ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 11/21/2018

you are dumb if you think hes not fun around the table just because you disagree with his opinion....

ps if he wanted to be fun to be around he would have dedicated to that goal from his early days and he would have achieved that goal by now

 

No stats to back this up not to mention defense not taken into account

 

We were stomping them until Curry’s ghost snuck up Blake’s butt at the end.

Although I am surprised you went this route rather than singling out Clint’s solid game and saying fools gold were here to beat the warriors not the pistons.

 

This post should have way more likes.

 

He is looking good, but I still don't like the "patch."

 

He could dye this whole thing gold.......

 

perhaps this would help cp3 to better hit him with the lob?
is this thinly disguised cp3 is declined comment?

 

ahahaha!

 

Holic, we’ve noticed that Clint has improved, yet again, like every other season before this.

Do you have any commentary on his absolutely astounding approval over his career? We’re really having problems understanding how he’s getting better as fast as he is, especially since the vocal minority here are detractors from his success.

Did your model predict what an incredible center he’d become? I’d love to see your proprietary stats.

 

Anyone else notice just how trash blake was until the 4th quarter??? He was getting bullied and duped on all of his one on one back-ins.

Until the 4th quarter when he was like "eff this, I'm going to shoot 3s". Harden still is pretty braindead on some of those first switches so blake got hot and started hitting stepbacks ... But I guess it's nothing new. Harden's post d is good and his perimeter d bad.

Overall good game from the guys. I'm sold on ennis being a solid 3pt shooter now. I can live with CP having great fist halves and cooling down in the second as opposed to cold in both. It kept us afloat when they were trying to build a lead. Harden's offense has also been great/smart on our win streaks. He still consistently draws so much attention and getting to the line.

 

No stats to back it up? You drunk?

Lowest PPG of his career on 32% shooting, 24% from 3 point range.

And his defense? LMAO. His current DRtg is 116, also the worst of his career. His steals are also down this year from last year.

What are you talking about?

 

Yes, Clint is solid and still improving, in my opinion. I've been trying to figure out myself why he got that gold "patch." There can be only one solid explanation, solid. Capela wants to insure that people will know who he is when he's on the court.

 

I was talking about the one good game every 5-6 games, that's not true if you are talking about his time here, if you mean this season it's a dif story obviously.

Yea I'm well aware he's in a shooting slump, he's a career 37% 3 pt shooter he'll be fine.

Neither DRtg nor steals are accurate stats to account for defense, in fact advanced stats for defense are just bad in general. So yes his defense has been adequate

Check his net rating he's been a positive on the court more often than not. I believe it was a 9.0 net rating.

 

It's very simple to watch the games and see that Eric Gordon has had 2-3 good games this season and the rest have been thoroughly mediocre, and many times even bad. Not a hard thing to see.

Obviously he was better last year, but his consistency was still woefully bad.

 

if we are taking about offense yea I agree

 

Happy Thanksgiving. It's been a good day.

 

Clint had a great game against one of the worst defensive 5's in the Association. Capela is a better player than Drummond. Drummond just does not impact wins. He can't defend quickness on the perimeter or coming at him in PnR. Great game by Capela. I'm not surprised by it.

 

What are his improvements this season over last season?
