ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hornets 2/8/2021

Ah yes, what u folks been clamoring to see. The awesome, wholesome team ball play. Nothing makes u folks more excited to see all dem passing, fluid ball movement. we lost but hey it's all about ball sharing.

 

Who are you talking about? I didn't see that.

 

Please momma make the bad men from Charlotte go away!

 

Nah I think the Charlotte announcers pull it off. CA is a bit corny for me. The entire crew is corny, save Calvin

 

Agree. Get on it Thaddeus/NBA.

 

Ehhh....I thought he laid it on until the final whistle....kind of unprofessional. But, what goes around comes around...it always does.

 

I'll go with stupidity. Maybe, Cheaptita has a deal to pay 1/2 salary for half the games.

 

poster was saying that Boogie is on the verge of erupting at Silas over PT

 

Oh, ok.

 

I watched the entire game and it didn't seem that way. He was engaged in most of the timeouts and was talking with John Wall a lot. Definitely saw some frustration, but not towards Silas (though maybe he was venting to Wall about minutes, idk).

Cousins isn't really a team killer or a bad locker room presence, he went through a shitton of coaches in Sacramento because that organization was awful. I think he's been a good vet on this team so far this year.

 

Yall turn around quickly and trash the coach when a few games ago they were breaking 3 point records. The coach from that game didn't change. The players did.

Obviously, missing 3 best scorers, the team was limited and as we saw when we first traded Harden these guys can only do so much before they run out of talent. If we caught Charlotte on an average night, we win...but we caught them on a night where they felt good and were up for this game for whatever reason.

 

Why didnt you play the healthy players. Frustrating for a new team supposedly needing more gametime toghether, yet we sit core players. Thats BS coach.

 

Booger's playing all he can handle right now.
He needs to chill out.

 

It makes a HUGE difference without Wood, Ball, and Gordon, and you know it. This wasn't the group we were all cheering about and you have to know that. SMH

 

Missed the game but it’s clear this team desperately needs practice time and full rosters. Resting players to try and win both games is dumb. Play them both on the tougher opponent and rest them for the other. Or play them back to backs extremely limited minutes. We need continuity.

 

I don't think you should every REST Wall and EGo at the same time
Two of the three Wall/Ego/Dipo need to play at all times

Rocket River

 

I think he’s been on his best behavior so far as well

he starts now that Wood is out, he gets 20 minutes a night on average even tho he’s shooting 35% from the field on the season...that seems more than fair for a player of his caliber, and I hope he wouldn’t be so foolish as to try and start grumbling and causing a scene over PT

 

Wall and oladipo are going to sit b2bs so if you have to sit Gordon one game, it should probably be when Wall plays. Wall and EGO have good chemistry but wall is a pure PG who can run the offense. Therefore you should let EGO play when Wall sits so he can help Dipo.

Honestly reading the report after last game, I think that Silas chosed to sit EGO in this game instead of the next because he believed in Dipo, asked to bring him here, and thought he might get going if he was the primary guard tonight. Dipo just isn't playing well enough to make Silas look good.

Silas needs to stop trying to get him going and just play his system and let Dipo catch his flow whenever he can. Dipo definitely needs EGO more than Wall would have

 

We cant possibly win games consistently, even vs weak teams, with keys guys resting seemingly every 2nd or 3rd game and only 1 big on the roster. Its just that simple.
