ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 1/20/2025

Because he has barely played. Same reason when alex bregman started lousy for a few games i didn't write him off, same reason i don't think guys like sarr and castle are hopeless, same reason i didn't think jabari was hopeless, same reason i didn't think amen was hopeless, etc.

 

I love that we lost to a team that plays Simone Foccaccio

 

So the Wizards and Raptors are the reason the West is stronger? You do realize the Jazz, Pelicans, and Trail Blazers are in the West?

Sit down, and watch the Natty game. You are embarrassing yourself.

Go B1G!

Where is the SEC tonite? Bahahahahahaha!

 

Unfortunately the Cunningham struck back.

 

I agree with the part about "the TRUE contenders" continuing to rise and the pretenders fall, because it's just common sense. can't keep it from happening.

And it's true that a few teams in the East are equal to the best of the West, no argument. Your Bucks aren't one of them, but yeah, the Celts, Cavs, Knicks are def up there. Better than OKC, Memphis, Dallas? We'll see. But none of this means the East is better than the West. In fact, that's demonstrably incorrect, and the fact that you keep crowing about it makes you a pathetic, albeit funny, person. Engaging with you is like teasing a cat. A little mean-spirited but it doesn't take much to get the predictable reactions.

By the way, I have family in WI and they're good people, so I know not all of you are @sshats. I did some corporate recruiting at the University of Wisconsin once, and you'd be amazed at how excited the kids were at the possibility of leaving. Good kids.

 

The East are a tad top heavy but they do not have the depth the West has......

In the West the 10th and 11th seed hover around a winning record and a Play In spot.

The NBA should abolish East and West and go with the best 16 records.

 

This. How many times today and in the past games have we seen these? They need to have fast break drills on just the fundamentals of the fast break.

 

Indeed. In the first half of the game, Alpi didn't seem to even try to defend the rim. He looked very lazy and lackadaisical on both ends of the floor. He and Jalen must have been hearing or reading too much about how good they are and believe it to the detriment of their mindset during games. They might need to be benched again just to make a point.

 

Rockets just weren’t interested today and ended up playing catchup the entire afternoon. I was actually surprised at how much we missed Adams.

 

Or they are taxed and gassed early on, should not be an excuse but I have taken that into account.

You are right that Alperen is missing something this season and he is not playing as well as we expected him to before this season.

 

Cade even said on all you mfers after his dunk lol. No payback chance until next season, dude is just jealous Jalen got a better team than him.

 

Cade kicked our ass. Our defensive identity is weakening.

 

Another month till All Star break.... I see limping to the finishing line.

 

Injuries, minutes, and day start caught up to the teams. We need some juice, maybe expand the rotation on the road trip. Ask more on Tate and Unc for the next week or so.

 

You sure? Pistons not far behind the Rockets, and rising.

Let's see where the Rockets are after the next 5 games. This thing can go south fast.

 

He has played 30 games what do yo mean he has barely played? Jabari and Amen didn't score 3 ppg for 30 games are you high or what? Why does you thinking Amen or Jabari aren't hopeless matter here?

I also don't think Sheppard is hopeless and I haven't written him off. What does Sheppard possible being good IN THE FUTURE have to do with him winning this Pistons game?

You think Sheppard gonna save this game when he is shooting 28% from 3 and 31% from the field?

 

He's played 360 minutes dude.....saying he's played 30 games is just you pushing your bullshit agenda because you hate the dude, nothing more. It's fine, everyone is allowed to hate whoever they want and obviously you like to lie as you did with the warriors injury madeup nonsense, it's your shtick.

 

Nah it's you pushing your own agenda. 30 games means he had 30 chances to show he was a good player and he didn't that's why he has little minutes. If he played better then he would get the minutes so why are you acting like it isn't Sheppard's fault he isn't getting the minutes? Udoka gave Sheppard multiple chances but if Sheppard is so bad he is shooting 30% fromt he field should Udoka still play him 30 mins a game even if the team loses? Why don't you use your brain?

You are the one who likes to lie acting like GSW were never injured. "All GSW player were available for all but one game" means nobody was injured? Having a sprained knee and dislocated finger is not being injured? Keep lying.

But I'm not surprised because ignoring what other people say is your schtick.

 

Ironically both Bucks and the Rockets have the same amount of remaining tough games according to Tankathon page.
