ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 12/15/2021

Sengun vs Mobley is the real matchup we need to see.

 

I'm not whining, I'm telling you what Mobley fans will do. I have that RIGHT too.

 

What does Keith Jones do now-a-days? Do the Rockets even have trainers?

 

No, the Tilman fired all the trainers.

Spoiler

Sorry, you put that on a tee.

 

hes probably busy treating shooting coaches because those guys been out of rotation for a long time ...perhaps a decade now...

 

50 3PAs outta keep it close for a half...

 

Aha...Like clockwork. Here it comes. EG and his "injuries" before the deadline.

 

So who's starting with all these players out? Brooks/Mathews/KJ/Tate/Sengun?

 

Perfect opportunity to sit Wood/EG vs the Cavs in a rookie bigs battle.

Starters:
DJ
Brooks
Matthews
Tate
Sengen

Bench:
KJ
JC
Nwaba
Theis

 

Cavs have a LOT of fire power.

Without EGo/Wood, where will the scoring come from?

Both are capable of putting up 30 any game.

But more importantly, without Wood, the entire team will have to rebound.

Rebounding has been an issue and Cavs are a big team.

 

Sengun was a professional before Rockets drafted him.

Same with Garuba.

Rather see Sengun-Garuba before Sengun-Theis.

 

What a coward running from Sengun like that.

 

With Gordo out, you will get your wish.

 

JA is the 5, so he would have defended Sengun anyway.

Mobley would have been on Tate.

 

Unless we sign T-Mac in his prime, bring Harden back... this is what we have vs the Cavs. The offensive fire power will come in the form of forcing turnovers and getting easy hoops. Second unit can work them.

 

Sengün now vs Sengün in prime would sell the most tickets.

 

Play Sengüün and not Theis.

 

Agree.

Rockets have to force more turnovers than Cavs.

Defense>Offense

And knockdown their 3's.

 

Cleveland has a really good frontline now, but that's nothing compared to where it's headed. Scary. They play as a team too. We're obviously extremely short handed.
And, as much as I'm ready to deal CW for a good package, this is one game where we'll really miss him. Sengun is amazing..He and Mobley should have some legendary wars before it's all over. But, this is a task of semi epic proportions.
Seriously, it should be brutal sledding trying to get anything inside, and I don't think we can stop them.

It speaks volumes that Cleveland is opening at - 8 1/2.

They are 8-2 in their last ten with a four game winning streak...Fourth in the East...only three games behind the Nets

All that said,

THE STAGE IS SET, ALPEREN!
