ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/12/2023

next 4 days is going to be all positive Rockets and Texans media.. we eating good.

 

But he also said he wouldn’t sign brooks for the minimum

 

Jabari sat on the bench because Green was playing much better.

Either two things happens.

1.) Jabari pouts and whines about it and as such trade him for what you can and let him be some other teams issue.
or
2.) Jabari bucks up, sees why Green is playing those closing minutes over him the past 2 games, learn from Green, and gets better.

I personally think its 2. Jabari is the highly motivated type hardworker type. He knows why Green finished these last two games.

As for Amen and Cam like...breh. Amen has played like 3 games. The reason he's not playing is because he's hurt.

Whitmore is like 19.

Ime got this.

Either Bari, Amen, and Cam will contribute and get close to their potential OR they just never were going to make it either way.

Put it like this. How many good players does an organization like the Spurs or Heat let go? Not many right? Know why? Because their coaches know what they are doing and if you fail for one of those coaches it usually means you don't have much going on as a player any ways.

I think all three of those guys will be fine. They are all 19-20 years old. Give them time.

 

yeah when Harden was here, KOC was all in on the Rockets defending us often. But KOC, like all of us, were embarrassed time and time again by harden. He did throw some shade our way in those Silas years, but I dont blame him.

 

Oh well.

 

Ahem

 

I was only responding to the guy that said Silas did not develop players.

I think it was giving players too much leeway, I am sure he intended to develop players, it was just a misguided way to do so without accountability.

That was all.

 

In a myriad of offseason and in season moves, Jeff green has low key been big key.

 

Jabari struggles against big frontcourts. Pels and DEN were too big and strong for him. It will be interesting to see how he fares against Clips and GSW on the road trip, teams without that much size...

 

I think Silas knows his basketball I just not sure he has the personality for it. Seems like a nice guy. Seems like he would probably do better if he were coaching a team with a strong leader already like a Lebron or something.

I think the situation he was in is probably the worst situation for a player friendly nice guy coach to have.

I think he'll get another shot at coaching a team at least.

 

I think one of the biggest disappointments while being one of the biggest positive surprises is Jalen Green being a better defender than Jabari. That's a good or bad thing depending on perspective.

 

He really just needs to bulk up.

Honestly if he just works on his strength he'd help out a lot more as he's actually good at competing for rebounds and if he's stronger he could at least be a 10+ rebound guy when nothing else is going for him.

Yeah he does struggle with size.

 

Too soon to be wrecking the good vibes.

 

That is what I am figuring out, people like him, that has to do with his family but also he has knowledge about the game.

Maybe he is good at telling NBA stories or introducing NBA life to the players.

Because he is not a winner per se.......he can only teach some basics.

At the end of the day he cannot win on the highest level of basketball, that is what got him fired too.

I mean Steve Clifford is winning more games than he did.....and I am no fan of Steve Clifford who I think was also an assistant for life.

 

DoD that's not how that works.. we reap the rewards after wins. Houston fans deserve it.

 

He is only 21 and spent his life being bigger, taller and talented than his opponents. Just like with Jalen he will take some time but I'm sure he'll figure it out. Already seen massive improvement for his rookie year 10 games in.

 

Final 4:50

 

Maybe some people are just really good as assistant coaches. He is good for moral support but may not be good being the head coach.

 

Ime the savior
