswriter and u tuber who disrespect Jalen a lot only amen and sengun a good on them not jalen like this Jackson who hate jalen a lot
Lack of fans… bigg problem….
🚀🚀🚀
Alpi didnt need a high scoring game to be effective this game with that said jalen, dillion, and amen was balling… furthermore i tired of u fans and pundits making differences between our players…only praising 1 to crap on the others
I hope alp will get traded this off-season.. houston is not the place for him.. he gets so much hate from the toxic houston fans too..
Sengun was still the 4th best player despite the weirdness. Amen was the MVP of the game. Bari still kinda goofing around. Had a fantastic first game back but all downhill from there lol.
Go Rockets!!!
Which struggle is the host talking about?.. alp played less than 20 minutes, Lol..
udoka did not even allow alp to play entire 3rd quarter..
Like I always say.. I hope Alp will get traded from houston.. the rockets is not the place for him to reach his full potential..
Amen is improving rapidly because he has always had a good coach. Jalen went from high school, to G-league to two years under Silas. He NEVER had to develop discipline until last year. And in FVV absence it’s exposed his (and Amen’s) deficiency as a point guard and ball distributor. Once he masters the pick & roll with Sengun he’ll unlock a new level.
Where are these excuses for Jalen AP plays bad and it was just a off night but he didn’t play bad
