ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/29/2024

Great win by the Rockets Im proud of Jalen, he had a couple of bouts of selfishness but when he shoots like that I dont care. Whitmore needs more minutes NOW IME. Also Ime's biased nonsense almost gave the game away but he came to his senses quicker than with the Nets game so we stopped the bleeding earlier.

 

It's the best game of career for Jalen

 

Ime didn’t want to waste his first fifty point effort on the Lakers

 

Imes rotations don’t make a lick of sense.

 

I was very surprised Lakers still played Lebron down the stretch when the lead was still in the 20’s. Don’t they have back to back tomorrow?

 

If LeBron didn't whine so much... he would be so much more likeable

 

The only person that could guard him tonight was Ime.

 

He's had better

 

We won the game guys, the coaching was good lol. Enjoy it

 

One great game does not erase any bad games he's had. Even his "good" games before this one were mid. This is proof he can play better but you need to do it earlier in the season. If he turns it around now its almost too late. So im not sure what youre on about lol

 

I am so damn happy for Jalen Green. Keep it up, kid. Big time game.

 

It’s interesting. Seems like someone has to defer in the offense and FVV has switched roles with Jalen which is how they should have played all along. FVV just needs to settle in, get comfortable and be effective in a reduced role

 

Throwback Jason Kidd stats for FVV. 3 pts/ 14 assists

This makes up for the Portland game. Now a make up for the Brooklyn one.

 

A lot of fun tonight! I wanted a win, but I didn’t expect a STATEMENT like that!

That lineup of Amen, Jalen, Cam, Bari and Alpi might not have been the most dominant…but I felt giddy looking at all our young guys together on the court at the same time.

Just want to see improvement—and in these last few games I’ve seen a lot of maturity and growth from our 25 and under crew! I hope we can keep it up, we don’t need to win every game, but I sure think we’ll win a lot more if we play like this.

 

Fred needs to pass more and shoot less and pass to people other than Sengun.

 

Time to shorten the rotation. Trade Tate, Holiday and Landale for a decent back up big.

The rotation should only include Sengun, FVV, Green, Dylan, Jabari, Cam, Amen, Tari when he's back and that one big we get from a trade. 9 man rotation is enough. Too many guys getting minutes and not allowing guys to get in a rhythm.

 

I mean the Defense is still not where it should be but a very good game for sure.

 

Fred's averaging 17pts, 8.4 assists and playing really good defense. Now imagine if he was taller than 4'9''.

 

Fred and Amen should be splitting PG duties 50/50
