ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 12/26/2023

I'm pretty sure that that was a foul by Turner on Alpi, but not only that, it was also goaltending, because he shook the rim. Pretty sure that contributed to the ball bouncing out.

 

She also has an ugly neck tattoo.

 

Is Sengun a superstar?

I’m not talking about the overused version of the term “superstar” - I mean a LEGIT #1 option on a title team? It really feels like he’s headed in that direction

 

I think after blocking a shot, you are allowed to hit the rim.

 

There are better ways to criticize someone's performance! Don't be a ****in sexist. Why don't you go back to kitchen?

 

I'd argue it was the other way around.

 

He goin out sad mane, I feel the dude has no heart. You let Aaron Holliday take your minutes smh....

 

Hield was 4 of 14 for 28.6% and 3 of 11 for 27.3% on 3's.

Jalen was 2 of 7 for 28.6%...2 less makes on 7 less shots. And, no he didn't play well for sure. But, be careful what you ask for.

 

The video is very short and plays very fast, but it looks like Turner hits the rim and that causes the ball to bounce out. You can see how the whole rim shakes and the net moves. The ball was already in the cylinder.

 

I noticed that too - once again the Rockets never get the respect they deserve. The only person that I think has given us any respect is ESPN’s Zack Lowe who has called Sengun a burgeoning superstar.

Smarter words have never been said my friend!!! I have multiple threads saying as much.

 

I was at the game tonight. I’ve always been a Jalen supporter, but he was just not trying to make anything happen out there. And it’s not a coincidence that the Pacers went on big runs when he was in the game. If Jalen isn’t scoring, he rarely impacts the game any other way. For the first time, I’m starting to wonder if he’s going to make it. Still hope he does. The Rockets really need a shooting guard to pair with Alpi.

 

Missed calls aside... how the hell was Jalen -19 in 19min?? This dude is hopeless.

Ime starting him is just a formality at this point because Eason is gonna gobble up all his minutes sooner or later.

Jokic got lucky that he had a robin in Murray helping him because Jokic with the rest of the Nuggets are still trash. Sengun doesn't have a robin to his batman right now and we definitely need to find one through trades if we aren't tanking anymore.

 

We need to trade Jalen for two second rounders like we did to my boy KMJ!!!

 

edit wrong thread

 

Elvis, we have a shooting guard and his name is Cam Whitmore. Reality is nobody wants Jalen as he sucks on defense and can’t dribble. Turnover prone passer too. Best to cut bait and move on. Keep hom if he’ll take a KPJ type contract, but my inner circle tells me his agents want max money at contract time as he’s been the face of the franchise.

I'm disappointed, but not mad about the loss. I'm more mad about some of the blatant fouls on Fred and Sengun that were ignored. I was actually glad to see Green finally come out of a game early, so that was my secret win in our loss.

It's tough to beat a team who is so hot at the 3's that they score 57 PTS from behind the arc. Haliburton hit 2 more 3's than our entire team. We only hit 5 threes the entire game, and our starters only hit 1 three PT shot. That might be a Rockets franchise low for a starting unit.

Just a great performance from our bench players once again. I love those guys! They are so much fun to watch. Their gritty get in your face defense, along with good shooting was my favorite part of the game besides Sengun.

Sengun put everything he had into tonight's game, both offensively and defensively. I loved how he fought for every shot and was able to draw the fouls and make those free throws. Add in 16 rebounds and 4 steals, and he was in beast mode!
