ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 2/22/2024

He's on the road. He usually does terrible on the road, so I expect a subpar game.

 

won't take too long before they turn on the coach

 

I am keenly interested in the backup guard/wing rotations... Do Cam, Amen, and Aaron Holiday play enough to keep Jalen Green below 30 minutes... While they are starting Jalen... Does he finish the game?

 

Does Sengun look better tonight than he did for the last month? I am thinking he will have a good first game after the one week layoff.

 

He will be better because FVV is back to set him up again. Prior to FVV being injured, FVV to Sengun was the most frequent assist in the NBA.

 

Amen and Alpi were developing some real chemistry, but they aren't there yet as a PnR combo--Fred is still really important to the functioning of our offense. Also underrated defensively

 

EVERYBODY is doing something to get better except the Rockets. Nerlens Noel?

 

Trying to save Jalen's semi-trade value for the Summer. Hope something clicks for the young fella.

 

It's amazing to me that they didn't do anything to improve this team at the trade deadline or over the all-star break. Combine that with no lineup changes and they must really believe that this group is good enough. I hope they're right!

 

Jalen Green career splits (post ASB)

PPG: 22.5
RPG: 3.5
APG: 3.5
FG%: 45.5%
3G%: 37.2%
TS: 56.9%
(ie, he looks like a decent basketball player every year after the ASB!)


Hopefully he gets cooking again this year (so we can move him in the summer?)

 

Problem ain’t Jalen….it’s Jabrari.

 

PREGAME'S GOT KID DANCERS YEAH BABY

 

If Tari proceeds to only play Kawhi like games per year but leads us to a championship at some point - I'll take it.

 

the Dragonettes were . . . fire

 

Has the new starting lineup been announced?

 

u weird

 

I never feel as old as I feel when I listen to NBA pre-game shoot around music. God damn I hate listening to that!

 

Lets go Jalen we know u like to shine after ASB time to start cookin
