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

Jalen's last 3 games he's averaged...

25/5/3 in 30 min on 51% FG and 53% 3pt attempts.

Nice start to the year.

 

Means "good morning".
In this case meant "good morning after supper"

 

Agree the Rockets handle biz against bad/injured teams but also been competitive against the healthy ones as well, which their record reflects that

The shooting slump % (and shaky handle) was stopping him from showcasing the rest since he has played better solo and team D under new regime and he seems to take shots in the flow outside of his minutes with bench unit where he shot hunts more so (rightfully so)

It was always about his shot (make or miss), and it will remain that way since they project him to be a possible future scoring champ (contender)

His two man game with Sengun is good and will improve with more time together

Its all about confidence & experience, in everything in life pretty much

Green has it easy, just make shots at least 45-50% on total attempts(or better) and make 37%+ on 3pt attempts and 80%+ from FT, he does that and he gets his usual minutes, if he doesn't he sits on the pine and Holiday/Eason get them, along with Amen and possibly Cam

 

I'm happy with this blowout win.

 

I need more Turkish lessons from Alpi....

 

Yes he had one like 3 secs in.

 

Jalen looks like Kobe. Let’s talk about it.

 

Ivey > Smith? Let’s talk about it.

 

Jabari had Cade/Bogdanovic in jail. Team is totally different defensively with him out there.

 

He does this Kobe impersonation thing a few times a month...

 

Damn, how bad ARE the Raptors?

 

Well, they were missing players due to the trade. lol.

 

Yeah it's extremely underrated how much he does for the team on both sides of the ball.

And he does it without complaining about his touches as well. Very mature approach IMO.

 

They got depressed due to OG leaving them. Ujiri should have waited before he made the trade. But at least that took pressure off the other teams lol Even the Pistons can start a new streak look at Cade as soon as they won he playing like a scrub again.
