Bruh we have a 7 foot assassin……USE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
Zion was spotted shortly after ordering the whole menu at the creame de la crosaont.
…..he ate the whole table……
Sengun:
37pts
11 Rebs
6 Asts
1 STL
1 BLK
Alperen Şengün is a wizard! His best game of his career! Career high of 37 PTS! He deserves to be in the all-star game! Jabari Smith is what we wanted to see from him in this game! A really efficient game for him! 26 PTS 10-14 FG 4/5 3PT! Great game!
Sengun Jabari and Tari leaving JG behind. Sad to see.
TF If I am Jalen Green, I am gonna be worried to be traded to the detroit pistons for Cade 😂
Well, the Pelicans played well offensively enough to win this game. I just think Herb Jones and his off-night cost them this game, as he went 2-8 from the field tonight. If you've seen Herb Jones play before, you know he's normally more efficient than that.
rockets bombming pelicans..🤘🤘💪💪
Any doubts that were being held on Sengun can be erased. He is him
rockets explosive bomb..💪💪🤘
This was Alpi best game of his career. The Pelicans had no answers for him and he was just destroying them in the post all game long. This man deserves to be in the All Star game this year no questions asked.
Jabari he just continues his brilliant play he and Sengun are showing why they are the frontcourt of the future for us. He was shooting the ball well and he was a force on the glass and he continues to play good defense. Both Jabari and Sengun were the reason why we won
Fred was solid only problem he takes stupid shots at times that can be frustrating and Dillion was alright tonight.
As for Jalen he continues to disappoint man he needs to be better or else he not going to have a future on this team.
All in all this was a huge win now we are back home to face a struggling Pacers team at home on the day after Christmas
I like the effort Zion Williamson put forward tonight even though the Pelicans lost this game. He did a little bit of everything tonight to help his team try and win this game.
Rox Tough.
"New Orleans announcer, BRUH…stay the 🤦🏽♂uck home; when you're sick! You ruined the entire highlights and those who had to listen to you live!"
Jalen green needs another team
Yo Zion still fat
zion is a liability on defense and he is bloody out of shape!
This is sengun and jabaris breakout year
karma!!!pelicans lakers puppet..more injuries to zion..hahahah
Jalen Green goes 2-8 shooting. We are winning in spite of this guy. If you start whitmore instead of green we win by 15.
Why the hell is Brandon Ingram taking these circus shots at the end of the game? He needs to stop trying to take over the game because he clearly is not good in clutch situations. Either give the ball to Zion at the end or JV because we can see Brandon Ingram blows it at the end.
STOP PUTTING THE BALL IN INGRAM HANDS AT THE LAST FEW SECONDS OF THE GAMES , EVERY TIME WE LET HIM HAVE THE ROCK HE CANT EXECUTE !!!!!!!!
Good game my people Htown ❤❤❤
BRANDON INGRAM IS A BLOW IT !!!!!!!!!
Where is Moriah Mills? It seeks that without Moriah Mills, Pelicans is trash
Zion played tht whole game just give up with a minute on the clock
Sengun is next 🆙
Dang Sengun is going to break the NBA in the future, it's either Wemby, Chet, or Sengun as the future big men.
When you pass the ball to JG, the 5 on 5 becomes 1vs 5 he forgets about his teammates and just forces his own way to the basket. Its okay if he can drop 30 per game like leonard
Rockets hard-earned this victory and it's satisfying unlike that Christmas gift Mavs gave them last the prior game. Welcome back Alpe!
Yall done messed up my parlay, yall been dominating now all of a sudden struggle with the rockets lol its unbelievable 🤦♂️
Alpi ❤ Jabari
I remember seeing shades of potential with Sengun last year. Nice to see he’s taken a big step forward this year
Jalen Green disappointing his father Sengun like always
And the Rockets Best Player of the Game goes to…Zion's Shoe. The Shoe was clutch tonight.
Sengun and jabari becoming a great duo
If the pels get a real coach they'll be a top 20 team
Mr. Inconsistent Jalen Green scored 20 one game and scored under 10 next game. Have him come off the bench
Sengoat deserve a max contract than green
Outside of the terrible gameplan and execution down the stretch from the Pelicans….
Man I don’t know what Zion has to do to get more calls. Sengun had 17 free throws and took far less contact than Zion
Dillon Brooks was practically mugging Zion the entire fourth quarter and Zion shot ZERO fourth quarter free throws
Really not sure what he needs to do at this point but he easily has one of the worst whistles in the league
BI and Zion gotta learn how to close out games when it come down in the clutch
Zion really impressed me tonight. Keep getting better Z! Also Sengun is a monster. Franchise player. Jokic lite who isn't as skilled or as good a playmaker but he is more explosive and his handle looks better. Player to watch from now on!
As a Rockets fan, is AP Dillon and Jabari the only ones doing anything?
Except for Sengun, I’m on the fence about these other Rockets draft picks
I'm starting to lose patience with Jalen Green at this point. Everyone has progressed except him. He seems to not have that dog in him. Udoka benches this guy in the 4th quarter on a regular basis because of poor performance. I think Rockets might give him until next season to show something, or they are just going to trade him to continue building around Sengun and Smith Jr.
