ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 1/17/2024

true but 5 TOs and 0-5 on 3 pointers, and defense is not good. It’s really really frustrating.

 

i just hate seeing Jalen prance around the court after turning the ball over and not providing anything on defense, does this kid know he could be out of the nba in a few years

 

I can't remember the last time the Knicks sent us blow out loss.

 

this team play so stupid on the road.

literally the pistons on the road.

 

It's a tight rope to walk cause we want to win but also our young guys gotta improve. Jalen sucks & has one more year to turn it around.

Our biggest problem for the future is that it's gonna be really hard to get out of the play-in group unless Jabari, Amen or Whitmore make a leap.

 

Jabari.

I think if Jabari was on a team where open looks were consistently generated and there was better passing and playmaking hed look a lot better. But even still hes shown growth since last year.

 

I been saying that all year … and it slows the pace down so then you getting less shots also .. less shots + 2.s vs 3s and more shots = loses

 

fixed,

my dude

 

Open runway and no defenders?

Pray tell, what could’ve been done better?

 

Didn't think the defense would be this bad for this long. Complete turnaround

 

We decline Harden for this kid.

 

This game is over

 

Fred has to be the worst defender I’ve seen. He lets everyone go past him with one move. Him and Green are terrible defenders

 

I’ve suffered enough. Goodnight brothers.

 

Tari also has looked a lot better this year.

His issue is he's been hurt a lot this season but when he played he was a shut down defender and his shooting and scoring had definitely improved.

 

Bari gets placed opposite of Sengun now that Brooks is back .. and it’s FVV on same side of ball as Sengun .. so unless it’s a cross court pass he’s just a body on so many possessions no matter how hot he is

 

Well, I'm done with this game guys. Y'all enjoy.

 

He got ahead of himself. He needs ro look at it as a process, not that he’s there already.

And on defense it’s getting ridiculous that he won’t jump or get a hand in the face of guards who drive the lane. He is not in foul trouble now, there’s no reason for him not to challenge.

 

lol
