I'm just happy we're playing meaningful games in March and April. After the last 3 seasons, this is so refreshing.

We just have to take it one game at a time. No need to look too far ahead or look what at the Warriors are doing. Just take care of business one game at a time and then see where we end up in a few weeks.

I would try to sell high on Green this summer. Rockets are better off with Sengun/Jabari/Thompson as their core trio with Vanvleet being the vet going forward.

Sengun has been better their entire careers. Encouraging stretch from Green but be serious man

They're not trading either but one has been way better and it's not Jalen

A stretch that lasts 1/7th of the season isn't enough to start making rash decisions and trading young pieces you don't need to trade. There's no reason Sengun and Green can't play on the same team. One can take over when the other isn't rolling. They don't have to play one way in unison all the time.

How we wish the player do get team friendly deals that make them stick together long term...
The difference between the last season runs was now the team is winning and second he does make look away three pointers..

During the summer Jalens drills will be isolation with a big on the lane.. he isnt really used to finish when theres a team mate in the shaded lane

I really want Jalen to hone in on his confidence and accuracy with jumpers and come into next season efficient throughout the year. We've needed a consistent perimeter scorer and isolation threat. Someone to be the Jamal Murray of the team. Rockets have a bunch of forwards that can cut and finish off Sengun dishes. The two man game for Green and Sengun should be based around the PnR. That's on Jalen to master what the best read is to do in that position.

Their games are very different. Brown is an awesome athlete, but can't really use his athleticism the way Green does, who is way shiftier and has enough speed to force the defense to collapse. In addition, Green actually passes when the defense helps. Brown is at his best when he's making difficult contested shots. He's a two foot leaper, but, unlike say Anthony Edwards, he needs a long time to set his feet for his jump.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

I was thinking green shooting 3 pointers while peak of his jump would be low percentage (slower release) in todays game and he is better to have a set shot lile jumper if guven spot up situations but i was wrong.. he is doing dwayne wade things off the dribble

10 in a row for H-Town with a very impressive win at OKC.

And Alpie back soon.

I think we enough of a sample size now to say their swashbuckling form is not a fluke.

It's actually very difficult these days to win 10 games in a row in a league full of parity (the good teams outweigh the bad ones which is refreshing)

Fredricks Vanus Vleetimaximus is enough to make any young compelling team into a championship contender.
