    Harden years were pretty ugly basketball by the Rockets, just spamming one on one by Harden or CP3 followed by spamming 3 point attempts. The way this team has overachieved and how hard they play has me completely bought in.

    We still have some pretty bad habits to get rid of, like letting other teams back in the game after being up big, but I believe a lot of that is due to us having a very young team and it’s part of the growing pains.

    Credit goes across the board tonight. Amen, Alpy and Jalen played like stars, as did Fred. Dillon played well, Eason with a clutch block, Adams draining free throws and the bench coming through.

    Shout out to Ime and the coaches, Great Team Win

    One other thing I really love about Amen is that he is always genuinely happy when another player or our team does well. Idk if anyone else noticed but Amen is always the first one off the bench to celebrate others. I hope with his attitude he is a Rocket for the next 20 years.

    He isn't selfish like some of our other players sometimes.

    Great win.

    Everybody chipped in and had moments to shine.

    Cleveland wanted this one bad and we stood tall.

    This definitely felt like a playoff game. The opposing coach pulled out multiple tricks to slow us down; zone defense, hack-a-player, packing the paint. The crowd was going crazy. Their top players had big 4th quarters. The refs swallowed their whistles.

    NONE OF IT MATTERED.

    We are one 40% three point shooter from really taking off on offense. Hopefully Jabari can be that when he gets back.

    Amen with 41 minutes… if only he had a twin so we could play him the whole game…




    Sorry, I’m a new dad, just getting started

    Our team this season is so resilient…against a Cavs group storming back and seemingly hitting every shot, we still executed well enough to secure the victory. Amen’s boards were critical, as was the good free throw shooting to close it out (an Achilles heel of ours this season).

    Four players with 20+ points is phenomenal…though our defense has definitely slipped a bit without Bari. This has honestly been the most fun I’ve had watching a Rockets team since 2017-18. Win or lose, I KNOW these young Rockets will play their asses off

    Makes sense, he definitely wasn’t his usual self in super extended minutes in the first half.

    That was good work by @WestendMassive . He found the issue of Tillman buying his mic equipment from Dollar Tree and got him to step up to Costco :eek:
