ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 11/22/2023

Dillon will be out of control and take 30 shots this game. This is a must-watch game. If Dillon made his shots, he'd do some crazy ***** toward the Grizz's bench. We could see the first WWE fight in the NBA this season.

 

What's the over/under on DB technical fouls tonight? I'm thinking he gets at least one.

 

Dillon is going to go full Draymond tonight and will be on the 1st Quarter to force the refs to deal with it.

Its going to be fun

 

It’s the game before Thanksgiving so I just wanted to share with everyone about what I’m truly thankful for. I’m thankful for Severo. He y y Grupo Fuego brought us through the valley of the NBA graveyard and I just wanted to say thanks, Severo for all you have done.

 

thinly-disguised I-care-more-about-Severo-than-Sengun comment. reported.

 

Severo was the best part of the Silas rebuild era...

 

btw

 

I hope we win and Dillon turns into FIBA Brooks and drop 40 of them.

 

Sit Sengun please, no need to have him out there when he's injured.

 

“You the same chick”: Tony Allen roasts Dillon Brooks over ‘ex girlfriend’ analogy as LeBron James humbles $86 million guard

"You the same chick, believe me," Allen said. "I just saw what LeBron just did to him too. He just gave him 39, 7 and 8. He still over there getting his a** bust. We ain't miss nothing, trust me."

Sure hope Dillion reads this and its adds even more to his swagger tonight.

 

Notes:

* Grizz last game was Sunday in only a 2pt loss 100 to 102. So at home they made it a close one. Kept the C's barely above 100. For us, this isn't too bad; since our offense are kind of meh anyways, and we rely more on DEF.

* Grizz is very injury-ridden as noted by an earlier tweet. That said, their non-injured players are well-rested.



* Rockets home cooking. If the league gives home cooking to the three Cali teams last road trip, It's only fair they, at least, call it down the middle at TC. If they let the guys play rough; be consistent across the board.

* Sengun is taking notice around the league. Grizz's match with atheltic Biyombo will be an interesting to see. Like the Jokic dilemma, is the goal to take away Al P's scoring or passing? Single coverage or double.

* Dillon and JJJ have some trash talk between each other. While we expect Dillon to be super motivated, I think some of Grizz players will be as well. In terms matchup it's technically Jabari (and maybe Jeff Green) who have to match up with JJJ. Recent Feigan article is bulletin material for them. And yes that quote has been picked up by their local media.

* Sengun and Jabari, may have to work hard on the box out and boards against their athletic front court.

* This is one of the games, where I'm also perfectly OK with Dillon getting more shot attempts. I think Ime will give him permission to go off if he's hot. Reward him for the stretch he's given us. Plus FVV and Rockets teammates likely know the meaning of his game to Dillon; so they likely all want Dillon to have a big game.


tldr: Most teams are doing well at home. As we've seen with the L.A. teams even end their slump at home. Unless you're a BOS or a MIA ( in recent stretch). NBA parity is in effect (which imo, is a good thing), lot of 'middle tier' teams, and we're one of them.

Loose prediction: 60-40 in Rockets favor.

 

This criminal Tony Allen talkin shiit? Terrence Williams too, what an idiot:


Former Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen was sentenced to community service and supervision Tuesday for his role in a scheme to defraud the NBA’s health and welfare benefits plan, according to reporter Pete Brush. Here’s what you need to know:

• Allen, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud in April, is among the 18 former NBA players accused of submitting $5 million in fraudulent medical and dental claims from 2017 to 2020, according to court documents. Allen paid back most of the $420,000 he illegally obtained before he was charged, per Brush.
• Terrence Williams, a first-round draft pick in 2009, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to forfeit more than $650,000 and pay $2.5 million in restitution last week for leading the scam, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
• Charges were also filed against Allen’s wife, Desiree; another former Celtic, Glen Davis; Shannon Brown, a two-time champion with the Lakers; Melvin Ely, who won a title with the Spurs in 2007; Sebastian Telfair, one of the most celebrated high school players in history and 12 other former players. Keyon Dooling and Alan Anderson were sentenced to 30 and 24 months in prison in connection with the case earlier this year.

 

Who even is this lol?

 

For the past 4 games, Rockets franchise player Jalen Green can put up 13.5 pts per game with ridiculous 27% shooting percentage.

 

Sure, but he's had a stellar 42.7% TS% over that span!

 

Franchise Player.

 

HOU -5.5

 

Dat guy who does not stand out. Does look like Jimmy Butler and someone else.
