    Jabari doesn't even look like he gained weight. All I see that's different is that he got a tattoo. Wtf.

    Nah he's taken very poor shots forcing them up. Basketball IQ offensively is very poor

    Still mad at Orlando for picking up Paolo

    I’m sorry, but Jabari really sucks. Doesn’t look like he’s improved anywhere at all since last summer league.

    People shouldn't take much from SL even if Amen goes off for 50, its still just SL.

    For Bari this means even less, we've already seen him in NBA games so these games for him are either just him seeing a way to get in bball shape or something else. I notice he's bringing the ball up a lot so maybe he's been working on his handles.

    Is Amen the greatest Rocket since Hakeem?

    He’s a layup maestro.

    Scoot looks like a Top 10 PG in the league today.

    He doesn’t look good, but sometimes SL is a weird style of play for bigs.

    I watched Jeff McKinnis drop 45 multiple times in SL.

    I have hope for him, but so far he has sucked. Not a great look for SL but he still has 3 quarters and several games to turn it around.

    Jabari still looks horrible, when should we be concerned?

    Jabari might have to get moved if he keeps playing like this. Lol

    Amen and Eason look like grown men playing with children. Whitmore showing flashes. Bari.... doing Bari things. But this setting does not work for his game, and he's forcing it like he did last year. He should just take a step back and stop forcing it every possession. Defend, rebound, wait for good looks, and if he doesn't jack up 15 shots tonight, who cares?

    Jabari needs to become elite defensively and shoot the 3 really well. That’s his only hope to being a long term starter

    And I’d take Amen over him.

    Happy days for Rocket fans…
