ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 10/10/2019 (Preseason)

This is what I came in here for. Hobbled off after a harmless drive & dish... looked pissed heading to the locker room.

 

I know its just preseason but House had a quiet and nice all around game
no doubt he didn't shoot the ball well coming from injury and we know he's an above average shooter
but he had 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, a steal, no TOs and +15
if he keeps this up MDA might give him a chance to start at the 3

 

most of those 3s he took were wide open

 

I’m going to need ALL of them to be wide open with no other option. That is how bad of a shooter he is. His chucking can truly hurt a team.

 

Much better than him shooting mid-range...

Quite the contrary actually. Wrote about it this summer. Westbrook in his best year from midrange scored 0.796 points per possession. Westbrook's career average on three-pointers is 0.924 points per possession. If he's going to take shots, you'd rather they be 3s.

Overall his TS% will be the highest it has ever been, which is a huge plus.

 

Didn't get a chance to watch the game, so was reading the thread posts and figured we got blown out...then I checked the box score...

I understand being "in the moment" on a philosophical level, but geezy creezy some of you guys need to lighten up.

This is why I usually stay away from these game threads.

 

I like reading the back end of the game thread for game recaps and perspectives, but man, I couldn't be in here DURING the game.

 

I saw the box score and was pleasantly surprised to see we matched the Raptors in rebounding at 52 a-piece. PJ was a beast on the boards.

 

This will not work, I don't care who disagrees with it. Russell waiting in the corner, just like everybody else, is just as much a disaster if not worse when it was CP3 since he's a worse shooter.

 

Ok I agree. Was the 3s he missed bad ones. Couldnt watch the game. But that's what I'm baking in that the 3s will be in flow. If they arent then I agree

 

Exactly I want him to take the same shoots Giannis would have to shot when they leave him open. N I know he a better shooter then Giannis. If he can do it russell can too. U have to be able to shot the 3 in the nba to win at a high level

 

any update on Gerald's injury?

 

Chris Clemons has a pretty slow release. I had not noticed that until now.

 

Christina isn't bashful.

 

Clemons getting some pretty good playing time with the main rotation guys.

 

He's a cheerleader, not a coach.
