ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 11/18/2024

Same. Would have went to school the next morning all pissed off lmao.

 

I was watching the game on the Bucks broadcast and it definitely wasn't meant to be this way lmao. They showed it from an angle facing the rim and it ended up really far away from Sengun. I mean this is nonsensical - why would they risk it that way when they got Sengun wide open? The play would have worked beautifully if FVV could make the pass, but it's fine, he carried all night. FVV took the blame himself btw after the game.

 

Tough loss but I can't help but feel like these are the best kinds of losses to have because the difference between a win against a good team was really just about us not executing at the end so we just beat ourselves in a game we should have won. This is very fixable.

 

I contend if we trade Green for Lavine and a future FRP from Chicago we win more now and in the next 3 years.

DD

 

Sengun could’ve pump fake or something. Plenty of time to do some moves.

 

He didn't play much today, but Steven Adams is glacially slow at this point. I'm sure he still sets great screens, but he's a significant liability in any facet of the game that requires movement. He gives up some ugly blow byes, and getting the ball to him in any capacity is a struggle. The not perfect but still gettable pass from Sheppard today, he looked like he was legit glued to the floor.

Landale needs the regular backup 5 minutes.

As for the game, meh. Was 50/50 road game, you'll win some and lose some, Bucks aren't as bad as their record.

 

After watching the Texans game, I'm watching the game on tape delay but from looking at the box scores it appears our forwards didn't show up. Jabari had 4 pts and Dillon had 7pts!

That can't happen against good teams

 

Dillon played his ass off on defense though.

 

Of course he took the blame a good leader is supposed to do that. But Sengun should have also caught that pass. And maybe get off more than 2 inches off the ground, just a thought. Oh well, we shall get them next time.

 

The height wasn't the issue, it went way over to the other corner as well and he had to both jump and extend his arm all the way to barely grab it. I don't think anyone is scoring that tbh, you need time to recover and shoot it. That's why he kicked it to Jabari I think or whoever was there. The camera angle in the tweets makes it look a bit misleading. But yeah, we move. It was a good fight at the very least.

 

NBA is the most rigged league because Bucks need to win because they can't have a down year with 2 superstar players. ESPN never showed Giannis was out-of bounds in that play.

 

29 year old Zach Lavine who has broken leg, bad Knees and Feet misses the whole Season or most of the Season for a Healthy 22 year old who played 82 games in Jalen Green.

 

Angle wasn’t the best. But despite the bad angle, I think Tari or Amen, if they were in Senguns position would have grabbed the ball and scored the layup. Sengun is a great player, but on this play his lack of athleticism clearly hurt. Anyway, it is what it is at this point I’m dropping it. Just a little bummed out we didn’t beat these ****ers lol

 

4 points for Jabari Smith at 21 years old, versus 27 points for Brook Lopez at 36 years old.

 

Why can't Steven Adams play more minutes, that is the Question.

 

So Dillon Brooks decides to take the night off?

 

Nah, it was a maybe-Wemby-can-catch-and-score level of bad. I saw it from both angles it was way more off than what it looks like from this angle.

 

He is negative most of time this game.

 

If we could played Tari instead of Brooks in final minutes, we would win the game.

 

Eh? Grizzlies, Mavs, Knicks, Clippers, Clippers is 5 wins against legit teams. We’re still growing as a team so no doubt we’re still pretenders at best. I don’t think anyone expects them to be contenders over night. It may still take a few years but this team is getting better every season.
