ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/14/2024 (Vegas)

This team with MDA would be well under .500. And MDA would vomit watching his team miss open shot after open shot

 

Our “superstar” was punked by a backup - quick mention Jalen Green.

 

if these teams only took 3s and layups then we'll be dead last in standings

 

Udoka needs to bring FVV and Jalen in a room together tonight and let them know one of them is going to have to come off the bench. They can flip a coin or thumb wrestle, idgaf. I'm tired of this Mini-Me ass backcourt. They've never had good chemistry together.

 

All of the main shooters shot better than 36%.

 

MDA would not be quick to take the job.

He always had a veteran star player.

In fact he would be lining up for the Thunder, Boston, Cavs' jobs but would get turned down because those teams are rolling.

 

That and he needs to learn how to play basketball

 

If FVV is still injured, it’s ok to rest. Better that and let Amen get some reps at the 1 than look like a chump shooting the ball (and hurting the team with lack of size and reduced mobility)

I know he’s far better than what he’s shown the last few games, but I can’t help being a little upset at how he seemingly hijacks the offense at times and/or slows it down for no reason. Turnovers are fine if they’re pushing the pace, safe isn’t always best

 

more shots more chances at a better percentage. it's math.

 

Technically true if you include all of our vets who aren't apart of the core. Jeff Green is the oldest player in the league next to CP3 and Lebron. They've been rebuilding probably twice as long as us though.

 

Way too many poor offensive possessions. I can give Sengun a pass because he really plays hard on both ends (most of the time). He had a very hard time passing out of late doubles, especially when the trap comes as he turns to the baseline. I really dont doubt that he figures it out sooner than Jalen Green. What a disappointing player. All the tools, but he is very inconsistent. If the Rockets have a chance to upgrade at the 2 - man you gotta think about it.

But this loss and especially the poor offensive play all has to start from your PG. So many poor possessions leading to one of the worst shooting games I have seen all season. I wish they gave more post entry plays for Jabari today. Jabari played well today.

 

Yeah D’antoni did wonders with Harden, but he needs a star lead guard for his offense to work. We saw what D’Antoni’s vaunted offense looked like with Chris Duhon running the point in New York and it wasn’t pretty.

 

He’s been bad all season besides 1 or 2 games

 

Ime coaches Defense, D'Antoni coaches Offense.

It's not that complicated, right?

 

Frederick is 29-87 in his last 6 games

 

im not saying THIS team should do this. 2018 harden team was built to take layups and 3's

 

Make or miss league.

Agreed, our squad was legit all around.

 

the threes are wide open. starting backcourt just can't make them

 

Sad thing is this game was very winnable....just a total collapse by almost the whole team....the shooting by our guards is ATROCIOUS ...FVV 1/11 from 3 and Jalen 1/8...2 threes out of 19
