ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Heat 2/10/2023

I'm surprised these mfers somehow managed to win 13 whole games... 3 yrs going strong being the doormat of the league, this **** is becoming etched into their DNA

 

Games are not lost by 1 play or 1 player. Common sense says hi

 

No kidding. They're cutting people and sitting people. It's a 4-team race, but those Spurs are about to start scoring for the other team in these games.

 

missed the game

checked the play-by-play, and looks like we lost on a last second dunk



this whiskey sour is HITTIN tho

 

Yea I know but it makes no sense here. There is .7 seconds left on the clock. I just dont agree with the decision in this particular context.

 

This is not on Green. This is on Silas. How do you not draw up defending the lob with .7 seconds left? He also had better defensive players sitting on the bench as well.

 

Lol

 

bro he had Jimmy in a vice grip forget about his shooting he was probably tired. The defense is nails.

 

Lol Nix loses his man

 

Missed most of the game on a flight. Looks like we gave a good effort.

 

thats not on nix. He would have to be usain bolt to get in front of jim

Just a clean play by the best coach in the nba

 

Yeah, Jalen could have defended that better but it would have been amazing defense for him to pick that up.

Nix can't do anything in there. Even if he was guarding Butler he's too small to do anything. He just had 0 reason to be in the game at this time. 0 reason.

 

Imagine blaming Silas for EG being dumb enough to foul Fox and Tate for fouling Butler - Bari was setup for the block - hell the 3 by Herro was on Tate also… he should of closed him

 

Why Silas did not have a point guard in the last two minutes…Nix does not count. TyTy needs to play more…

 

Holy **** can we waive Nix today what the fk, he literally guarded nobody that entire play

 

That kjm, nix mix-up on the first screen is the summary of whole season. KJM, Nix, Green, EG, KPJ all can get lost, make a mistake on a simple screen. That's why our perimeter defense sucks.

 

That's hindsight talking. They could have just as easily run a play for Herro.
The immutable fact is the Rockets are a poor defensive team right now (as young teams often are) and it will continue to bite them in the ass until they get better.

 

You can't blame other teams if you tank 3 consecutive years.

 

Dude is incapable of stepping down out of his own volition.

 

Tate just stood there after Jimmy scored as if to say "someone should have been on Jimmy"............

Instead he goes to defend a 35 foot attempt that doesn't need defending if it was the last shot
