ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 2/27/2024

Honestly, we paid the suck tax for Dill and Fred. The problem is you can't win with 3 players consistently getting blown by on the perimeter. Fred, Dill, and Jabari are turn stiles out there. Fred is just slow, Dill is overrated on defense and Jabari has the worst feet on defense of anyone on the team.

 

Do you have any fun in watching Rockets games now? I do not.

 

Knowing Stone he will probably hold onto Fred's contract in the hopes of acquiring a star at the deadline, then fail to make said acquisition... sadly.

 

Tari shot improved and he looked to improve offensively overall its too bad he's barely played this season.

 

It's ok, we're all good. This only took 22 spins to achieve!!

 

There is no one else playable. Jeff Green is the backup for both Alpi and Jabari because of the way Stone has constructed this team.

 

Udoka comes in at the postgame talking about accountability.

Where is his accountability? How bad does Jalen Green need to play?

 

Agreed. And I know it's nit-picking but I saw 2 or 3 times early on tonight when Goon would pump fake his man, get him off his feet, draw contact at the basket and THEN smoke a 1ft layup.
Sooo frustrating for me to watch because he was also shooting 2-6 from the line during this period as well.

 

I am raising my hand as I really thought we would be like 35 wins....so, I over expected. IMO...other than Jalen, I think we have a great group of young players. We needed a backup Center for this year and a SG. And. just IMO the veterans FVV and DB have not added to this team what I thought they would. I always thought we overpaid for both but convinced myself it was gonna work out.

 

Jalen has to get benched. He was far from the only issue tonight but I don't see the logic in continuing to start him. Team needs to figure out how to fit Amen and/or Cam with Sengun going into the offseason.

 

Luka and Jokic will probably gives you +30 wins
SGA is good enough to give you +20 wins

I think Magics and Thunders are pretty similar but SGA is just that much better than Paolo enough to put them as contender instead of playoff team.

imagine we drafted Scotty Barnes instead Jalen and J Dub over Jabari

 

Bench Jalen already!!!!

fukkkking ridiculous

don’t care about his morale/mentality/psyche

 

Potential to win more than 36 games but in reality they will lose a lot of those close ones because they cannot close out the bigger games.

 

Do it! Its what I make emm for lol....

 

It's pretty damn obvious what this off-season requires.

 

This is actually frustrating.

 

I think we were 5 out of the first 11.

 

Took me 14 tries to get Nets as number 1 pick, 16 tries for Nets to get another number 1 pick, 22 tries to get another Nets number 1 pick, 36 tries for another Nets number 1 pick, and after 40 tries Rockets number 1 pick and Nets Number 4 pick. 45 tries for exact same result of Rockets number 1 pick and Nets. number 4 pick. 46th try Rockets number 1, 48th 49th try Nets number 1 pick
