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

His shooting has improved a lot this year though?

I mean he's actually one of the team's best shooter.



I mean those other guys are above him but I'll take guys shooting 40+%

He's taking 5 3s a game and hitting near 40% of them. This is not bad in any way.

 

Sengun continues to shine brightly every night.
I wish Jalen and Jabari had bigger games. Jalen contributed with his passing and rebounding. That's something he wouldn't have done last season.
I honestly didn't expect us to win against the Nuggets.

Gotta get ready for the road.

 

This is actually the main thing I worry about is he seems to be a VERY confidence based player.

There are so many open shots that Bari should just take. He does way too much pump faking and driving when all he literally has to do is trust his size and release.

With Green and Sengun and rest of these guys I agree, he could be an all-star player just knocking down threes and playing defense. I don't mind him taking midrange shots but he needs to do so on mismatches.

I think Jabari's main issue on offense is his shot selection. Passing up open 3s for a pump fake and also so many times he'll get an actual guard on him and won't know what to do with the ball.

Hopefully he fixes that.

 

Statement game!! League officially on notice!

 

Hold on a sec... When did we get CP3 again?
Some of these plays are like CP3 carbon copies, like at 0:32, 0:56...

 

Would we still have won if Jamal Murray was playing?

Hmm…

 

great points on both players!

 

Im still expecting a lot from Amen when he comes back.

 

The other twin has been putting up impressive numbers, so... yeah, me too.

 

Ime said that Jabari hit his shots (4-7)...only took 7... and had 7 rebounds in 20 minutes of play. He only had 8 pts. While certainly underwhelming, it would be interesting to ask again of folks.....what would be the definition of him having a good game ? Serious question....double digit rebounds ? A certain number of points per game ? Blocks ? What is the expectation that in your opinion make him "look good" ?

 

Just stop this Silas revisionism. He is not a good coach. He doesn't know enough basketball to be flexible enough to fit players of different skillsets. He's not a nice guy, but he is a weak guy. He will never be a head coach in the NBA again unless it's stepping in for a head coach after they get thrown out of a game. He was terrible.

 

Huge W

 

Real test coming up on road. So far 0-2. If we carry our defense on road then this team is making playoffs.

 

Depending on what people thought of him.

If he was only a high end role player .....12 and 10 is a good stat for him.

If those people think he is going to be a star he probably have to shoot for 20+ and 10.

I am not even talking Denver because that is the opponent I would give him a pass to......

I am talking Zion or anyone else who just destroys him on a physical level.

 

I would say having Nuggets at home is a bigger test than another team on the road.

 

He can still be a star in the future. Jabari can take it year by year it's only his 2nd year.

 

Eh, Silas is one of the best assistant coaches in basketball. The question is if he has the mentality to be a HEAD coach. I think he'll get his shot again.

As for him not being a nice guy not sure where that's from. Like I'm not going to hate on someone personally just because he performed poorly for my sports team. I wonder if some of yall that make these personal comments about players and stuff would keep this same energy if he were in front of you.

You could have just said he was a bad head coach without saying he's not a nice person based on what? Was he running a dog fighting arena in his spare time or something? What am I missing here?

 

Starting with the Clip joint. 6W streak against a 5L streak. It won't be easy, but it'll be an interesting game...

 

You guys. I know I’m Captain Obvious preaching to the choir here but, HOLY FFFKING SHHT we just beat the champs!

it’s been such a long time to feel this good as a Rockets fan.
