ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 1/2/2023

KPJ should be cut.

 

New Year - Same curmudgeons looking for scapegoats. Same tired finger pointing. Same obtuse expectations of "wins" during the tank. Same ol' Clutch Fans. All the appeals for coming together as a fanbase gone in 1 game!!! LMAO When we win SOFs are mad. When we lose SOFs are mad. Fake team fans mixed in with clueless casuals who think removing one guy or adding one guy was going to make a difference this year.

"new year new me"

 

BAM!

 

Not to mention the blatant lane violation thst shoulda been called.

 

I don't think you get it. The complaints about Sengun and utilizing him isn't about winning and losing. We could still lose that way. It s about culture. The rockets just play better team ball when he touches it. Much more flowing offense. Jabari gets touches. More conductive of winning in the future. We don't want to see this iso centric offense anymore. We had 8 years of the best iso offense in the world with Harden and didn't win. Let's try something else.

 

Ughhh more Sengun. You guys really think one guy is the cure for this team huh? Its like talking to a wall. Do you feel Sengun needs the most development on this team? I think once some of you make peace and understand the true nature of the season that you will be able to enjoy and isolate positives instead of just barking out the most obvious observations as if the rest of the world cant see them. If you havent noticed championship teams are built with at least one guy who can isolate and get you buckets in the most critical times. For us we dont know who that is yet because most of these guys cant even go buy themselves a brew after the game. These guys are the worst shooting team in the whole NBA who's fault is that?

 

He will be. When we get our next coaching staff.

 

Issue goes back to KPj and Gordon. They can't play in a system of more ball movement. KPj isn't a good cutter and only knows how to play one way. His two man game with anyone looks unnatural and he's not a good athlete. Can't break anyone down off the dribble and gets walled often. So the defense isn't stressed and 24 seconds are now 10 seconds. He then passes it hurriedly to someone taking a contested 3 or 2. Gordon is better but still not as good as KJ who is a very natural cutter, rebounder and blocker.

Silas wants to shoehorn an iso centric offense while Stone drafted players that don't thrive there. It doesn't matter who we draft either because even if we replace KPj, no one in this locker room respects Silas. Him and his adopted son need to go.

 

thats why i never watch the rockets games...its pointless...just alpis highlights

 

but why? hes young, with a lot of potential, and i think hes ona nice little contract and can be a valuable piece in a lesser role or traded for something...hes not the problem but weak people that cant reign him in...within the right system and envoronment favoring team play and defense i bet you any money he can be a wonderful cog in a winning machinery...

 

Silas:


How about we do some more 5 out!

 

This is a joke right?

 

Since nobody embraces the "lets try" aspect of a fanbase I'll just keep going in on these groupies.

SOFs:

 

Sengun didnt even have great positioning there.

 

No joke. Ty Ty isn't ready for those minutes just yet. Those minutes should go to Nix because he was starting to build a good chemistry with the 2nd squad. Still too early to give Ty Ty that time. It shows.

 

Just watched the game. Defense for offense typically works when you sub back the offensive payer when on offense and not with 10 seconds left in the game. Silas thinks he makes these sneaky high IQ decisions, but in reality they are terrible.

We we struggling to score in the 4th quarter without Goon, so Big Brain Silas thinks we need more defense in clutch time. Our offense goes to **** without Goon. This was one of the most infuriating calls I have seen Silas make and that is saying a lot. What an idot.
