ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 1/1/2024

I bet Amen makes fewer mistakes and misses fewer details concerning the scouting report. Just a hunch.

 

Sengun needs 3 pt shooters if you want the Wizard to do his magic, that's why Holiday got a lot of time. If everyone is hitting 3s like tonight then we don't need him since that's the only thing he does well, but unfortunately that's not the case every night. At the end of the day he is a 2 way contract so keeping him around is a no brainer.

 

My one pet peeve with Ryan is that he KEEPS SAYING THAT THE END OF GAME SHOT CLOCK VIOLATION IS A TURNOVER. IT'S A TEAM! TURNOVER! NOBODY GETS THE TURNOVER!!

A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WOULD SUFFICE!!

Other than that, I actually like our guys--but I'm not very picky when it comes to commentating teams, as long as they're not absolute homers and/or smug twits like the Warriors guys

 

You have a decent team but the announcer or commentator is pretty bad or obnoxious.

 

I dunno man Cam seems more effective in the limited mins both have shown. Rox started winning when Amen got injured and Holiday replaced him at least Cam is good enough to dominate the scrubs he faces on the court.

 

Puree not sauce.

 

Team has been really good at taking care of business against bad and injured teams this season.

I hope Jalens recent shooting will open up some confidence in the rest of his game. The great shooting is awesome to see, but thats gonna come and go.

 

you came in at the tail end of that argument

I said if we get a ball handler back for Tate and Holiday, Cam could play more minutes. I just said Cam can shoot just as good as Holiday IMO straight line player or not. If Cam gets the ball he will shoot the 3. we have seen him do it when he is up here with the rockets.

 

Holiday might be able to handle the ball better but the end result is basically the same, minus Cam's ability to actually finish around the basket. Dude rarely passes it once he starts dribbling.

 

Hard to say because Amen is playing against in non garbage minutes. Would be great to throw Cam out there just to see how he fairs, but Udoka seems to not have the trust in him yet over Tate/Tari

 

Missed the game, how did Sengun play?

 

First two quarters



Third quarter

 

The Piston's defense in the post in that 3rd quarter was truly pathetic. They helped our confidence a ton.

 

Good enough for me, gonna keep voting all star...

 

I think Udoka is still coaching Cam. He isn't going to give it to him easy. He needs to get whatever "details" Udoka is talking about before he gives him what he wants. This probably extends into practice habits and off-court habits and everything else.

Udoka knows what he has with Cam. Tough love.

 

Just checking in to see if Cam had a dunk tonight.

 

We have had a very difficult schedule. It was great to see us take care of business against a bad team. Really shows me where we are.

I am ok with the defense falling off a bit because we seem to be figuring things out on the other end.

Alpi is turning into one of those stars that can start slow and still dominate eventually. The best part of this team is having a coach that believes in Alpi. He can be the guy.

I really like what I saw from Jalen the last couple games. It isn't a question of his talent, it is a question of consistency and team focused play. Keep it up. I will say it again, when Jalen plays well this team is very very hard to beat. He has to shoot well, he just has to.

More Tari with the starters

More Whitmore

More Amen

Less Holiday (Sorry, life isn't fair)

 

Gunaydin then

 

Nice to see team adjust to a slow start and CRUSH the 3qtr--47 pts! Sengun with 20 pts in qtr owned their 2 7'trs.

Good to see Amen have a better game. He's still gonna be a project, but he looked better.

Cam just looks so comfortable with the ball in his hands--he's instant O!

 

Does that mean I have the best drip or something?
