The Rockets are young & not ready for prime time yet
An interesting thing about the Rockets getting into it with other teams. Untill this year, every time they got heated with another team (even going back to the Silas era), they were undefeated.
This year they finally lost one against Sac.
After last season, hell even last game where Rockets scored 91 and Alpi had 26/11/5 with 3 steals, why is the Jalen Green talk overshadowing the fact that Alpi is the guy? That’s a little disrespectful tbh.
#ThunderUp 🎉
That bad boys reference was wack
