Rockets outrebounded 59 to 40. Embarassing for supposedly elite rebounding team. Jabari + Jalen had 5 total rebounds between them. Only 8 total...
Brooks -4. But both Jabari + Jalen were -10.
Jabari had 2 boards.
So disappointing.
Jabari Smith is obviously not ready to play B2B. This team just breaks my heart sometimes.
Jalen Green is top 15 in transition. Rockets are middle of the pack in transition frequency as a team but that's not on Jalen.
Not sure Jalen is best comparison with Ant. Both play SG but Ant is much more physical + robust for his size. Compare Ant vs Zion instead....
Rockets need to dominate Jazz, these down to wire games vs bad teams are bad for my health.
Tari also averages almost exact PPG + REB this season as Jabari. Except Tari averages this similar or better production in 7 fewer minutes played.
No one is alleging that Reid is better defender than McDaniels. As for your claim that Reid is slow footed then you should know that Reid is known...
Zion would be my #1 trade target + Naz Reid #1 FA target in offseason. [MEDIA]
Zion + Ime Udoka continues to intrigue me. Defensive core of Amen-Tari-Bari-Zion around Alp + Jalen fascinates me. Zion would be an upgrade to...
The way Ime plays Alp on defense is exactly how he played Rob Williams with the Celts when they went to the Finals and fielded best defense in...
Rockets elite defense is far from back (gave up almost 40 in Q1) but defense improved as game progressed. Looking forward to seeing real Rockets...
Amen were best switch defenders + rim protectors tonight but it was good to have Jabari back.
But there was no rim protector + Amen downhill is unstoppable + the most efficient offensive player on the Rockets tonight.
Everyone crapping on Alp but his double double was critical to the win too.
Alperen had 5 of Rockets 9 total OREB. Only 2 other Rockets had more than 1 OREB. And OREB are critical to Rockets offensive success.
Fastbreak Points: MIN - 23, HOU - 15 Steals: MIN - 10, HOU - 5 Points off Turnovers: MIN - 26, HOU - 8 Free Throws MIN - 84.6%, HOU - 75.0%...
He leads every single category????
