2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?

I think they need a trade. A lot of weird pieces that aren’t suited for their current positions. I’d keep Reed, but they must add a true PG.

I’d take 2 seconds for Jabari. Colossal failure in resigning him.

  • Went to first game of season last night. Good times. Reed Sheppard seems kinda dumb. Holiday needs more minutes still. KD "off" night and still drilled 2 of the biggest shots As we all know..

  • Lulz  

  • Went tonight. Good to pull that one out...tough win.

I wouldn't overreact too much. Your best asset hasn't played in a couple weeks now. You're in all of these games.

I think JSJ will be fine.

I'm just not sure what Thompson is going forward and I get that that's a hard pill to swallow but he can't shoot or play point guard. Is that worth a rookie max extension? I'm not sure. I don't see him as the 2nd best player on a title team unless he takes a leap or Apli turns into Jokic.

A lot of this is just noise until Alpi comes back. That dude is a fucking dog and has been sorely missed in these games against POR especially.

He's currently the third best player and is in his 3rd season. He has greatly improved his shooting inside the arc and FT line, but yes, if he can't be better than what he is currently BTA, his ceiling is greatly limited. My biggest concern right now is the Thompson, Smith, and Eason's defense is abysmal. Way too much easy penetration into the paint.

Can't remember who it was - Lowe and someone else maybe - saying they'd keep Amen over Sengun if you theoretically traded one.

I think that's fucking insane. Amen is a phenomenal talent - there's just some stuff under the hood that's concerning when you watch this team. I'm rooting for him to figure it out because he's likeable and seems like a really high character guy - he just leaves you wanting a little bit. That turnover last night down 2 was brutal as was the blown lead when Durant sat. JSJ was an easy target and deserves a lot of blame but Amen has to play around stuff like that and figure it out. Say what you want about Russ but Amen needs a little Westbrook in him. He needs a little "go fuck yourself".

On the other side of the coin, Sengun may have a little TOO much of that.

I think y'all figure it out. You're not going to keep missing these looks from 3 all season. Your schedule has also been brutal to start the season.

I’ll stick with trading Jabari. It’s already a negative contract in my opinion.

The kid is just a pussy. He’s made public remarks about how he doesn’t like to bang inside. Dude you play power forward. It’s a big part of your job.

I thought he was an important piece last year because he was the only guy on the team that could consistently hit 3’s, and the defense looked like shit without him. They have the roster flexibility with Durant to move on. Should have probably kept Brooks and moved Jabari.

Makes the most sense. They could then move Amen off the ball for good this season and back to small forward like last season (where he forced his way into the starting lineup replacing an injured Jabari anyway)

Alperen Sengun is a game time decision, he’s testing it out right now.

Tari Eason is OUT, and Ime Udoka says that timeline is game to game … but it’s “nothing terrible” and they did get “good news” from the MRI.

Aaron Holiday will start in Tari’s place

3 travelling calls so far...what are these refs doing this isnt 1993

KD and Holiday on court and Ime picks Jabari to shoot the tech....maybe time for a drug test

Just a dogshit 3 point shooting team. There will be some good shooters in the buyout market. I hope we can work something out. I’m sure he trying, but if Reed were a top 10 3 point shooter it would solve many of our problems.

It’s time to move Jabari to the corner on offense. Tell him to shoot wide open 3’s only. He thinks he’s Durant and mid range game just isn’t there. And oh yeah he’s trying to shoot his way through a horrific slump.

Embarrassing game all around. Getting outmuscled, outhustled and outrebounded by one of the worst teams in the league. Ime deserves a lot of heat.

Edited by Macklemore

Ime has been trash for the last 2 months. Stone built and horribly imbalanced roster.

Big mistake rushing Alpie back. Just rest him another 2 days. I know you’re trying to bust a slump, but it’s a late game on the West Coast.
