Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet after Rockets NBA Cup loss to Thunder 12/14/2024

Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet talk to reporters after the Houston Rockets lost in the NBA Cup to the Oklahoma City Thunder on 12/14/2024

[YADA]

I've been saying since last year that you need to get a shooter. No one in the team can shoot open threes, that's why Sengun is constantly getting double pressure under the rim.

At first i tought it was Chat sitting left😂

[everettmoreland]

If Houston isn’t going to hit those 3’s….they need to stop shooting them

[ravenmcgee]

They have us thinking they are going to show up but let us down.Play Cam, Reed and Jack McVeigh.

[altonmatthews]

Please free Cam it’s clear y’all need a offensive dawg

[ricardoamesquitajr.]

Dude give the ball to Jalen & get out the way!!!

[Htownbj]

This game alone is proof it’s time to trade VANFLEET. That FOX trade sounding more interesting by the day. If the coaching staff didn’t learn anything by this lose I don’t know what will.

[michaelwagoner]

We desperately need somebody who can put the ball in the basket consistently. These guys we had out there tonight couldn’t have hit the floor with their shoes

[alisyed]

During the Warriors game Fred VanVleet had the ball in a Fast Break, Amen Thompson was ahead around the paint Fred VanVleet didn't pass the ball up the floor for the easy dunk for Amen 2 points.

So many times Fred VanVleet has not passed the ball to Jalen Green when he is open and shot contested 3 instead. That is bad decision making.

Fred VanVleet had only 9 Assists to Jalen Green.

Ifbadams stayed in the game we would have won 6 minutes 6 reb 4 points

[oguzhansancak]

I am proud of them. They are too young to this stage and they played semifinal against probable winner. We will hear this team' name more in the next 10 years.

Rockets have to decide on a offenseive philosophy, this was the reason why i didnt want Stone to commit money to either Sengun or Green. We dont have an offensive identity, if you want Sengun to be the number 1 guy then go get players that can fit around him, if you want run and gun type offense and space out the half court and let your athletes like amen or Jalen get down hill, then go get players to fit with that.. All this trying to mesh together this Jalen and ALP is not going to work and is only decreasing their value. We wasted a draft pick on reed Shepard who was supposed to solve our shooting problems, I wanted Clingan cause i knew his defense would help us immediately, but Stone didnt want to upset the apple card by drafting a Center. At the least we could have drafted Dalton or Dillingham

[taserienetflix]

1-11 from 3 God damn, Fred is showing no good example for Jalen as well ngl

[marcusnellums]

Y'all Rockets fans not tired of Fred bad shooting over and over, , and JGreen. In the 4th the two combine was 5 for 23 for 13 points. Cam is instant offense. Fred doesn't play like a championship type player.DAMN, 3 for 15 and 1 for 11 is Fred stat line.

Why do you always take your alperen out of the game? Udoka??? 😡😡 The team can't score baskets, why alperen when you should remove the ones who can't???? Will you always do this? I started to get really angry.

[thesnazzyowl]

gotta stop with this "just not hitting shots"mentality. If we cant hit shots why're we shooting them and why aren't we addressing the issue of us not hitting shots by hunting a 3 pt shooter

[sevthesurgeon]

SICK and tired of all these blown leads! Amen needs to start and Jalen has to get traded! Also why TF Reed Shep (our third overall pick), catching back to back DNP's especially when the team is in a shooting slump

[ahmethakanozkan]

Udoka knows better, but the team did not focus on shooting intensely before the match in Vegas...

[chimricholds]

You and Jalen went 2-19 from deep. You’re both barely over 30% on 3 pointers for the year. Eason, Thompson and whitmore should be getting all y’all’s minutes. It’s ridiculous at this point.

[O.G-SENSEI-Y.T]

Yea we gotta start hitting our shots then the sky is the limit
