The defense from Jalen too has been big. Just a total playmaker.
82% FG%… and of the missed shots, Rockets had more offensive rebounds than the Jazz had defensive rebounds.
Jabari missed the shot, but Jalen organizing the offense to clear out a post up for Jabari on Sexton was something I’ve never seen him do before.
I generally agree. I would also say for the Rockets to be a truly legit contender, you probably need two of Alpi, Jalen, and Amen to take a leap...
When he's finishing at the rim with a field goal percentage in the Rudy Gobert / Nic Claxton range since becoming a starter, it's hard to argue...
Decision making and playmaking too. Coach quote at halftime was interesting and seemed right — when he’s rebounding at a high level, a lot of...
Sadly, I thought about him when they got the wheelchair out.
I get that FVV isn't around for forever... but I'm excited enough about Amen Thompson that I wouldn't be that excited about bringing in a guy who...
His contest of the Brunson layup attempt at about the 2:20 mark in the 4th was beautiful. He read it the whole way.
There goes a landing spot for Tate. On a separate note, the 2021 version Chris Boucher would be a great fit next to Alpi, but he's regressed...
I feel bad that Jalen’s uptick has coincided with some inconsistent play from the team overall. I mean that — he’s actually played really well and...
Amen’s speed and athleticism is really functional. I don’t know if it was the injuries, rust, rookie jitters, or what, but he’s a lot of fun to...
Watching Amen’s off ball growth has been fascinating. He obviously didn’t do it all that much growing up, other than when he let his twin play...
That was my thought as well -- the team was fairly rich in 2nd rounders with limited space for development and so it made sense to move off some...
Jalen did work with Fred for a bit this summer. It does seem like Ime has broken him down completely to build him back. I’m curious to see if he...
I'd be curious how many dunks each has on the season (more specifically since Whitmore joined the rotation). As quick and bouncy as Jalen is, he...
So good to see Jalen playing loose. Amen ripping Lamelo Ball was fun to watch too.
That is wild context... as timid as we may think Amen in shooting from the perimeter, Simmons is literally about 10x worse.
Most high lotto rookies make a bunch of mistakes of aggression, mixed in with wow plays early (Cam falls in this camp). Amen seemed to be more...
Interesting chain of dominoes. The Thunder truly made the best of a team reboot-- holding the Clippers hostage because they needed to get an...
