Man…that Orange is sick! Amazing pick up

Houston just looks so different without him right now. Can’t wait to see him back on the floor!

I know, I was so stoked to get the orange

I've unfortunately kind of stumbled into a prizm rainbow situation so now I'm looking for purple, gold, and black

The latter two might take a while

Should return for their upcoming game against Denver, and they'll need him.

In the meantime, very winnable stretch of games against tankathon squads. Never want to see an injury, but if it had to be any time of the year, Amen certainly picked the best.

Gotta keep stacking these wins while Lebron is out, they'll need the seeding to avoid the warriors

Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to see the Warriors in the 1st round...

Sweet card in person.

I would love to play the warriors. This team isn’t winning it this year, but I’d love to see the level a dislike continue to grow. The physicality would be worth the price of admission. Amen guarding Curry and Tari on Buckets.

Nothing wrong with ripping the bandaid off early. Though I'm sure it'd bit more advantageous and inspiring facing a sliding squad like Memphis or LAC first.

I just don’t think teams get better by beating inferior teams. It may feel good on the surface, but doesn’t give you a barometer for where you need to improve. However, at this point, I’m just so very happy with where they’re at. One Jalen green trade away. They also have to resign Adams, I think it’s a nonnegotiable.

Almost forgot, but I pulled this out of an OTE box a few years ago.

His true rookie card /s

Nice, I don't have any of his OTE stuff but there are some cool cards in there

kingofsnake · 04-05-2025, 03:30 PM

Finally picked up an Amen. Had to pay full freight but finished a set at last:

Nice

I still need a contenders of some kind, I was leaning towards optic because I like the chromium stock

Cavs16 · 04-06-2025, 10:06 PM

Amen strapped in Curry tonight, just an amazing game from Amen!

blackvodka · 04-06-2025, 10:20 PM

First SGA now Curry.

Been doing it all effin year. All year. I love Dyson Daniels but Amen is the best defensive player iver watched. He can guard all 5 positions given the matchup.

mrmojorisin71 · 04-13-2025, 01:38 PM

Mail day opening , pre-playoff surge (I hope lol)

One of my favorites, nod to the 90s rockets with the color scheme.

Agreed

He was the only one to show up for Game 7 anyway

I really like Amen but he has a long way to go offensively to be the "next big thing". Jump shot is very limited and has not had much added attention to him from opposing defenses.

CardClub2Elect · 05-05-2025, 10:08 AM

This play was awesome.

He's the most "likeable" player on the Rockets right now.

kipgen · 05-05-2025, 10:41 AM

The Rockets simply are not as much fun to watch when he isn't on the floor

It's like watching the Grizz with no Ja; there's just something missing

kipgen · 05-17-2025, 05:19 PM

Completed the whole peacock mosaic set

This play from Game 7 was absolutely insane and he was the only one to show up, expecting a huge leap next year
