Tari Eason Leads Houston Rockets In Scoring, Jabari Smith Jr Back At Center Vs Golden State Warriors
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss Tari Eason’s huge impact as a Houston Rockets starter and more takeaways from the 121-108 loss against the Golden State Warriors. How Tari has grown from the beginning of the season to now, especially his impact on the defensive side of the ball, Rockets defensive scheme with Jabari at the five spot, keeping things competitive with the Warriors until late in the game despite missing Alperen Sengun and Jae’Sean Tate, Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green struggling to take care of the basketball against Golden State, Rockets with a more cohesive “identity” when starting Jabari at the five and more.

Love Jabari at the 5 and Tari at 4…. Where does that leave Sengun… on the block?
The Warriors were due to win on the road. I will say this, the Warriors looked very sluggish in the 1st half and we missed a lot of shots and had the opportunity to get ahead in this game. This was a winnable game actually. Oh yeah, Tari Eason is a DAWG!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Green has one of the worst defensive ratings in the league for starting guard’s. Bari & Tari are their most talented players on defense so they should be calling out the plays on that end. Garuba should get an honorable mention as well but doesn’t get the minutes.
I wish I got the hall of fame package that the rockets were offering I called for it but it sold out 😭
The passes out of the post play the warriors were playing which included ball movement, off ball screens and, cutting, that is the offense Sengun would thrive on. On a team like the Nets, Pacers, Jazz, Warriors, and couple others is where he would thrive. Please trade him this off season FO 🙏🏻
Sengun is gone this year from us watch..
These episodes seem to go by extra fast. Any chance at a mailbag episode at some point?
Tati kind of reminds me of Corey Brewer
Jackson threw me a curveball with that hot take but I agree
This was the worst game of the season. It’s become evidently clear that this team has talent and it isn’t being optimized. I would much rather bring in a new coach & give them 3 years to develop the talent. Trading any one of Jalen, Jabari, Sengun, Tari, KJ, Josh, or TyTy would be malpractice. The strides the talent has made while having no consistency is important to notice. We aren’t winning next year, in two years, or in three. The basketball Gods are watching what Tilman, Stone, and Silas have done. Those Nets picks aren’t valuable since they’ll likely build around Mikal. Tari might be the saving grace of the Harden trade. Sign vets, don’t trade youth for them. Learn from the Lakers. They one 1 bubble title with LeBron after trading their youth. The Rockets aren’t landing a LeBron level FA this off-season. The rebuild will last 6 years, once our players reach the beginning of their prime at age 24-26.
You guys gotta stop calling for a Sengun trade, when OKC was coming up 10-15 years ago they didn’t get rid of any of their young players until they had to. Let the young guys play together and possibly learn how to play with each other before y’all want us to get rid of our young talent.
Jackson, look at the type of passes KPJ does. Look at all the times he misses Jabari in the post and tell us you can trust him as a PG. KPJ can’t do a bounce pocket pass. Like the ones Jalen does to Sengun. This team needs an actual point guard and not whatever they’re doing on the court.
