Kevin Porter Jr. & Jabari Smith Jr. Carry Houston Rockets To Win Vs. Lakers Without LeBron & AD
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss Kevin Porter Jr. carrying the Houston Rockets to their 104-94 win against the Los Angeles Lakers who were without LeBron James & Anthony Davis. Why KPJ was able to have such an effective game against the Lakers, can we see “this version” of Kevin more often, how the Rockets defense actually looked GOOD with Alperen Sengun back in the lineup, Jabari Smith Jr. leveling out a bit but still hitting two HUGE threes late in this game, Jalen Green’s struggles and why we didn’t see the same level of aggression out of him and more.

KPJ? I thought Sengun was this teams best player 🤔
Tanking or not tanking? thats the question i don’t get with Rockets
First time I’ve heard Silas praise Sengun to the level he did last night. Maybe buddy is coming around. Great game KPJ!
WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO WIN GAMES.
Anthony Davis did not play if you would have played Sengun would have had to been benched for Jabari
Very good episode gentleman.. Good takes, and good job observing critical moments in the game
Shout out to JC, no idea why he was in the dog house for so long this season when he can give you productivity like that most nights. Need to see him & JG on the floor more, they're chemistry is undeniable.
I really hope they don’t keep Silas. This heavy guard scheme looks great when our guards are efficient. But it’s not fair to them or the rest of the roster. It accommodates to shoot first guards. It takes everyone out of rhythm. And we are bad when our guards aren’t pushing the pace, passing, and scoring efficiently. It’s the reason Jalen had a poor night. It’s the reason Kevin has bad games. It’s the reason Nix shoots so much. It’s the reason TyTy gets benched. He isn’t a score first guard. He is a true point guard. The win against the lakers was because we had more talent. We need a coach who can take advantage of the talent.
I fell like if AD was playing we would definitely be talking different about senguns d fence because they did not have a scoring threat in the paint for la at all
Great game from the rockets and KPJ. Legit rigged officiating, I’ve never seen it before. I was there live and kJ got hacked 2 days times in a row before the tech. They started to call fouls on the lakers at the end to make up for it. Makes sense, lakers needed the win for the playoffs, but damn.
And in person, you could really notice how late the calls were. The refs would wait until after the shot missed to call fouls. Ridiculous how hard they were trying.
Kpj is leading us to wins with controlling the game and I still need that kj segment my boi been ballin constantly
3117 KPJ moves the ball down court bye passing ahead to JG Sengun didn’t have nothing to do with the play some how we end up back on Sengun 🤷🏾♂️
Bari on that post All Star break just like Jalen last year 🚀
