ClutchFans Game Thread: Bucks @ Rockets 12/16/2017

Surprised at how average he looks

 

Maybe it's just me, but it's like he's considered by a lot of people some sort of boarderline all star, or better than he really is anyway just cause he had a couple of good games backing up CP 5/6 years ago in the playoff in L.A...other than that i don't know, to me he really is a poor man Westbrook, chucks up a lot of bad shots, turns the ball over in dumb ways, can't make other players better (and he's a pg), not consistent as a shooter, injury prone, and i don't even see his great defense like some people were saying in the past (maybe injuries screwed him a bit here too)...in Phoenix when he was healty he didn't make any difference, empty stats basically...and he's also going to get paid in 18 months, that's why i don't get why the Bucks traded for him, granted, they trade a mid-late 1st and a dead contract like Monroe so, nothing big, but personally, i would've let Brogdon play with the starting 5 while keeping the pick and some cap space for the free agency. I guess the Bucks tought that by making this trade they were going to make a substantial improvement as a team, but i don't really see it happening because of Bledsoe, in fact i don't even think he's a good fit with Giannis but i guess we'll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Small sample size, Bledsoe is a tad far from being among the best PGs but he brings a good ball handler next to Giannis.

 

I guess so, but we'll see going forward how it turns out, especially if/when Parker will come back and eat a lot of possessions, that's another reason why i like Brogdon more for them.

 

GOATS

 

That's about a 60 dollar bottle of wine on wine.com so if he got that at a restaurant... probably dropped way more than I'd be comfortable dropping.

 

Ugh, it sucks to see James play hurt after how he was looking right before the Lillard knee in Portland.

The Portland game and the string of games of prior is some of the BEST I've ever seen Jim look.

 

Still feel that way? Because in my book, CP3 just iced this thing for us.

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one seeing this. It's like Kidd wanted to dare the referees to blow the whistle if his guys were going to "play hard". Aka: foul frequently while playing close enough for some stuff not to be seen.

It seemed like it didn't stop until Harden and CP3 started swinging thru arms and forcing calls. The defense was still there, but when the hands had to go down, their defense suddenly wasn't effective. So basically they were just skirting the rules. EGo and A3za need to learn how to do that arm swing move too.

How was it watching this game from your end? Were you torn or were you like 'f-- the Rockets'?

 

I'm glad you're not the head coach. I'm loving this win streak! Are you opposed to enjoying crow?

 

Bucks foul average this year is 22 per game. Even though that's one of the highest in the league it's not even near close to the 34 they commited vs Houston and their fouls are not so blatant hacking. Mostly it's tiki taka fouls or stupid fouls not going out there and beating up their opponent like we are back to hand checking.
It was clearly a move of desperation because of all the pressure Kidd is under.

As for me I was VERY dissapointed that it was a close game. Too bad Harden wasn't well. I wanted a 20 or 30 pnt win.
It's an operation to take out a tumour and it needs pain and blood. So I hope they don't win another game until he can GTFO. Mchale compared to him is a savvant.

 

Malcolm Brogdon should learn from good PGs, he continuess to dazzle, he needs to do it against elite competition and in the playoffs.

 

pls someone do the photoshop properly i think its an awesome idea!

 

Yeah, but the guy even though not very young (and not a pg, but he can play that spot in a team with a player like Giannis) is still only in his second year so, i would've like to see him staying in the starting five longer to see the development even if i understand he might not have that much of upside left.

 

Team looked tired, def looked like we were short handed. Glad they pulled out a win!
