This team only having 6 TOs is crazy. Really helped us run away with the game.

Need Reed to keep this up. Makes things so much easier for us to have a sniper out on the arc. Which is funny because we are right now the #1 offense despite how clunky we look at times. If he can continue to hold up defensively then our offense will be so tough to guard.

Hopefully Tari is okay. They’re saying hip contusion right now, but we know he’s had injuries linger. Especially since he’s been one of our best spacers overall this season, even if he was out of control often today. Reed stepping up and being reliable off the bench would certainly help alleviate things.

Watching the game and was very impressed with Sengun. Dude was making pull-up 3’s lol. If he continues this play, he’s very likely to land himself a All NBA 3rd team

Posistionless. Assuming GP requirement is met, I expect KD to be the Rockets rep at 2nd team tbh. Would be surprised to see All NBA voters give KD and Sengun both 2nd team spots.

So far media likes sengun more than kd, reflected in weekly rankings and mvp trackers

As it should be, I mean KD is a proper bucket getter, amazing for Houston, but Sengun is everything for this team, he makes a good Jokic impression, creates so much that won’t even be reflected in the box scores

If you watch Rockets 2 games you see Sengun is the heart of the team.

Without him things don’t work. KD is a great player but Sengun’s role is different

An aesthetically pleasing 25-30 for nearly 2 decades at this point while also providing above-average (and sometimes great) defense with his excellent length. He’s awesome.

Sheppard is nice off the bench, wonder if he’ll get starting role once again considering how well Okogie has done with the ball while starting. And Sengun KD scoring not for the faint hearted ngl, their scoring fixed by KD

Efficient-Swimmer794 | Rockets

I think it’ll be tough while Okogie is playing as well as he is

K1setsu | Warriors

24 | a day ago

Yeah, Okogie is much more calm with the ball, keeps it safe while Sheppard at times can panic. But off the bench i dont see the issue, so i still think Sheppard might start one day but only when he gets close to fully accustomed to NBA pace

stopwhining27 | Rockets

24 | a day ago

Sheppard can also be more aggressive off the bench and that’s when he’s at his best

jer113 | Rockets

I like Reeds spark off the bench for now, he brings so much energy in that second unit for us, especially when Sengun or KD are off the floor.

Portland is the team that wanted to get out there and run and push the pace but tonight the rockets were the team getting the turnovers and pushing it in transition. Fun game, hope Tari Eason isn’t too injured…

Reed Sheppard heard us talking shit lmao dude is out there improving every game it seems like.

Udoka has done so well locking in an offensive system that every player on the floor understands. They all know where to be and when to cut and crash effectively. Blazers desperately need to get healthy so they can get a second ball handler to cut TOs and go back to their pace and press style. They are an under the radar banged up team with the lack of guards and Sharpe minutes restriction.

Sorry Zach, but Minnesota is not better than this team.

NaturalThunder87 | Thunder

Definitely feels like right now there are three elite teams in the West in the Thunder, Nuggets, and Rockets. Not sure if they’re all roughly on the same level/tier or not, but all three are definitely on a tier above any other team in the West.

therealgibblegabble

12 | a day ago

I’m a rockets fan but I would definitely say they are each in a tier of their own. Thunder/Denver/Houston. Houston has the potential to join Denver if our team continues to gel and our young players keep improving. But barring injuries the Thunder should be a clear favorite over everyone IMO

Blazers were way sloppier with the ball than they normally are and couldn’t force turnovers. Clingan really couldn’t handle trying to get rebounds over Adams.

Lots of passes that just sailed or went through hands. Felt very “been on the road a week with 1 healthy ball handler.” Blazer fans like the CIA right now trying to get Scoot updates lol.
