I was curious which of our young guys would step up. I expected a big game from Reed, the way he's been playing. It also seemed like a big chance for Sengun, who struggled in the previous game.

But it was all Amen. Good for him!
Amen's best game of the season, KD out, we really needed him and he delivered.

So we're just not going to see Reed in the second half, basically? Gotta give him some run imo.

This looks like the Amen Thompson we've been missing.

Rockets fans, remember when Jabari Smith Jr. was a frustrating 30% from 3 on five shots a game his rookie year? Don't look now, but he's at 38.5% this year, still shooting five a game.

Our guy is up 3% from last year as well - and he's shown the same gradual growth from 2 also.

Man, these Alpi free throws this year have been big.

The Aaron Holiday game!

Seeing myself in the back of these Rockets highlight clips is sick (white jersey, black hat, far left).

Reed Sheppard with 7 in the 1st quarter, 3 boards, 2 steals, 1/4 from 3.

Can't wait for the Rockets to offer Cam and a Pheonix pick for Booker in two years, lol.

I still am predicting OKC in 4.

Okay trade Jalen Green to LA.
*Pelicans trade AD to LA

NBA fans: Why would they make such a bad trade?

*Pelicans win the following draft lottery

*Mavericks trade Luka to LA

NBA fans: Why would they make such a bad trade?

*Dallas wins the following draft lottery

Anyone else have questions?

The Rockets are back, and the timing couldn't have been better. #Rockets #nba

Huge win for the #Rockets. Great game by Sengun, especially since we've seen him struggle against some undersized strong Defenders like what the Warriors have. #NBAcup

What would the Rockets be without Fred VanVleet? And is extending him becoming more likely for the Houston Rockets? #nba #houstonrockets
Awesome win! Concerning that we still have to rely on Fred for so much scoring.

Spending Thanksgiving in Minneapolis, got to see the Rockets beat the Timberwolves in overtime.
