ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 3/1/2022

Nuts!!

 

Alperen Sengun on his two-man game with Jalen Green: "We are not getting a lot of minutes to play together, but I believe we will get more minutes in the future. He knows me, I know him, and we try to make each other's job easier on the court."

 

How? Silas has a bunch of veterans playing games over 30+ mins...

 

Interior defense that makes Zubac look like Wilt.

 

Why are the Rockets so broken. I love to watch them but my goodness it is so frustrating. Maybe it’s I have some expectations and can’t see a vast difference from this game and the first week of the season. I witnessed some good things, BUT always finish the game with more questions than answers. Our coaching seem counterproductive at key times.

 

Young talents is the future.

But most of time you just watch those veterans playing trash games for a tanking season.

Nobody wanna watch this garbage. All of veterans can be cut or traded. Just play young talents!!

 

Not trading Gordon was basically borderline criminal. He’s checked out now, and we got nothing to show for it. Stone really blew that one. Christopher continues to underwhelm too. He’s just not the same. I think the grind of all these losses has finally taken a toll. It seems like they’re all just about ready for this season to be over with.

 

That shooting of 39% for a team effort so ugly I’m going to commission Madea to say how ugly it is

 

Rando thoughts:

Christian Wood is not a center, or a big for that matter.

Green is not being utilized correctly on offense. Roosh made some good points on Locked On Rockets... Rockets use him as an iso player, but that isn't his game yet. Worth a listen.

This is not a team. Very little chemistry and everyone out to get theirs.

Finally Green played in garbage time. Had a dozen or so in the 4th.

ALP needs to play more. He just contributes to winning basketball and puts up meaningful numbers when given the chance to play extended minutes.

The switching on D is letting the opponents big feast every game.

No excuses to not make size a priority in the upcoming draft and free agency.

Guards can benefit greatly from bigs who set great screens... Like Ja and Steven Adams. Enough of this half ass slip screens by Wood. Rockets guards have to use physical tools only in a PnR. No advantages from a Wood screen.

Feels like the team is apathetic, but I can't blame them.

 

This is why I want this to be the last season we lose like this. Losing so many games wears on everyone.

 

wow. another loss.

shocking

 

So close to that top seed.

Really need some help from Orlando and Detroit.

 

Matthews sucks defensively. Like really bad. Christian Wood like bad.

 

His trade value already decreased.

 

Dumb Stone gave up 23 year old all star Allen.

 

Can someone tell me what the reason for the same lineup is??! You played 3 times against the same team and you must normally see which lineup dont work against the enemies but you dont learn from the mistakes. Sorry but Silas is braindead.

 

At least they had that 7 game winning streak otherwise you know .....8-10 win range esp. if Gordon shot 32%.

 

Bolts!
