ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 12/26/2023

How many more games until Jalen is not a starter? He played 19 mins tonight, and his minutes are getting less and less.
I still rather Eason comes off the bench as an energy guy.

 

Amen needs to become good really quick, FVV gotta go in 2 years.

 

Oh man,I almost cry.LOL

 

At his current role you might as well have him benched.

 

Sure sounds like people around the organisation are starting to realise we've got a Ben Simmons-level mentality here with Jalen.

 

He will

Sengun was the star of this team from day 1, from the draft day. The thing is it took 2 years to fans and front office to understand that their Batman is Sengun, Robin? Jabari maybe, but not Jalen.
l really like Sengun and Jabari tandem, they are 2023's Hakeem and Drexler combo.But they need quality shooters around them.
With help from guards and consistent 3 pt shooting, our team is a play off team in West, can be between 2-6 places..

 

Momster is a good high school basketball mom but not a professional......

 

I love Alperen but he is not going against Shaq or Prime Dikembe, he was going against Myles Turner, Jalen Smith, Jonas and Clint Capela.

The league is not what it used to be for big men, I mean they still give out GOAT places but it is really inflated due to not having so many great players around......(going against Top 200-300 All time Centers)

Like when they bumped up Kobe to 7th or 8th spot (5 spots) just because to remember his bball life.

 

Ben Simmons was afraid to shoot the ball. I bet you green isn't going to be shy.
Come on man he is upset bc he is being phased out so he is weak mentally. If he didn't care then it would be that he is aloof. Basically no matter how hw reacts he is going to get hate

 

Dang....Memphis is surging up the ranks, coming for the Rockets.

 

Hakeem didn't go up against Shaq, Dike, Ewing, and Robinson every night either, most of the league was made up of mediocre players, we simply chose to remember the greats.

 

All-in-all not the worst feeling in the world.
We lost Dillon, Jalen is MIA, Bari and Fred not having their A-game and we were still competitive.
Let’s stay positive.

 

The question is how you handle adversity: do you grow and man-up or do you wilt like Simmons. It’s to be seen with this kid.

With Simmons, some were questing his personality even from his LSU days, like Givony for example. His rookie year he came out the gates like a total beast, so the critics seemed to be wrong… Ultimately, however, he proved to be the vagina that some suspected him.

I am in the camp who thinks that personality can change in a person’s 20s and that adversity is needed for one’s manhood to develop. So we just need to see what happens here. It’s a critical time for this kid.

 

It is the best known pasta company in Turkey which has the highest customer loyalty.
It was "Ankara Makarna" at the beginning. They changed the name to "Nuh'un Ankara Makarnasi" to pay respect to main founder: Nuh (Noah) Eskiyapan.
The group also produces Portland type cement, concrete, energy,.. and is much more powerful than a tiny pasta producer. The head of "Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges" is Nuh's grandson who is considered the face of Non-Governmental trade.

Enjoy your pasta

 

You can't win in this league if you are not shooting at least .32-33 from 3pt line on mid, high volume. Get this team a reliable sg man.

 

KAT and AD are perimeter based.

The only one is Embiid and Giannis plays PF.

Rodman and Robinson who was an MVP were not bad.

That would be Embiid playing with Ben Wallace today.

You clog up the paint in the 90s a lot more so he has to shoot tons of Dirks abd get double teamed.

 

It's tough to beat a team who is so hot at the 3's that they score 57 PTS from behind the arc. Haliburton hit 2 more 3's than our entire team. 4 of our "5" made 3's came from our bench players. That might be a Rockets franchise low.

 

Holiday is much more aggressive on defense too.

 

One man can't do everything. Sengun needs immediate help at the 5. Jock is of no use. Uncle Jeff is not a center.
