I find myself both: 1. High on Anthony Edwards 2. Lower on Edwards versus consensus. The chatter these past 24 hours (and broadly, for Ant’s career) feels a touch hyperbolic.
Alperen Sengun is a finalist for 2023-24 Kia NBA Most Improved Player award.
Agreed. Also not for nothing but stability is good actually

I advocated for Rafael Stone to receive a modest contract extension back in February. Stone obviously hasn’t been perfect, but he’s done an admirable job with the crappy hand he was dealt in 2020. rednationhoops.com/p/a-4-year-rep…

From @TheSteinLine’ latest newsletter: “The Houston Rockets' strong play in the season's second half has likewise generated an expectation in some league corners that an extension is forthcoming for general manager Rafael Stone.” marcstein.substack.com/p/latest-from-…
I agree with the premise that Jalen Green hasn’t made a “leap”, but it would be foolish to use these numbers to suggest that he’s the same player. He’s improved in a few notable areas: 1. He’s a much better rebounder. It was kind of inexcusable for him to be as bad at rebounding…

🗣️NEW POD 📋 Have the Houston Rockets Arrived? w/ @SalmanAliNBA Recent surge (3:17) Amen (6:02) Jalen (18:02) Sengun (24:18) Jabari (30:13) Cam (42:49) Defense (49:52) Offseason (53:03) 🍎 apple.co/3U7wpXW ✳️ spoti.fi/49nw8Ej 📺 youtu.be/xwUNPcg-k00 MORE⬇️
They went for the quick 2…
As many strides as Jalen Green has made this year, one area he still hasn’t shown enough improvement in is ball handling. It’s still just way too easy for some of these defenders to pickpocket him.
The greatest change since Sengun went down is not spacing or usage. It’s Houston’s speed. If you want to argue that Green is benefiting from faster pace of play, I’m amenable to that. The logic tracks. The spacing stuff is just so reductive and more importantly, wrong.
It’s just lazy analysis, guys. If these are your takes, just admit you stopped paying attention to the Rockets two months ago during their losing spell.
It’s just lazy analysis, guys. If these are your takes, just admit you stopped paying attention to the Rockets two months ago during their losing spell.
People who attribute Jalen’s success to “increased usage and spacing” due to Sengun’s absence just haven’t been watching the Rockets. 1. Green’s had a near-identical usage rate to Sengun all season long. Role and opportunity haven’t been an issue. 2. Houston was already playing…
1. Jalen Green’s been awesome. He was already showing signs of growth this season as a defender, passer, and contact drawer, but now he’s combining it with absurd shot-making. 2. Folks need to stop framing this as a “since Alperen Sengun went down” run. Green had his first…

Jock Landale will start in place of Jabari Smith for the Rockets tonight.
Kris Dunn has been suspended two games without pay for initiating the altercation last game with Jabari Smith. Smith has also been suspended one game.

@SalmanAliNBA He's incredibly fun and that's all I have to say
Agreed. Also not for nothing but stability is good actually
I advocated for Rafael Stone to receive a modest contract extension back in February. Stone obviously hasn’t been perfect, but he’s done an admirable job with the crappy hand he was dealt in 2020. rednationhoops.com/p/a-4-year-rep…
@SalmanAliNBA I'm devastated. Was recording the game and was going to watch it tonight, but I don't think I can.
When I didn’t have the capacity to open my heart to anyone, you somehow found your way in. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know. Love you Maggie and I’ll see you soon. 💔
@SalmanAliNBA I’m curious to see what players are moved for as the deadline approaches.. that will let me know if this is good value or not.. I also from a on court standpoint didn’t have Adams as a priority type for this team.
Always a dope feeling picking up the New York Times and seeing my name in it 🙏🏾🙏🏾

@SalmanAliNBA fair! I guess the real trick is "2 out of those 3," and yeah, not an easy lift...

@SalmanAliNBA @RedNationHoops @DUNOTS great pod again Salman, thanks!
@SalmanAliNBA we are here salman i mean we've already been here, but we really out here
@SalmanAliNBA Yes he is essentially the same player from when you made that tweet which is disappointing.. if what he is going through doesn’t motivate him to improve this off-season then nothing will
