    I recall a thread stating Amen-Alp-Tari were the core. Well they were tonight.

    Zion is what Barkley would have been without Moses Malone.

    Shew boxscore scrolling Mount Zion was held to 33% shooting. We worked him over.

    Ime strategy was to take him away + let other Pelicans eat. Zion still put up 20.

    Rockets need an OFFENSIVE COACH in the worst way. They have no offensive identity

    If Zion can put up 20 pts, 11 reb, 3 stocks in a game that he played poorly is any indication of his mental strength then he needs to be on Rockets. Kid is unstoppable + does everything that this team desperately needs, except 3P%.

    Single handedly holding zion to 3 out of 8 when matched up. Crazy how Sengun can now absorb Ft. Zion's weight with no issue at all.
    Best defensive lineup was the Aquaman + Alpi once again.

    Ime on MT and Ross said " We(Green) talked about it. To take the singles.
    With Fred out we're asking more from him. Facilitate." Looked like a willing passer on the rolls today.

    Jabari with a sneaky really good game.

    Dollar throws, ugh. We broke.

    Tari has a ton of potential. But his health is obviously a concern. And he’s a bit of a dumbass so probably not a main go to player type lol but I could see him as an all star if he can stay healthy.

    Zion is better rebounder than any of our bigs not named Alp or Amen (not a big). So imagine his impact in Ime system that requires REB dominance for success.

    But Rockets should be able to outrebound any team with lineup of Alp-Stevo-Amen-Tari-Jabari this season. And shut them down defensively too. Too bad Stone dropped ball on acquiring Rob Williams, maybe Ime really does understand what to adjust offense on a team with poor shooting efficiency.

    The identity is being a chameleon based on the opponent. Granted, you want the other team to adjust to you due to being dominant...
