ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 10/31/2024

I don't want to watch offense drought again.

Coach needs to be smarter on rotation.

 

Lost in the almost choking the lead part is the fact that we absolutely dominated a finals contender on the boards and on defense for three and a half quarters. We have a SQUAD this year.

Strange decisions by Ime and a very poor FVV game almost cost us the game, but luckily we hit some clutch shots of our own! This definitely would’ve been a loss last year…but now, we persevere!

We really have to play Freddy fewer minutes though. His stat line (and plus minus) was absolutely woeful this game

 

If Green can limit the turnovers man....he really had that bad stretch at the end of the second.

 

Nah you are the bum the last thing we need are some clowns like you trying to make drama between JG and Alpi.

You are so dumb you dont know a game is 4 quarters long? Who you think got all the Mavs bigs in foul trouble which enabled the small ball rotation?

Ime is blind as a bat kept playing FVV even if he was the worst player on the floor so clearly you didnt know what you are talking about.

 

I think these kinds of wins are very valuable. They help build a winning mentality.

 

You are the Franchise Player.

 

Green didn't shoot well and still somehow ended up with 23 points. That's a star trait -- they find a way to put up points even when the shot isn't going in.

 

Man, idk man I really REALLY freaking believe in Amen. @Nook I think if that jumper just gets right, I'm talking true superstar.

 

25? pffff
c'mon never underestimate the heart of rox meme squad

 

It’s not about drama between two guys, it’s up to Ime to keep Alpi moving off the ball(setting offball screens, spotting up etc.) instead of posting him up which clogs the lane. Shut yo b**** ass up now ok?

 

Put up shots when the team really needed it also in the fourth. Green has consistently showed up in the fourth this season and doing spectacular plays in the fourth.

 

And played 17 mins. Ime tried to sh*t that game away

 

Both Green and Alpi had very good bits and sloppy bits. Both produced elsewhere even when they weren't generating loads of buckets, I'll take it.

 

I don’t think the problem was holding back Amen and Tari. I think the main rotational issue was when he took Jalen out when he, Adams, Tari and Amen were absolutely wreaking havoc on the court in the third. Fred came in, played his slow brand of offense, and the momentum screeched to a halt for us.

In my mind, that was absolutely the wrong decision at the time, though luckily it didn’t end up costing us the game

 

I thought everyone except Fred and maybe Jabari played well tonight. Fred and Bari just missing too many open threes.

Jalen continuing his great play to start the season, what impressed me most tonight (other than that clutch three at the end) was his grit on defense and rebounding. He needs to watch the sloppy turnovers.

Alpi for some reason doesn't have the soft touch yet this season he always had. Hopefully that will improve soon. Maybe all that strength training and the long break have something to do with that. Other than that, I thought he played a solid game, especially with regards to defense and rebounding.

Amen and Tari did what they do best.

And Brooks might have just been the MVP tonight!

 

Once Tari and Amen were inserted the momentum shifted on our favor
Great win!

 

It is...he'll get nit straightened out though.

 

Don’t look now. But Rox are 4th in the standings with this win. Home Court! Lol

 

100% agree. This is the fire we need to be able to win when our 2 stars aren't scoring buckets galore. Everybody has down games, see James Harden playoff performances for painful references.

 

No you shut you ass up you clown.

You clearly didnt watch the game just tuned last two minutes and started moaning and b****ing. Shut your crap Alpi had 17/12/4 stfu dumbass.
