They eked that one out, but a win is a win. I hope Jabari is ok. This was a critical game since tiebreakers could be a factor in making the play-in. The Rockets are already 0-2 against the Warriors and 1-2 against the Lakers.
I like Fred, but that man dont pass to nobody except sengun. The offense was more dynamic with Jalen just passing to guys open in the offense. Jalen passes to bari, sengun and Cam. All sets i haven't seen with Fred running point.
Unfortunately, I'm sure Jabari is out for a few weeks. Gonna be rough. Our defense has already been slipping and now it's bout to get to Silas levels bad and we are already very very short handed with size.
I thought Jalen did his job in OT. No turnovers, nothing dumb, just get it to the stars and be ready. Now the rest of the game…he was absolute ass Cam breathing down his neck
The best news - the Celtics can stay at the strip club a few more hours- Rockets got their win in already on the b2b
I think it is about the team not wanting to give up on Jalen to show support as a franchise to a young player from a PR perspective, and also his trade value will tank. They need him to get it together for the benefit both parties. They invested A LOT into jalen, tanking a full season is giving up like hundreds of millions in revenue. My guess is that if Jalen is still around after the deadline, he may be switching roles with Cam after.
