Jalen Green & Alperen Sengun Dominate In Houston Rockets Dress Rehearsal Game Vs San Antonio Spurs

[@codingstyle9480]

Still the same problem with the Rockets attack: When Alpi has the basketball in the paint, all of his team mates are so static around the periphery. We do not see more than a few positions where any of the Rocket player cuts.

[@tanoguz8792]

Are Sengun's teammates under hypnosis when he has the ball?

[@titusbeard7024]

that’s just not true, but also that’s coaching for not running things on the weak side

[@amirevcran4030]

You should be a coach. You ever dribbled a ball?

İ would like to see fred,jalen green,tari and amen lineup playing with alperen too ,not only with steven adams ... İf that happens we can talk about defence rating difference between Alperen and Adams ... Defence is something you do with your teammates, plus Tari and Amen do cuts much more so Alperen can have more options on offence when he faces doubleteam

[@mirmak2470]

jabari smith was very solid on defense, in terms of rebounding and blocks. i dont think tari should be a starter unless jabari feck up for sometime.

[@HarlanStClair-vv3xp]

The staff needs some love, I'm seeing so much improvement. Jalen's form looked really good. That Amen, Tari pairing is gonna give guys nightmares. Taking it in context of the competition but it's a deep team and plenty of upside there with a young core and new pieces still gelling.

[@andreapolesso1261]

No contest game, but we need more move from the guys when Alpi have the ball.

[@MrMrbface]

Thanks for bringing us awesome rockets talk and news

[@Fetemart]

IMHO Amen was the best all-around player in the game... then Jalen.. then Sengun. Overall the defense really needs to improve and be more consistent. On a good note that Amen- Tari tag team looks lethal.

[@Mr.SoloDolo9439]

Amen was playing the point with Fred and reed out there we looked nice

[@jerrellscott5203]

I would love for Green or Sengun to make the all star team for the first time this year.

[@benwitchamom9632]

I know it is preseason, but Jalen moving different. His defensive movement from the end of last year carried over, and his shooting form looks better

[@mirmak2470]

yeah it looks better but isnt he a different player than team? team plays as team, but he plays himself a bit.

[@stevomania12]

I really think jalen put in the work over the off-season. He looks faster his shot looks smoother. The rockets only go as far as jalen takes them

[@bastadimasta]

It was an easy game for Jalen Green. He was able to take so many uncontested shots. Bad defensive rating though.

[@RealParadox85]

Be nicd if Alpi gets these foul calls come reg season. Refs hate calling fouls for us tho normally, maybe this the year it changes.

[@carterhou3484]

Need to split up DB and Bari and mix and match them with Amen and Tari. DB and Bari don’t offer enough chaotic good that helps JG and Sengun, add a defensive disrupter to the mix and we’re cooking.

[@rodricktownsend]

Jalen needs to keep this up, be consistent and do it when it matters starting with the first regular season game, if he can do that we will make the playoffs and he will get a max contract. Great show and Go Rockets!!

[@jerrellscott5203]

Will the Rockets let Sengun and Green walk after the season? Should they be traded at the trade deadline?

[@davidstansbury9309]

No. No.

[@williamdavis9562]

Looks like Al P is staying for sure. Jalen looks like he needs to prove him self over the next few months to management. We’ll see how stone plays this. I doubt either will walk.

[@minhnguyen-mk9om]

this kid Jalen is the next Kobe people, no joke, he can take anyone to the hoop, right now he is the best one on one guard, his quickness and lateral move is nasty.

[@mirmak2470]

Kobe's reputation was coming from high school and everyone was talking about him. we still think jalen can be consistent or not. he is another level tbh.

[@BossNerd]

Jackson with breaking news! Reed Sheppard pushing to take Steven Adam's place as the Rockets' backup center.

[@LockedOnRockets]

😭😂

[@zavenbbr2]

When Alpi passes Houston shooters open brick mode on, why why why? Last year after his injury they raised the shooting percentage to %60, why Alpi is the problem, but how??

[@mirmak2470]

there are too many talents in the team, each of them wants to show their skills and all of them wants to extend their contracts or get paid better in the long run. Alpi's game is very promising but jalen has his repertuare... it's gonna be difficult for team and coach.

[@brettdryburg8857]

[@boeingofficial2009]

Hate me or not Jalen and Sengun cannot play together to reach their full potential, Jalen look like a star when he was playing with Steven Adam but under shadowed when sengun in because sengun play style

[@Fetemart]

I'm starting to think the same thing.

[@rudyserna673]

Sengun literally a blackhole on offense, waiting for people to cut just for him to create.

[@mirmak2470]

I felt the same but not only for sengun and jalen but also team has a lot of star potential! take a look at amen thompson and jabari is also there. i feel that sheppard has his own gamestyle and can combine with steven adams or a center like not fond of scoring. Ime will have difficult times.

[@sakaliolanadam1839]

It is because alpi is playing unexpectedly well wheras jaleens value is based on scoring thus if they play both jaleen doesnt want alpi show up thus he starts playing selfish and finds himself in difficult shooting positions however if jaleen stops playing selfish he would benefit much from alpi as alpi is originally a team player but if jaleen does so than the assist numbers of alpi would rise and alpi authomatically surpass jaleen statics

[@rudyserna673]

@@sakaliolanadam1839 They need to pass the rock to jalen just like how the timberwolves are treating edwards. Alp doesn't even have legit post moves and three pointers to scare the other team. You guys are treating like he jokic, he midget imitation version 4 sure.

[@williamdavis9562]

I think last night was the night he realized how far down the rotation he is.

[@DunyaLideri-lj3ly]

Alpi should leave this team.. he better not sign any contract next summer.. I think udoka does not really like him that much too.. still did not give him the "main guy" role who will run the offense.. there were times that he never even touched the ball, and just running back and forth, only setting screens during these preseason games.. since last season, his amazing and "saucy" passes vanished too.. because udoka tries to limit him within a certain role.. not to mention many of his passes do not count as assists because the "brick town" has been terrible from the three point line.. his team mates are very selfish as well.. especially jalen green and cam whitmore are ball hogs.. everybody tries to stand out, score, and get a contract.. if Alpi's minutes decrease because of Adams too, that will be another problem.. I think Alpi must be more selfish too, especially attempt more mid-range shots, and solidify his place in the league this season.. so that he can leave this team when the time comes, and go to a team that will use him properly.. if the current state of affairs continue like this during the season too.. and if he stays next summer.. his game and mental status might get seriously undermined.. and he might end up becoming just an ordinary big man..

[@Fetemart]

What team do you think will use him "properly"?

Just had some time on my hands at the airport and wanted to post some Rockets trade ideas. Trade #1 Rockets trade Jalen Green to the Lakers for Auston Reeves and Dalton Knecht.

Udoka doesn't like Sengun. Although he is the best of the team, he does not get the value he deserves. His teammates also continue to waste his assists. They should stop being static while the ball is in the Sengun.

I don’t think ALP and Jalen can work. I don’t think Sengun within this rockets org can work in general. It’s been this way since he was drafted. The vibes are very off. Jalen, Amen, Reed really not looking to get Sengun involved cause they all think they are the next star in the league. Which really isn’t their fault. It’s what the coaching staff is probably telling them. No hierarchy. Which is very dangerous for any team.
