    JAREN JACKSON JR IS A MOTHER FUCKING PROBLEM!

  2. Juventus19

    I’ll take the W, but man our defense absolutely struggled tonight.

  3. pianoandbeer

    Pete really said Issa parade inside my city yeah 😂😂

  4. Seymour_Says

    5th straight game with 25+ for Jaren 👀

  5. mytreesleafless

    We can change our sub description to 2023 🖤

  6. Grizz win. Gotta give it to Houston tho, now I get how they beat Boston lol they hustled.

  7. I feel terrible for anyone who sold their Block Panther stock. He be him

  8. Of course Rockets makes things difficult for us but it’s a challenge necessary to overcome.

  9. MandatoryChallanger

    Stressful at times but some great performances and I mean a great team performance. Who has a bench as deep as us?

  10. Have we reached the promised land of snack cracking it into the rotation ?! I think so!

  11. Nervous_Platypus4709

    KAARI WANTS THE SMOKE FROM SKIP!

  12. benefit_of_mrkite

    Kenneth Lofton Jr, we speak your name!

  13. Great win, glad to get that Dub. Rebounding was sad to watch- way too many offensive second chances given away.

    JUUUNNNIIIOOOORRR

  14. BIG game for the big 3 – Bane amazing 4Q, Ja return, and JJJ playing his best basketball ever

  15. Fezinator

    Petey is awesome. Last game, “Hold my beer,” this game he flips off Skip with, “IT’S A PARADE INSIDE MY CITY YEEEEEAAAAAAAH!”

    And Kaari about to steal the internet with her, “It’s a parade inside my city, yeah!”

  16. Jaggleson

    Skip bayless: JA MORANT HAS RECRUITED HIS 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER INTO A THUG CRIMINAL GANG

  17. OttaBenga

    The rockets have some scary offense guys

    imagine if they draft Scoot, damn

  18. blibbard

    Guys a clown for the windmill at the end but hey I’ll let it slide they’re a tanking team lol. Got the W so no complaints haha

  19. spacejambroni

    World Breaker Jaren – dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.

    These Snack minutes are nice.

  20. I would prefer to stay the 2 seed over getting 1 in my opinion. Kings in 2nd round is an easier match up in my opinion

  21. ewgrosscooties

    I’m gonna be real honest, the team held it down fine without Ja. How loud the crowd would get when he stood to check in made me sad for the rest of the team and how hard they continued to work despite his absence.

    Ja’s great, I’m so happy he’s back, but I feel like there is something to re-earn (didn’t expect to feel that way). He doesn’t deserve more minutes than anyone else. I guess Taylor managed that well tbh.

    I am too emotionally invested in this goddamn team.

  22. Look_Listen_Origin

    Jaren Jackson Jr. is extremely good at basketball
