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

Actually one other player this year had that many minutes without a rebound, so Jalen's 39 minutes without a single rebound wasn't a record this year.

 

this game is on Ime... Let's not blame our players because of terrible rotations of our head coach.

 

we could use KPJ in a game like this
even the defence on grant

 

We played good enough to win this game. Green had a good first half then the second half fell to the ground. FVV played too much minutes and Ime should have played Amen a little bit more. Sengun was fine most of the game except giving up too many offensive rebounds down the stretch. Cam didn't get enough minutes while Holliday got too much. They wanted to get Jalen going in the first half and we were still losing while Jalen was going - something was wrong. The coaching staff ran Sengun handoff on Holidays and Brooks and we were able to match the 3P made with the Blazers most of the game until Simons got hot.

At the end of the day, this is the same thing over and over - if you can't make wide open 3 point shot, this team won't go too far. Rozier only caused a late first rounder + fillers, there's no reason Stone can't upgrade the SG position. This is not a hate on Green, he's not complementary with Sengun. We need someone who can knock down open shots on the SG position, maybe just let Cam shift in that spot and try if that works out. We need a backup center that allows us to play big and small lineup. The worst case scenario is if we don't do anything in the trade deadline.

 

This loss is on Udoka. Should have played Amen more, should have cut Jalen's mins.

 

I think he totally blew coverage on the three-pointer at the buzzer, forcing FVV to run out at the last second.

 

So does the Texans medical treatment. The Texans players had standing room only for medical treatment with so many guys going in and out. So does the Astros medical treatment. Look at McCullers. He played 8 games last year and said he probably won't be ready to play until late summer.

 

Ewww

 

Very bad game from Dillon, too. Good shooting but subpar defense and some costly turnovers caused by poor decision making.

 

Yes he could have driven his car into the Blazer's bus and we could have postponed this embarrassment of a game.

 

Not the first time, and won't be the last, but he does have his positive points. Sometimes I wonder if his player selection at times is being forced fed to him by the guys above him to desperately try to save face on picks.

 

It was the last two seconds. There were 3 points between Rockets and PTR. Just a single foul was enough to win the game. Enough is enough. This game is on udoka

 

What about the pull up threes that a couple of players took without waiting for their teammates to get back after a turnover. This kind of play is really bad if you don't make the shot. Especially if you could drive and get an easy two

 

Holiday took one of these. Really frustrating stuff.

 

Shooting 50 per cent isn't inefficient

The team all played bad team defence. You have to work as a unit

 

You can't win when JG has 2/7 and FVV has 2/10 for three..
JG needs to improve his efficiency.. otherwise 29 points is just an illusion: more he scores simply means more the Rockets looses..
You can only win with better shooting even if you are bad with D like tonight.. Disappointing...

 

He doesn't pass much, so you know he is going to put the shot up at some point

 

I wasn’t responding to you, not sure how it quoted you. Was responding to himbasketball who said Tari, Bari, Cam, and Amen are the only players worth keeping.

 

Fred had ample time to foul and save this game. Why didn't he??

 

It's full of guys in the medical room even some cheerleader player
Anyone know whats issue cause Reggie Robber Bullock or Jae'Sean Useless Tate cant play the game？
