ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 12/22/2024

Tate the best backup 5 on our roster
Definitely worth a mid to high second rounder
jg a prima donba taking high risk plays then pouting like a teenage girl when he gets stripped and no call
So immature
Cam still didn't know right play to make
Ball really needs to be in reeds hands
We know what fvv and jg are gonna do

 

Hypocrite? Dude, you are seriously going overboard. Get ahold of yourself. You're having a keyboard meltdown. We are all Rockets fans here rooting for the same team. There is no need to hurl insults and foolishly attack someone's character. But internet anonymity allows people to act out in the worst way without consequences and people like you take full advantage of that.

The Cocaine Curry nonsense was a complete, exaggerated joke. The ones who took that seriously were on Kool-Aid. My preseason upside for Reed was that he could develop into a rotation player by the end of the season, primarily as an off the ball player. I had no expectations for him playing meaningful time at the point as a rookie. There is no "contradiction". You are just grasping for something to fight about.

Unlike Reed, Jalen has a three-year track record on the Rockets, including one year under Udoka. He also just signed a $100 million extension and is supposed to be the #1/#2 option for the team. Expectations for him are in a different galaxy than Reed. They are not even comparable to each other right now. Can you even understand that?

 

Tate is 100% dollar store Jimmy Butler

 

My fault. Definitely got it flipped. I wasn't even trying to say he played bad but posters here keep saying he's the only reason we are winning like he played some amazing game.

 

Because Sengun never complains

 

Thought we were going to lose this one with how the game started.

This team has definitely grown under Ime. This is a game they lose last year.

 

Fred can't handle playing 82 games. Can Brogdon help? I don't know his current stats.

 

He’s stagnated. Cade, Mobley, F. Wagner are all making an uncommon Yr4 leap and now look better than him…

 

Yea but it's the same two guys every nights lol

 

It would be even scarier if you replaced Sengun with Dillon.

 

Agreed. We need to take 1/3 of the shots from Fred and Jalen and give them to Jabari instead. Seems like a no brainer.

 

The sooner FVV is off the team the better. Start Amen, will probably improve our shooting percentage …

 

Everyone had ups and downs but compared to past years we believe more that the team is gonna end up winning, and that is big

 

sorry to hear about your FIL

I’ll continue my FDA approved work in your honor

 

Scottie Barnes look absolutely dreadful.

 

And his basketball game is not much better either.

 

Great to get a glimpse....

 

What we weird game, that 1st quarter was up there with worst defense and offense. Cam got it going a bit, but that first stint he took 3 god awful shots and it lead to 6 points for them. Tate deserves more time when Tari cannot go. Rest I won’t waste my time on, solid games from Brooks, Amen and Jabari.

 

First of all, Jalen got 22 points on 20 shots.

Secondly, crediting a player for something he has not done is weak tea. Further, using that to criticize someone who is capable of the thing is basically water.

Finally, Cam took 10 shots and scored 11. It stands to reason that with 10 more shots he would’ve scored (drumroll please) 22 points On 20 shots.

Y’all just default complaining.

 

So we need a far more advanced offensive system?

You can't just magically create more shot attempts for role players who have issues self creating. In our non structured offensive system, players that aren't good at self creating looks will not eat well.
