ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 2/12/2024

There's a lot of crying on Twitter right now from Knicks fans, and it's pretty funny. But then you get JT Gatlin chiming in with this bullshit



If you watch Jalen's last drive, Achiuwa clearly fouls him. He wasn't vertical and he was moving and there was a lot of contact that the refs ignored.

Somehow it's an injustice and a shitty way to end a game because they actually called a foul that was there? Get in the bin Gatlin

 

20 Rebound
10 steals
8 assists
6 pts

 

I think Alpi did well in the clutch, he missed a layup but he made one too. Jalen definitely got bailed out by the foul on Brunson, though. At least his second half was better than his first in terms of shot selection and making good reads

 

The foul should be given at the end of the first half. Just postponed.

 

How about Amen and Tate's 9 steals? They were great causing the turnovers tonight.

 

And two broken boards. He is shooting as if David throwing stones to Goliath,

 

The no call is honestly deserved when you consider the play was drawn up for a guy who was 4/14 to that point.

 

Brunson is stupid, why would you jump into a heave, if was clearly a foul

 

And BOTH of those 2nd half shots were on the same play.
He rebounded a miss at the rim and put it back up but missed, then grabbed the rebound again and put it in.
2 shots, 1 make and 2 offensive rebounds on one play (all his 2nd half offensive production). lol

Alpi missed him once on a cut to the rim in the 4th but I won't fault him for that.
Alpi makes great passes.
Goon's biggest problem tonight was missing a couple of easy bunnies at the rim.
Other than that he set great screens, made excellent passes and helped out on defense a LOT!


I would REALLY like to see Amen develop a 15ft floater.
He could get that off against most any point in the league!

 

That play was not drawn for green, it was drawn for Sengun

 

Was it drawn up for Jalen, or is Aaron Holiday no good at inbounding the ball in a clutch situation? Looked like a broken play from the outset to me

 

Good game, only thing....Would've preferred Alpi have gotten more than 3 rebounds.

 

Play fell apart. We got lucky Brunson decided to launch half his body into Holiday at the buzzer.

 

Jalen really need to work on three pointer, past 10 game was consider great stretch for him but he is shooting 20-72 (27%) beyond the arc.
After that hot streak he has been shooting 6-34 (17%) I’ve never see. Such a low percentage shooter still attempting +5 threes a game.

 

Basketball minds knew they missed KPJ.

 

Good point, I'd have to watch again to be sure.

 

manifest it.

 

Agree...my point is that you give me a player shooting 60-70% ...I'm going to give them the chance to show that they are hot and "on" or shoot themselves out of the high percentage. It drives me crazy to see ball hogs going 1 on 3 when there are players open for shots and shooting it well.

 

My 2 cents on Brunson fouling Holiday at the end of regulation, and the Knicks not getting a timeout: refs didn't want to do overtime (maybe they had a booking at Landry's to get to?)
