Tonight, length definitely wasn't the issue. It was Alpi being mentally unprepared to play. He missed wide open jumpers, all 4 FTs and close-in hook shots he normally hits. I could see very early in the game there was something wrong with him.
Let the haters think whatever they want. Rockets have beaten all the upper echelon teams this season. This squad aint the '24 Texans
A part of me is happy that green and sengun sucked tonight . Probably overlooked.. atleast we know they gonna show up vs Denver tomorrow night
Yeah. Sengun looked like **** tonight. His free throw shooting is completely unacceptable at this point, but at least he rebounded well.
Yeah that’s what I thought too. I mean, every now and then they have this game where they just disappear, but as they mature, it doesn’t happen so often like they used to. Hopefully they both bounce back on Sunday, because we won’t get another strong performance from Fred like tonight. He really caught fire. It’s good though to have Amen back. If Green and Sengun could just have an “OK” game tonight, we would probably beat them by 20+. But a win is a win, and if we are able to cover a poor game of both Green and Alpi that’s a good sign.
If you dont give a damn then dont argue with me about him about being a PF. I think Amen should only be playing positions 1-3 cuz he can use his length and athleticism to blanket all the pg-sfs.
This is what I’ve been saying. Sengun and Green cannot keep coming out flat and hoping the team bails them out. They are the leaders of this team. In the playoffs if our stars don’t show up early on we will be down more than 20 points. Green has looked like an all star the past 10 games and we need him to not let up.
Correction fvv is the leader of the team and he is the one getting bailed out often by sengun and green often. Man is getting paid 40 mil and finally decided to play to his value. Fully expecting sengun and green to carry the scoring load while fvv skirt by with an average of 14.6 Pts, 4.0 Reb, 5.6 Ast, 39.0 FG% while getting paid 40 mil is unacceptable.
Man, our Double Dragon turned into double turds tonight, both Jalen and Sengun sucked so much ass. Thank god for FVV and the Chosen One Amen. One thing I am worried about is the Rockets have a tendency to get destroyed early in games. On one hand, it shows Ime and the team do know how to adjust in game and it shows the team's resiliency, but on the other hand I have to wonder why they always get caught off guard. Its like the team always starts the game with the wrong game plan and now Ime and the coaches need to course correct by half time.
He needs to bounce back quickly, if it's a mental issue. I don't know if the team has a sports psychologist.
The only reason FVV is paid 40M is because of the players making 20M+ in the league he is the only one with a team option. Rockets arent paying anybody else a lot of money last 2 yrs so his big contract is immaterial. In the offseason Stone wilk either trade FVV to take advantage of his cuttable salary or cut himself and renegotiate him to a lower salary. That wouldnt be possible for any other 40M player and thats why FVV got overpaid in the first place. His contract is about to be done people still cant understand why FVV got paid 40M lol
