ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 1/31/2024

They didnt show up. Dont go jumping thru hoops just to dismiss a certain someones performance.

 

I want Ime to shorten the rotation to like 8 guys. No Tate or Holiday. Amen even though he is a bad floor spacer is so long and athletic it immediately shows on the defensive end. And Cam might be the team's best catch and shoot guy.

 

Thank God we have traded Nix, otherwise he would get love from Ime for unknown reason.

 

It's the journey selfish guy like Holiday who shouldn't be get any minutes at all

 

I meant Fred and Villain are pretty inconsistent for veterans as well....so are Uncle Jeff and Aaron Holiday but okay sure.

Consistent effort but not good enough consistently.

 

Nope...horrible game.....he was 0/6 and 0/4 on 3 pt. in 22 mins. No excuses.... but he's not why we lost. love my Rockets but we have a team of ball hogs....refuse to share the ball. We have Sengun who is great offensively but leaves a lot to be desired defensively. FVV who is pretty much a liability defensively and shooting % is not good overall. Jalen has been coming on...one bit of good news.

 

Yeah but they have always been that way so it isn't a surprise really. Fred and Brooks isnt known to being consistent shooters we shouldn't even have to rely on them to be it either. When Cam, Amen, JG, Bari, Tari, Alpi clicks and starts to mature they will all be producing what we need. Growing pains, we shouldnt forget none of these guys are over 21 years old except tari

I dont even think holiday and uncle jeff should be in the rotation, they should be getting the same playing time as Boban. Just too bad we lack a backup center and 3pt shooters.

 

Reality is Sengun has been the most consistent offensive producer this season,

 

We lost this game due to rebounding, point blank.

We got outrebounded 56 to 29. Thats effing wild. No energy from the frount court and Jabaris worst game of the season.

 

Showcasing

 

His stats are there normally, I think he ran out of gas gradually, no wonder.

He has a PF like body still .......and Bari is a tooth pick.

 

GG talks more with his hands than his mouth...

 

The guy is disingenuous as ****. It’s fine if you think Green has no future but you can hold that opinion and simultaneously recognize good play and good effort.

 

SOB

 

I don’t measure success in wins and losses but rather how hard and smart the team plays gm to gm. Tonight was one of the worst games all season.

Subpar effort defensively and terrible ball movement on the other end.

 

I don't think the team as a whole competed very well tonight.

 

I think he likes Cam but Ime is trying to stamp out his bad habits. I think Ime doesn't want Cam to get away with that silly stuff even though he knows he needs him. It will be good for cam in the long run.

 

27% behind the arc...

Exact same stuff from the Brooklyn game. They pack the paint and force Sengun to pass, and our players can't make the open shot. This will keep happening if we don't improve our shooting by the trade deadline. There is no meaning to Sengun if there are no shooters. Get rid of Tate.

Props to Jalen, he's thriving. Anyone who still slanders him is a hater.

 

I'm noticing a pattern on how the defense is defending the Sengun and FVV roll. Making him pass. They got good looks. If our players hit those open shots. They'd have a 20 pt lead in the first half. They were 7 out of 27 in threes to start the third quarter. That's 25%.

 

Has nothing to do with being a hater, if you say Jalen is not cut out for 82 games.

He has shown that times and times again when he had a bad month, a mediocre month followed by great months.
