Going to enjoy all the nonexistent hot-take hate posts from the woodworks we avoided.

Brown has been all over Keegan this game. Glad Keegs has the personality to take it and hopefully grow.

2-0 in the PJ Dozier era

Score alot more lopsided than most of the game.

 

[The_Jamal]

Played like crap for 38 minutes, still win by 20. Thanks Rockets!

4th quarter beat down, my goodness

 

[The_Jamal]

Also peep the Monte developmental cats: Keon, KZ, PJ. All big long guard/wings where their best skill is defense. Dude knows where the issues are

 

[Kingz19]

Who gets DPOG? Is it Sabonis with the rebounds and verticality?

Maybe Trey Lyles.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I would not. I think they come 10 short of that.

Final count: 89 combined three-point attempts. Take your pick, fella:

The final points of the game were Keon Ellis' first NBA points.

Great night for scoreboard watching. MIN, PHX, NOP all lose

“I’m not going to coach him like a rookie, cuz he can take it”

 

[206Fan]

Only gave up 20pts in the 4th quarter. Defense + Lyles pulled us ahead in the 4th quarter

And so begins PJ and Keon's storied Kings careers.

Keegan seems like one of those rookies who just soaks in everything line a sponge

 

[Turgenev]

Rockets current brand of basketball is so ugly. They have some promising players but as a collective - no thanks.

 

[TaxMan]

The worst 20 point win I can remember but I’ll take it. Hopefully stomps them out early on Friday. Rockets are a pretty annoying team.

I know Keegan is older, extra year of college, but man is he so far ahead of where Jabari is right now in nearly every aspect. Just shows how helpful great coaching and a great environment where a rookie can just focus on developing and not have to focus on being a true centerpiece from the jump

 

[iowamcnabb]

Odd game. We didn’t have any offense outside of threes and Sabonis bully ball and defense was just ok with lapses on the glass. Really, Houston just got hot at the right time or the game would have been over much sooner. It seems like Lyles and Metu have settled into their roles for now. Lyles has been outstanding all season with the exception of a short stretch a few games ago.

It's weird being referred to as the franchise with the "right environment" for a rookie to grow.

I'm not sure Houston is a great place for Jabari. He's almost doomed to be a role guy (which he might be anyway) but Green and Sengun are going to decide where that teams goes because they are just running plays for them since they are clearly the most skilled now.

I can't believe I've been watching basketball long enough that playing two years of college basketball is now considered staying an extra year!

my Buddy is a huge rockets fan and he always talks about how they have a lot of the same type of players. Jalen is Uber talented but can’t pass or play defense and Is pretty wild on offense. Sengun is great but is limited defensively and doesn’t fit the team. Porter is who he is. They need to consolidate their talent and add a few vets next year to help transition them to competitive basketball. The pundits don’t like Silas as coach either
