ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 1/24/2024

So we going in on Mikal Bridges soon?

 

This is exactly what I was going to say. It's going to be a shot over the top so let's have our 5ft 4 guard out there

 

He’s a 21 year-old. You expect him to carry the team? He’s only overrated if you’re calling him a top 10 player right now, which he’s not. If you’re calling him an up and coming star, you’re not overrating him. What is it here with people being either way to the right or left on things. Even with Jalen Green, the hate at this point in his career is silly. Tonight he showed why you stick with him. A little maturity with him will go a long way, be patient.

 

Did you pay someone max money to bench him? Lol

I mean if your answer is yes, the mistake was made already

 

Here's a weird stat. Little Fred has 6 blocks in his last 2 games.

 

If you insist on not dictating your superiority against a weaker team, they eventually get hot from the three and defeat you. And you can't catch up because none of your players can't fcking shoot the three.

We were already having trouble with rebounding, without Bari it became a shitshow. Defense and shooting continue to be problems for us. Disappointing game from Fred. This L stinks.

 

Yeah, one game is one game, this one sucks.

Think they play the Blazers 3 more times. If you generally win your series against most teams you'll find yourself in the playoffs (or play-in I should say), so they better get 3 back from this bad Portland team.

 

Come back Tari…

 

This is not on Green.

He wasn’t even on the floor when we did a piss poor job of guarding the 3 point line leading to OT

 

.. what? I am talking about Jalen Green

 

Every single thing posted here, exact opposite If Jerami Grant missed a buzzer three off the glass…

 

I can't hate on vanfleet too much bc coach played him 45 minutes. I thought amen did decent when he was out there no idea why he didn't play more so that van fleet didn't have to play as much. Or play holiday more with other players so vanfleet is not running out there with another pg on the floor. Just not a smart usage of him and it showed down the stretch

 

You know -when was the last time we had EVERYONE healthy? So before people start proposing at getting some of our players out of here, let’s evaluate this team when everyone is out there. We desperately need Eason out there ASAP and hopefully Jabari will be back the next game.

 

What was his TS%, what was his overall FG shot chart?

Did he shoot 6/24 or 10/24 or 12/24?

If he made half of those attempts I don't see the big deal besides not going to FT line much, but we all hope for 33+pts if you do take 24 attempts, it is what it be

 

I sure miss Bari and Tari.

 

His rebounding would have definitely helped.

 

Semguin is the real.deal man. I think the team hurts him by not using him properly and not having spacing around him. I don't know how you can hate on him. He is a great player and plays with heart.

 

Portland had 12 wins. If you really need your complete full team to beat them well that tells a lot about this team

 

some nights you don't get in the right spots to grab them. Portland is big as well. Ayton had 17. He had a good game anyway

 

You wouldn’t make it long as a GM. Although I suspect you like stirring up trouble and you’re actually smarter than that.
