Houston Rockets 2024 Thread - We Back

[Playaz Eyez]

The Suns didn’t even land in Houston until 5am, and yet the Rockets are the ones looking like they’re coming off a high intensity back to back game. The bricked threes are disgusting and they need to quit trying to live in the perimeter. They’re not that kind of team.

Man every Rockets game I’ve been to this year has been like this lmao. Start out competitive, let the other team take the and and they look out of it, then they dig themselves out and start to take over. Brooks and Jalen hit like 4 fukk it 3s at the end, but there’s no way at all they win that game without Tari. He was on ten from the minute he stepped on the court.Props to Sengun for battling through his injury as well, you can tell he was still affected. Reed played some good minutes as well, so can’t be mad about that. I just hated seeing Bol Bol, Tyty, and Gillespie all look like 100% starters tonight. Two of them average less than 3ppg, yet combined for 20. Bol Bol is a 5.5ppg guy tonight and ended up with 15 points, including going 7-18 from the floor. Gotta give props to Amen as well, he’s a machine and a star in the making.

Also, this was my first time ever seeing KD in person, and though I’m disgusted over some of the injuries he’s had, dude needs to be in a Rockets uniform for the next two years.

I wouldn’t hesitate to have Durant on this team. After all these years, he’s still money from anywhere on the floor. Durant, Steph, Edwards, and Giannis are really the only guys I’m excited to see play. People know….don’t even bother to ask for my tickets if they are in town!

Question is: what are you willing to part with to make the Durant to Houston thing happen?

Good win tonight coming off the All Star break. It could’ve gone the other way but glad they were able to dig deep and get the win. It’s crazy how much Jalen gets zero whistles after we spent almost ten years getting the calls Harden was able to get. Very sure Jalen would have another 6-10 points if he got the same whistle SGA gets. Him and Sengun were clutch down the stretch, and props to Ime for basically throwing everyone at Edwards. You can tell Edwards was pressing like crazy to try to get 40, and basically took his teammates out the game. Jabari didn’t seem rusty at all either, that’s good to see.

Jabari impacts the defense substantially. Ant had to work hard today for his 37 pts.

That Bucks game had me feeling a lot of bubble guts, and one of the types of games I could not have watched from start to finish live nor been at TC. Rockets did everything possible to try to lose that game towards the end. Turnovers, violations, flagrant foul, and almost allowing Dame to force an overtime. Glad all that happened and still got the win.

On the flips side, with or without Wemby, it’s always nice to punch the Spurs in the mouth. Amen continues to be a rising star, and I feel like you have to keep him in the starting lineup til further notice. They got contributions from a lot of guys and do to the blowout, pretty much the whole team got to see the court. Shout out to Jeff Green too, always nice to pull him out the garage like a 57 Chevy and still end up contributing lmao.

So looks like the strategy of resting guys for this game amounted to not a damn thing. They had their fake comeback, then lost in terrible fashion. They went 13/26 from the FT line and the final score was 115-102. That’s embarrassing.

Rockets pretty much thoroughly cleaned up the Pelicans in the third quarter, yet most of the clips I’ve been seeing are Zion scoring over Brooks and him talking about “he can’t guard me” lol. Good get right bounce back game for basically everybody not named Jalen. Tari, Brooks, Sengun, Bari, and Amen all did the heavy lifting. That one Amen dunk was disgusting. He has some wicked athleticism.

Perfect timing on this three game winning streak cause other teams started losing, so I think only three games separate the 2nd and 5th seed. Solid games from pretty much everybody tonight. Jabari was out there looking like Bosh. On the flip side, I dont ever want Dillon Brooks shooting 21 times That double center lineup was killing the Magic, which was supposed to be what the Magic’s strength is. Just gotta keep this thing going in the midst of all these injuries.
