It wasn’t amen because we lost , you talking turnovers , KEVIN DURANT IS AVERAGING DAMN NEAR 3-4 turnovers this season
The real problem is they thought KD was gonna be the game changer.
Trade him to the Raptors
0:40 – Scottie Barnes might be the perfect PG for the Rockets. If you swapped him with Sengun, he can Run the center spot more comfortably on defense. Really think about it before you laugh, and you'll understand what I mean.
Scottie and KD can be a dynamic Duo on offence,
and on defense Scottie. Amen, Tari would wreck havoc maybe all of them make an all defensive team.
If your worried about the half court game, there probably won't be as much, the consistent movement will cause chaos.
The return to Houston needs to happen!
Amen thompson sucks jabri smith has extremely under achieved fred went to play in Bahamas without teams permission and mortgaged our future. They all got to go
Ben Simmons was an elite passer and elite defender
lol you trade your defense…silly takes
I been saying Amen overrated as fuck
That’s where you messed up at thinking KD was the piece you need to get chip
trey murphy for amen
Jordan is stupid ime udoka is the problem he’s not a good offensive head coach people need realize we have only been a good team because of defense the Celtics made it to the finals in 22 with udoka because of defense he’s a terrible offensive coach when we struggled to generate points in that half court 😂 this nigga udoka just said high get the rebounds instead of scheming to make easier shots while having a point guard. Rockets fans and udoka thought bringing in kd was going to change everything and as a rockets fan I’ve been saying nun will change this rockets team is 23 years old just cus okc was young and have top 2 player in the world doesn’t mean rockets should be able to win a ring okc is just in they greatness era they are historic for a reason rockets are going to try and chase greatness and burn in the sun just like they did with harden against the warriors you can’t out play historically great teams San Antonio also has a generational talent stop comparing this team to teams that are just simply great. We are a young team that needs development and have a bad offensive coach if stone was smart when udoka suggested and forced him to trade for kd I would’ve fired his ass and hired udoka especially if your building around sengun because he literally built and developed the nuggets and at least actually won a ring with a top ten offense and defense not just with scoring points in transition or relying on offensive rebounding second chance points the nuggets in 23 was a great half court offense Aaron Gordon developed a three ball while being under Mike Malone as well literally this rockets core has the exact same personnel in a few years can be the nuggets sengun-jokic amen-Gordon Jabari-mpj Reed-Murray ime udoka is the mark jackson of the rockets while mike Malone would be Steve Kerr get this man out of Houston his lineups are nasty double big doesn’t work that first game against the nuggets he literally iced out the best player in that game which inevitably lost us the game which was Reed. He relies too much on iso never had any ball movement and that goes back to his days in okc people forget how warriors defense was dominating Tatum and brown in iso making brown dribble left and udoka never adjusted
He’s right. Lots of fans are too swayed by the potential of the Thompson twins. Your wing players have to threaten the perimeter and neither of them do. Idk if I’d trade him right now but I agree with his criticism
Trade for Lámelo Ball
Thompson for Giannis?
It's not hard to see why Houston as a franchise has struggled and went back to rebuilding every 2-3 years on a rhythm you can sleep to after the days of Hakeem.
Houston fans suck.
Yall are worse than Real Madrid fans, and THATS FUCKING SAYING SOMETHING.
Rickets can hold.it.down till trade deadline trade capela free up 7 mil plus cap exceptiin because of fvv injuried we can find a pg for 7 to 10 mil😊
Deonte Murray will be available soon
Amen for Garland?
Outro fire
Amen isn't even remotely the problem, the issue is Ime has a fetish for adultery and defense, and he couldn't give less of a shit about offense so he puts out god awful lineups with no spacing or basically just says "idk KD or Sengun just make something happen".
Don’t speak on my team ever again
I hate KD fans bro, Rockets aren't blowing up to go all in on a 37 year old KD… he knew exactly what he was coming to, unfortunately fred went down but no reason to blow everything up especially when Fred saying he could be back for the playoffs
Alperen Sengun is sloopy and ball hogging. Always backing up in the paint with that flat hook shot. Jokic don't play like that… He drives straight in and shoots over your ass! Need to play off of Reed Shepard so KD won't get double teamed.
Lol yo how long has chill been watching basketball? Jesus Christ
The Kevin Durant experience , trade away all your defenders and young players for someone who won’t bring you anything besides 25ppg on good efficiency.
What Jordan is talking about is more glaring with Ausar and the Pistons. The lack of shooting is a problem, but trading Amen is ludicrous. They need a reliable point, though.
Its ime… he doesnt have a competent offensive system same as last year.. and here i thought they now have hired an offensive minded coach… i guess ime's pride just would not let it bro…
Looool chill just said Ben wasnt better than amen LMAO wtf are we doing man
the rockets starting 5 isnt a issue its there bench outside of eason there bench is trash when aaron holiday is getting minutes your bench is garbage
Josh Giddy is the best example of free throws being a forecast for better 3pt shooting. We even saw Lonzo turn into a shooter pre injury. It’s silly to say amen won’t get better.
At the end of the day, when they trade for that other piece,.. someone has to go! Reed, tari,sengun, bari…… who you letting go
Players choice crew am from Ghana and I like the panel how can be a member of your crew so I can comment on the live
send em to the lakers then we’ll gladly take em
Idk if Rockets need a PG but they have to set plays for KD…either Sengun or Reed needs to make plays for KD…..No one can defend him at that height
reaves and a first for amen and reed shepard who says no👀
Honestly instead of KD we should have traded for Devin Booker he’s younger if Fred went down like this offseason we could have used him at point guard as well
As a quick fix too the team though we need reed at point guard maybe Amen at 2 depending on how Tari comes back in my opinion and no double big line up
I think Jared McCain is the Man for the job
I stop watching when one of them mentioned trading for lebron, this show is not serious
