We Just Saw The SCARIEST PART About The Houston Rockets…
All right boys welcome back to another video today we’re talking about the Houston Rockets and their 10 105 to 103 victory over the New York Knicks tonight this was one of the most impressive wins for the Rockets I’ve seen all year and I honestly could care less if Randall OG
And Mitchell Robinson didn’t play because Jaylen Brunson has been one of the best players in the league this season and he had one of his worst shooting games of the year he finished 10 of 25 he was what one of nine in the first half Brunson I haven’t seen him
Look this uncomfortable all year and I’ve seen just about every single Knicks game cuz I’m from the area so yeah it was just an awesome showing by Dylan Brooks amen Thompson is going to be an Allstar one day this guy is so good I mean how many steals did he have in this
Game five steals for aen he had 13 rebounds five assists eight points four or five he was efficient didn’t take any threes and miss both of his free throws we know the efficiency from the perimeter and outside is still a work in progress but he’s only 21 years old and
That’s the thing for the Rockets is they’re extremely young they’re coming off of a four game losing streak they’re probably going to lose some more games soon because they the Grizzlies they win that the Pelicans Suns OKC twice Phoenix twice San Antonio is far from an easy
Win with the way Victor’s playing you a triple double with blocks tonight by the way so Houston they’re in the west the West is so deep right now you’ve got the Rockets as the 12th seed it’s looking like they’re two games out of a plan
Spot so if the Rockets make the plan to me that’s a successful season I understand that e udoka his goal was to make the playoffs he came here to make the playoffs and to win championships but this is a Rockets team that is still trying to figure it out they’re still
Developing Fred who didn’t play tonight of course you’ve got some other veterans like Jeff Green and Aaron holiday Dylan Brooks is a veteran these guys have done well but what we’re waiting on is Jaylen green taking that next leap Jabari Smith who is only 20 years old like it’s it’s
Easy to forget that these guys are young like Jaylen green is 22 years old so you’ve got guys that can barely drink a beer where we live in the US or they can’t so like yeah of course there’s going to be ups and downs there’s going to be struggles bumps and bruises but
Jabari had 20 points tonight and then you got a man who I already talked about shenon is another guy who’s extremely young he should have been an All-Star by the way completely robbed of that game shenon he just does things that many others can’t he can score the basketball
Can put it down in the deck he can go to the hoop he has a post game he can pass that’s my thing about shenon that’s the reason why I’m so high in him and he’s just gotten better and better every single year and to this point he’s one
Of the best bigs in the league it’s just his craftiness the way he is unselfish as well he just makes everyone else him around uh better and he had some nice passes in this game but also some Rockets players had some nice passes to him as well normally he’s the one
Facilitating but he had some looks at up for him so I was impressed by shangu he also went up against prua who had an amazing game like preus has been playing well well for the Knicks in this game he had eight points 17 rebounds and just was all over the place defensively at
Three three blocks did a good job and that’s my thing about the Rockets is they just got completely outrebounded in the second half of this game like they finished with 39 rebounds the Knicks had 51 so to get outrebounded like that to get crushed on the boards it and win is
Remarkably impressive and the reason why the Rockets won this game is because of their defense in the first half and then in that fourth quarter they had a horrible third quarter the Rockets couldn’t have played much worse in that quarter and it wasn’t just the Rockets being bad the Knicks were just super
Good and show to Zaki why they’re a contender in the east at least in my opinion but it’s the fourth quarter the Knicks were hitting shots but the Rockets were as well Aaron holiday had like four buckets in a row Dylan Brooks was knocking down shots and then of
Course you had some timely buckets from some other guys as well when they needed to so I I mean Brooks was 8 of 15 from the field six of seven from three 23 points like Brooks was extremely efficient you can’t be much more efficient than that Jaylen green was off
In this game four of 15 0 of six from three it’s tough because I know a lot of rockets fans are low on green and it makes sense because he was drafted over some very good players and the expectations were high but when I look at green I know that the potential is
There like it’s too early for me to call him a bust or to say that he’s not going to be that guy when I looked at Jaylen green coming into the process I compared him of a mix between Zack LaVine and Bradley Feld and would I have taken him
To be those players like well yeah cuz those are All-Star level players but I always saw Jaylen as a superstar potential his ceiling would be an MVP type of guy a guy who you can get the ball to he can give you 30 a night he can be clutch obviously that hasn’t exactly
He’s not on that trajectory but because shenon and some of these other guys have stepped up and and Fred as well when he’s been on the court has been amazing it’s given them more time but for for the Rockets to truly get to that next level it doesn’t matter about any of the
Veterans they brought in like yes you need veterans to win the nuggets for example had Bruce Brown is a veteran who stepped up and was huge in that playoff run so was Aaron Gordon but still Murray joic right those were homegrown players the Rockets are relying on theirs and
They just need to be a little bit more consistent but from what I saw tonight Jaylen got to the free throw line nine times was Jaylen inefficient tonight and made some mistakes yes he five boards four assists got to the line nine times he’s just way more athletic than like
Anyone else in this league like there’s no one on the Knicks roster like Jericho Sims is extremely bouncy but I mean Jaylen green like the way he drives he just needs to do more of that I feel like for green his shot will start to
Fall once he start to get the easy one so that’s just my instant takeaway from this game alone tonight you guys can let me know if you agree or disagree but um outside of that like the bench Aaron holiday looked like a man possessed on both ends too like he had four assist
Ass three rebounds played good defense knocked down timely shots seven of 14 without holiday they don’t win this game Jeff Green honestly statistically speaking wasn’t good but when he was in the Rockets just man were they getting on a run and stuff like that so it was awesome to see if
You’re a Houston Rockets fan right so um I live in Houston so um yeah I’m going to root for the Rockets I know it hasn’t been exactly the year we were anticipating but I still think it’s early and I still think this team’s on the right path I mean
They’re one of the best defensive teams in the league they’ve got a young core their vets have played well like the Rockets could be in a much worse situation like and they also have had a like I said a brutal schedule I mean the Hawks the Hawks suck defensively but they still have
Firepower like the Raptors are tough I know they’re not having the best year they’re not a playoff team but they still have like a tough team the Pacers when healthy can beat anyone they’re just one of the most exposive teams like Timberwolves and like I don’t know man
The Rockets just they they’ve had some some tough losses like at least when the Rockets are losing they’re they’re losing in games where they had a chance to win like Raptors and Pacers they probably should have won those games and then of course the Hawks was just a
Tough one and then the game against the Nets should have won that one and going into OT against the Blazers just like things like that have been unfortunate but all that matters is what’s heading in this direction not what’s heading in that direction the Rockets are only
Going to get better they’re only going to move forward Kim Whitmore is a guy who I haven’t even mentioned because he didn’t play tonight who I know a lot of people are high on I mean I think he’s honestly going to be we said that coming
Into the draft when he came out of Villanova that he had All-Star potential but he’s showing exactly why he should not have been what was he the 20th pick right I still don’t get how that happened it just makes no sense it just should not have happened it’s just bad
Scouting because I mean cam had top five potential in this draft so the fact he fell and the rockets walked out of there with aen and with Cam both of those have All-Star potential I know Allstar potential like is kind of thrown around Loosely but like they legit both do the
Cam has star potential and the men has super star potential um 6 fo seven guard that defends and playm makes and can slash once he gets a shot even an average shot like a decent shot he’s going to be ridiculously like impossible to defend

NBA wouldn’t let me show rockets highlights which is why I haven’t made a vid on them since mid November but that is going to change. I’ll just show my face if anything
Swaggy remember what I told you? Dont upload NBA videos on an NFL channel . This is why your views on your channel are completely all over the place. It's cause youre uploading two different niches on one channel which can mess up the momentum you have.
Amen will be and All stars
refs screwed ny lmao brunson did not foul holiday absolutely disgusting
swaggy i thought you was a white dude this whole time 😂
The scariest part is Jalen is shooting 17% from 3 past six game, he has zero outside presence and we playing Amen who is 16% three point shooter makes one of the worse shooting backcourt in history of basketball
Whitmore and Eason out, VanFleet out. Big win!
They look good with the twin at pg. he’s so athletic he will make mistakes. Fred is a great player , but idk why they got him .
Goat
Steven Adam's next year with us is gonna be scary even if he's half as good as before
Still expecting a playoff push. They’ve lost a few too many games they should have won, but it’s a young team that needs to harness its grit.
We missed your rockets saga, glad you posted this 😁
