Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses the Houston Rockets frustrating 129-114 loss to the Dallas Mavericks after a promising first quarter. Jabari Smith Jr. ON FIRE early in the game, but the Rockets failed to go back to him over the course of the next three quarters, lack of urgency in transition, poor body language and effort leading to defensive lapses, Alperen Sengun foul trouble, and Usman Garuba’s impact + Jackson shares the BEST and WORST from 2022 in the final podcast of the year.

Jabari will be lucky to make 1st team all rookie. It's like the Rockets don't care to develop him or feature him in the offense. If I were him, I would go to Fertitta and ask for a trade if Silas is the coach next season.
Best moment of the year was when Jalen Green tied Allen Iverson’s record for consecutive 30 point games as a rookie
Silas babies them so they act like babies. Treat them like men and maybe they will shape up. Jabari is the only player they have worth building around. Green and KPJ the sorriest defensive back court. One of them has got to go.
They are a very young team inconsistent play is part of it. Let them play it out and get your next lottery pick. Eric needs to be gone or bought out. Not sure how much control Silas has in his rotation.
I liked your show until this season. Now all I hear is what you think the team should do but doesn't. I just don't care what you would do. Not even a little bit. I can't even listen anymore
If you kept shooting mids you would have lost by 30… you sound like an ignorant child. Btw the Mavs were missing 4 rotation players who are all their best defenders so that isn’t something to focus on like it can happen every night. Christian Wood got called for multiple bad calls so don’t be that guy who complains yet doesn’t bring up the other side it’s cringe.
Garuda literally got scored on at will and tried flexing down 20 you’re a joke if your praising him for that night
The more I watch these podcasts, the sadder I get with Silas’s rotations and play calling
God, I hope the Rockets don’t get the 1st pick. I’d hate to see what’s happening to Sengun, to happen to Wembanyama.
The best part of the 2022 season is the Rockets being smart enough to tank for Victor Wembanyama ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Best moment – drafting Jabari.. Worst moment – passing of Paul Silas 😢🙏🏼 rest in peace
Man I was so disappointed When Jabari wasn’t involved after the first! Why not run some Jabari/green 2 man game or like you said Jabari/sengun
No defense No cake… Luka made 3ple ?? Jaylen dude learn to defense !!!
Thing that bothers me the most was on Jabari last points where he drove and scored and jalen is jumping up and down demanding the ball clapping his hands
Rockets are treating bari likes he’s Tari
Man, this is the same pattern they had with green in his first year.
Jackson. If u got free time. Try watch kuroko no basket. Really fun watch to watch 👌✅
I agree with you on literally like 97% of your takes Jaxon but I simple cannot agree like I’d much rather have Paolo than Jabari he came into the league nba ready and still has room to grow and on top of that he will always have a higher trade value than Jabari because of his archetype Jabari honestly has had a underwhelming season based off his hype
I'll be glad when this rebuild is over cuz I'm tired of rockets fans complaining Abt Silas every game!!! Y'all stay talking Abt Silas but fail to mention these players are dumb 🤷🏿♂️😂😂😂 bro it takes time. I guarantee no other coach would come in and be any better!! Rockets miss free throw after free throw is that Silas?? Then y'all say jabari don't get his shots but fail to mention he misses every lay up possible 🤣🤦🏿♂️ or " he holding Al p back" 🤣🤣🤣 not mentioning Al p is tha slowest thing on d and he's up and down. No Silas ain't tha best coach but every thing not him and y'all sound weak blaming him EVERY GAME!! JOHN Lucas coached 1 game outta the 10 we won and y'all want him to be tha coach. Let's see how we look at the end damn smh
I'M ABOUT SICK OF YOU CALLING OUT KPJ AND JALEN GREEN'S DEFENSE, WHEN SO MANY TIMES SENGUN IS LITERALLY OUT THERE WALKING! IN THIS GAME HOW MANY TIMES DID PEOPLE JUST BLOW BY HIM? THIS GUY IS FLAT-FOOTED AND SLOW! BUT HE'S THE ONE GUY YOU DON'T CALL OUT GT-OH‼️
I DON'T WANT SENGUN ON THIS TEAM‼️ THERE ISN'T A MODERN DAY NBA CHAMPION WITH HIS PROTOTYPE AT CENTER. I THINK WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH.
