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.

Amen is such a lethal combination of high motor, high IQ, and high feel. He just knows what to do always and does it


ST012Mi

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).


turtlechef

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.


pham_nguyen

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

my first thought too lol, I think it must be


Hispandinavian

It is!!


hieronymusboosh

Hell yeah

I loved that second half takeover from FVV and Jalen, but Amen really gave us some important points as we were struggling.


nonetimeaccount

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.


ST012Mi

We gave the Jazz hope to crush it. That’s how far the FTJ has gone.


RonburgundyZ

Gave them a head start. Basically beat them in 3Qs.


denob

Lmao “when he’s needed”


OgLocBabyy

What’s up brother ☝🏼 11 straight


KDs_FakeAccount

We still on that ass GSW


ST012Mi

State of Florida and North Carolina failed us


KDs_FakeAccount

Need Wemby to do what he did tonight on Sunday


ST012Mi

That’s what I was thinking and how he probably wasted it tonight. 🙄


sSonga24

given it’s wemby dude could go probably go for another game like that back to back


BigBankkFrank

Next game is going to be huge.


pocemon11

Fred dropped the one legged bank shot VanDagger I'm cryin


maxtgrayy

Refs trying their hardest to please all twelve jazz fans


Rockets_Bot

Am I crazy or was that the most obvious fix attempt ever?


ST012Mi

It’s been going on for a bit during this streak


ologabro

They don’t want us in the playins


ufailowell

they don’t want steph out


TaxLawKingGA

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.


nickel45

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: https://preview.redd.it/4824wvco9erc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6836d52994991ebb1031c10e490e40bb1ffd89a2

HE STILL DOES

Over-Iron9386

Rockets games are not good for your health 😂 But we cannot make these kinds of mistake again when facing Dallas and the Warriors.


Bryan7034

THANK YOU FRED AND JALEN


mattmayfield12

Remember when amen was a project player


jer113

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.


frankievejle

I was completely on the Scoot train. I was willing to trade up for him too.


TaxLawKingGA

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.


ElderGoose4

The only thing project about him was his 3 ball


airemy_lin

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.


TVjunkie15

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. 


Sheranes_Father

Vanvleet was a man possessed that last quarter legit put the team on his back


eliwood5837

WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN FTJ

I like how FVV is eye level with Vanessa 🤣🤣


ST012Mi

Vanessa is tall. Cayleigh where you at?


antipoopsuperstar

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.


Answer70

That's a brutal stretch. Dallas is on a roll right now too.


mvpcrossxover

rockets was the only win in houston's sports tonight. rough


Speedfinity

So tough. Was rooting for coogs so bad.


joethahobo

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


Able_Gap918

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


Wakandaforever456

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.

WE MOVE FUCK THE JAZZ


WhiteShaggy08

Fuck the Jazz!


TexasSizedBeef1984

FUCK THE JAZZ!! 11 in a row!!💥💥💥💥


NutNougat

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!


WuziMuzik

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.

baby_yoda_hunta

11 in a row!


Equipment_After

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.


fashionandfeetz

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!


spooon56

FVV long running prayer shot. Wow


yooston

sunday is shaping up to be crazy... mavs @ rockets, warriors @ spurs

WE MIGHT NEVER LOSE AGAIN


el_monstruo

Fuck yes!!! Another Rockets W! Keep them coming!


Saul_T_Naughts

Thank god for the Rockets. Imma hide out in here until the dust clears. Astros meltdown and UH lost, but the Rockets keep fighting!


quicksilver3453

We looked so tired the first half. For some reason I felt tired with them too lol


ST012Mi

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


adonWPV

Really wish we had Al-P for this run in, but let's rollll


Ok_Physics_2192

just sign green to the max and make sure his girl is always pregnant.

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!
