ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/23/2021

I really hope this is start of trend and not an outlier.

In any case, Silas needs to try and keep Boogie fresh. Perhaps not play him in back to backs.

Trading for another big or 2 would be a huge step in right direction. It's just common sense right now.

 

They were the first to embrace Silas system wholeheartedly.

Both guys try too do to damn much in my opinion.

 

I really would be fine with Wall sitting out the rest of the year. I want the young guys getting as much time and shots as possible.

 

That is a little extreme but understand your meaning.

Wall may need to rest 2 games to every 1 game he plays to ensure that knee doesnt flare up again.

 

I'm a Nwaba fan but damn.

 

EG, Boogie and Wall on that „**** Harden season” and I love it. Now I hope it sustains and Oladipo will play for next contract and we make some noise in playoffs

 

The team is not as bad as the record but also not as good as people think it might be.

2 games ago - armageddon.

 

Gordy loves Harden. So does Tucker.

Their fight has nothing to do with Harden.

Disrespectful.

 

Man this was a great team performance! Finally Gordon hit shots off his own creation so they weren't empty possessions. Boogie, I really thought was done, but great to see him perform like this. Tate is great, but he needs to slow down, I feel like he travels most of the time hahah. Nwaba off the bench is such a delight. What a hard worker and just all out hustle guy. Jones with some great plays and what can you say about Martin Jr., those dunks and blocking Boban was play of the year!

 

I don't think it's that huge of a knock on Nwaba. I think it's more that he and Tucker just cannot play at the same time. Nwaba played fantastic tonight. He's much better suited to be surrounded by shooters than playing along side Tate and Tucker as well.

Nwaba is a big part of this current team, just need to keep him out of the lineup with Tucker.

 

Agreed. And until he improves his 3P% to 34%+ then he is best coming off the bench.

But he is having one of his most impactful seasons thus far, glad it's for us.

 

Nah he needs to be there as he is the leader of this team rn. Just having him on the court boosts the confidence of Cousins and some of the rooks as well. These guys look at star power or cache a lot.

 

I dont think you can take Silas quotes like the gospel truth.

What is he supposed to say "**** man, Wall can barely walk you think he will throw lobs to Wood? He never played with an athletic big man in his entire NBA career you expect him to have instant chemistry with some dude he just met? What is this a Kdrama?!"

Silas aint exactly a nutjob like Irving obv je would say they have great chemistry lol

I remember Dumbtoni saying Rox are perfect in summer camp and then they lose first 3 games by 20 pts.

 

Can someone give me a recap of BOOGIE busting out?

I am on holiday and was without internet/at the beach/smashing beers for most of today

 

Rule should be sit him when you can. Up 15? Boogie should never be in the game. Rebounding well? Don’t put Boogie back in. Save every minute of pt you can so he can contribute the full 71 or 72 games.
