Rockets have so much talent lowkey

[@EyeNeedAllDat]

It’s actually their issue if you pay attention to them they have too much talent and can’t get them all minutes it’s why reed is in the g league and why cam was also in the g league and why amen was not a starter

They should go after Jimmy💯trade Fred whitmore and Jabari

As someone who lives in Houston and has watched this team grow I say he keep it together and let it grow organically we are #2 in the west why mess that up?

[@torenjohnson2585]

Real talk this is an organic team built off mostly high draft picks and they rocking let's keep em together long as possible they starting to look special together

[@kikeg237]

It’s good but there’s team we cant beat Not in a 7 game series Okc ,Celtics, bucks have our number There’s other teams that I’m not so sure we can beat in the playoff Dallas , Denver They just need to trade for a really good guard preferably a point that can shoot someone like lamelo , Edwards , booker, maxey

[@Craftmaker-m4k]

@@kikeg237 Fred van fleet is coming off the books at the end of the year so that will give us plenty of cap room to sign players or do a sign and trade we’re not trying to win a championship this year but if we do then that will be great!

[@wethemboys133]

Agreed his defense and rebounding efforts have gone up tremendously which drains player until they are used to that but that being said every time he touches that ball he feels himself

@AnthonyJones-j6g Amen can't shoot. Idk if the best player on any team can be that bad at shooting. Right now, it's covered up by Jalen, Cam, and the guys hitting shots. Jabari doesn't play the same spots even when they are playing the same position. That's because Jabari can shoot. Jabari is in the bunker spot. My issue is Rockets fans have seen this before. With Westbrook when they traded for Robert Covington. It didn't work out well.

[@royalace2271]

Jalen has been inconsistent, no doubt. But since the end of last year, when he was breaking out and this recent month stretch has in common, is Amen Thompson in the starting lineup. Green plays better with Amen alongside him. Amen pushes the pace, which allows Green to get going early.

Yep Amen removes the speed limiter on offense, Sengun slows the pace down
