    it means Jalen was exciting. I would sacrifice a couple wins for his aura. He is young; I would have waited for him and Sengun to figure it out as Houston grown talent. Jalen was trending in the right direction... slowly.

    google says he’s still out

    I’ve caught a little bit of Dillon Brooks, and he’s right back to being trash on offense and trying to do too much

    Even with 0-4 from three today he’s still at 36.3% threes for the season LOL which is a universe better than Cam. He had an off shooting game but played better otherwise. Let’s see how the year plays out.

    We can't keep playing KD this much, Ime needs to chill.

    Adams had an unbelievable impact on the game in less than 20 minutes. KD/Bari/Amen positioned themselves around Sengun well tonight, got easier looks.

    Eason with great activity, but terrible turnovers, needs to reel it in a bit.

    Reed... well, Okogie looked great, there's no way he keeps scoring this efficiently. Career 53% TS player is averaging 80% TS right now, reminds me of Brooks start to his first season with us lol.

    I liked Jalen. Still think he will make ASGs…..


    Durant well worth the trade cost though.

    You and a select few were the only ones who thought that. Jalen has been trending in the wrong direction offensively. I am very excited when KD shoots those open threes that don’t even move the net. Cuz we know Jalen woulda bricked it.

    Most teams are going to lose like this against us... you can tell the agenda is to play hard and play aggressively against the Rox (to match) but teams are just going to be play like that for 48 minutes. We are deep. And I can feel like it's going to get worse throughout the season as teams start to lose their legs. This is the model... for now.

    KD is the ultimate safety valve for the young guys. Reed and Amen already looking more comfortable and the Raps have a high pressure defense (even if they suck).

    Its still clunky as hell but these are the types of games we wouldve lost or barely won last year.

    I caught their first 2 games.. Brooks is basically back to Memphis Brooks, just takes whatever shots he wants, good or bad.

    You sure you are not misinterpreting anxiety for excitement? They can feel the same sometimes, even induce panic attacks

    exciting? all he can do is run straight fast and jump up high

    aura? you mean his painted nails?

    Alpis is the rockets winning frtanchise player. Jalen is the front running loser.

    You watched the playoffs right?

    yeah. jalen had a bad matchup. in another universe jalen gets a team like the wolves and has a great series. I do believe that if Rockets got passed the warriors, they would have gotten to the conference finals and Jalen would have had superstar games. we will never know.
