Aggies and Rockets are partnering up in winning games they had no business winning and I'm here for it. Manny and Tari get the game blouses tonight.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

That alley from Tate to Cam was disgusting.
Cam is soooooo athletic. That dude can absolutely fly.Head Ninja In Charge said:

SO what should we put the line at for Houston at Cleveland Saturday night - Cavs by 30?
The Athletic trade deadline story
I don't disagree
With guys like Tate, Reed and Witt all not getting enough minutes to develop to their potential - it doesn't make sense to hold where we're at

If someone offers you a great deal you take it, but you have no need to do anything. This team is built for a long run and someone is going to have to really make it worth your while to let go of controllable assets.
I agree. This team has some issues but there is no reason to make a deal just to make a deal. Hold out and make sure it is the right deal whether that is at the trade deadline or next offseason.Silent For Too Long said:

welp, I'll just say I don't expect a Rockets win tonight after that...linkdude said:

A win tonight would be staggering. Everything you know bout basketballl would suggest a complete drubbing. Although they did go out after the Wednesday game and lay an egg vs. Philly.linkdude said:welp, I'll just say I don't expect a Rockets win tonight after that...linkdude said:

A win tonight would be a huge freaking message to the rest of the league, honestly
Rockets collapse too

It's amazing the amount of contact Cleveland is allowed to have but if you look sideways at Mitchell or Garland and they get to go to the line.
Feels like every 4th quarter this season. Arguably the worst top tier team in the NBA at closing out gamesmAgnoliAg said:

But they do end up getting the job done. Big statement road W against one of the best teams in the league
Statement win tonight. Amen was everywhere and that block from Tari late was a thing of beauty.
Let's. F. Go!
Amen Thompson with a tripple Dub.
This team is special.

Thank you for salvaging the day, Rockets
If Amen gets a 3 point shot at some point he will be a superstar
Rockets 11 and 3 with Amen in the starting lineup.
JSJ you might be coming off the bench when you get healthy. Sorry homie.

Maybe JSJ, or maybe somebody else - but I don't think you can pull Amen from starting the way he's playing
And he's our most consistent young player right now

I still say Green is meant to be a 6th man. Microwave instant offense when hot. Sengun, Jabari, Amen, Brooks, FVV.
I just am not sure Green's ego would ever allow it.

Amen is a 1 isn't he? Seems like FVV is eventually the odd man out.
He's a 1-3 with the athletic ability to play 4.
I don't see him taking Jabari's spot. More likely Brooks

Pulling Jalen from the starting lineup is absurd. Brooks is the obvious option.

FVV, Green, Thompson, Jabari and AlP would be my choice as well.
Rockets are now +20 wins from this spot 2 years ago and +9 from last year
2025: 30-14
2024: 21-23

Best start through 44 game since 32-12 in 2018 on their way to 65-17. Which means they went 33-5 down the stretch. Which is nuts.

Fred is very much the guy to go from the starting lineup. Definitely play him in high minutes and to close games with Brooks being your first guy out. Team struggles to rebound without Jabari.
I'm not even a huge FVV fan, but I have to disagree. Fred is the only real PG we have. We need someone to handle the ball and set up the offense. Amen is a great defender and off-ball playmaker, but you can tell he doesn't have the tools of a true PG yet. In time, it will probably be his position, but for now we need at least one adult on the floor.
Much to my annoyance, I think Amen is going back to the bench. I think benching Jabari or Dillon would make better sense from a talent standpoint, but I think Ime will choose to preserve team chemistry and bench Amen. I still think Amen gets 35+ mpg, but just starts on the bench.

And then you watch him play and you think "What idiot would bench this guy"?
Through 1Q in Boston and Amen is bossing the joint.

He's the alpha of the team. No way he goes back to the bench. There's not a question of who the superstar is.
Seems like Nobody misses more bunnies or tipins that alpi
Jalen looking tough with that patch under his eye.
