Jackson now you know how to watch a basketball match with one—even half open—eye.
Lets do a Turkish Dub for this channel Jackson, hit me up if you are interested
Serbia game was a real battle, it effected both team at the last 16
Thank you for the show, Jackson. It is no joke man. Serbia and Nicola are knocked out of the tournament by a supposedly lower team, Markkanen of Finland. Germany won in the weirdest way against Portugal.They only broke the spine of Portugal late in the game when one German player started knocking down 3-pointers. Until that time their 3-pointer rate was around 10% (2 of 29 or so). They were not good in the paint either. So it seems, when a lesser team can start firing 3-pointers not being afraid of loosing anything and you cannot do the same, it becomes difficult to win.
Do not compare Sengun to Jokic. Jokic impacts wi… Wait what?
Houston ❤🇹🇷
The reason for benching Cedi for a while is him getting early fouls
I woke early for every single Rockets game. There is the occasional 9-10 PM game once or twice. But most of the time, the Rockets and Alp are the joy and the pain I have in my life.
We all love basketball ❤
we actually come from bats and owls 😛
Scheduling the game at noon was at the very least was a very bad organization on the part of FIBA. Türkiye has become one of the favorites of the tournament and this was also a very bad decision making in terms of broadcasting and ratings. I don't know if anyone caught this but at the very beginning of the game, Cedi was yawning. However, the bad performance of Türkiye was mainly due to the culture and mentality of Turkish people. After such a great win against Serbia, I am sure some of the players were thinking that they were already in the final and got into laid-back attitude, very typical of our culture. But I hope this game had an awakening effect.
Adem foulıng 3poınter reminds me of Tari
Thanks for your support for Türkıye 🇹🇷 We support the Rockets and your channel too 💪🏼
The favourites Serbia is out… Daddy Sengun is moving on:) The Joker Era is over? 🙂
3:00 – As European fan, we dont wake up. We have NBA app and watch when we wake up. Playoff is another story. April-June if Rockets are good is a risk for divorse and getting fired. 2 months of horrible sleep amd dissapointments. I loved these team building years 😂
Excellent coverage. Possession of the game is the block -dunk sequence as you say.
Coach is not making rotation. Alpi was very tired. I believe Ataman is secretely jelaus of Alpi. He is yring to injure him and ruin his career. Very limited minutes given to Bona none is given to Yurtseven and Sanli, one ex Nba player other one is Sanli ex Barca player. I hate our coach he has no game plan, Alpi is doing everything even the tactics.
Hello from London! Tough watching nba games late!
appreciate you doing this for us Jackson
Man, I am shocked that Serbia lost to Finland. And we were about to lose to Sweden.
Eurobasket is a real challenge.
Alperen couldn’t get his potential yet.
How such a game can be started at 12 noon! Disgraceful!
Jackson. thank you for covering the rockets since i became a rockets fans since John Wall rockets legend days. …you see. im from a minority for Asian fans. not even one Asian is on rockets nowadays. still. I love the rookies rockets draft from back then until now. thank you for coverage the rockets for long as you are now. hope you happy doing what u do in future as well. greetings from Malaysia 😊
since you are looking for some reminders Jackson, I'm really surprised that you didn't touch the "speed run" by Alpi, at the end of the game. Alpi is special, and he is amazing on nearly all sides of the floor. But his "the one/ special" talent is his IQ. He reads the game better than everyone else. After the free throw hit, with 45 seconds left by Sweden, Apli got the ball and started running coast to coast, and the score was 82 77 at that time. All he needed to do was burn the time as much as he could, but he targeted the rim, and it was almost an offensive foul. He can't do that. He can miss shots, we know his tired, but he is the brain. This is the only real concern for me from this game, and I'm super glad we can see all those lessons in a win game.
Really excited for the rest of the tournament and the upcoming season, what the Rockets can do with this new Alpi leap + Amen and KD!
It's so cool to listen Socrates Dergi and come here and hear the same topic in English from Jackson. It feels like you are one of us, they and you speak the exactly same things and with the same emotions:) (Turkish vs English)
ty jackson
The Turkish team should learn on waking up at 6am and with small portion of brunch to play a game at noon😂
Dude, i evolved to watch you more than our own Turkish commentators 😀
The Texans played their first game at 3:25 today. Against the Rams.
@lockedonrockets hey Jackson- been going through a plethora of your past pods as well as new and you've got me ultra hyped for this upcoming season. You're first in line for my gym listening playlist. Keep up the good work! I'm also in Spring- Id love to meet up talk ball and catch an away game this season.
You're great, man, keep going ❤ Turkey wins the Poland match differently.
Has anyone seen anyone lost in Riga, Serbia ??😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ya ❤
Hey man, thanks for your coverage for Turkish national team, this way of building bridges between nations and cheer together through basketball is one of the best sides of this game
I got the courtside1891 subscription so I can play the entire game back at my leisure. Turkiye just had the usual let down after a huge game like Serbia. I thought they did a great job keeping it close after coming out flat, in order to have a chance to come back late. I really wanna see Turkiye play Germany, now that will be a game!
Selamlar.
Alperen ve Türkiye yorumlarınız için teşekkürler, doğru okumalar.
Şimdi, NBA'de bir sürü Alperen ile ilgili, küçük görüldüğü, underestimate edildiği gib ibir sürü video var.
Bu normal.Çünkü Türkiye'dede,olduğundan küçük görüldü.Mesela meşhur, bilinen basket yorum yüzleri, benim çocukluğumdan beri takip ettiğim, ben de amatör bir basketbol oyuncusu olarak Kaan Kural, Murat Murat Han oğulları, NBA'ye gittiğinde yorumlara bakın.Yorumlar aslında güzel okuma sonucu değil.
Onca takipçileri var ama Alperen okunamadı, küçümsendi.
Hatta en iyi basketbolcu işte, hali hazırda daha şimdi 23 yaşında, başka kim var?
Mehmet Okur, Hidayet Türkoğlu belki, Federasyon başkanı kıskanıyordur belki onu bilmiyorum.
Onlarda çok başarılı elbette.
Kendisini de severiz, Hidayet Türkoğlunun.
Diğer başarılı NBA'ye giden Türk oyuncularındab biri hariç hangisi MVP seçildi?
Seçilmedi.
Onlar uzun kategorisinde.Hangi uzun bu kadar başarılı oldu?
Hem oyun kurucu, eski usul, old school dediğimiz basketbol stili, ego yok, takım için oynuyo, ribound canavarı. Atatürk tarzı oyuncu Alperen;Zeki, akıllı, çevik ve ahlaklı.
Atletikliği de fena değil.
Bir Giannis kadar, çok ileri düzeyde olmayabilir ama gelişiyor.
Alperen'le konuşamadım hiç.
Belki siz konuşursunuz.
Michael Jordan'ı değil de Wilt Chamberlain'i örnek alsa daha yarar görür..
Çünkü o gelmiş geçmiş en iyi atlet diye nitelendirilir ve uzun oyuncudur.
100 sayı atmış bir adam tek maçta.50 ribaunt ortalamalar.
Tabii bizim Erman da çok daha fazlasını attı. O da dünya basınında çok bilinmez ama hani uzun olarak Wilt de 7.1 idi.
Alperen de bayağı uzun.
Bir 5-6 cm fark var.
Gerekli çalışmaları yaparsa bir Wilt Chamberlain gibi olabileceğine inanıyorum.
Sadece Türk değil, dünya basketine hediye Alpy, inşallah sağlıklı kalır, kalabilir de.
Aileye, hayata karşı sevgi dolu, güzel bir insan,alçakgönüllü bir genç.
Şimdiden çok büyük başarılara imza attı.
Ben yorumlarda bile bizim altın madalyayı beklemememiz bile küçüöseme, hani nasıl eskiden 8-0 futbolda yenilirdik, bizden adam olmaz derdik.
Hala bu aşağılık kompleksini atamamışız.
Yani Almanya iyi olabilir ama favori biziz Avrupa'da ki şu an en iyileri NBA liGiannis gibi.
Giannis de takımına çok yararlı.
Fakat takım yararı olarak baktığında istatistikler, Alperen çok daha iyi.
Yani mümkün değildi Alperen olmadan Houston 2.olsun.
Onun takımında Amen Thompson gerçekten Alperen'den atletik olarak üstün ama şu an Kevin Durant gelmesine rağmen, bu yıl bir aksilik, sakatlık olmazsa şampiyon olurlar.
O kadar iyiler.
Takımdan Alperen'i çıkar, zor.
Çok iyi oyuncular aldılar ama Alperen'in benzersiz bir özelliği var.
Zaten, takımın sahibi, Houston'ın sahibi biz de de Alperen'i bilerek seçtik dedi.Türkiyedrki oyunundan amlamışlar.18 yaşında kaç kişi MVP olmuş.
Birinci ve ikinci draft'tı verdiler OKC'den almak için.OKC takımı almıştı Alperen'i.
Alperen desteklenmesi de gereken bir oyuncu.
O Bandırma'dan yükselişi, yetenekleri.
Çünkü böyle yetenekler her zaman gelmez.
Ben, amatör bir basketbol oyuncusuyum sadece ama bu yetenekleri gördüm.
Hala goat tartışmasında Wilt'in farkına varmamaları gibi.
Yani siyasi yaklaşımlar var, bilmiyorum.
Wilt Chamberlain gelmiş geçmiş en iyi basketbol oyuncusudur.
bunu en büyük, o zamanki ikinci kişi efsane Bill Russel'da onaylar.KareemAbdulcabbarı tarihte bloklayabilen tek kişi.
Alperen de bu düzeyde yüksek bir yetenektir ve Türkiye'nin gelmiş geçmiş en yetenekli ve istatistik olarak da şu an en iyi istatistiklere sahip oyuncusudur.
Hakkını vermek gerekir.
Ve biz, diğerlerini de desteklersek çünkü Alperen ve Larkin'i kapatmaya çalışırken Giannis 20'leri geçer, 30'u bulabilir. Fakat dikkatli oynarsan, biraz şutörlerimize iş düşüyor..Çünkü Alperen NBA'de de aynı.
Adamı tutamıyorlar.
İki kişi, üç kişi sıkıştırma.
Eğer iyi bir şutör olsa, Kevin Larkin Houston'da olsa Houston şampiyondu.
Şut atacak adam yoktu.
Asistleri de, 10'un üzerinde olurdu. Triple double'ı da en az 10 tane olurdu. 20 tane triple double yapabilecek adam.
Bunlar gerçekler.
Biraz Alperen'i küçültmeyelim.
Hakkını verelim, destekleyelim diyorum.
