ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 12/22/2021

No kidding. He might actually defend someone.

And here he is.

 

They are just 37% from 3. They got a lot of open 3s though.

 

well its a blowout anyway, why risk and hurt himself

 

What's sad is that we don't even match up on made baskets. It takes the Bucks little effort to inbound, dribble once, make 1 or 2 passes and find an open look. They are just more committed than we are.

 

free heem

 

I mean, it's fine. 4 mins left, benches cleared, now he's in. But doesn't the FO think he could benefit from playing against rotation players? Especially when a game is practically out of reach?

 

that's a good percentage I would say on volume. But it's not just this game either, seems like the past couple blowouts were all due to a string of 3's to extend the lead to 15-20

 

This team is closer to the one that lost 15 in a row than the one that won 7 straight, Wood 0-6 on 3's yet continuously chucking contested stepback 3's is the perfect encapsulation of this game

 

I don’t get the starting lineup. We are playing Matthews at the 3 and Brooks at the 2. This lineup puts a lot of pressure on EG and Tate to dribble drive and make plays with the 3 and 2 spot being stationary spot up shooters. Not sure why Josh doesn’t start. Perhaps Silas wants him to lead that second unit. at least put Nwaba who has been playing well at the 3 especially to guard a guy like middleton. Nwaba puts pressure on both sides of the ball. Theis could’ve been used to counter cousins. I also notice the Rockets just don’t guard the 3 line well-they play too behind the line not jumping out and instead allow teams to shoot at will. Just a lazy effort today on both sides of the ball.

 

Giannis brother, someone ought to bust his hacking no talent a$$ intentionally for all that stuff he was doing earlier.

 

I will continue to trashtalk Sengun because I jinxed it and he looks much better but man we suck

 

we will regroup When January and February come we will be able to make a run. We have been essentially losing with our bench

 

because silas went away from what was working for us and thus made the game easier for them...just like he did in the first game...

see that wasn't a coincidence !

 

yay my Queen

 

Yea, you’re right. Pretty much same story in Chicago

 

Coach Bud Yelling pass the ball...LMAO...

Must be nice.

 

Lol, getting the exact right minutes - and not a second less - for everyone's favorite player is literally the engine that powers 154% of posting these days.

 

Yes, perimeter defense has not been good lately. When we make turnovers or take bad shots, that also gives rhythm to the other team i guess.

 

I have to say that I'm really impressed with Josh Christopher. Yeah, he makes mistakes, on D he overcommits to guys and gets crossed up. But he's a much better player than I thought he was, and on offense has become a serviceable three point shooter. Here I was thinking he got drafted because he was friends with Green.
