Jabari Smith Jr.’s Career Night & Why Houston Rockets Defense Struggled In Loss To Atlanta Hawks
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by special guest RocketsWatch Host Roosh Williams (@RooshWilliams) to react to and discuss the Houston Rockets 134-127 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, in which Jabari Smith Jr. had career-highs in points (34) and blocks (4). Why the Rockets defense struggled against the Hawks, how Atlanta exposed Alperen Sengun but why it shouldn’t be a major concern moving forward, Jabari’s career night and how he’s showing flashes of being a star, Fred VanVleet with yet another 20/10 night and the team looking lost when he hits the bench, Jalen Green’s continued offensive struggles and more.

don’t know why sengun started playing hero ball,missing all his shots at a point when the Rockets were up by 5 points in 4th qtr against the hawks.He was forcing his shots when he should have been making simple plays.poor decision making from him
JALEN SHOULD NOT BE STARTING. Tari cam bari amen can all benefit from benching him
I rather use Greens minutes to Cam and see what we have with Cam…. When Green is on the floor it’s basically 4 v 5 … I do not trust Green with the ball…..What is Guaranteed with Green is a brick or TO
Pick up Kenny Lofton jr as a backup to Alperun Sengun and Jabari Smith.
Let Jalen brick and suck all game, send Sengun to China. Bring a rim protector beast to make sure you guys get a championship this year. Don't play through Sengun because FVV and Jabali are AMAZING 🎉❤ Future is bright with FVV, Jaballiy, Jalen and Amen. Sengun sucks harddd. A big like Claxton would block every single shot at the rim and that means to be 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Or trade for Wemby so that he blocks 20 shots per game so that this team can be successful as much as spurs.
PLEASE DON'T EVER PLAY THROUGH SENGUN BECAUSE UDOKA IS A GENIUS, OK?
Have we not seen enough from Jalen to give Cam a shot at least??
For def maybe alpy wasnt doing great that day , but in 12 min he did 10points-4 rib-4 as – 0 TO. Then he got bench , typical stupid coach rotations. We keep seeing it last 3 years same story
Do you really think when someone starts the game well enough , get benched for long ( happens ever match) then when he back he can do same as before?
You give alpy 26min and to 2-12 jalen 33min , Aaron gets same time with alpy ? Just look at his face , he isnt happy with this. Noone in team feeds him. After this all-star things started team chemistry has changed i dont know why. Giving worst times to your best players isnt the answer coach.
I totally agree with what your guest Williams said about Jabari . I would like to see him more as a 3rd option as like a offball and post threat .
Ask the coach about bringing cam back we need some one that can go get us a bucket
Also from these young guys I would like to see consistency, like for example im not saying Jabari have another 30 or 20 piece the next game but try to have another solid or above average game
