Jabari Smith Jr’s Playmaking, Kevin Porter Jr’s Defense & ESPN’s Inaccurate Report On Stephen Silas
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses takeaways from the Houston Rockets 137-115 loss against the New York Knicks, focusing on Jabari Smith Jr.’s playmaking and career-high six assists and Kevin Porter Jr.’s mixed evening, finding success on offense but allowing Immanuel Quickley (40 points) to go off all night, and ESPN’s inaccurate piece about head coach Stephen Silas. How Jabari has become more effective at creating his own shot as well as creating for others off the dribble, KPJ with a nice offensive bounce back from the Cavs game, but almost disinterested in playing defense against Quickley, how Jalen Green being able to get to the free throw line helps him in games like this, and thoughts on the inaccurate tidbit from ESPN’s story regarding Silas.

KPJ has enough talent to be whatever player he wants to be, if he wanted to dial back on scoring an average 8 9 10 assist a game I believe he can and his defense is very underrated when he’s locked in he’s well above average defensively his only problem is mental, and I think the Rockets are missing a coach that’s going to hold his players accountable and sit them down when they need to be, no matter how high they are on the totem pole. Get us Mark Jackson give us Wemby a true number one (as I don’t think we have one on the team currently) and the Rockets will go from day to night.
Why isn't Sengun's defense never mentioned like others?
The only rumor I read about coach Silas is that of the Houston rockets get rid of Silas this year, the rockets organization are considering Boston Celtics former coach Ime Udoka. Which, honestly is afar better coach then Silas
Jackson, do you happen to know if Kenyon Martin Jr still wants to be traded ⁉️
THEY NEED TO REST THE STARTER. BEFORE, A PLAYER GET HURT..AND BE OUT FOR 25YRS.
Tbf Jalen was receiving a lot of double teams.
he ( jabari ) hasn't gotten late foul calls from the refs yet..
he needs to work on that, like what happened last season with green, he doesn't get a lot of foul calls from refs but this season he is a good one at getting fouls from an angle that can be seen by refs.
I HOPE WE GET WEMBY
By the way i think someone listened your postcast and said to alpi " enough complaining , just stop this shit and play"
A new coach will hold KPJ accountable on defense or he will take him off the court. What is more important is finding players who will hold themselves to a higher standard of play without a coach getting on their ass for loafing or being immature. I made a statement months ago I would take Grimes and Quickly over KPJ and Green. I have not budged a inch on that for a second but I admit maybe Jalen Green might become a better player than I thought. There are not many players on this team that I would take into the next season. I'd keep KJ, Jabari, Green and Tari. Maybe TyTy and Jaygup. Send Nix to the G League. Everybody else, good luck.
Man, Jackson, you and RocketsWatch makes this season bearable. We are on the up and up moving into next year. Let’s get that top pick!
