    Such great news!
    I was worried with the way he walked off the court so gingerly!

    I am hoping that Amen may be one of those SPECIAL rare uber athletes like Lebron where they shake off minor things really quickly and never get maj......... I'm not gonna jinx it!

    It sucks because Portland half assed a tank two years in a row and got Sharpe and Scoot while still having
    Damian Lillard. And then they’re going to get even more assets to add to the those two when Lillard is traded. The Spurs tank for 1 year and get Wemby. The Rockets really had to go through it for 3 years.

    I am still to be convinced that "stick man" is going to be a "generational" player. So far, just sort of lumbering around out there.

    Smith in the in game interview said I want to lead the team. When asked how. He just walked to the court. This was bigger than the game itself.

    Can Cam take more shots? :)

    That out of the way, he was relentless guarding his man. Love to see the effort.

    He does have more speed than Jalen. He is a better athlete than Jalen too… Jalen is a top 10 athlete in the NBA and Amen is top 2-3, and possibly #1.

    5-18 tough night shooting compounded by his crazy bad tunnel vision. I don't think it's a stretch to say he had a bad game.

    Amen is nice!!
    Its going to be interesting to see what Rockets do here. Do they insert him at the 3 this year behind Brooks? Would he start next year? Very impressed with his control and poise.

    Cam needs to learn when to pass the ball. I have no complaints other than that for his first nbaish game. Amen looks miles ahead of any rookie I can remember seeing for the rockets. He just looks like he understands what he needs to do on the floor and also what the team needed of him. Just seeing his understanding and skill and floor vision has me more excited to watch than any rockets rookie I've seen since Yao. He look special.

    I stopped watching after the Amen injury

    Just checked the box score, and Bari ended up with 33?? What exactly did I just miss?
