Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses three areas the Houston Rockets NEED to improve on if they want to make the playoffs this season, starting with pace of play to benefit the athletes on the roster like Jalen Green and Amen Thompson, three-point shooting and prioritizing better shooters AND better quality shots, and clutch time performances last season in which the defense completely cratered.

Go Rockets 🤘🏾🚀
Jabari has to be more aggressive
Depth is there but is our starting lineup good enough to be a playoff team in the west this year? If not what moves would you make?
1. Jalen Green should be either the 6th player or to be traded. He's too inefficient and has a very limited offensive plays.
2. Sengun needs to take more responsibility and need better cardio.
3. Jabari and Tari must compete for the starting five fairly. Jabari's draft pick number should no longer grant him 30+ minutes play time.
4. Amen needs a better 3p% for tactical reasons.
5. Reed must be given enough time with Sengun to understand each other as sson as possible.
Go Rockets!!!
Need a guy at the 2 that is an efficient shooter. If that is not Jalen, then he needs to be replaced with someone who is.
Dillon needs to up his game a bit or we need to consider trading him and letting some core guy have those minutes.
Amen needs a 3pt shot.
We need more than than one way to play offense. Playing slow always is too predictable and limiting.
Very good analysis. So much on point. liked it. not political. tell all the weaknesses.
Rockets will need to use Reed efficiently. If Jalen doesn’t play well, this might make sense: Play FVV and Reed together and let Jalen play with Amen Thompson. Amen works with Jalen better than FVV. I think FVV and Reed might be a bit short but they can make a dangerous backcourt.
