ClutchFans Game Thread: Hawks @ Rockets 11/25/2022

What he actually said:

"We n gu tk dsrsp. Ev. No ma who it is n we alw gu ha eachoh ba, tho a ma brus."

 

@Jontro translation.

 

ESPN highlights Trae's 44 points. Atlanta LOST you idiots.

 

Went to the game and the crowd was seriously into it late. I don’t know if it was the scuffle or just so sick of losing, probably both. The other home game I went to this year was the Jazz win, so I’m 2-0.

Both wins were against winning teams with Sengun out, Jalen going for 25+, Jabari playing some 5 and going for 21 and 9.

 

With that being said, I highly encourage you to go to tonight’s game

 

Jabari hasn’t shot well yet and his dribble isn’t good enough to just go to the basket…. But he has been the strongest leader and doesn’t take any mess. He has pride and respect and had laid it down on KPJ and Green in practice. He is the one letting the other young players to play hard and respect each other.

Not surprised that he didn’t appreciate what Murray did…. We don’t want to be like the Hawks, and Jabari brings the edge the Rockets need.

Silas is a pushover but Smith isn’t.

 

didnt watch the game dont care if we win

 

@ashleyem
FIRE SILAS! (AND LUCAS TOO!)

 

No.

 

Jabari is growing up right before our eyes. He is realizing he cant be soft and always needs to go hard to the rim. You can totally see this with his reb nos which has steadily been climbing.


Silas is a great coach for these guys you can see good development for a lot of our young kids.

 

Jabari is the enforcer everyone thought Fernando would be.

He has been that emotional leader from day one.

 

He doesn’t just go along with the fun and games that Green and Porter play in practice and during games. Smith apparently figured out pretty early that the Rockets leadership was weak and he didn’t want any part of it.
The Rockets lack strong leadership and ultimately your best players need to provide it or at least learn to or be influenced into following it.

 

You getting season tickets next year, right?

 

you need to watch again, they had a couple of moments where they bodied up players. Green especially did it to Trae as he was bigger. Porter Jnr also had 4 deflections

 

Right Now the players are really young, I would say Most of the Rockets are Alpha Males.

Alperen Sengun - Runs Team Plays and Low Post
Jalen Green - Scoring, Passing
Jabari Smith - Unicorn
Tari Eason - Hidden Gem
Porter - Slowly Developing
KJ Martin- Hustle
Usman Garuba - Hustle
Tyty Washington - Old School PG game

 

Nice discussion from the enemies side.

Much translates to the Rockets point of view or side

*arguing about Isolations
*Disappointment in coaching
*Coaches letting players do whatever they want
*Politics
*Guys standing around
*Pecking order
*Running plays
*Rebounding
*Pure point guards (I'm saying pure point guards are disappearing)
*John Collins doesn't play defense
*Etc, etc



and they are 5th seed as of today in the East.
