ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 3/20/2022

Depends on how many televisions you own. You may be down one by the end of the third.

 

I only have 1 so I’m gonna pass then

 

Well, when you are tanking. That is fine and you can allow growth. Stone seems like a smart guy. We know the Rockets are extremely data driven.

You would think they would have Christian Wood box out, or stop trying to lead fast breaks. They have that information.

What if they had that information and decided it was best for the Rockets current future that they not work on those warts.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. Worst record in the league guarantees a top 4 pick in the draft?

 

That's not on Silas. That's on the other coaches who prepare the film sessions and do the individual workouts with the players.

 

Cooking dinner while listening to rockets spaces and also watching the NCAA tourney is CF multitasking at it's finest

 

Even though we got destroyed in the second half, the game had a lot of great highlights including 2 combo meals of ALP dunks and mean-mugs, while down double digits. Also a Green Alley and KJM highlight. Watch the recap highlights.

 

Top 5

 

Memphis just bullying the Rockets

Next season Wall is going to look like the second coming because his skill set and talents are everything we long for. Wall has a high BB IQ, too. If Silas is still here, look for a system change. Wall’s contract will start to work for us because he is not going anywhere anyway. The FRP’s placed with Wood / Tate / Porter maybe even Gordon should yield something of value, too. We will start to piece a team together next season vs the sum of players we have now. Silas will start coaching or the next person will (Sam Cassell / Bill Laimbeer) don’t think Silas sees the end of next season as the head coach —> administration duties because he is already on the payroll.

Green / Wall / Sengun are the core & Hopefully this years pick breaks into the inner circle, too.

Exciting times / Go Rockets

 

I'm not sure if this is a stretch, but part of me feels that KPJ's demeanor on the court and attitude is having an impact on Green. What I've seen from Green as of late, even in his good games, is some bad body language when he misses gimmes. Green is an uber confident player, but now he sulks on misses, especially when they're close to the basket. Sulking has always been KPJ's thing, and now it's rubbing off.

 

Having E-Go around as the token vet isn't enough to change the locker room culture either.

Draymond's words here hit too close to home.

 

Silas thinks he is Rockets Pop, Wood is his Tim Duncan， KPJ is his Parker. What a joke.

 

Silas is shiit at developing young talents.

Rookies need games to grow, not ****ing Wood.

 

The problem with the Rockets appears to be consistency.

They doing ok - looking op at points
Then 4 minutes of wtf?

Top 5.

 

KPJ playing like hot trash but still treated like superstar is disgusting.

He can’t play as PG for his low basketball IQ.
Why we still allow him to block the development of Green and Sengun?

 

This is a legitimate issue that I raised in the past as well.

You have impressionable young rookies on this team that see the supposed two best players on this team (KPJ and Wood) play selfishly, they're not learning the right habits.

It's tougher for Green who has to navigate through Wood and KPJ, a ridiculously tough task for a 20 year old to do. What exactly is he supposed to do if Wood dribbles up the ball and doesn't pass in transition, or KPJ gives up mid-way?
