ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/8/2024

Jalen (8.5/10): One of his best games. Was positive and energytic. Sometime he picks the bad shoots unnecessarily.

Amen (8/10): Such a good defender! Amazing. He only needs to correct his 3-point shoots...

Sengun (7.5/10): He is such a good and high IQ passer, ball distributer. The most critical piece of this team. Double-teaming him is a bless for Rockets. He can easily get 15+ assists each game once the team's wide-open shooting gets better.

Jabari (7/10): Quite but effiicient. Needs to get better when atacking to the rim. He has a huge 3-point shooting potential. I don't believe he is a rhythm shooter since he has natural talent for it and it should just happen for him. He just need to trust himself - eventually he will... Once also getting stronger, he will put more impact in the game.

Fred (7/10): He was steady enough... not much work needed

Cam (6.5/10): Was good.. 3-points shooting was lacking..

Landale (6.5/10): I hope he got his confidence a bit back...

Holiday (6/10): Did his part... was ok.

Dilon (4/10): ..was under the wheather. But that is ok for today.

Udoka (7/10): was an easy game for him.. rotations are sometime annoying..

Even was relatively easy, win is a win... Kings game is a better benchmark...

 

Team is playing really good ball recently. Just starting a stretch against some overall soft competition so a good chance to string some winning together.

I no longer get excited by Jalens occassional hot stretches, but as always I still hope that he's turned a corner.

 

Jalen having his best stretch in a while.

 

Jalen Green drives me crazy because If he was shooting 35-36% from three, the discourse would be totally different. He is improving at everything else

 

This game was a feast for the eyes Blazers might be tanking but not giving a chance to opponent counts.

 

I think VV deserves a low key shout out.
"Steady" Freddy hit half his threes (4-8), had 10 assists with zero turnovers and had a +12 +/-. GG!

 

Greens poster on Simons

Is Simons alive?

 

This stats would be really good against top teams.. Was not a tough game for him..

 

FOUR blocks at 6'7" isn't shabby either.

 

He wishes he was never born.

 

great 2nd half effort to take it to 25 pages. Great job guys.

 

10 assists, 0 turnovers, 50% 3PT probably only happens 10 times/season across the league.

VV had an awesome game by said metric regardless of opponent.

 

u can tell when a certain player does well and we win the haters arent endlessly btching to inflate the game thread pages

 

I was at MODA Center tonight, and that dunk had the whole building buzzing for a few minutes.

 

100% at least by engagement, some people seems happier when we lose. They feel validated I guess.

 

Right I was under the impression that he didn't work with him as intimately as he used to. Like I remember a few years ago when he was having a bad month, jl worked with him on his shot and he went on a year

 

Can confirm this!

 

lol even the Blazers commentator couldn't contain his amazement



courtside view

 

Jalen has more than enough talent to be as good or better than Ant.

Not sure if it's just a work ethic issue or what if his jumper was consistent he'd be a lock for a max extension.
