ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/13/2023

I don’t know where he ranks in the all time list, but I am enjoying the daylights out of watching his work so far.

 

#17 - Mario Elie, PJ Tucker, Tari Eason... great lineage (I'll ignore Charlie Ward and Brent Barry)

 

YESSIR

 

Charlie, thanks for reminding me of him. I liked watching him in both sports.

 

Also Kevin Bass and Lance Berkman but who’s counting

 

Didn't watch the game, but damn that boy Tari might have that dawg in him

Even Jabari showing some heart. Maybe we crowned Sengun and Green to quickly

 

I think this may be an unpopular opinion that I have, but I honestly believe this 4th quarter benching(s) will be good for Alpi and Jalen. Having a long leash is good for building confidence in some ways, but you don’t get rid of bad habits by being allowed to do them over and over again.

If we were a bottom feeder again, then yes…**** around all you want—but this team has suddenly and surprisingly become a winning basketball team without our younger guys having necessarily learned how to win yet.

Out of all of our signings, and despite great play from our new vets, our biggest acquisition this offseason has been IME UDOKA

 

Thrilled that we've managed to win 2 games in a row when Sengun played poorly.

Eason getting more comfortable with every game.

 

I trust and do not doubt Ime’s work

 

Sweet Dreams to all the doomers! Better luck next game!

 

1) If you are not playing well, Udoka will bench you.

2) Tari Eason breaking out: needs at least 30 minutes of pt per game. Winning basketball plays and needed energy.

3) I don't know what the Rockets will do with JG4. Cam is waiting in the wings, aiming for that 2 guard job.

 

Never really felt like we were in danger of losing even when they got close. A good win in that it shows we can still find a way to win by a big margin against bad/depleted teams even when our best players play poorly. We are deep and well-coached and that will get it done.

 

There’s the way back! Glenn Davis, Billy Doran, Alan Ashby

 

Can we change the mascot from that teddy bear to a mean ass scruffy Junkyard Dog with the #17 jersey on in honor of our junkyard dogs Elie and Eason?

 

Culture and Coaching matter. This is Exhibit A for proving that up.

 

If you had any idea about basketball you would understand that the subject was Ime's late rotation. He did at the 4th and the game was won easily.

You did not understand the basic fact but still accusing me. What level is ignorance this? Jaw dropping one I guess.

 

I dig Uncle Jeff, and he was a difference maker when he came in, making a huge impact, but it was Tari Eason who turned this game around. Big time.
