ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 1/12/2024

Who cares?

 

Nice! Coldest night I've experienced was NYC on New Years Eve 97. With a -17 wind chill factor, things that saved me...

1. Long Johns
2. Beanie
3. Gloves
4. Scarf
5. Alcohol

GOOD TIMES!!!

 

The American Stuff

 

Unc and me are the same age.

I aint getting back up either.

 

It's so annoying, after that first half, I was ready to come in here and sing his praises about how well he did tonight, then the second half happened.

I dunno, I'm just glad we found a way to steal one from the ****ing Pistons.

 

That would be pretty funny.

 

I pumped gas in Omaha Nebraska with a minus 43 windchill. That was some stone cold stuff there.

 

Scoring 28 isn't dog **** and you know it. #2 pick being "wasted" is sunk cost already so no matter how Green plays now it shouldn't matter. Green wasn't the one who made himself the 2nd pick that's on Stone so why are you somehow blaming Green for it?

Yes expectations for him are low but apparently you both have low expectations for him and also insult him when he has middling performance so how is that possible?

I personally don't see Jalen now as anything more than an average nba player until he shows some more consistency. But an average nba player shouldn't get the **** he is getting on this board y'all hyper fixate on him and keep trashing him even tonight when his play helped the team win more than others. Doesn't really make any sense. The other game people were blaming him for the loss when Cam was clearly the one who messed up. Like I said doesn't really make any sense.

 

The Pistons found a way to steal the win from their own damn selves.

Our guys just helped them along

 

We were very fortunate that the Pistons decided to beat themselves in the last 2 minutes of the game. Terrible effort on defense tonight.

 

I got both of you by several years. I and @DaDakota are waiting for a tow truck to get back on our feet.

 

Jalen Green defenders be like "How dare you bring up his stats" LMAO what the **** man

 

My mistake Jalen Green did a wonderful job leading us to a 2 point win against the 3-36
Pistons.

We should retire his jersey now.

 

sounds like bone on bone.

 

Scoring 28 on 48% TS% is dogshit no matter who we are talking about. With Jalen, we kind of expect him to suck, so it's nothing new for him to be so pathetically inefficient, but it hurts the team.

 

That's some crazy ish!

And I love the cold. Have my windows open now.

 

Why are you so sentimental?

I have always wanted JGreen to score, Alp to assist, Jabari to rebound and Tari to hustle. I also posted as " this is the 28 ppg JGreen we wanted" tonight.

What is the matter with you? Any JGreen related post is not for criticizing him. Lots of people here want him to succeed.

 

Rockets were looking ahead to Boston.

is there any shot at getting Tari or Eason back tmr? Think I saw Dillon prob Knicks game — what is Tari status?

 

Back in the day in Indianapolis, I delivered newspapers in the dark very early in the morning when the wind chill was -83. 3+ hours in the cold with no break. On days like that, the DM would take me out for breakfast after we finished.

True story.

 

If 48% is dogshit what about his alternatives? It doesn't hurt the team it helps the team cuz the others are worse. If we got somebody else we can plug who outperformed him then yeah it hurt the team but that's not the case tonight.

You are just lying and making up ****. How did Jalen hurt the team when we won this game partly cuz of him?
