ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 2/13/2021

People will just blame injuries honestly.

 

I'm not even sure the Beijing Ducks would even want these bozos at this point.

 

It’d rather have the craziness of claiming this team was a contender rather than the atmosphere of doom & gloom right now, though. At least winning was fun.

 

Yeah less house and Tucker, more Spalding and Cousins

 

It's not going to happen, but I wish someone ask Silas to justify playing House these many minutes which coincide with Rockets losing leads or extending deficit. The excuse we need another ball handler is foolish. He plays with Gordon, Wall and Tate on the floor.

 

Well.... let’s see if they can get into that bottom 4-5 and see if they can get a lucky lotto bounce. The hubris of the Oladipo deal and the foolish 6 game winning streak likely keeps them out of the top 3 spots. OKC is also about to tank hard, they could end up with two of the top 5-6 picks.

Silas sucks at player evaluation and strategic decisions. He is good at preparation and player evaluation.

 

First glance at Spaulding does not look good. Low energy for his garbage time... reminds me of that Chriss player we got years ago and round up with the warriors

 

12-15 more points from, ooh let's say Kevin Porter Jr and a few more affected shots on defense from rim protection that Spaldings presence gives and it could have been a different game. It should have been a different game.

 

The Wood doesn't have any help crown looking bad.

 

Tucker, House, Jones and Mac 0-17. House accounting for almost half of that

 

While the Knicks are the knicks, this new Tibs knicks has a decent record and is playing well this season. Think deep inside down, many of us know that if it'd be a tough game. -And personally speaking, not that shocked the ending score is a blow out. But the glass half-full part of me pre-game was hoping otherwise.

We're not winning against even the mid teams, so load management tanking is working.

 

I thought the same, he wasn't crashing the boards at all when someone shot the ball. Seemed very slow-footed and lackadaisical. I guess he'll fit right in.

 

Tank mode in full effect

 

I saw a decent rim protection aspect in his game. A bit of nerves in receiving the pass. All things that PT on a sinking ship won't fix.

 

"unselfish" ball movement and teamball all the way bby~~~~~~
So much fun.

 

Brb, headed to the Silas is a bad coach thread.

 

please for the love of god beat the wizards.

 

I can delude myself into thinking that we're tanking by choice, as opposed to losing while really giving best effort. The hope now is that it's just one season, instead of years after years.

 

Just to be clear, I can handle losing, I am fine with it, but the way we lose is absolutely miserable. I think the value of some of these guys is dropping if you keep letting Silas play them in whatever the **** he is trying to run.
