ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 2/3/2023

Bro, Rockets so bad, I hate sports. I looked at the NBA standings the other day and was like, "wtf is happening?"

 

Gordon was in showcase mode tonight.

Unfortunately, the Rockets are trying to attach Nix in any trades. The other GM's asked if we could showcase him tonight, too.

 

Because he is SO effective offensively outside the key - you know - where Silas has him spending all his time on offense.

Legitimately just shake my head at how he's utilised.

Another player Silas has no idea what to do with.

 

I agree ! We need a point guard like him

 

so were gonna give 33 mins to Nix... and our actual frp guards 19 & 2 mins... jus lunacy,,,,

 

It’s obvious that there is some trade in the works and we want to include Daishen. The other team wanted to get a good look at him, so we ran him out there all night.

Trade Nixed.

 

I’d love FVV on a max deal if nobody better is available, would take Gary Trent Jr if we lose Martin and man I’d take any of those long role players.

 

this is why tanking never works...its not the lack of the talent...talent is rotting on this club...more talent infusion will not help

 

and this is just his floor!

 

Silas said Nix play better defense than JC.?lol

 

Kyrie news overshadowed any other showcase of a combo guard.

 

look at him he is the true professional!

 

He can't even shoot a competent 3 yet. Literally everyone knows he's going to the rack and they can't stop him from doing it because when you overplay a side he starts hitting you with spins and shakes. When you don't he just barrels forward and yams it.

Dude is so good getting the first pick/Wembanyama is kind of a problem.

 

so the eye test is CONFIRMED

SILAS IS AN ALL-TIME GREAT!!

 

Man watching the highlights involving sengun. u could tell the raptors think really highly of him, man was getting double team, triple team hell even quadruple team it feels like.

20 years old but can draw in so much defenders, he wasn't even having the greatest of games.

 

While I am a big advocate for patience with the kids and Silas, it may be time to ixnay the nixplay.

 

He is just great at the novelty that is Coach challenge.

 

That’s Nick Nurses strategy. He always had his players double/triple team Jalen and even the random full court press in the middle of the game. It’s why Jalen has his worst performances against the Raptors. I knew he was as going to do the same to Sengun before the game even started. What’s infuriating is Silas has never adapted to it.

 

I doubt anyone has an interest in Nix...
Perhaps we are trying to build some interest...
but Playing Nix will not increase his value...
lol!
and we arent 'hiding anybody' from a potential trade... i have to believe folks would want an unknown commodity other Nix... lol
