ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers at Rockets 11/23/2024

The team, team, shot 35/25.

No one deserved it lol

 

I disagree. They gave up 104 points. That's not much. The problem is they could not score in the halfcourt. I think most of their points in the 4th quarter came off of Blazers turnovers or free throws. I'm sure they were fatigued with it being their 5th game in 7 nights, but hardly anyone stepped up tonight.

 

That is what players do when coaches run them into the ground, they act like tired and wanted out of the game.

He engaged with the ref and got ejected.

Even at the off chance that Fred has one of his games, he should be rested.

 

Udoka gonna give his usual dumb excuses.

 

Fair. I’ve seen Fred shoot badly before, I don’t think I’ve seen him meltdown mentally at the end like this before. Honestly, it was a little Harden-esque.

 

We lost because we lost the rebounding battle.

 

I'm shocked when I see those defensive stats about Sengun cause aside from him trying defensively, it's hard for me to say that he's a top C defensively. There has to be something beyond the numbers because it doesn't make sense to me.

 

Ingram is just as inconsistent as Green. Did you see him against OKC in the first round. One of the worse playoffs performances ever. That’s why New Orleans is trying to desperately to trade him. They know they don’t want to resign him

 

His coaching in clutch moments cost us many games

 

We came into this game with no respect for our opponent, just because we dominated them yesterday. That mindset cost us. These are the games we should never lose, regardless of how bad the officiating might have been. There’s simply no excuse.

 

"We got open shots"

 

Bad loss, stupid scheduling.

 

Yeah, I’m not gonna overreact. This was a stinker and they still had a chance to win. Gotta find a way to shoot better from 3, or our ceiling is limited.

 

nope. Got out coached by doc rivers the other night.

 

I'm not really mad. Happy with the teams progress. We will definitely continue to close out games. I do believe despite Jalens absolutely horrible game, he's earned being in the game during these last minute moments. I also thought Reed was heading for a decent game, but it's annoying that he keeps passing up looks.

 

This is why we can’t have nice things.


Fn bummer.

 

The rockets were playing this screens wrong all night even when Jock was in. They were giving the ball handlers way too much freedom. It was either open threes or getting downhill.

 

Mumbling idiot

 

You can’t keep winning with a SG who can’t shoot

 

Better lower expectations.

We won't beat any team by playing like this.
