ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 11/27/2024

Yeah, I guess that there was this big fallout of Harden missing practices on the road, Morey accommodating him, Tilman mad, CP3 being sour........

All that goo that nobody wants to warm up again.

 

The Paul trade was on Tilman. He’s bragged about how he forced it in interviews.

 

No chance, Morey asked out because

1. Fertita wouldn't pay luxury tax.
2. He was forced into trading for Westbrook.
3. Since he had Westbrook he had to go small cuz Westbrook couldn't shoot a lick hence the capela trade.

basically he knew we lost our window when we let everyone walk and didn't pay the tax and he didn't want to rebuild again.

 

Thank you for telling him.

 

James Harden literally Jetting out to Las Vegas while the Team was upset doing Practice.

James Harden moodiness is the Worst. Daryl Morey allowing that.

 

I'm impressed by Green today not his scoring, but he was more willing to pass and try to read the games. There were still some unnecessary turnovers and needed to tighen his handles. However, overall he played with confidence, stayed with the flow of the game, and not tried to do too much or suddenly MIA. I don't want to overreact for one game, hopefully he can keep this up.

 

Y’all were tripping for a bit.

 

Forgot about Tillman not paying Trevor Ariza.

 

Hard?

 

I was 16 in February of 91 when we last won back to back OT games. I loved that squad by the way…also OLD AF!

 

Nah, you left out that Morey commented on Hong Kong and it was that political message that he then declared he needed a break from basketball...

While plotting his return to the NBA behind closed doors with Philly.

The other stuff is relevant to the Rockets but that is not how Morey got out.

 

People complain about our guys being homers but they’re really very objective and good compared to some of the commentators we’re forced to hear on the road…Suns and Sixers being prime examples. It’s ridiculous how everything is always so unfair for them (in their minds)

 

I gotta say, Amen is freaking beast bro. I thought I saw good defense in the past from Trevor, Luc, and PJ, but holy **** this guy is on another level. I only got to see Hakeem at the tail end of his career, so didn't get to appreciate his golden years. The discipline Amen brings is all NBA level.

I'm insanely pumped that he also gives you offense and that his **** doesn't look as ugly. There is ****ing hope that this man will be a co-franchise player with Alp.

 

Hell no I wasn’t.

I was referencing Sengun attempting to bring the ball up full court. That’s not in his wheelhouse.

it’s a turnover waiting to happen. He needs to stop that because he’s not Jokic.

 

Man Tilman came in so guns a blazing that I thought we were getting the NBA version of Jerry Jones. I'm glad to see he's backed off a bit and allowed Stone to Stone.

 

We win!

 

Alperen Sengun really was Jackie Chan - Drunken Master
.

 

It wasnt just Ariza. Every trade deadline he was forced into making a cost cutting move and give up assets to do it. That's why our window shut so fast. Trading picks away to dump Ryan Anderson. Signing NeNe to a joke of a contract that got vetoed by the league. Sending House down to the g league so we didn't have to pay him 1 million dollars. Writing was on the wall. Morey knew we couldn't win with Tillman, so did the rest of the team. As everyone left him high and dry.

 

Morey one of the smartest people in the world. You don't think he did the Hong Kong thing intentionally because he wanted out? Literally everyone in Rockets organization left because of Tillman.

bill worrell.
Tad brown
Daryl Morey
Dantoni
Harden.

no one wanted to be here with his cheap cost cutting moves that officially closed our window.
