ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/15/2023

Dude, I was thinking the same thing last night. I do not know what it is with Jalen Green. He was getting pushed around, Reeves had him flustered, he just has too many up and down games.

I just don't see that KILLER INSTINCT IN HIM

 

He may not be a point guard but he is probably the best point guard currently in this roster.

 

only losers and not real rockets fans prefer for rockets to lose games...and dont try to make it sound smart, because youre not smart, and because he who roots for cheating has lost all the credibility and cant be trusted!

btw not sure how the guy that is not even able to shoot 3s at decent % in europe where 3 is lot closer, will fit on a 3pt cult team here...

 

i dont think i saw harden ever doing this so many times let alone in one single season

 

I know it's early, so I imagine your still DREAMING.

 

The two things he brings to the court, I'll admit he does well. But on the opposite end, he does not play well against starting caliber NBA Centers, he lacks foot quickness, which hurts him on the defensive end, he's foul prone, and he forces things in traffic.

And like I've always said, I think he will be great as a 6th - 8th player on a contender. That's where I see him futuristically.

 

We literally don't even have a point guard on this roster. So no. I wish it wasn't the case.

TyTy is the closest thing we have and he hasn't played close to enough minutes to know if he is good or not.

 

so you're admitting he is a point guard now? and it's just that you dont like his pg game and think he will not be real good?

only 13 full nba games(35 minutes) in his career and you already see all this?

oth he does force things in traffic sometimes and so does every great player, especially ones on disorganized teams/with lack of coaching and bad supporting casts/coaching

and yes hes a bit foul prone but nothing worrysome that more experience( he only ever played 13 full nba games) and better reputation with coach and refs wouldn't cure...
cause if your coach aint supporting you, be sure refs gonna pick you apart even more and you cant play defense in this league if the refs wont permit you

but no, he aint slowfooted and even if he is, thats why you have to hit the gym and work on it...

I am glad that you aint a doctor cause doctors with your attitude would never make crippled patients walk

people break their necks and walk again and you telling me you cant get an european MVP at 18, A GENERATIONAL TALENT, A UNICORN, A BASKETBALL SAVANT, A WALKING HIGHLIGHT REEL to move their feets little faster on defense after a few years of training....lolol

 

"all the black fans"

 

LOL - not even close.

KPJ is far and away the best PG on the Rockets and after coming back from injury is over 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio while being efficient.

Patience is just not a thing around here it seems.

Tarik had some good moments with Rox and is doing OK now, however, Sasho Vezenkov is the real star of Olympiacos.

 

Per Cleaning the Glass, with last night's win the Rockets have a top-10 offensive net rating for the past two weeks. 13th best defensive rating overall for the past two weeks as well. Good to see progress.

If KPJ can play unselfishly and allow the offense to go through Sengun a good amount of the time he is passable as a PG. If he reverts back to hero ball and pouting like a couple of games ago, then they need to bench him until he demonstrates maturity.

 

I'm happy for the win. A bit too much iso though apart from Alpi. We wouldn't have won if either AD or LBJ had played the game. Jalen has the potential to do a lot more damage. I'm surprised with his passiveness. The team has gotta long way to go.

 

KPJ is not a point guard. He still makes really dumb reads and it seems passing is his last resort. And he over dribbles all the time. Our end of quarter possessions with him are comical.

He's but a bad player just cast in a bad role.

 

But I changed it! I said I did watch it
