HOUSTON, The Rockets Are A Problem...
#rockets #houston #houstonrockets - Sport
Cam whitmore not being mentioned in this is criminal
Honestly could be one of our best pieces
Ima Mavs fan and I don't watch the Rockets unless my Mavs are playing/beating them in a game... how good has Cam Whitmore been?
@godspeedgideon9178 he's definitely making all rookie second team. He's been an incredible scoring piece. Just instant offense the moment he steps on the floor. Has good defensive flashes as well. He just needs some serious work on his playmaking.
But he's already around a 15+ ppg scorer on great efficiency
@@godspeedgideon9178 instant offense off the bench, a pleasure to watch him play
@@kalebdanielshow has his defense been i hear some ppl say he has upside and some ppl say he can only be scorer ?
Jalen green out here playing like he gotta pay child support 😂
Haven't heard that joke before
Very original
Thanks for reminding us.
npc
Unfortunately he will be and I hope he learn from it because he’s coming across as slow with his decisions.
I keep telling ppl that the Thompson twins are just way too smart and athletic to not become stars. IDC if they don't have a jump shot today, them boys are nice.
I agree, plus they're rookies rn, they have plenty of time to improve.
And the jumper thing is gonna get fixed. They're both already willing as opposed to someone who had all the talent as well 😒
@@jrmayun atleast he returned now back to barca where he enjoys life once again
@@mihawk8676 I don't think we're talking about the same player
AMEN!
get it?🎉
Amen Thompson is legit his rebounding and defense is really nice I’m excited for him
Jabari is legit too he got that kd step back too tall for most defenders to guard
Amen Thompson LowKey is my new favorite Rookie & new favorite Rockets
If Amen Thompson even turns into only a Shawn Marion like player, I'd be excited.
If you can’t say anything those Thompson twins, they know how to rebound
They are also a pretty good drafting team, as well as also having 2 other members of the young core in tari and cam, they realistically could probably win 45 games next year and make the playoffs, doing what okc and Orlando are doing this year
And they own the Nets picks until 2027 to continue to help with the rebuild
I saw people saying they only beat bad and mid teams like that’s not the beginning steps to being a good team
We beat the nuggets multiple times this year too
On this win streak we’ve beat a fully healthy Cavs team and a healthy Suns team.
@@ir0nfistalexand the suns
@@DVic56 did I not say the Suns in that sentence?
@@ir0nfistalex yes you did. My bad, i didn’t have my glasses on
Amen is a game changer in the defense, Cam is instant offense.
Gotta mention those.
I think Jabari gets underrated because of the growth of some of the other players in the draft recently. His value as a defender/3 point threat at the pf is huge. By 25-26 I can see him being over 20 points a game and great defender
First off, thank you for this video. You forgot to mention one of the best young talents in this Rockets team, who happen to be their more efficient scorer: Mr. Cam Whitmore!
Two thing feel real for me as someone who has watched every Rockets game this season:
1- Ime Udoka is the real deal. The Rockets have the coach and players to be playing the way they are and build from this. Next year the Rockets will be a safe playoff team with one yr under the belt with Ime, more chemistry and with the services of Steven Adams, Tari Eason, Sengun and Cam Whitmore.
2 - The JG leap is real. This is the most complete game of his career. Before was only a matter of his shot going on and off but now he contribute in so many different ways (Credit to Ime Udoka).
All great points! I’ve also watched ‘almost’ every Rockets game this season. JG has struggled a lot but seems to have found his groove and I couldn’t be happier for him & the squad. I hope the road game situation can be fixed in the off-season. Udoka has been a miracle for JG, Alpi, and the rest of the team. Especially defensively.
The best thing they did was to bring in Ime. He gave them structure, too bad he didn't finish with Boston, but hell we'll take him.
So nice going from the Lin/Scola era to the Harden era to this.
Lin was never an era
Lin didn't play with Scola, as well; he played with Harden.
I'd say Jalen Green is playing for max rookie ext contract. I predict regression to the mean, after getting the bag
I'm going to come back to this comment in a year
agreed never trust a dude on child support lol
That cougar juice must be next level
Plus his defense has improved as well. Also, Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason...
I got amen Thompson being the first or second most important player on that team in the future
Had Jalen Green figured it out earlier this season HOU would be a playoff team already. Better late than never I guess. Don’t forget about Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason as part of their young core too.
I love that Houston is finally getting some love. Just disagree with a couple of things. I think Amen will become an All-Star (potentially All-Pro down the line) and the fact that you didn't mention Cam Whitmore or Tari Eason being part of the "core" was blasphemy. Lol but fr though keep up the good work man, cheers!
Houston has the best record in the NBA this month (9-1) despite losing their best player to injury.
They're suddenly just 2.5 games away from stealing the final play-in spot from the Warriors! 😲
Remember how the Texans made playoff without tank dell now
The good thing is cam is supposed to come back on the final week of the season
you mean the lakers?😅
Rockets trade for Sengun an Fred an get Ja Morant
@@breonmitchell2443 fuck no
I hope ime can turn jalen green into a primary weapon for sengun bc lets be honest, this team will go as far as sengun can take them
My personal opinion is that Sengun is not a good fit! Think he's great, but the Rockets want to run as my as possible because of their athletisim! When Sengun comes back it will become a stagnant offense again?
Much love Jalen
About time SOMEBODY started talking about the Houston Rockets!
To your point about Jabari and amen being role players long term, which they may very well be, I would say young guys on competing teams are always role players/glue guys. Even cam whitmore whose shown immense potential is basically a 6th man at best currently. It only takes a couple of things for a guy to take a major leap for us to change our evaluation on them aswell which is a luxury for the rockets
There is obviously a correlation between Sengun being out and the Rockets winning. The pace is way faster on offense. They have better spacing and the defense with and without Sengun is night and day.
Also, you are totally wrong about Amen Thompson being a complimentary piece. I don’t even know how you can say that about a rookie who everyone knew was going to be a project. Amen obviously has superstar potential. He’s averaging 18 points a game taking 90% of his shot at the rim and on putbacks. The Rockets aren’t running any plays for him at all. His ceiling is second only to Wemby in the entire league. Just watch. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Draya and that child support got him playing like his life depends on it lmao
Yes we are, we coming for the 10th seed, don’t let us beat the Lakers and we somehow play the Clippers in the play-in. H-Town
that makes no sense
Bears and Rockets fan? Y’all just be randomly picking teams to support 😂
@@ir0nfistalex it’s a free America, explain Cowboys & Lakers fans. At least I’m not a bandwagon fan.
Those suggesting the rockets should move on from sengun are absolutely brain dead
I remember what u was saying about us
i have high hopes that JG, AT, CW, AS and JS stay together the next couple of seasons, this can be a scary line-up.
Don't forget TE aka Tari Ferrari
@@RJBurras713 what is it with him?
Injury?
I am an fan from Holland, sometimes i mis these things.
Dude amen is going to be a star😂
They have to use Sengun as a trase asset! Sengun is good, but not in this system! Everybody just stands around and watches him when Sengun plays! Sliws them down!
U wrong Amen is the spear head of this team he’s a superstar. Team turned around when he enter the starter mins
If I’m the rockets I’m more excited about cam whitemore than green smith and Thompson. He’s the real deal
Yes he is but Jalen is the MAN.
@@RJBurras713 a month ago everyone was saying trade Jalen lol. We have to see some consistency
@@billy306 Fans are as consistent as the players they critique or love 😂
@@jahkrmusic I think real basketball fans know you need to see a little more with Jalen before you can jump on the bandwagon. He could be great, he could also be Jordan Poole lol
@@billy306 I completely agree. I typically see this behavior(myself included) with those that are fans of their team more than individual players. One drawback of being a big team fan is watching that luxury tax skyrocket while being maxed out by players hardly winning. These stadiums are funded by tax payer dollars. And we all know who serious that can get.
Kevin porter jr on this team would’ve been in the play in no doubt
Didn’t mention cam or tari and said we have multiple 1st round picks this year 🤦🏿♂️
I'm a Warriors fan and I've been watching the Rockets closely. Warriors had a small but comfortable lead but the Rockets have an easier schedule going down the stretch so they definitely scared me and now its coming down to the wire and I seen this coming.
Isn't Jalen a free agent this summer? He's trying his best to secure the Bag. His agent told him your running out of time.😂 I would still trade him given the right deal.
No he has one more year on his rookie deal, due for an extension
@@borntokilldiaz Ok, but time has probably ran out for him to get a max contract. Still would trade him 😂
@@lancesmith5640 too early man he's got a lot of potential
@@borntokilldiaz Jalen been in the league 3 years. Still doesn't have a consistent jumper. Turns the ball over a lot. Basketball I.Q isn't high. Getting over with just athletism so far. Stock is getting lower every second. But hey, keep if u want.😂
@lancesmith5640 shooting career highs right now and is a lock for player of the month, do you even watch?? Lmao
as a diehard rockets fan who watched all through the last few years, i think sengun has the serious potential to become a future top 5-10 player in the league. if jalen can keep it up and amen can become a shooting threat, not to mention jabari who, when hes on, can look like the second coming of kd, then the rockets can be an actual contender in the next few years.
The phrase “The Josh Jackson” effect has become a permanent part of my sports reference vocabulary over the course of the past few seasons.
Zach Collins is a perfect example of someone I keep placing this moniker on at the moment.
Is amen one of the best rebounders ? And who is the better rebounder ausar or amen
HOU > GS & LAL
With everyone healthy this team should be playoff bound every year. Green needs to be more efficient, he still forces some bad shots.Amen Thompson is a defensive & Rebounding force.
They will build around Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Şengün, Whitmore with Fred VanVleet as the championship veteran, point guard. I don't want to count out Dillon Brooks, but he needs to make adjustments and reinvent himself. He brings grit to every team he's with, but he needs to cut out his antics. Some were doubting Jalen Green and saying that he was a G-League disappointment. He wasn't drafted from college. He was drafted from the G-League, and the highest-drafted G-League player of all-time.
Starting 5(HEALTHY):
Fred Vanvleet
Jalen Green
Jabari Smith Jr.
Alperen Sengun
Steven Adams
Starting 5(FUTURE):
Amen Thompson
Jalen Green
Cam Whitmore
Jabari Smith Jr.
Alperen Sengun
Tari Eason 6th Man of the Year.
Dont forget Tari and Cam. Not to mention Steven Adams next season
They finished rebuilding faster than Detroit lmao. This might be a combination of both a hot streak and legitimacy tbh. Especially their bench started cooking too and stepped up big time when Alperen went down with a multi-week injury. I still think they should trade one of their wings though and sign or trade for a backup shooting/combo guard like KCP or Malik Monk or Alex Caruso. And maybe sign Pat Bev again if he doesn't retire this offseason.
jock landale, legend
Since sengun’s injury, they’ve been playing different
Jalen green is my earky pick for MIP next season.. trust me this houston reminds me of okc last season.
Jalen Green got an contract extension coming..Thats Why
live the title
Jalen Green or Alperen Sengun 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Great title
Green, Thompson, Whitmore, and let’s not forget Landale are balling. Vets need to step it up. Our future is bright.
You’re completely wrong about Amen Thompson. He’s going to be a key piece for a long time.
very similar to when memphis ja morant was starting to become a star. they chasing the playoffs too.
Houstonian here. Jalen Green does do this every year leading to the end of the season. So PLEASE PLEASE don’t buy into the hype.
Contact me when he plays like this all season long, every season.
exactly.
well.. it is a completely new system and coach so I'd lean into it a bit more than prior years. Not sure I can say I've seen ever play like he has the past few weeks though.
@@magnetik5348 True new coach and new system. So let’s see if it carry’s over into the BEGINNING & ALL of next season and not just during the end of the season.
AS a life long Rockets fan I want him to succeed. But I’m not overly confident.
Bro dropping video everyday
I never liked this Josh Jackson theory shit, it can be easily debunked. Some players hit their strides at different times
Their defense opened up the 3 pt offense. Ime has them playing intimidating defense, and teams have to respect their outside shooting. The Rockets are about to be in the playoffs, if not this year for sure. The best thing they did was get Ime.
We’re coming! Get ready!!!
I fw the title
Wasn't the Celtics offering 5 1sts for Josh Jackson?!
Amen Thompson is definitely not just a contributor. He will be, if not already is better than Jalen green
Jalen Green beat team that is trying to get the number 1 pick is not that amazing in any way. Wizard and Spurs highlight where he does his damage
Jalen Green is the NBA's version of the Six Generation Air Dominance Fighter Plane, powered by Filipino Blood.
Let's see if he can surpass Ant Man
It was a nice try. I’d rather Houston make the play in rather than the lakers. But my Mavs put an end to it.
Reposted?
It’s like my career in 2k 😂
No.11 out of 14 teams and they are problem😂
Didn't even mention cam Whitmore. If we trade any of our young guys I hope its smith definitely not jalen green
Houston is in the advantageous position of controlling the next three first round picks of Brooklyn, one of the worst situations in the NBA (sorry Tucker). The Nets have no superstars, no cap space, and only picks well into the future, all while they’re sitting in the middle of the lottery. Houston will likely add to their pool of young talent.
Spoilers this year, playoff team next year. Just wait, it takes a while for a team to come together, find the right rotation, and fly.
Jalen playing like ant man right now. People forget he just turned 22
Its Ime Udoka
As a thunder fan, I'd rather have Houston than the lakers in the Play in lol
No you don’t! You’ll lose to either! Better hope for Sacramento ! You’re the most fraudulent number 1 seed! Love the thunder but you’re not as good as your record shows in the context of playoff basketball! Rockets will FRYYYY the thunder 😂 Ime udoka will out coach your coach
@@the77th Dude, we've rocked you guys every time we've played you. It's the dumbest comment and we're not frauds. Trust me, we're good. We beat good teams. What about you? Houston will always be trash
@@mrwesmess6715lol we have beaten that okc squad at our worst
@@sjchac when not this year
@@mrwesmess6715 "you guys".... he thinks i'm a rockets fan 😭😭😭😭😭 poor guy!
NBA defense is soooo soft man.
Rockets fans need to RELAX about Whitmore lol He's good, a fringe 2nd team All-Rookie (IF he played more, and wasn't currently injured). Amen will take his spot on the All-Rookie team (rightfully so), and Eason is the better prospect atm. This is not a knock on Whitmore, it's just that you guys are going overboard with his expectations lol 🤷🏻♂️
Ik they say it as a joke, but Jalen going crazy cause of his child as well as opportunity (Sengun injured)
Houston Rockets are doing well because they have almost the easiest schedule in the NBA. We can see real rockets in Thunder, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Magic and Clippers games. All other games can be won.
Jock Landale...
Josh. sweet do man! YOU HELP ME MAKE MONEY BRO!!
Greens defence is better this year
It's time to buy Jalen Green stock 🔥
8 min video, >1min of which is a gambling ad. It’s a fucking epidemic out here
Jalen Green is a March Merchant, once he gets that rookie extension, he'll regress. Hope he proves me wrong, but only time will tell.
I hate how every single sports video on CZcams starts off w/ some shady ass betting site ad. Disgusting!
W title😂🔥🔥🔥
Udoka is real
i dont watch any videos with sports betting/gambling ads. Thats why i do not watch this video
He needs to feed his baby
Trade Fred an Sengun get Ja Morant
Bulls got em tn
I think Houston is coming out of the rebuild stage. Now, I think they still need another player to get into contender status, but they have a lot of good talent who is still young and are entering their primes in some cases. The next several years should be an exciting time for Rockets fans. I could see a lot of Celtics/Bucks vs Nuggets/Rockets Conference Finals showdowns over the next few years, if they make the right moves.
🤘🏾🚀👨🏾🚀
Hey Tucker, you know who's not a problem? The Broke-lyn Nets!!!😂😂😂
fuck
Lesgoooooo amen thompson has absurd basketball iq, offensively and defensively
Let go of Brooks
