Bro had one touch in the pick and roll where he moved like he was made of lightning. He’s starting to figure out he can get to the rim at will in the half court. He’s way too fast, too long, and too strong. I’m hoping, once he gets that, Jalen will realize it too. That’s when the Rockets will go to another level. The level of rim pressure those two could potentially generate, is staggering.

Lonzo, Ingram, Randle, Zubac, Clarkson, Nance, Josh Hart, Kuzma all on the team at one time
Am I missing anyone?
What have any of those guys won?

Crazy how fast he passed up his brother.
A year ago around this time Ausar was seen as the better player. Now it’s not even close.
Really it’s kind of mind boggling because the only difference touted between them was that Amen was better offensively while Ausar was better defensively.
But not only is Ausar inferior defensively but he’s inferior athletically as well and the gap offensively is not even worth talking about.
I’d kinda feel bad if I were Ausar watching my bro take off like that while I’m just stuck in the mud…

they're both still in the NBA on young growing teams, neither are nowhere near their prime yet to start feeling sorry for themselvesThat's hate feeling a way about a blood brother doing well
y'all nikkas manAlmost the entirety of this post is wrong. And not only is it wrong, but it sounds like you only just became aware of both players this season.
Why the fukk would Ausar feel some type of way about his twin’s rise? For the purposes of the argument, they’re the same person.
Some of y’all should just keep your dumbass opinions to yourselves.
Because Nance, Clarkson, and Lonzo were worth keeping over AD and a championship

Ngl, Ausar was never better than Amen. Amen was just having to earn it on a better team. And was injured. Ime made everyone fight for the right to be out there (other than FVV and Brooks). Same thing is happening with Cam and Reed. On a shyt team, they probably get starter minutes and put up impressive young player numbers.
Cam on the wizards is averaging like 18 points a game dead ass.
Go Rockets! 
We are a year early and I see us getting bounced in the semi’s, but this is one of the most fun teams we’ve had in a while. Ime got these boys being absolute DOGS out there that can run with any team. We are the only team to not only beat the Celtics and OKC but also the Cavs, multiple times. We aren’t ready yet for a series with a serious team yet since we are a star closer/finisher away, but boy this team really gives me early OKC Durant/Harden/Ibaka/Westbrook vibes. Just a lot of young talent balling out and not knowing how to really close out a series later in the playoffs. We shall see though!
My snap judgment in 2023 was that he shoulda been the second pick behind Victor. He jumps off the screen in a way the rest of the draft did not. His athleticism is off the charts but he has a tremendous feel for the game.
Maybe it doesn't matter but I really liked that he appreciated the history of the game, which seems to be fading with the newer generations. He sounded like he actually loves basketball which not everyone is anymore.

What’s unfortunate is I think Stone is going to do something dumb and trade Slam, Reed, and Eason for Butler and fk up our whole vibe

You being a 40+ out of shape cac wouldn’t understand what it means to actually be competitive in sports so I don’t blame you.
But when you grow up going at it when your own twin brother your entire life of course there is going to be competitive energy. I wasn’t saying Ausar is just dry hating on his bro but I would expect him to feel like he should be breaking out the same way which he isn’t….hence why I made that statement
And if you’re gonna declare my post to be “wrong” at least have a rebuttal and not just your own bytchmade opinion…
