The Houston Rockets defeat the Toronto Raptors, 135-106. Cam Whitmore (career-high 25 points, 6 rebounds) and Amen Thompson (career-high 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists) led Houston while Alperen Sengun had a great performance with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 assists. Scottie Barnes led the Raptors with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists as Immanuel Quickley added 25 points and a season-high 6 3PT FGs. Houston moves to 23-25 as the Raptors move to 17-31.
Amen is an unbelievable passer. He's a shot away from being a monster. Watching Kuminga unlock his midrange in year 3 would be a good start for Amen. This has to be his real summer project. He doesn't have to be a sniper just serviceable.
Do u know how hard it can be to get a shot? Look at westbrook
@@meetdavid2024”look look at Westbrook” MVP an hall of famer🤡🤡
More athletic Lonzo
@@meetdavid2024Westbrook’s build is what kinda limited him since he already wasn’t a gifted shooter , that’s like with Desmond bane he’s a natural shooter so his build doesn’t affect him as much… amen can definitely develop a shot if he works at it and perfects his form
Sometimes his shot form is solid others not so much. If he can lock it in he will be more than alright because he has every other tool in spades.
Cam has been a revelation lately off the bench, consistently getting buckets. He’s gonna be a force in this league very soon
He needs to start next season
Pg 5 sg 7 sf 9 pf 10 c 28
Amen got that bag. He’s ELITE around the rim. And Cam is relentless. PLEASE give these men the keys with Sengun

The nba snubbed him and Cam for the rising stars games
@@maliwoodtalksyeah they got snubbed but who cares about the rising star games. It’s been great to see both of them grow and continue to earn more minutes. Rockets are so young and full of talent, we just need one of them to blossom into superstar level. My money is on amen or sengun
3:57 Cam with the showtime! 🤩 Green was visibly smiling after he flushed that absolute dime.
Also the Rockets Craig Ackerman is one of the best announcers in the business. One of the few announcers that also does a great job when talking/calling the other team and their playing. Ryan Hollins also brings a lot of joy to his color work. He seems to certainly be having some fun!

@@mateusperes6690jokic and luka most boring player unathletic all time
@@SchoolHazard ?
first we get cj and tank and nico and sting and coach demeco
now we got amen, cam, JG, alpen, jabari, Tari, Fred, Dillon brooks and coach ime
Houston, we made it
And last time I checked, the Astros were still really good 😎
All Houston sports have really embraced the suck for 3 years and draft great young players mentality. It worked great for the Astros and I’m confident it will work for the Texans and rockets
The amount of young talent with star potential on this team is insane
If they sign a veteran superstar this team is going to really take off. And if they don’t, then we will just have to wait a year or two for it to take off
Amen and Cam are keeping Jalen on his toes. These boys are ready to take ALL of his minutes. They are that good 🔥
Yea i think they will trade Jalen green in the summer. And Cam takes the SG. Vanvleet about a year or two away from Amen doing the same
Jalen isn't going anywhere. Rockets fans always try to pit these guys against one another when in reality we can keep them all and contend in the near future. Trading any of them would be dumb, especially with the new cap rules that reward teams who build organically through the draft. Sit back and root for all of them.
I didn’t say to trade him. If the return is right then I would but he’s still a decent player. But Jalen is taking minutes away from Cam and Amen though, who both look like they are better right now IMO. They need more minutes. They play better defense, seem to have a higher IQ of the game, and offensively look more mature. I’d use Jalen as the sixth man spark instead of starting five rotation. Jalen has flashes but then makes a rookie mistake or poor shot selection. He needs to sit down with a scoring vet and learn how to properly be an offensive threat. He still plays like it’s open gym way too often.
@@jus3278 They need to get rid of JG.
Maan as they should... green needs to come off the bench, or be traded but don't know who wants him though
Rockets picked 9 players in rd 1 over three straight years, and nailed 6 studs!!
PG - Amen Thompson(#4)
SG - Jalen Green(#2)
SF - Cam Whitmore(#20)
PF - Jabari Smith Jr (#3) & Tari Eason(#17)
C - Alperen Sengün (#16)
these guys are going to do some DAMAGE real soon
They played that amen to cam highlight twice bc NBA youtube knows ball 🏀
Cam falling in the draft was the best thing for the Rockets they not only got him with a steal but they got a good project in amen because if he finds any type of consistent shot midrange or 3 then the league in trouble.
Cam is becoming one of the most efficient scorers on the team
Once our young players start going off it's over fr 🤘🏿🚀 Amen & Whitmo'
Exciting days to be a Rockets fan as the future is very bright.
that in and out euro was crazy amen just needed time to get adjusted to the game
Put them in starting lineup
Keep them and Sengun together, please. They all have incredible basketball IQ as youngsters and the future is bright in Houston
Gotta keep Jabari Smith Jr too. Stretch big whose plays defense and cuts. Perfect compliment to them
Bench Jalen green
@@Shortballa11eh rn he's expendable like Jalen, BUT if he keeps improving he could be LaMarcus Aldridge or 70% of KG was and maybe 60% of what KD is
@@DJ.GenerationDefinitely not expendable. Just like Jokic needs Aaron Gordon on the defensive side, this Rockets team needs Jabari Smith JR
Cam is amazing! I believe he’ll be the Rockets best player by far in a couple years from now
Not surprised if these 2 becomes the starting backcourt next season. Please no more Holiday mins those should all go to Cam or Amen coach.
They should be, start your entire under 25 guys, go Jalen cam ameen,
Jabari, sengun. Keep Eason keep Dillon, get rid of Fred’s contract for picks or young guys. Your roster is as talented as that okc team is, they just need experience and you only get that from playing
Hopefully the nba do the right thing and put these two in the rising stars games.
Let’s Go Rockets!!!
Amen and cam will be the new Tatum and brown 2.0
Both Amen and Cam are gonna be great, rockets are in good hands
As a raptors fan yes we played terrible today but these 2 were amazing we would’ve lost even if we had played good
Imagine drafting Gradey over Cam
@@Chris-kk6cw yeah I was yelling at my tv PLEASE DRAFT CAM WHITMORE HOW IS HE STILL HERE?!😂
I still like Gradey he’s shown flashes but he’s only 20 he’ll be fine but still can’t lie whitmore was definitely the right pick
Both 2 promising players ofc, but this was some great commentary😭
Consistency and these two and this team are going to be monsters, West gonna be there’s for a minute
Both snubbed for the rising stars game
Right
Impossible by averages
I'm actually glad, it will keep them hungry and mad to want push themselves to prove why they should have been selected.
You see what keeping Cam in the G-League did for him.
Even Cam's missed dunks are electrifying. I wish you included his missed Back Dunk.
why did teams pass on Whitmore again? Lol
He had off court problems. Teams were afraid to draft because of that.
@@julianwalters4850was all a lie.
@@julianwalters4850 he didn't have any off the court issues.. these brilliant teams said they didn't like his body language during interviews...stupid.but good for the Rockets!
@@julianwalters4850 actually injury history
@@asiananglerit was a thumb injury 🤣🤣 these scouts are dumb
Whitmore is able to get any shot he wants at anytime. Watching him play, he just moves at a different speed than everyone else.
Can’t believe lakers passed on killa cam im salty it’s funny because there was a report that they want athleticism & speed at the guard/forward positions & they chose jhs
As a rockets fan, THANK YOU ROB!!
I’m mad my Magic drafted Jett Howard over him
This team has some serious young talent and a good coach wow
IF YALL DONT KNOW ABOUT CAM WHITMORE YALL ABOUT TO
Cam Whitmore has a better chance of being a lebron jordan hybrid then anyone ever has.
The passing and wingspan are not there but he’s going to be a beast forsure and has some similarities
To me, Cam is sorta like a slightly smaller Carmelo...but slightly better on defense and not nearly as prolific on offense....yet. 😎 He's basically Melo meets Jimmy Butler.
@@rocketsfan6116 Melo was not as athletic it’s something that held him back a bit on both ends his foot speed and vertical were not Cam’s level but the man had a bag and great size
@@rocketsfan6116I swear I thought this too, they game looks similar but clearly Carmelo was better but cam seems more athletic
Might be one the best new duos that terrorizes the league
WE WERE GONNA PICK CAM AT 4 BUT HE ENDED UP SLIDING DOWN TO US AT 20 😭😭😂😂
Right best of both worlds
Cam Whitmore really looks like a more athletic young Melo
If we had a star player at SGA's level, we'd a better team than Thunder. I wished Jalen Green was that guy.
Cam will be a top player itl in 2-3 years
This roster is terrifying
Killa Cam gives me heavy Donovan Spyda Mitchell vibes
Oh yeah!
Watch out for us in the playoffs
We really got a deep team I wish kpj didn’t do wat he did wait till Tari come back tho
KPJ would be the reason Cam And Amen weren’t getting minutes. Thank God he gone. Jalen Green prob getting traded next
@@Shortballa11bra they would've still got minutes ....kpj was a freaking beast I hate how nobody credits him yea he hit his girl but basketball wise the mf was a 2 way monster who had untapped potential
@@zapops2554We wanted KPJ out before the legal stuff. The legal stuff just made it convenient. He was talented bt he wasnt helpful for the team. And him playing 30 minutes a night would def take away from Amen and Whitmore. They all guards.
@@Shortballa11Yeah all the KPJ lovers ignore he had severe mental & emotional issues even before his abuse on his girl.
You can't put your franchise trust in a guy like that, I don't care how talented he is.
@@DJ.Generationyep, its likely ppl forgot Cleveland gave him away for nothing. There was a reason
Cam is starting to remind me of a more athletic Ray Allen. Cam's shot is starting to look like "The Truth" and his driving/finishing ability is also elite.
If he really wants it, he can be a League MVP.
Nah Jordan Hawkins is the only good comparison to Ray right now. Bt he still gonna be a beast
HOW TO GET A CAREER HIGH:
Step 1 - play against the Raptors
The Raptors seemingly refusing to guard the paint. God damn.
They played that amen to cam highlight twice bc NBA youtube knows ball
how do you pass on this kid Rob Pelinka?
0:11 The difference between Sengun and Jalen.. Sengun got trapped and he passed the ball. On next play, Jalen got trapped and he forced the shot still. And this is why Houstonians want to trade him. To be fair, 2:01 Jalen gave this nice dish to Amen.
Had to pray Amen to the Heavens this game, and was given a show by Thompson, blessed by a LaSlamWhitmore show. 🍾🚀🚀🚀🥷🏼🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Never understood why the lakers took Jalen over cam whit more
REPENT AND BE READY GOD BLESS
Time to.unleash these young dudes. Might be over for jalen green.
So many empty seats. Rockets aren’t that bad fans should be there
these two young fellas are gonna be a problem in the league sooner than we know it.
Yeah Hoyston definently won this draft. Killed the 23',22' and 21' draft. Advice: tell your team to get a smart GM that can actually draft prosoects. Have them be homegrown talent and build up from there. Easy. Screw all these Stars banding together on the same teams. Draft your own talent
Best plus minus ratio in history so far
Double? 🤔 3:03
Simply put, young 18-19 Ben Simmons and an even better and younger Anthony Edwards in the making.
I would say tall Rondo and young Jaylen Brown
this is a top 5 non-sense comments I have ever seen
Facts
@@AkagiRedSunamen is a freak athlete. 42 inch vertical. And can way more stronger and jumps higher. Ant is perfect
@@darnejackson1ant a way better scorer, I think Amen gonna be great but he doesn’t play much like Ant
Fred and brooks are in the way
Damn they really bout to trade Jalen Green
The Rockets needs more Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson, and less Jalen Green.
Amen and Cam were fouled on almost all of these shots. These refs were letting the Raptors get away with so much..
Jalen has a new baby though so he has a chance to have a father-son tandem in NBA in 20 years.
Cam gonna make the league pay for sleeping on him. Wish indy would have traded up for him with all the draft capital we had
It be fake rocket fans tryna get us to trade Jalen green
Can any one make a jump shot 😂
The number 7 on whitmore's jersey in the thumbnail looks photoshopped lmao
Jalen and jabari might be the odd men out tbh
Jabari is the stretch big. He fits perfect. Jalen green def getting his spit taken by Whitmore. And Amen will stay 6th man until Vanvleet slows in a season or two
Jabari? yeah some people dont know basketball
For real. Jebari is a solid rebounder and defensive player and solid shooter from 3/range. Perfect for giving Amen and Whitemore room to penetrate. He can also come in and catch an oop himself with ease. @@lachlanfry7548
Jalen is definitely the odd man out, but Jabari? Makes no sense.
Nah, just Jalen. Bari fits perfectly
And the Lakers could have drafted Cam smh… Rob Polenta hold this Fat L
Fredd got to go because of his salary
The salary is the least of y’all issues. It’s only guaranteed for 2 years and 40mil is nothing right now. There are teams with 3 guys making 40mil a year
Jalen is next to be gone
🧢
why? Stop making up bs
But he has been playing better as of late and is playing with far more confidence. He was in a pretty bad funk but seems to be out of it now putting together 6 solid games in a row.
Going to be some hard choices if he keeps it up.
Tony u sound dumb. He ain't goin nowhere
@@asiananglerbecause Cam makes him expendable.
Both of them are better than Jalen Green that’s for sure
