ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 3/21/2021

missed the game. did the tanks win?

 

Lol John Wall is more concerned with his Hairline than not caring about Christian Wood Being so Wide Open for a 3 and a easy dunk.

 

Wall needs to go ahead and have that knee scoped, Oladipo needs a new address, Silas needs to sack up, be a man, and COACH these kids, and it’s time to turn them loose and see what we’ve got. Watching veterans lose 20 games in a row isn’t much fun...

 

Every time I see that Landry's emblem in the background I want to throw up! I'd love to see one of our players just take a knife and cut it out in the middle of an interview.

 

This team played better with Mason Jones at point guard not because he's good, but because he deferred. Jones was too hesitant, but that meant others could shoot. Brown, Tate, etc. got touches in the game. Right now, they only get touches when plays are drawn up for them or off of rebounds. Over half of our possessions right now are iso turns between Dipo and Wall. It's one thing to start with them having the ball, but it just feels like it never leaves their hands unless they want to get it back immediately. Wood had 16 shots today. He should have had 25. Roby or Brown should have fouled out guarding him. Tate shot 6 times, Martin once in 14 mins, and KPJ 6 times in 20. Wall shot 18 times which is just too many. He dribbled and dribbled and held the ball for long periods of time.

The highest IQ player on this team right now was the lowest IQ player on the team just a season ago, Danuel House. House looks like a savvy vet out there compared to the rest of the team. As much as I love Tate, he made bonehead plays on defense, including twice where he decided to stay on his man in the corner while allowing the OKC player to have a free layup.

There's also the mental stress of constantly losing taking its toll. This team can't get a lead. They can't build a lead. They're always playing from behind. That's not normal in the NBA for anyone. In the first half they give up 70 points to teams that suck now. Even if we're tanking, it's not good enough. We need a coach that isn't just frustrated at the podium but is willing to make difficult roster decisions. Wilson played well today in 10 mins. Why limit his minutes? Why not play with him AND Wood at the same time? Especially when you're getting outrebounded badly?

 

Ouch....this might be the most damming to how bad our team is. Btw great posts bro, Im enjoying your thoughts.

 

He has a point. Those 3 guys being bunched up was clearly a **** up on someone else's part. I don't put that busted play on Wall.

 

Yea it definitely wasnt Wall's fault. Just seemed like a botched play. Oladipo and Woods may not have known what was going on.

 

I dont care that just means they made the next one that they would have missed. Wall might be the best rocket statistically that I have disliked lol.

 

The one that is making Tillman lots of money

 

Maybe Stone is playing 4D chess when he traded for Oladipo instead of Allen.

He knew Oladipo would be the tank master and even offered him a 2 year extension (where we have our unprotected picks) to continue the tank rolling.

John Wall also the perfect tank captain, he's either injured or making dumb plays losing us games.

 

Trade deadline will fix or coach will change personal. No other team is going to trade for a benched player. Wall has free rein at the moment and he knows it. Time will fix this.

 

Comments are a++++

 

I recognize maybe 2 players on that OKC squad that suited up tonight. No SGA and again we had Wood, Wall, and Oladipo and still lose.

20 losses in a row. What can you even say. It’s unbelievable how bad this team is.

 

That's not what Silas inferred, he confirmed what Wood said - Wall chose to not run the play.

 

It's possible that the other two guys were supposed to set a trap door / screen on Wood's guy so Wood could launch a 3, but they didn't do that. They were all 3 just kinda standing there.

 

All John Wall can explain to me right now is how he plans to shut the fu** up.

 

All that assuming is going to make an ass out of you and me.

What the hell are you thinking, Wall? Just drive it down the lane and draw the foul. **** taking the 3.

 

Silas has no choice.

He needs to shake it up, try something different.

Bring Wall off the bench, he is not being traded this season anyway.

Porter/Wall
Dipo
Sterling/House
Tate/KJ
Wood/Wilson

 

Its possible, but both Wall and Wood are saying 2 different things.

And I will go with the guy who was pissed off and clearly frustrated, like the coach, about how that last play ended up.
