ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 10/22/2021

So. They're stupid because Green had one bad game and they commented.

But. You're not stupid because Green has had exactly one non-bad game and you're commenting?

You're weird dude.

 

He was absolutely atrocious. Wasn't much better last game either.

All the raving last season about him, I nabbed him in fantasy.

To say I want to drop him already isn't even an understatement.

Thought he was going to massacre this defense. Scratching my head all game at how bad he was.

 

I wonder at what point he checks out.

It is ludicrous he is being used as nothing but a screen setter on the perimeter.

Silas is a f*cking clown if this continues for much longer. Psych. He already is if this is literally what he's drawn up Sengun's contribution as after witnessing everything he can already do.

 

Green looked better this game.

Not much to talk about defensively, since OKC were so, so, so bad.

Really looks like we need to focus on nothing but transition for Green, he already looks good in that capacity.

 

Green is an absolute freak in transition.

This is an area he needs to continue to show out, push pace like a MFer, until his 3 starts falling.

 

Jalen Green looks absolutely fantastic. I’m sorry If you can’t see it yet. Kid is a stud, stud, stud.

 

missed the game. did wall win?

 

Maybe it’s from years of watching Harden casually stroll down the court, but Jalen Green is the quickest dude I’ve ever seen. Deaaron Fox speed at 6’5”.

If you can do one thing better than anything else in this league, you’re going to be a star.

 

I thank God that I didn’t make the trip down to TC just to see us come out and get beat down like some chumps

I don’t even care if we lose if they at least make the game entertaining and competitive…what happened opening night against the Wolves was disrespect of the highest order to my eyes

we actually made shots last night

Rockets shooting 51% from the field and 45% from 3? Somebody slap me, I must be dreaming

Rockets-Pistons November 10th at TC, let’s get it

 

I agree with this. I was discussing it with my wife and we were talking about how he leans into the direction he's going before he takes off and it telegraphs his move. I think he needs to learn to at least disguise the direction he's intending on going SUPER fast in.

His defense is another ballgame. That's something he's going to have to work on for years but as long as there's improvement there, he has time to become great.

Great tools, limiting 19 year old experience: Jalen Green.

Here's to that being worked on daily! Go Rox!

 

this is why i call Nwaba the fake hustler...
the real hustle is in the gym with your shooting coach or you coming 2 hours before game and shoot....
kind of hustler james harden was....the silent type...
whats use of throwing yourself at the floor to get a lose ball if you cant hit a wide open 3?...ITS NONE..its basically penny pinching mentality...

 

can you get us the name and the statline of the star player that played okc in their first game?

 

he won the advice of the night award saying to jalen green, "listen son when you rise up as high as you did on that attempt, you better dunk that ball...."

 

THIS 1000 TIMES
on the other hand you gotta love his defensive intensity and activity... hes the best defensive center rockets had in the last ten years...I JUST LOVE IT!

and perhaps the best star we had, he perhaps saw that he inst inspired offensively this game so he dedicated to contribute defensively as much as he could...something harden would rarely do...

 

this is a negative consequence of being on a tanking team... this is why tanking doesnt work....

 

dunno wachu talkin bouts, missed the game. but seems like he can be almost as good as suggs
