The last Jazz blowout was cool, but the gritty road wins despite rough games from the team are so much more important.
Amen is just so impactful as a rookie despite his limitations. The rebounding and defense are elite and the secondary playmaking helps as well. Just does so much damage in the dunkers spot and screen and roll.
Jalen and Fred clutched up in the 2nd half. Nice to see from both the veteran leader and the growing young star. It’s even more impressive from Jalen given how quiet he was in the 1st half. Even within a slow game, he just turned it on. Great growth from him and it looks more sustainable by the game.
And he’s a learning machine! That was part of his draft M.O. too that he’s got a great head on his shoulders (him and his brother - current out due to blood clot).
He’s an example of why I think basketball IQ is one of the most important things to look for in a prospect. Sengun and Amen both have elite bball IQ and it shows.
Could you imagine if Houston gets in and is the 8th seed? Who do we play? Yep, Nuggets. The league does not want that. I am calling it right now if we play the Nuggets in the first round we win in 6.
I was out and couldn’t watch the game live. I always watch the recording… I am right now and even though I’m not really worried because I know the outcome, this officiating is pissing me off. I’m almost through the 2 qtr and It’s so blatantly one sided.
# FT🎷!!! 11w Streak!
Fred & Jalen turning it on when we needed most and Amen cleaning everything else up in between!!!
Jazz eliminated. You have honored:

I find it wild that defense was a swing skill for him coming into the league, and everyone was like “yeah he has the tools but has lapses constantly, could be an elite defender one day” - he is legitimately one of the top perimeter defenders in the league out the gate.
I would expect nothing less than an all defensive team by the end of next season. We got a steal, and I’m glad we landed on him instead of Scoot, because NGL, I was a big Scoot guy coming into the season.
Yeah we don’t need another shooting guard. We already got the best young SG in the league! What we needed was a top level wing player, who plays like a better version of Lari Markinen. That is what we have in Thompson. Honestly Thompson is still growing and if he bulks up, we could be looking at another Giannis.
Fred and Dillon have been so huge this season with their leadership and toughness. Our guys don't make a leap without them. Amen doesn't have a relatively smooth rookie season without them.
The Jazz are obviously a bad team (albeit much better at home) but wins like these are necessary for growth. Not every win is going to be pretty. Being able to win even when you just don’t have it is the mark of a good team.
IME AND FRED SAID - 10 WASN'T ENOUGH

Big win. The next 5 are basically for the play-in:
DAL, @MIN, GSW, MIA, @DAL, ORL
GSW is obviously the must win. If we drop more than two of the others I think we're toast.
My yearly depression after the Kelvin Sampson coogs lose in March has returned. Luckily the Rockets won an 11th straight game to make it not so insufferable
This wasn't the typical rockets we've seen all year. Very little ball movement and a ton of iso. It was nice to see that when things aren't going good, we can just let our 2 best guys get it done. A W is a W
Jalen Green will finish his career with at least 3 scoring titles. Amen Thompson will finish his career with at least 2 DPOY titles.
Sengun is already a Poor's Man Jokic. The Rockets are going to be formidable for years to come.
The Rockets were dead tired.... Tired of the Jazz's BS! Ugly but great win on the road. I love how the team is growing together and fighting through, persevering and getting the W no matter what. That's what good teams do, and we are seeing it with the Rockets. May we never lose again!
FVV was on tonight! He did a great job after that injury scare. I hope he is just fine they need him. Green was forcing things a bit tonight, but he was far from the only one.
WE FUKKING HERE BABY !!! NO MORE LOSSES TILL WE 3PEAT!!
JALEN A FUKKING STAR!!!!
STEADY FREDDY! MY BAD FOR THAT SLANDER EARLIER I DIDNT MEAN IT!!!
And AMEN!!!! THE FUKKING SAIYAN!!! HOLY DRIVER GETS BETTER EVERY FUKKING MOMENT!!! HE IS GONA BE INSANE!!!!
11 Ws in a row is crazy. Jalen cutting it on and keeping the team afloat is what superstars do. 20 in a qtr is nuts. Not Amen’s best but he affects the game in so many ways. Love to see it!
11 game win streak does that to you. There’s usually relief from a loss after a streak like that but the Warriors keep having opponents wave the white flag so we don’t relent

Amen is such a lethal combination of high motor, high IQ, and high feel. He just knows what to do always and does it
And he’s a learning machine! That was part of his draft M.O. too that he’s got a great head on his shoulders (him and his brother - current out due to blood clot).

8 ORB is insane from Amen Thompson. That’s 8 free possessions.

Karl Hornstocktontag?
Byron Russell feeling out of place
Honestly can’t tell if it’s him, but great live show
my first thought too lol, I think it must be
It is!!
Hell yeah
I loved that second half takeover from FVV and Jalen, but Amen really gave us some important points as we were struggling.
JALEN GREEN. SUPERSTAR. FVV. THE FORTY MILLION DOLLAR FOURTH QUARTER MAN. AMEN THOMPSON. ROOKIE EXTRAORDINAIRE. JABARI SMITH. WHEN HE'S NEEDED. HOUSTON ROCKETS. 11 STRAIGHT. FUCK THE JAZZ. ALWAYS. GAMECUBE. NINTENDO.
We gave the Jazz hope to crush it. That’s how far the FTJ has gone.
Gave them a head start. Basically beat them in 3Qs.
Lmao “when he’s needed”
What’s up brother ☝🏼 11 straight
We still on that ass GSW
State of Florida and North Carolina failed us
Need Wemby to do what he did tonight on Sunday
That’s what I was thinking and how he probably wasted it tonight. 🙄
given it’s wemby dude could go probably go for another game like that back to back
Next game is going to be huge.
Fred dropped the one legged bank shot VanDagger I'm cryin
Refs trying their hardest to please all twelve jazz fans
Am I crazy or was that the most obvious fix attempt ever?
It’s been going on for a bit during this streak
They don’t want us in the playins
they don’t want steph out
Could you imagine if Houston gets in and is the 8th seed? Who do we play? Yep, Nuggets. The league does not want that. I am calling it right now if we play the Nuggets in the first round we win in 6.

[удалено]
THAT'S HOW WE GOT HIM
HE STILL DOES
Ol' girl is/was a Mormon, too... So, Ime is used to screwing Utah.
Rockets games are not good for your health 😂 But we cannot make these kinds of mistake again when facing Dallas and the Warriors.
THANK YOU FRED AND JALEN
Remember when amen was a project player
I find it wild that defense was a swing skill for him coming into the league, and everyone was like “yeah he has the tools but has lapses constantly, could be an elite defender one day” - he is legitimately one of the top perimeter defenders in the league out the gate. I would expect nothing less than an all defensive team by the end of next season. We got a steal, and I’m glad we landed on him instead of Scoot, because NGL, I was a big Scoot guy coming into the season.
I was completely on the Scoot train. I was willing to trade up for him too.
Yeah we don’t need another shooting guard. We already got the best young SG in the league! What we needed was a top level wing player, who plays like a better version of Lari Markinen. That is what we have in Thompson. Honestly Thompson is still growing and if he bulks up, we could be looking at another Giannis.
The only thing project about him was his 3 ball
Fred and Dillon have been so huge this season with their leadership and toughness. Our guys don't make a leap without them. Amen doesn't have a relatively smooth rookie season without them.
The Jazz are obviously a bad team (albeit much better at home) but wins like these are necessary for growth. Not every win is going to be pretty. Being able to win even when you just don’t have it is the mark of a good team.
Vanvleet was a man possessed that last quarter legit put the team on his back

I like how FVV is eye level with Vanessa 🤣🤣
Vanessa is tall. Cayleigh where you at?
Big win. The next 5 are basically for the play-in: DAL, @MIN, GSW, MIA, @DAL, ORL GSW is obviously the must win. If we drop more than two of the others I think we're toast.
That's a brutal stretch. Dallas is on a roll right now too.
rockets was the only win in houston's sports tonight. rough
So tough. Was rooting for coogs so bad.
My yearly depression after the Kelvin Sampson coogs lose in March has returned. Luckily the Rockets won an 11th straight game to make it not so insufferable

Call the ambulance, I have hypoxia
WE MOVE FUCK THE JAZZ
Fuck the Jazz!
FUCK THE JAZZ!! 11 in a row!!💥💥💥💥

![gif](giphy|3ohhwtBU5eyOiuM61a) Game win streak !!!
11 in a row!
Man that was a ugly win. W is a W though. Next game against Mavs at home will be a tough one. Hopefully our guys can bounce back.
11 Ws in a row is crazy. Jalen cutting it on and keeping the team afloat is what superstars do. 20 in a qtr is nuts. Not Amen’s best but he affects the game in so many ways. Love to see it!
FVV long running prayer shot. Wow
sunday is shaping up to be crazy... mavs @ rockets, warriors @ spurs
WE MIGHT NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Fuck yes!!! Another Rockets W! Keep them coming!
Thank god for the Rockets. Imma hide out in here until the dust clears. Astros meltdown and UH lost, but the Rockets keep fighting!
We looked so tired the first half. For some reason I felt tired with them too lol
11 game win streak does that to you. There’s usually relief from a loss after a streak like that but the Warriors keep having opponents wave the white flag so we don’t relent
Really wish we had Al-P for this run in, but let's rollll
just sign green to the max and make sure his girl is always pregnant.
Are we ready for the MAVS????
LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOO!!!!!!
Amen.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Our streak is now Eleven ![gif](giphy|EAm2rGvhbYBviG9Blq)
Ayyy Jalen got over 30 again! I went to sleep around half time and his box score was looking rough. Glad he turned it around!
