ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 11/18/2024

Fred VanVleet is 6'0.

Would've rather have 6'7 Amen Thompson throwing the ball to Alperen Sengun.

No common sense with Ime Udoka. Very costly, the Western Conference is 1 game difference in standings.

 

Great Learning Moment, Playoff Atmosphere. Great Experience for the Younger Players. Loud Crowd, Hostile Environment.

It was a Plus, that they get this experience and it was Great they fought back.

 

There are moments I miss Hakeem Olajuwon and the 1993 -1995 Team.

Especially Coach Rudy Tomjanovich in Clutch Situations late in the 4th on offense and defense, drawing up plays, saying foul while up 3 and play a Free Throw game.

 

Doris Burke contributing to Lowest Ratings in the NBA. Nagging, Negative.

Adam Silver not watching games and not listening closely of how negative the Announcers are on Home or Away. Most of them are Negative. It is contributing the Lowest Ratings.

 

There has to a option of Game Sound Only and No Announcers.

I have no doubt if People do that survey, Announcers will not be needed in Games.

Rockets Ryan Hollins AYYYYEEEEE and Laughing Hysterically on dunks is the most annoying thing to listen to. Just be quiet and listen to the Dunk Slam.

Craig Ackerman is so boring and distracted and just on dumb stories, while Jalen Green makes a Tough Dunk. Craig absolutely didn't care or pay attention.

Just a Horrible Broadcast Team. Stay Focused on every play.

 

Doris is awful. simply the best….at being awful

They need to know that when Adams sets a screen, he isn't gonna roll fast enough to catch a pass. You've got to keep the ball either drive, take a pull up shot, or pass to someone else. And the screen is usually good enough to give you a path to drive inside.

 

100% - said it when it was happening, why is the shortest guy passing it in, that is a lack of attention to detail which costs you games.

I love the broadcast team.
Craig Ackerman is hilarious man.
He throws so many little inside jokes in there.

 

It was a Bucks defensive mistake. Two guys ran to the corner to cover Dillon, leaving Jalen free so Giannis had to choose between him and Alpi. If the Bucks played it right (Green on Green all the way), Sengun would have Giannis on him under the basket. I am guessing that's what FVV thought and he tried to lob it over the Giannis who wasn't there.

 

Gianni’s steps out of bound after the kick onsengun at 5:12. Should’ve been our possesion

 

Good to know. Still, every time he plays us he's daggers.

 

Call me delusional but I'm hopeful that we will learn more from this as a loss than if we were able to squeak it out.

 

12 pts by Lopez on Sengun
5 pts by his original matchup.

Did you not watch 4th quarter? Sengun contested and altered 2 shots from Greekfreak, 2 shots from Dame. Stole the ball from Brook, got his paws on another one that changed possession. Huge reason they took the 6 pt lead, late.
And if you rewatch the home broadcast, final timeout. Ime clearly says "Alpi" to the entire group. Personally, I'd have Green shoot the final shot because he was the only one missing less in the 4th. The hatred from some of you people is odd. I'd understand if Alpi was an evil psychopath,

 

It's only one Rocketschamp, I would not take him seriously.

 

Do you watch the games? He is atrocious out there and moves like his feet are stuck in cement.

 

maybe, but FVV provides a safety valve that Amen can't.

You have FVV in there, because the inbounder is still one of the most important shooters, even with 2 seconds left.

One of the actions, should the defense not make a mistake (like they did) is for Green to come get the ball for an immediate pitch to Fred. Green is likely the only guaranteed player to get open for the inbounds, since he was running away from the basket. So, that's the safety. Green comes to Fred to get the ball, and if Green is still closely followed by his defender, he pitches to Fred, who would typically ball-fake the inbound defender to get separation for the pitch or DHO from Green.

 

L2M report out yet?

 

As predicted

 

I’m surprised usually they also say there was a foul they missed the other way to make it look even.
