ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 1/10/2022

The lost art of creativity going to the rim. All the greats could it MJ was the master of it. Players just flail and hope for the best now days. For small players not only could AI and Francis crossover but their ability to finish layup or dunk is what set them apart.

 

KPJ can do whatever stupid on court.

 

but why? we never won anything with harden...harden is the reason we are in this pit right now...

 

Yes he does. He wants to miss shots. Or pass it to teammates who will miss shots.

 

I think that's where we messed up by comparing him to James harden lol he isn't even better than Harden last year in the playoff with a bad hamstring.

 

Fair point. As I said above though, he's more likely to make that strategy work than to try and be Harden which requires a LOT more talent, vision, IQ, ballhandling and creativity than the drive and dish game. Jalen could probably make it work even better if he didn't pass so soft and had the vision for it, just because of his speed/first step. Has to be said though, both could do it easier if they had a C setting real picks.

 

Someone sign this kid

 

also risk of injuries... he might not even be 100% healthy right now...

 

half time kid gets "upgrade" to courtside if he makes a hoop. I think he'd want to get stuck farther away up in the nosebleeds for this game

 

The clown blames efforts for every bad loss.

 

A Russ that can actually shoot....

 

I blame those late night binges on James harden highlights

 

We should sign that halftime kid, he seems to have the 3pt stroke.

 

I think physically yes .. he just is indecisive most of the time and that’s where the problem is .

when he plays quickly and with intention he DOES look like a type of james harden or manu . Imo put him as a 2 Off the bench and he can learn to handle in more limited circumstances.

I get why we are forcing the question , but I think it’s been answered for a while . Can’t we give him another chance later and give other guys opportunities for 10 games or so?

trade deadline related ? Stone mandated ? Or Silas believes ?

no clue .

imo max adversity doesn’t always equal maximum growth .

 

Yeah man it’s frustrating. There’s like no thoughts no plans no vision. Seems like he makes up his mind to either dribble drive or shoot and when his drives go nowhere he panicks and dumps it off resulting in a turnover. Baffling because seemed like he had a little bit of court vision last year. Really a mystery to why sucks now.

 

James Harden drives though

 

The only bad effort I see is from Stone firing him....

 

I miss Sengun and Gordon. I miss having Capella at center to block shots. Sometimes it's hard to watch the big guys roll over Wood and the rest.

 

never forget john wall was his favorite player...
also never forget danuel house was playmaker in silas system playing alongside alperen sengun

Spoiler

 

Green with 2/4 at half.

Basically 8 shots a game.

Silas: Good. 8 shots is enough for Green to develop.
