ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/15/2020 (Preseason)

they’ll probably keep bruno smh. Green will prob make it.

 

House still trying to plead to James. Harden ain't trying to hear it. lol

 

Harden, Gordon and House goofing around on the bench is a good sign.

Also Bill And bull are literally begging harden to to stay on live tv lol

 

Gordon was smiling on the bench talking with Harden

 

Wooten, Queen likely gone
Thomas, Jones probably get the two'-way spots
Clemons just got guaranteed
Then it all comes down to Grant vs Green
Grant probably stays because we have no other point guard
So Gerald probably gets cut

 

You realize if they cut Bruno you’re banking on Cousins to play back to backs and to stay healthy the entire season.

 

oh no, that's unfair
A injury man dragging a person who just back from rehabilitation to the water
What's more, green is so brilliant in this three games…

 

This.

 

Grant is soooo bad he is gone by default.

 

A Few Observations:

It is early, but we might have the most defensively sounds wing rotation since Prince and Ariza. If only they could stretch the floor; however, they seem to know their limitations and either attack the rim or keep the ball hopping. If we keep Tuck and Tate continues to improve on D, we will be a very deep team on the wing

Wall is getting more and more comfortable, which shows with how he is directing the offense, playing very strong defense, and attacking the rim, among other positive attributes. I really enjoy watching him play over RW. I do not think RW could play effectively in this new offense nor be the orchestrate the offense like Wall.

Tate is starting to adjust to the speed of the NBA and finding his spots in the offense. I am surprised by how athletic he is to go with his raw strength and aggressiveness. He could be a very pleasant surprise, and find a place in the rotation.

Mixed bag from Harden tonight but that comes with the territory practicing making buckets on stripper's g-strings to NBA basketball. He really seems to have bought into our new offensive philosophy, but maybe he is just being professional to speed up the trade process by stabilizing his value. Who knows.

We have missed someone like Boogie for years. His versatility, BBIQ, passing, etc at the C position. is something we have not had for a long, long time. There are a lot more positives about his play that others' have mentioned.

Bruno makes one great play then three idiotic plays. It is quite infuriating. I just don't know if he has the BBIQ to be a rotation player. Also, he gets bullied in the paint; could add some muscle on his frame. Sometimes he is able to neutralize this by being athletic and having a great standing reach. I guess we will have to take the good with bad, and hope with consistent playing time he can become more stable with his play.

Bmac is getting plays called for him and not just for three-point shots. He is making the most of the opportunities just as long as he doesn't take more than one dribble!

EG looks more fluid. Still bricks a lot of shots; however, his top of the key three looks great. I wonder if is 3FG% is higher at that spot.

House was trying to do way too much, so he, at times, looked out of control. That behind the back pass to Harden on the baseline would have been sweet if Harden wasn't sleeping on the play. I think he will slow down his game and find his spots in this new offense.

Big question is – who will be our fourth guard who can run the offense? I am really hoping to see more court time from Jones. Grant would not be terrible, but I think we can find a better option.

Overall, watching this team is breathe of fresh air even when we are not shooting well. Everyone is playing hard and unselfish. Lots to work on, but there is a lot to be excited and optimistic about. We got some absolute steals in FA this year. Boogie, and Nwaba are the two most notable additions.

 

That would be stupid.

 

Nah grant gots to go not double G

 

Tate didnt look nearly as good as PJ today. Tate was playing in garbage time against the scrubs.

 

Grant can’t dribble to save his life; I hope we pick up another backup

 

Man, I don't know what you guys keep seeing in Bruno. Other than when he's open, he hits some 3's, he looks lost in the post whether it's rebounding or scoring. Every now-and-then he'll get a block to make you think he's a legit big man.

Now Tate and Nwaba are showing actual reasons to be out there at their positions even though you can see them make mistakes. With Caboclo, he just looks like some tall dude that can hit a 3 here and there but is usually out of position or off balance to defend, rebound, or block shots most of the time.

 

How serious is Tate's injury?

 

Bruno is fun to watch........you never know what he is going to do
7pts 4rebs 2asts 4blks 2-2 from three

 

Yes, it is lol. Significantly so.

 

Tate ? you mean Clemons

 

It’s insane the leash people give House and Gordon.

House was great. He had a great all-around game.

Gordon brought absolutely nothing but despair
