The Official NBA Season Thread: RIP Kobe 🐍

[B Sox]

Amen is another amazing role player.

Rockets being in the playoffs is great experience for all their young guys.

Teams gonna leave him wide open all playoffs though. 7 game series changes things when you cant shoot at all.

They’re built to be a good regular season team with their youth and depth. And Ime is great at keeping the team engaged throughout the regular season. Definitely don’t love their chances of winning a series come playoff time. Whole different game.

If you told me they acquired an engaged version of Jimmy Butler (if that exists), I’d think differently of them.

Jabari isn't getting back his spot.

Amen Thompson is probably the most athletic player in the NBA. I love his game he can do everything. He can pass, he can drive and finish, he can play the dunker spot. Blocks, and steals. I honestly believe he can flirt with being a top 10 player one day. Especially as the old guys age out the league

Cavs are fools gold. They aren’t doing anything come playoff time

If Amen adds the 3ball,he’s a star

We've entered the Amen era

 

[WASHED KING]

Trade Jabari + Cam.

Win now

Jabari isn't getting back his spot.

Brooks minutes should be his (or Tari or Cam for that matter), but I know Ime gonna be too stubborn to mess with it.

 

[pdino]

I mean he still sucks at shooting and is good at the other stuff (like I said). Not sure why you even chose to quote me then

And Green is averaging MORE minutes this year. He wasn’t the one standing in Amen’s way. Which was my entire point. They complement each other.

Amen is flexible and plays SG, SF,PF. When Green didn’t play last year, Amen started for him. Same would happen this year, but he filled in for Jabari instead. Quoted you because you were going to bat for Jalen Green over Amen

Amen was buried on the bench last year but did well when given any opportunity. He’s finally been given a chance this year to start and flourish.

I would choose to give opportunity to develop Amen over Jalen Green, and we can differ on that

If addict4sneakers doesnt like a player he will probably be good

Amen is like an Aaron Gordon x Iguodala mashup. The athleticism, physicality, instincts is a crazy combo.

Cam and Jabari def the odd men out.

There will be a learning curve for amen in the playoffs but I’m sure he will still produce. He’s not Ben Simmons.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Roger Goodell wouldn’t let this rock

Yea because he is a "commissioner" with a spine.

Yea that was a very thoughtful answer.

How are yall feeling in general? Peep Game HOU$TON

Pulling for yall. Mostly because of Ime and Cam but still would like to see yall succeed.

It’s crazy that their jig is gonna be up soon. They’re becoming too outta touch. They clearly only watch a couple highlights before the cameras cut on.

Just enjoying the season. My expectation coming in was make the post season. Now I think there’s a good chance the rockets will be able to get their first playoff series win since 2020.

I wonder if a factor is because the passes that come from the paint are offensive rebound kick outs (usually wide open 3s)

 

[lovehateself]

Jokic been the peoples champ since 22-23

In general the drives are sinking defenses in and the kick outs allow for wide open 3s.
