ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 12/17/2023

yeah, all this thread full of Sengunatics being divisive about green.
I am aware of only one Sengun fan who is very critical of green, none in this thread and tons of other posters who are very critical of green but you get obsessed about’sengunatics’. A coward who only attacks the vulnerable outsiders.

 

Dude needs to hit the gym.

 

I get it tho.. He's hasn't had the big leap we've seen Shai and Anthony Edward's had.. But he ain't dog **** either.. I just find it hilariously annoying that some of the vets on here hated him since day 1 and kept it going nonstop. posession by posession , game by game.. Somewhat disappointing from a few of em that don't mind sharing " I've been a Rockets fan since yada yada yada"

 

I think Alpi is too unselfish. He touches the ball on almost every possession but he passes up so many shots. Ime wants him to shoot and he won't. If he wants to get to that all star level he's gonna have to be more selfish.

 

Jalen gets hacked and clobbered and just doesn’t complain ..

 

He’s a kid chill… the weight will come

 

I remember when the Rockets traded for Harden and that first year with Lin, Asik, and Rockets Legend Carlos Delfino…we exceeded expectations and were a playoff team (after finishing 41-41 the previous year, mind you) and the vibes were great. There’s something about watching a young team come together that is incomparable in sports.

So why does it feel like in a season where we are LEGITIMATELY surpassing all expectations that a significant percentage of the comments are always negative? Whether it’s Green, Sengun, Daishen Nix…feels like there’s always got to be a sore spot somewhere.

I feel like in times like this we should do as Confucius said: 火箭队这赛季超出我们的欲望、咱好好看就得了

 

I'm 49 and I could teach those kids a lesson they ain't gonna forget.

 

Dillon Brooks and Fred got robbed by the refs tonight while Lopez got the special treatment. I can't stand that cocky arrogant jerk.

Fred's the propulsion, fire, & fury for our Rockets in every way! Dillon's the defender who will never get out of your face on defense. He can't be intimidated, and I love that about him. I also love that our coach will get out and defend our guys, ejection or not. Eason and Sengun had some great defensive plays as well.

No complaints here about any of our players. Lots of positives from everyone. Love our bench.
Tough loss, but a lot of good defense and hustling tonight. Their big rebounders just gave them too many second chances, and took away ours. I can't wait for the day when Jabari starts getting more fouls called his way. He got off some beautiful shots tonight.

 

This felt like a scheduled loss more than anything, it came at the beginning of a b2b with Cleveland coming up.

Tough test even without Mobley and Garland.

 

He needs Zion meal plan

 

They said "Sengun is the best matchup here"...then I looked around...and looked around...and Sengun was off the court for about 8 minutes.

 

"I hope he called him a co****cker"

 

Doesn't mean he can't eat right and work out. Thousands of athletes do it...even in High School.

 

Oh there’s a lot of conditioning. Fortunately we have a lot of hard workers

 

Green missed the obvious easy one when the opponent came running from way behind to cause an actual turnover and out-of-bounds on Jalen. That was lazy, unlike others which was challenged. Let's not paint every missed rebound as the same now okay?

I am going to single out Green because others have shown a lot of consistency in winning and at times have shown a bad output. Green has not shown the same consistency and I hope that he turns it around because he does have the potential.

 

Donovan Mitchell is a problem, and will be a tough test for our defense. But I’m hoping that our tough perimeter defenders will make it tough for him. Also I’m expecting Alpi to get Jarrett Allen in foul trouble

 

I don't want him to hit the gym hard he'll lose his shooting touch.

 

I think the Defense is elite, and when D is elite, expectations are going way up because the team will be staying in games where they have no business staying otherwise.

Simple but yeah you do not have a superstar other than Udoker right now to hang your hat on.

Alpe is closest being an All Star and a decent but not great core.
