    Wish I went to this game šŸ˜­šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

  3. yooston

    Jalen with 34/12/7

    sengun with 31/12/7

    Cam with 20 in 18 min

    Jabari with 18 on high efficiency

    Pure box score porn

    THE LAKERS REALLY TOOK JHS OVER CAM WHITMORE LMAO

    Annoyed at them letting the Lakers back in towards the end, but itā€™s a young team so it happens. While the Lakers are tired from a 2OT, itā€™s still good to get a win against our rivals for the play-ins.

    Really nice to see our young core lead the charge with FVV taking less shots and focusing on playmaking and Dillon up to his usual shenanigans but being efficient. We really missed Jabari. Even off an injury he had a quiet near double-double. Looked so much better with him back. Once we get Tari with the rookies, who continue to look better over time and earn more minutes, we could well be on the way to righting the ship after our recent slump. Especially if it means less minutes for bench guys like Tate and Holiday (theyā€™re alright, but we have a 6-man young core to prioritize).

  7. WetShots

    Smart for the rockets to let the lakers come back so they donā€™t have as much rest for their game tomorrow night. 200 iq play

  10. LeBronIsATurtle

    So this is what it looks like when things are clicking

  13. StrawHatRetro

    Our young core was firing on all cylinders wow what a game. Jalen and Sengun with the 30 bombs. Cam with 20 off the bench. Best win in a while

  14. RocketsYoungBloods

    Being out of state, I donā€™t get to watch the games. Who was guarding Al-P? Did Al-P just abuse ADā€¦?!?!

  17. Right-Worth-6327

    I love this team so much. THIS is the basketball we need to see more of from our guys.

  18. KDs_FakeAccount

    Sooo can we stop the trade Jalen post or nah

  20. BigTonyEnergy

    Maybe Fred not taking as many pull up threes from the P&R is a good idea. Probably most efficient game for the young core so far.

  21. lilsebass

    In 2-3 years I really think Bari could be our best player. He has the length and the killer mentality. You can see a difference when he plays.

  22. sorendiz

    nights like this are the absolute peak joy of having a young team packed to the brim with talent

    6 guys in double figures and 5 of them are 21 or younger. God damn.

    2 different 21 y/o stars putting up 30/10/5 *each*. This is it lads the future is bright

  23. nonetimeaccount

    THE LAST 2 GAMES HAVE SHOWN ME WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON LATE GAME EXECUTION. YOU CAN’T STOP DOING THE LITTLE THINGS UNTIL THE FINAL BUZZER SOUNDS

    šŸ‘‚ šŸ‘‚ šŸ‘‚ I’M TRYING, BUT I CAN’T HEAR ANY JALEN HATERS. SO WEIRD, THEY WERE SO SURE HE SHOULD BE BENCHED OR TRADED JUST A WEEK OR SO AGO. NOW THEY GOT NOTHING TO SAY. DID THEY NOT REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE SAYING OR ARE THEY A BUNCH OF COWARDS WHO CAN’T SPEAK UP WHEN IT’S NOT EASY KARMA?

    PHI SLAMMA CAMMA WHITMORE. FUCKING HELL IS THIS DUDE SOMETHING. WE GET THIS CAM AND THIS JALEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO SCORE WITH ANYBODY.

    ALPI, ALWAYS.

    BARI BACK, Y’ALL! SUCH A DIFFERENCE MAKER. WE NEED HIS SIZE NEXT TO ALPI. SUDDENLY OUR OPPONENT WASN’T GETTING A BUNCH OF SECOND CHANCE POINTS. AND HE SCORES SO DAMN EFFORTLESSLY. GOT TO FIND HIM MORE TOUCHES.

    SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THIS SQUAD. AND TARI AIN’T EVEN BACK YET. WE GETTING BACK TO .500 SOON ENOUGH.

    GAMECUBE. NINTENDO.

  24. finsfordawin

    Imagine this team with Tari Eason back… H-Town, we set

  25. NoPickles

    Fred with 4 shots is crazy.

    I am in support of him taking less shot he got his contract the younger guys need the shots.

  26. lilsebass

    I had no idea FVV had 14 assists. Couldn’t hit a shot but still made it happen

  27. Rockets_Bot

    Iā€™m starting to get real excited for Amen, heā€™s improving every game. My man couldnā€™t even dribble game 1 šŸ˜‚

  28. Disastrous-Fold5221

    Post ASG Jalen Green is coming for everyone’s hams

  29. Lord_Shugesh

    Nice to see Christian Wood still contributing for the Rockets

  30. SilentControlGuy

    Jalen was crazy tonight. This the Jalen we’ve always dreamed of.

    Sengun has disabled Anthony Davis. This was a key point of the win tonight.

    FVV. With 3 points he got +17 plus/minus rate. Pure genius. He unlocked all our players..

    Bari.. He declared his return very loudly.

    But Cam… He literally destroyed the Lakers’ hope of winning.. Dunkmaster…

  31. NoirSon

    Welcome back Jabari Smith, we appreciate your quiet 18 points and 9 rebounds. Double doubles will be much harder from now on, coaches told Jalen Green rebounding is good.

    Sengun playing well again with another 30 point double double

    Cam Whitmore they are going to ask you to participate in that dunk contest again after tonight’s showcase.

    VanVleet with rare 0 field goals but 14 assists. Fantastic

  32. wgel1000

    I never complain about this, but what a bunch of reactionary fans on that thread.

    Everything was perfect for 36 minutes. Then, in the first half of the last quarter, it was unbearable to follow the comments. Suddenly everything is a disaster and the team is a mess.

    One of the best games of the season and people get desperate and start losing their minds over a bad stretch.

    This is a young team, they will feel the pressure to close games, it’s normal. Can’t we simply enjoy the good performance?

  33. lachdanan13

    Finally witnessing some harmony of Alpi and Jalen, them having a real connection and both being the foundation of offense is wonderful. That’s the main success key of this team for close future.

    Bari being back, Cam’s aggressive offense, all was great today. We need a big win streak, hope it comes soon!!

    Still waiting for Tari to join fully healthy to see the peak of this team for this year!! Still they didn’t reach their top. Maybe after Allstar break, but I believe that at some point they will reach a peak level and we gonna have some fun time while witnessing that…

  34. Maliciousdawg12

    Jgs been pretty good 3 put of his last 5 games šŸ‘€šŸ‘€
