@jtgatlin.bsky.social , good pod today man, but Sengun wasn't used very different last night vs night one.

He had 13 potential assists in game 2, and 11 in game 1. The biggest difference is guys he was passing to (primarily Jalen) were hitting their shots off those passes much better.

Fellow #Rockets fans, if you're ever jonesing for some Tari Eason chaos, but the Rockets just aren't playing that day, take a look and see if the Nets are -- because Ziaire Williams is bringing some pretty sweet chaos out East right now, and it is just about good enough to hold you over for a while.

First half of #Rockets vs Blazers thoughts:

- Rockets always look ugly without Fred. Him only playing 7 minutes (fouls) definitely hurt.

- Sengun struggled with Clingan in the paint, but once they started running the offense through him on the perimeter, the passes, points, and free throws came

Nickname idea for #Rockets 's key contributor and general menace, Tari Eason:

Cookie Monster

because when he sees ball handlers, he says

If the #Rockets could simply be an average shooting team, they would be a top 4 team in the league.

They're good right now, despite being a bottom of the barrel shooting team - that's how good the defense, rebounding, paint touching, turnover game, etc are.

We may need to make a trade in season

I like Jabari Smith, but the trade talks on him aren't about his slow start, his long term fit, or him as a player - it is about the fact Tari Eason has long earned the starting spot from him, and how trading him might be the best way of preserving the value he currently has vs benching him
