Ime Udoka in the postgame press conference said they tried to get Jalen Green downhill more against the Sixers so he wouldnβt be as reliant on his jumpshot.
This needs to be the emphasis for him going forward.

My bad! Brian Windhorst*** π
ESPNβs Adam Windhorst confirmed #Rockets players βTari Eason and Amen Thompson are untouchableβ¦. It would have to be one heck of a return to get the Rockets to consider trading either of those guys.β
This court and the dunkstronaut should be permanent fixtures.
Hell yeah, I'm hyped for this. They gotta play "U Got 2 Know" by Cappella during every break in action. Lets go full Clutch City
Clutch City vibes all over again.
Lovin' this, #Rockets
