Crazy thing is, if someone elbow connected with me on my chin like Demar does here I’d be ready to fight. Thought Dillon actually showed a lot of restraint. Demar was kinda on one this whole sequence.
I don’t know the context here, but I’m totally comfortable saying that Dillon Brooks is in the wrong…

Excellent question by Jackson. Excellent answer by Jabari who put it on himself. That’s what leaders do. This is the same question Christian wood used to get and he never put the responsibility on himself. Those are the little differences in leadership
Asked Jabari Smith Jr. about his offensive involvement: "I feel like I could have been more involved, just off of me. Crashing the offensive glass, finding more ways to get involved. That's gonna come with me learning the offense, learning a new system."

I think the rockets should slightly over pay here just to get his mentorship. I don’t actually want him to play, I just want his voice in the locker room
Breaking: The Knicks are not picking up Derrick Rose's $15.6 million team option for next season, according to multiple reports on Saturday. He will now be a free agent.

We literally watched Jalen in game adjust on this trapping off the screen by not going immediately, letting the screener relocate, dragging the trapper away, so that he can go one on one. Great adjustment and overall patience
Jalen Green with another absurd performance tonight for the Rockets:
37 points
9 rebounds
6 assists
14/24 FG
Green has been one of the NBA’s best players for a few straight weeks now. Playing out of his mind. This clutch 3 was crazy:

Scoot is in the Zion/AD tier of prospect. These prospects come once every other year.

Some thoughts on Alperen Sengun so far this season.
1st. Right now he is our best and most consistent player. He’s playing at an All star level. But this was obvious trajectory for him. Only surprise is how great he’s been defensively. A pleasant surprise indeed.

Positives: Sengun was incredible offensively, I think his passing/offensive processing has gotten even better. Def all star in the making. He needs to be a focal point of the offense next year
Alperen Şengün just got a months worth of highlights in a single game. He’s the definition of baby Jokić.

Cams ability to play with power and athleticism will translate so well. It’s just about getting him caught up mentally, and of course making shots efficiently. I hope he can do so sooner than later. He can be the answer we have all been waiting for as well.

I’ve been talking about how improve Jalen is defensively. Not many give him credit for it, but he’s gotten better all year on that end

At the 8 second mark, there’s a play where Jalen splits to MIA defenders and scores at the rim.
Splitting defenders is a superstar trait and if Jalen can do that consistently with his speed and athleticism, it will be one of his most potent moves.

One thing I noticed about Cam on defense, on an early possession guarding derozan, derozan hit him with a pump fake and got him in the air for an easy foul. Cam never fell for that pump fake again. That’s the importance of getting minutes and learning through experience

This is one of the reasons Jalen did not get the ball down the stretch. Not kpj, and this is why the offense down the stretch had some ugly moments. This is about execution. And the rockets did not execute
This appears to be the play in the

game that got Jalen Green upset at Jabari. Jalen is trying to get free to get the ball, looking for the pick from Jabari to get Clarkson off of him. Jabari is late and/or doesn't make the best effort, and KPJ goes iso.

This is a warning sign for the Rockets to me. This what may happen when you sell low on young players, especially when they weren’t developed correctly early on. How that could stunt development and if your not patient hurt your team in the long run
listening to the mismatch and they talkabout Bulls situation, and they wonder how good they would be if they didn’t take short cuts on rebuild. If they kept Marknen, Wendell, paired with emerging Kobe White. Especially with Boylen being a terrible HC that stunted development

Cam Whitmore is now averaging 25 points per 36 minutes on 60 TS%. That is insane and unheard of for a rookie, let alone a teenager.

The Rockets have a rookie with star qualities, who's already good enough to contribute to a good team, and is the 5th youngest NBA player.

Rockets fans are not surprising. I'm tired of the disrespect that the fans of this team have for Alperen Sengun. At the end of every year, Alperen Sengun is their best player. But there is still someone they think could be better. I'm really tired of some of them.

Thoughts on Jalen Green
Offense is very much built with him as a focal point.
passing looked good, but jumpshot has to improve.
Realizing the threat he is in the open court
Alpi/JG PNR still the most dangerous weapon on team
Defense was up and down
Walking paint touch

As brilliant as sengun was all night, him not making freethrows hurt us the most.
Jabari Smith is not the elite switchable threat that he was advertised to be in draft. Laterally he’s just not twitchy enough, which causes him to sag off, and it’s just way to easy for a star atp
