ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 10/31/2021

Constantly having to remind people that a lot of superstars sucked their first year is kind of exhausting lol. Some sucked wayyy more than Green beleive that.

 

He’s good at moving without the ball, he’s great around the basket with second chance putbacks and rebounding, and he already has great chemistry with KPJ.

 

When you say a bunch, how many of the four threes that he took would you considered to have been open?

Regarding the rest of the post, if it’s true they are playing him like Gordon then that’s another knock against the coaching staff for playing him like a guy who has a completely different skill set rather than putting him in positions to do what he does best.

 

starting lineup was 2/19 on 3s...yikes

 

Pretty sure 3/4 threes were wide open, he shot one step back I think.

You don't get those often especially in the corner

 

I hate it when the haters are here after a bad game and gone when he has a good game.

Jalen needs more touches tbh.

 

I don't understand why we take so many threes when we don't have shooters..

 

I think he had 1 corner three.

1 of his other threes came with about 40 seconds left in the game. Definitely took one step back three.


this channel should have all of his plays up later today:

Green had a rough shooting night, but tbh I am not worried about him. The guy I am starting to worry about is C.Wood, yeah the numbers are okay but his free throws are killing me man. He reaching Ben Simmons territory minus the defense by being 1-7 at the free throw line tonight. And the post ups from him has got to stop, he is not strong enough to back anyone down. And when he does shoots it in the paint, if he misses then all he does is asking the refs to call a foul. Need C. Wood to be a better free throw shooter for real.

Last but not least, love the way Sengun plays and KJ Martin should never be out of the rotation again with this current roster.

 

Him being out of the rotation is one of the big reasons why i have concerns about Silas as a coach. Even if you're a casual and you look at stats from last year you wou dl think KJ is better than tate house and nwaba at most things and he's more athletic.

 

I promise you that Green has all the tools to be a SUPERSTAR, he will be the best at his position. I believe Cunningham, Green, Mobley and Barnes will be superstars.

 

I am not seeing many comments about Green's assist and playmaking ability. He had 5 assists tonight which is great IMHO. The shooting will come but if he improves his playmaking that would be awesome!

 

Missed a couple of games, do hope someone can chip in their opinion. Is green looking bad already ? Does he have any flashes of superstarisim in him at least ? Is he lost in the Silas system

 

wood attack the rim > turnover > fast break....

 

LOLLLLLL Yo - Salman asking the most outrageous question yet in that EG vid @ 2:16.

"Other than that Utah game, this team doesn't get blown out that much. It seems like the games are always within 10-15 points. What does that say about this team's fight?"

Dude legit almost got EG to laugh there hahah

 

Glad to see Russ have a good game. It means he'll rip the ball out of LeBron and ADs hands in crunch time later on.

 

Half of them are bean stalks.

Green at 186 lbs, KPJ 203 lbs, and Wood who has been in the league for years 214 lbs.

Not sure how physicality is going to be imposed and when next season there will be new rookies joining.

 

I chuckled at the Toyota, Landry's shower curtain as the back drop.

 

Alperen Şengün has been good for the Rockets in less than 20 minutes per game off the bench. 2.5spg is amazing in 6 games and not playing really long minutes
