If you had to pick 2 out of
Bari
Tari
Jalen
Sengun
To actually perform well who you rolling with
That's a tough one as they all flip flop but I'd have to go with Jalen and Sengun right now. I think Bari and Tari have a a game where they go off but be meh next game

Time to go!!
Jabari and Tari are more fearless. They don’t run to the corner or have their heads down. They stay in attack mode.
Sengun and Jalen are more talented but they can be mentally takened out of game. We saw it against La
True but I still think they can be colder than hot compared to the earlier. Let's hope they all can come up big

I give Jabari a lot of grief but him in this sixth man role is really impressive . I think he’s going to be the surprise player of the playoffs for us.

What's the deal with Van Vleet? Because when I look at his stats, they don't look great. I went online to see what people were saying about giving him an extension? Some people were saying this team would be lost without Van Vleet as far as running the offense.
It's true.

Loved seeing them smoke OKC like that. Wasn’t expecting that double big lineup to be so effective, they beat OKC up badly with that. Chet basically had to live on the perimeter cause body wise he’s not close to Sengun and Adams. Jalen came up really big, what an alley oooop dunk that was 
FVV only shooting 9 times 
Amen Thompson is such a freakish athletic. Athletically he seems to be a cross between Wade and Paul George, just the way he dribbles and slides through the lane. We really have an ascending star there.

Loved seeing Curry in prison and Draymond doing all of that yelling but all the Rockets players not giving one shyt about it. The refs were pretty shameless as Draymond would be doing all that yelling and gesturing and not really wanting to call anything on him. Liked that they shot 30 3s and made 10 in comparison to GSW going 16/43, meaning they weren’t just chucking 3s, but were hitting timely one. Jalen and Brooks kept putting Curry in a blender which was nuts to see. He was picking up quarters and nickels all night. These guys are really gaining confidence and this is the perfect time to do it.

While exiting to the locker room at halftime, Curry appeared to be voicing his displeasure to officials about the way he was being defended. Udoka crossed paths with the conversation and lobbed a jab toward Curry, leading to a terse back-and-forth. Udoka, true to form, wanted all the smoke after all.
“When people start complaining about foul calls or crying about physicality, you’ve done your job,” Udoka told The Athletic when asked about the exchange with Curry. “That’s the first step in winning the battle. So I told my team, when this team starts crying about it, up the intensity, up the aggressiveness, and make the refs adjust to you.”

Houston's game plan was heavily geared toward making Curry's evening miserable. He missed 9 of his 10 shots and scored only three points.
