Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss Jabari Smith Jr.’s best game of his career including a CLUTCH three-pointer to force overtime in the Houston Rockets 134-125 loss to the Indiana Pacers. How was Jabari able to get going in this game and score a career-high 30 points, Jalen Green struggling early against the defense from Myles Turner then finding success in the second half, Rockets defensive issues across the board in the first quarter, Stephen Silas going “small” with Jabari at the five to closeout the game, Daishen Nix holding the Rockets back in overtime and more.

Jabari looking like a lottery pick now
10/19 is the efficiency he was drafted for, along with defensive of course. He needs to build on this🔥
trade & save sengun
my 5 for sengun
newyork knicks
pacers
dallas
denver
boston celtics
That post fade will be money in the playoffs.
Hopefully they can call plays for him…. he has some KD in him….
He’s still young and skinny. Just a kid still. He will develop.
Very impressed with Jabari doing it on all three levels 60% from three-point range dropping dirty as a rookie very impressive. It's out of this game and the game when he single-handedly shut down Giannis with his defense and that's rare for a veteran to do let alone a rookie
the spurs games gave the rockets players confidence …nix kept mixing layups and staying late in the game.. sengun not playing at the end of the game ….is bad for winning good for tanking
The close out scheme is the problem. Poor defense is due to over helping, which leads to one bad close out, which leads to a side step or corner pass. And it’s over by there. Scheme
Jabari is light on his feet. He is way better at defending at the center position than Sengun. Feeding Jabari for mid range jumpers is more what he did at Auburn. Designating him to the 3 point line was Silas's idea. Silas must have watched the Chop Shop video were Frank brought to light that Silas was using Jabari the wrong way. Sengun needs to NOT play in Turkey this off season and work on switching and at least get the defensive scheme down even if he is too slow footed to actually do it. Alpy has all the bunk he needs to play center, be doesn't need more muscle. Jabari is the center of the future for the Rocket's. Sengun to the bench until he can shoot 3 pointers at 35%. Tate too.
The tips and advice in this content are so valuable. 💎
It's like every time you complain about Silas putting a player in a bad situation all I think about is how much better that player will be because he was put in that position by Silas
