  1. Really good recap, informative and easy to watch. Im sure you'll blow up this year if you're consistent man.

  2. Man, if there is a lot more where this came from, this is gonna be a great channel for all my Rockets content I've been needing. Keep up[ the great work.

  3. Great video dude! Gained a subscriber, look forward to more breakdowns on Rockets games this season!

  4. Was not expecting Rockets as a team to watch, was here for Adams but there’s a lot of talent and experienced players to watch and thanks for the video. Nice & short insight to the team

  5. Jock Landle's another centre that is pretty good he's a solid defender and they know each other aswell!

  6. This was good, reminds of a time when people just reviewed what happened in the game, you just add more detail.

  7. Yoo nice break down of the game. Need more videos so i can consume more rockets content 🙂 got yourself a new follower 💪🚀

  8. as a houstonian, i havent cared for the rockets for a good decade. even during the harden era, i never believed. he could bring a chip here, aside from the one year where CP3 got injured vs warriors. but definitely have not even tuned during these rebuilding years. saw Sheppard play during the summer league and the kid reminded me of Damian Lillard. this squad looks halfway decent, love Steven Adams

  9. This team has some amazing depth. I hope that they figure it out. I still can’t believe that the Wizards passed on Reed.

  10. That are great idea using the guard to harass the big man for the ball after the switch, which forces the forward or center to react fast to either go inside or contested jump shot.

  11. Great video! What do you thinking we should do with Jalen? I want him to succeed but sometimes I feel like he might not be a piece of our future

  12. What are you smoking? Steven Adams was objectively trash on both ends of the floor, and looks like a huge mistake for the Rockets. He was a -8 net rating on the game and was a major reason they lost. Every single time he stepped on the floor, the spacing was completely off on offense, and his man could easily sag off unless he was clogging the lanes. On defense, he looked slow and clumsy. Teams abuse Adams by switching him onto a guard. The Rockets don’t even need him anymore now than Sengun has improved his defensive footwork and agility. He is an awful fit for this team. The only time they should ever play him is against one of the few true centers in the league like Embiid and Jokic. Otherwise, I would much rather have Jabari play backup center because that’s the lineup that allows Jalen, Amen, Cam, and Tari to shine. Great spacing (maybe even better with Reed), extremely fast transition team, with elite versatile switchable defense to create turnovers, all in one lineup. Please don’t waste time playing Adams on this team. He is this year’s Jock Landale or Boban. Good veteran presence but terrible fit who singlehandedly cancels out the strengths of their core.

  13. Houston has a really interesting mix of players on their roster, between the skilled vets like Adams and Vanvleet and the young players like Sengun, Green and Whitmore. Should be a good season for the Rockets.

  14. Rockets have such a fun team. Such a crazy mesh of young super athletes, small guards that are solid defenders, a dude in green that can drop 40 whenever, one of the best young bigs in the league in Alpren, big Adams backing him up. Like why is brooks even in this team anymore, he’ll be stunting growth.

  15. Reed gets compared mostly to Curry, but his defense and ability to run an offense with precision makes him more similar to CP3 with a more lethal jumpshot and limitless range. Steph Curry, at times, can be a liability on defense, although he improved on that end throughout his career. Reed's lack of size gives scouts questions about his ability to play defense in the NBA. But his quick hands, surprisingly good lateral quickness, anticipation, and high basketball IQ, allow him to be disruptive and effective on defense, similar to CP3, who was a great defender, during his prime despite his lack of size. Reed, at 6'3, has a few inches over CP3, has the potential to be just as great, or even surpassing CP3 on the defensive end of the ball. Entering the NBA, CP3 was already an elite floor general and playmaker, and he improved his 3PT shot throughout his career. Reed is a good floor general and playmaker but is an elite shooter with limitless range. If he makes slight improvements every season as a playmaker, Reed will be considered one of the best PGs and potential to be a HOF.
