ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hawks 10/19/2022

I pulled up1992 New York Mets strictly because of wennnayomamma. Look at the walks and strikeouts for the starters from then and compare it to any starting lineup from today. Crazy how no one is embarrassed at striking out in todays world.

Tari should have played more than Martin, Green was off tonight and too many turnovers from Sengun and Porter. Rebounding was great tonight but the passing is bad….to many selfish shots….we need to pass more. Jabari is a very confident player and he should player Center for us sometimes. You can see Sengun is better than last year but the turnovers are bad

 

we shulda have won, if jaygup got more PT
i mean it

 

It seems like the offense gets really heliocentric as if KPJ is Luka where he will have the ball for the entire possession. We need to start offense from multiple points of attack.

 

Back to back to back turnovers by Alpi, Porter then Green really killed that run they had going and Atl scored on all three of them.
Would have been a win against any other play in team or bottom feeder. Too young. Like Jgoogle said, they don't value every possession.

 

yup, Tari gonna earn that starting position, gonna punish whoever ignores his existence.

 

Looked fine to me. We just gotta make shots and take care of the ball. We got many clean looks

 

Operation matthews was a wild success for draft positioning.

 

Sengun is just a turnover machine…19% turnover rate last year while not even getting the ball that much

KPJ and Sengun in the same lineup will have the Rockets not even getting a shot up for long stretches with the way they hand the ball over to the other team

 

I didn't like the new lineup they did. That f****d them up.

 

Tari playing better than Martin in only 15 mins playing time.

 

That 3rd period Mathews stretch deflated everything

 

Silas-Lucas-Hollins-Fettah-Stone-TilmanSr-TilmanJr-Feigen-whoever involved.

 

He had 6, which is plenty, but we seemed to play better when he was in.

 

shhhhhh, it's way to early, ya spill the beans bruh

 

KPJ had a couple dumb turnovers trying to just throw it into the paint but he does look more settled and comfortable.

Kids first day of school. Jabari with a quiet 17

Give KPJ & Green one more year. Jabari just needs this season

Some loose passes really killed us at times. Thought we fought it out. Much more than we did in last years opener. Fernando as starter looked good. 28-10 fast break points just killed us. Never happy to lose, but there are positives. Smith battled on and Eason as well in their first games.

 

ya set a lower bar bruh,
blowout unacceptable for a buncha promising young kids

 

Overall pretty fun game, but I wish we got the W.

Only thing I'll say is that it was a bit frustrating watching Jabari open in the corner and not getting those looks. On the other hand, we fed him plenty--just not always in the best spots.

I think this team has some growing to do, but I can also see the serious potential.
