If you’re wondering how the #rockets season is going, this clip of Tari Eason and Amen Thompson encapsulates it all in this one possession

It’s over Jalen FC, we might just have to take the L and keep it pushing

It’s weird cause you need like the right mix of vets, like I think the vets are in the way no doubt but at the same time we wouldn’t be where we are without them

Shot chart from nba.com for Jalen Green of the Houston Rockets in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 18, 2024. It shows that he made 6 out of 10 shots in the restricted area, 3 out of 8 three-point shots, and missed all six shot attempts in the mid-range.

This is something I posted about on the old place.

Jalen Green's poor shooting this season is 100% due to the mid-range. Last night was another example. Here are his shooting stats by zone:

At the rim: 6/10
3P range: 3/8
Mid-range: 0/6

Houston Rockets Defense on Giannis YouTube video by Tea And Rockets

The #Rockets played elite defense against Giannis last night. He scored 20 pts, his lowest while playing 35+ mins in a game for 3 years. He had only 4 assists and 8(!) turnovers. Check the video highlights. They walled him off, were physical and straight up stole his lunch money youtu.be/RCRAcLzjt9Q

Liked the out of bounds play from Ime here, but I think I would have went with Amen there as the inbounder instead of Fred (smallest guy on the court). A more athletic big definitely would have caught that pass though

Insecurity is definitely a factor in that

THIS is #rockets basketball! Sengun DHO to Jalen Green at the of the key into a JG floater. This should be the staple of the Houston Rockets offense

This Bulls defense is absolutely horrid

Amen Thompson in the open floor is must watch hoops

Sengun/Jalen/Dillon all off to good starts but we gotta start defending and making these free throws if we wanna win this game

Tari Eason’s first possession last game vs the Los Angeles Clippers

Immediate defensive impact lol

#Rockets

I knew Houston would be a top defensive team, but top 3 was not on my bingo card at all. The re-addition of Tari and the continued growth of Amen has really been the deciding factor in our 9-4 start

#Rockets

glad to be here!

It’s disgusting how normalized and celebrated anti-intellectualism has become, people used to be proud of gaining knowledge and being regarded as smart

Better than under armor lol

Rockets twitter is so divisive man. Instead of people being happy that we’re currently the 3rd seed in the west, they’d rather focus on who’s playing bad that game and harassing anybody that supports said player.

Really might have to make the full time switch over to this site

He’s an adidas athlete man idk why he with under armor

Desperately need him in Houston man, we’re missing an all star caliber piece

James Harden warped our brains as rockets fans. We expect our best guys to put up 30/8/8 every single game, and expect one of our guys to be in MVP contention. That would obviously be nice, but this is prob one of the most balanced teams in the league. Any of our guys can go off on any night

Jalen Green is making my basketball knowledge look questionable man

Tari comes in and immediately gets a block lol

This in season tourney court nice as hell

Game time! #rockets

It’ll take me a while to rebuild the platform I had on twitter, but bluesky, just based on the one day I’ve been on here, is already infinitely better as a social platform

I think he’s been solid all season imo, just gotta make his wide open shots and some of these inefficient games will disappear. All metrics point to us being a better team with him on the court

lol thinking about it

Bluesky is so refreshing man. Hoping we can rebuild what actual basketball discussions used to be before nba twitter was ever a thing

I can see that, we aren’t really using Jeff Green like that and you can make and argument that although Dillon has been great for us, he really may just be in the way of Amen/Tari. Everything is 20/20 in hindsight though

Exactly man. A person can dream though
