ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 12/29/2023

A lot of similarities between those two teams, low TO teams, high fouling teams. high rebounding teams (without Embiid probably not so much)

Major differences....the Sixers are generating the most steals in the league and they shoot better percentages inside the paint and from 3......

 

Loss

 

We can afford to have 1 starting guard shoot that way, but not both.
One has to go. I would say FVV is more a fixture to start than Jalen.

 

Reverse trap game

 

Sixers without Embiid is still a good team. Us without Brooks and Bari is probably close to being the worst offense in the NBA (we are already at #20 with both of them so lol.) We would need a good night from Sengun, FVV, and Jalen to even compete

 

Hopefully they don't feast on Jalen handling the ball.

 

Jalen green is going to have a big night and go off.

 

no jabari and no brooks and they don't have embiid and batum and we play detroit monday

 

I think we will lose to Detroit.

 

With no Jabari and no Brooks, the Rockets have no hope of being competitive so just let Jalen chuck 30 shots and see if he can boost his trade value with people who only look at raw scoring numbers and ignore efficiency.

 

I think the Rockets can win this. Our defense will get better without Jabari

 

we just gotta win the rebound battle amiright?

 

we gonna get both Tate and Tari starts?

 

Sentiment on the Philly game seems to be also reflected by Vegas. Philly takes the game, but maybe by a slim margin. It can come down to be a very close one. Maybe variance will be kind to us.

On the upcoming Det game, the coaches will/should look at is what BOS did different between their bad 1st half vs the 2nd half.

 

Yea man wtf was up with Holiday? Lol. Hopefully he got called out in the film session. I wish KMJ was still a Rocket so they'd already know how to play with Cam.

I watched the highlight film the NBA put together featuring Sengun. It's long. A lot of it shows some nice passes/allys to KMJ.

I think it was a couple games ago when Holiday threw a bounce pass to Amen on a fast break instead throwing high so he could go up and dunk it. They need to know their personell.

Silas wasn't ALL bad. He had some nice plays for Sengun and made KMJ one of the most efficient players in the league. Cam can definitely play a similar role. Amen too.

 

Yes, I’m sure there are lot of gm’s like that.

 

Unfortunately. Tate sucks and Tari leads our bench unit. We are really screwed without Brooks and Jabari.
