ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 1/31/2022

The kid isn't ready he is trying to play checkers in a chess game. Jalen will be great when he starts playing smarter. he is getting suckered all the time because he hasn't learned how to play. Silas is really hurting him b y going about things this way

 

I thought the momentum had swung before that, tbh. Felt like Sengun for Tate was a dumb sub. I was fine with subbing Sengun out early (he was getting abused in D) but it should have been Wood coming in for Sengun, not Tate. KJ should have continued on the court, and Silas should have given time to Jaygup, KJ, Matthews, KPJ, and Wood.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tate, but he didn't to anything spectacular this game and actually did poorly on a few possessions vs Curry in the 4th (for some reason Silas had them matched up instead of KPJ on him. After a three in Tates face they switched).

Yeah, Green played like crap. And he isn't elevating this team or making big plays in close games. But maybe it's just me, I can understand why we are taking our hits with a #2 pick. What I don't get is why Silas seems so inflexible with making other decisions on the court.

 

how can you watch this game and make such a stupid comment

 

I'm so glad we put Jalen Green out there for 33 minutes so he can have an outstanding FG% like 2/9. If we're lucky at this rate 3 years from now he might average 35% from the field.

 

I think it meant to say Rockets were within 4 when KPJ followed 8 points from Curry, with his own 3. Then proceeded to trash talk and him as he jogged backwards up the court.

The Warriors then continued to play, meanwhile KPJ talked the talk but sat down when it was come time to walk the walk.

I found it hilarious him barking at Curry.

Curry doesn't even know your name dude.

 

If the mobs are anything like their namesakes, the Green Gang will be waiving the white flag and standing off in the corner after 2 minutes.

 

It's not the first time it's happened either regarding Christopher.

He is WITHOUT A DOUBT a better rookie than Jalen Green, and deserves more minutes, and does much more on the court to warrant closing games than Jalen does.

Also regarding Sengun - you're right. Although I am increasingly frustrated with his teammates, there is literally no warning or yelling out that a help defender is coming to alert him to this.

That is communication 101 back in U10 Reps. Yell out if someone is coming hard from behind. Yell out if a player has their back turned and can't see something you can see.

This team just does not have any fundamentals down pat.

 

"Meet me in the locker room and I'll throw something at you, b*tch"

Curry: What's that ball boy yelling at me for?

 

Also the jump ball/travel by Curry and the godawful toss that led to a Curry 3. I know I’m biased, but we’ve played against the Warriors so many times over the years and it almost always feels like we get the short end of the stick in terms of officiating against them...case-in-point, the Durant out of bounds play.

I think the Warriors’ days of winning titles are over, though. And good riddance.

 

I actually think he is…

 

Hopefully Jaelynn will make other teams fan bases feel the same one day…

 

Man IDGAF about winning this game and I'm, according to some, I'm the anti-tank guy (although I'm really not)

I just hope Wood and Ego are traded so that we can play more young players.

I'm happy Green played in the 4th, I'm happy he got 30+ mins. Good. He has to learn. You can learn a lot from failure too but there is a ceiling to learning if all you do is watch and not participate.

While it would have been fun if this young team shocked the world and made it into the playoffs...that clearly is not happening. Trade Wood and Ego for as many assets as you can get, play the rooks more and give them more usage, keep seeing if KPJ can continue to grow at the PG spot, maybe even play Garuba some...whatever. The point of this season should be to help further development of key prospects and see who is worth keeping.

It'd be nice if they could win a game once a week, sure, just to keep morale up, but it really is irrelevant at this point in the season. We're about to enter the point in the season where teams (Like the RocketS) will sell off talent to the better teams that actually are fighting for something and the teams that are selling will be putting out some pretty bad experiential lineups.

 

Care more about the trade deadline which does not seem to be busy at all.

On all 30 teams front.

 

I'd consider the Play In now (not that they are making it).

It seems the FO is not that great at drafting and the prospects are sort of meh after all the hype.

Aren't we just modifying our stances......

 

"I'm one of the BEST AFRICAN b****es in the business. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah!".

 

+1.

Like the last game vs GS, it's worse than getting blown out.

It was so annoying to watch every close reach/hack call go the Warriors to way, ostensibly in a year when the league is allowing more contact because of James Harden and the Rockets. It was 2018 for a few minutes there.

Like i said i hope the Warriors get smashed into the toilet by the Grizzlies in the 2nd round.

 

Weak as hell.

Which of the 7 video clips i posted do you allege are doctored? Or "all crap"? Do you think giving up 2.3 points per possession was good defense?

Just admit that you were wrong anonymously on the Internet coward.

It happens to the best of us...and to you. You'll overcome it some day.

 

Does not like like we are on a developing plan for our rookies. This looks more and more like the Porter Jr boat.

JayGup is above Jalen Green now, why are we splitting reps among those 2 like that? If losing is the goal shouldn't we try a lineup with all 3? Scoot - Jalen - JayGup? With Sengun and Tate sharing some minutes and evaluating those minutes?
