ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 10/14/2022 (Preseason)

missed the game. someone provide a summary on if we won or not

 

A few things:

Rockets rebuild came at the absolute perfect time as the Warriors are getting older. Really incredible timing by the Rockets front office. Zero chance they get Wemby this year. They are going to be too good with Green's development, KPJ being a little less ball dominant, and the mindset Smith and Eason bring.

Second thing, John Lucas is a national treasure. Look what he has done to Jalen's jump shot. That release is about 2x quicker than it was last year. Incredible development and work ethic between the player/coach.

Always got quite the laugh out of the people pushing for Silas's departure. He should only be judged on these young guys development until the organization starts bringing in vet players to push for a playoff run.

So far Silas has been A plus.

 

Green is ridiculous. The game has slowed down then some, like some Xmen mutant.

KPJ is playing under control in the half court.

It should all make for an entertaining season. Two days until Wednesday! I don't count weekends. That's not how time works?

 

Oh man thanks, that was it.
League Pass always has that on by default, but it never had that weird zoom for me in other games.

 

Watching the halftime, damn that u14 wheelchair game is an airball fest.

 

lost.
Green had 33 turnovers.

 

not a problem. moving my fandom to utah nao

 

Great choice. Mormons love mailmen with horny sacs. U got this!

 

Pleased with FT% and boards from the bench.

 

I just noticed this but Green is 21/22 from the the ft line this preseason

Everything about this dude screams "great shooter". I can see him being one of those career 85% + ft shooters never dipping below that.

 

Well to be fair it was Hardens choice on timing for a rebuild. If it was up to Morey/Stone/Tillman/Silas, the team would still have a core of Harden/CP/Capela, PJ, etc.

Even with Harden and CP3 declining, that team would still be the choice to compete with even 4 years later. Harden wanting CP3 out for Westbrook was the beginning of the end and totally his decision and signaled to Morey and Stone what would come next respectably.

Still I think it oddly worked out for everyone except for Harden who would have made more money staying in Houston, probably would have had more playoff success even if he wouldn’t have won a title, and would solidify his legacy to a city and have a ton of respect around the league for his loyalty.

 

I think we sold Harden at his highest trade value. If we waited a few more seasons we wouldn't have had as much return. Holding on to Harden would turn us into Blazers of the past few years where we know our ceiling isn't title contenders but we are still good enough to not get high draft picks. We would just be coasting as a middle of the road franchise.

 

Yep. He did us a favor and did himself a disservice.

 

Its one game and Ty Ty barely got playing time. You would think you guys would learn by now not to be so knee jerk about things lol This board Knee Jerked about Jalen all last year and have been soundly proven wrong. Ive never seen a board proven so wrong so much but still have the ego of Skip Bayless and Stephen a Smith lol This board went crazy just one game ago saying Sengun isnt good enough after one preseason game after an injury lol Ty Ty will be a great pass first point but he needs a little time and I think he did show his skill set but he's new and he also made mistakes and thats what you guys tend to focus on. Its not like he's Nix where it seems like he's a gleague talent. He already looks better than Nix and he's barely done anything lol

Green has legit chance of being an all-star this year if non-Rockets fans actually watch Rockets games

 

Harden reportedly declined like a 50M a year contract as a last ditch effort to be here and then he took less money in Philly too. Don’t think he just cares about the money

 

They ****ed those kids over so bad! They are used to playing on an 8 foot goal, but some ******* thought it would be a good idea to make a bunch of little wheelchair kids shoot on a regulation height goal. Yeah. That was brutal!

 

eg fun meter through the roof.
