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

I really don't believe John Wall makes his teammates better. Was never a fan of his and never will be.

 

If these goofballs are gonna suck, then suck with a purpose. I want this guy...



He's exactly what we need as a 6'7" forward. Tired of not having a sizeable sniper on this team that can get his own shot if needed.

 

rockets upper management should make pj tucker wear payless shoes until he scores 10+ points. i bet he starts scoring then....

 

Getting blown out by the Knicks... I don't regret having not paid a lot of attention to the team this season.

 

We suck!!!

On to the next game...........

 

lose to the wizards and it can def get lower.

 

maybe maybe not but he wants out of ATL they may trade him for a Vet u never know

 

thanks HP, I'm still there waiting for some more tests and xrays. we'll see

 

8 players hit

0-21 from the three

Total 8-43

are you kidding me?

Trade this team please.

 

Set the pick and the whole offense changes. It will literally be night and day but no one sees it. He's a P&R PG but no one on this team sets the P. Idk how people can blindly overlook that. It will totally change everything if they stopped slipping the picks

 

I skipped watching this game, and after looking at the box score I'm glad I did. How on earth do Tucker and House play 31 min and 23 min without scoring a single point? The guys can't even make a layup? That's sad, and honestly, neither of them deserve those kind of minutes any more.

 

At least the front office is trying. Unexpected that the best player would leave so it's a down year made worse by injuries. Anything is better than texans.

 

Hard to get excited about someone who is inevitably going to be nothing more than a role player.

I know this will come across as going full Rush "the black quarterback" Limbaugh, but...when was the last American white guy that was considered a "star" or have star potential in the NBA (and by star I mean primary scorer)? Go back to Larry Bird. Since then, who's been the best American white guy other than John Stockton (a guard, admittedly one of the best) or Chris Mullin (not always the primary scorer)? That leaves...Gordon Hayward?! I honestly can't think of another one that pops up. The Sabonis kid might be the only one, and that's sort of a technicality.

Other "notable" white guys were guards like Jason Williams and...no I really can't think of another one. Steve Nash doesn't count (Canadian/South African). No one even knows if Jason Kidd is white. The true white guy stars are all coming from Europe, mostly former Yugoslavia.

Point is: I wouldn't take the chance on an American white guy with a top ~5-10 pick hoping they have "star potential" since he would most likely end up as a role player at best. Not worth the reach. Yes the draft is a crapshoot, but never forget the busts of Adam Morrison, Joe Alexander or Frank Kaminsky.

 

We are on the right track.

Being blown out by bad teams is the quickest way to future success.

 

Problem is I'm not too confident he has the ruthlessness to make changes that will be needed with his assistants. He seems like a great person, but his lineup management is disappointing and at best kind of worrying.

 

The funny thing is.... John Wall dishes up iso after iso after iso.

Except he's about 3500x worse at it than Harden.

Yet people act like Wall is amazing.

Haha.

 

It is honestly hideous watching him play for a team that should be tanking.

It's hideous watching him dribble dribble dribble trying to do a Harden impression.

It's hideous watching him shoot pull up 3s.

It's hideous watching him drive a lot of the time when it's not under control and he throws up woeful shot attempts that should be registered as turnovers not a missed shot.

It's hideous watching him be so off throwing passes to players. The amount of times a player has been ready for a catch and shoot, and Wall has passed it out of the player's pocket and that player has had to reach out to pull in the ball completely throwing them off their shot, is astounding for a point guard.

And we're paying him HOW MUCH for the next few years? F*cking brutal.

 

Everything he does well....does not seem to contribute to a win now

Wood coming back will help alot

Wood drives the engine and not wall
Wall has to understand that.

Rocket River

 

stuff like this makes me think they're sneak tanking.
