ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 11/13/2024

Fun game to watch!
Glad Harden & Kpj took that L. Ha Ha

Harden did all that team hopping just to end up on a team with an injured star & now its just him & a bunch of role players not anywhere closer to a ring

Overall great dub Amen future DPOY

Go Rockets!

 

I know we getting W's but Jabari annoys me bricking wide open shots it's madness a pro shooting somethings like 15% on wide open 3's

That handle hasn't improved he still makes bone headed plays careless turnovers & bricking. Wtf does he work on in the offseason.

 

It is all about confidence. To his credit he is still playing hard on defense and on the boards. He has especially upped his game on the offensive boards. Patience is key right now. Wow imagine a 21 year old nba player in a shooting slump having confidence issues. We gave Jalen 3 years of horrible play to turn it around. I think we should give Jabari more than 12 games.

 

It's crazy because we've had some incredible defensive wings on the Rockets over the years. From Mario Elie to Shane Battier to Ron Artest to Trevor Ariza and the one fantastic season with Prince Luc. But I'm pretty sure Tari and Amen, who are still practically children, are the best of them.

I also think this is the most athletic team we've ever had in all of my time as a Rockets fan. The only team I can think of that might have an argument was the teams with Olajuwon, Maxwell and Kenny?

I'm pretty sure that Amen, Jalen, Tari and Cam (who isn't even getting minutes) are all top 30 athletes in the NBA right now.

 

It reminds me of the year we had both Battier and Artest together, except now we have three of those guys in Brooks, Amen, and Eason. Amazing.

 

I've just finished reading all the posts. Up until page 40, nonstop whining from the posters. Jeez, if you cannot handle this $hit, watch the game once it ends. The posts looked like, the posters got scolded by their wives or whatever, and posters tried to take it out on the team. Chill bitc hes...

 

You actually read everything?

 

Tari is incredible.

Tari + Amen is so damn fun to watch.

Sengun stood on business with that sequence to seal the game at the end.

 

, I did, I wish I haven't. There were some good basketball related posts but mostly people throwing a fit. I am ok with people criticizing but nonstop whining takes the fun out of reading the forum. Once again I am referring to the posts up until page 40.

 

Haha, imagine if women could actually comment on the downs of a baby birth way before it ends.

 

Well, women are pretty badass during pregnancy and birth. However they make up for the missing whining in the years to follow. Married people would understand what I am saying...

 

What happened, can you elaborate?

 

Proving the point that you’re just a box score watcher who doesn’t know ball. Do you even watch the games or just look at the box score.

 

He’s slow and a defensive liability so far

 

The game thread is for people to rant, just like going to a bar to watch games. You hear people cheer when something good happens and then they curse and moan when a guy is doing bad in the game. That there are people talking smack at each other, and so on. It's not a place for serious analysis.

 

If we can get the brains of Battier, Ariza, or Horry in the bodies of Amen and Eason, look out, league.

 

Amen has the brain. If only he had Battier's corner shot. (Last night he made to of them, yay!)

Tari is more wild than brainy. But that's how he is so disruptive when he is on the floor.

 

If they can keep growing in their understanding of positional defense and they have their defensive attacking skills and athletcism. Wow. It's pretty exciting to see them feed on each other's energy.
