2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀

[Macklemore 2945]

Fantastic win. Nice close out with 9 unanswered points. Jalen had a shitty game overall but he redeemed himself with a clutch 3 at the end. Amen and Sengun were ballers, Amen’s defense on Brunson frustrated the hell out of him.

Would love to replace Green with Tre Johnson. He showed what an elite guard should look like, makes shots and makes plays for others.

Jesus Christ man. That’s a leap.

[Scraps 13743]

Landale with some good early mins

[Horns RD Standard 76]

Good start! Everyone getting in on the action. Strong defense too!

[Scraps 13743]

Uhh that was an amazing 1st half of basketball. More of that plz

[Scraps 13743]

Everyone who played is + so far lol

[Pimphand 6264]

May need to venture over to the Spurs thread.... I'll take a 25 point lead for sure

[BigOrange1 6604]

lol Rockets shot 59.6% in the first half.

[Macklemore 2945]

Best game we’ve played all season. Dominant from  opening tip to final buzzer. This team is must watch TV for me.

If this team stays healthy they will be a problem. 

Amen & Tari are demons off the bench.  Fun team to watch.

Yeah he had pretty much lost his rotation spot. Figured something was gonna give soon.

Also his 3pt shooting has been ass

[Hank Kingsley 21597]

Cam has a ton of talent but needs to be more than just instant offense. Team is deep and we don’t need him right now. I’m sure he’s frustrated.

trash 

[Macklemore 2945]

The shorts look badass with the Summit logo.

[Scraps 13743]

Man a lot of no calls early. Refs letting them play, but I hate this shit cause it never is consistent

[Scraps 13743]

Alex Caruso is their backup 5...lmao.

I mean they win, but damn thats rough

[Pimphand 6264]

That fucking Westbriq trade is going to consign us to being OKCs bitch for the duration of this run

[Scraps 13743]

Good 1st qtr

Shitastic 2nd qtr and its only halfway over

[Slacks 7018]

Is it worth me tracking down a way to watch this one?

[ChickenSandwich 9918]

[Macklemore 2945]

Rockets holding on to a 1 point lead with 6 minutes to go against the Pistons 

[Macklemore 2945]

Tari single-handedly winning this game for us with his effort.

[Scraps 13743]

I am over Jabari

Absolute trash. Guy was supposed to be a top notch 3 point shooter and he goes 1-7. Trade his ass now before he loses more value.

[ChickenSandwich 9918]

Cam and Bari playing their way out of the future. 
 

Trade them  both for Kuzma

Kuzma is averaging 17.3 on 17.5 shots, hard pass.

[Scraps 13743]

Not sure how long this has been going on but at game tonight and when Alpi came out they are wrapping his lower back while he is on the bench.

He's still playing and everything but something to look out for i guess

I miss Bullard.

[HtownHorn 15243]

Really like the Eason and Thompson off the bench.

Jalen Green is just an idiot.

[Macklemore 2945]

Amen and Tari are too good not to start. Ready for FVV and Jabari to ride the bench. Disappointed with Sengun tonight

Trade Smith for Grant Williams staright up. Williams played for Boston under Ime, has a very defined role, and would be great 4 off the bench to move Eason into the starting lineup. Also, lets you off the hook because Smith is never getting a rookie extension like Green and Sengun got.

[HtownHorn 15243]

Now is the portion of the game where Jalen Green keeps shooting bad 3's and the Clippers 3rd string win the game.

[Macklemore 2945]

Jalen and FVV trying to lose this game after Lue cleared his bench

[Rip76 5009]

Wow!

[Macklemore 2945]

Sengun with a slam and block to hopefully put this game away 

[BigOrange1 6604]

Sengun!!!!!!!!!!

[BigOrange1 6604]

then a badass defensive play by Amen Thompson followed by a dumbass sequence from Brooks.

[Rip76 5009]

Nice!

Now let’s get those ketchup and mustard unis back.

Edited November 14 by Rip76

[BigOrange1 6604]

Eason with the exclamation point and the Rockets win the game.

[Horns RD Standard 76]

Tried to give it away at the end. But stiffened up just enough to get the job done. Good Dub!
8-4 has to be best start team’s had in quite a while

Lots of people talking about how one or both need to start but they are really excelling in their current roles off the bench, why change that up? They can still play 30+ minutes coming off the bench.

Absolutely. Amen played 34 minutes tonight….

[BigOrange1 6604]

that's all well and good but if feels like Jabari Smith is about 1-2 games away from losing his spot in the starting rotation.

Trade Jabari, Cam and FVV for whatever you can get that doesn’t financially fuck us
