ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 12/22/2021

He's gotten so much better at everything on offense since the summer league, except maybe midrange because he was always solid there

 

Yeah no awareness on both ends.

 

They didn't drink carrot juice

 

Okay, well you're free to post about Queen needing more minutes. I don't see what that has to do with saying Garuba should see minutes during a blowout because there's no use putting Wood back in when we're down 20 in the 4th. If you feel that's too much clamoring for Garuba, then by all means ignore it.

Sengun complaints were valid. He's a guy you gave up 2 FRPs for, were obviously high on, and has shown flashes. This is a development year. Sengun should, for all intents and purposes, be viewed closer to Green than Garuba. Now granted, he can't stay on the court with all his fouling, but even before that he just wasn't seeing the court at all, which made no sense during a prolonged losing streak.

 

I thought I saw Alpi block Cousins - why is that not in the box score?

 

You can't move Dwert onto us white folk, he's one of yours whether you like it or not.

 

They're trying to make sure their best player since Kareem doesn't leave like he did. I can't blame them

 

He made a dumb play complaining to refs after a missed layup instead of running back to defend Cousins which resulted in him fouling Cousins from behind. Rockets were down 7 before that point and Bucks seemed to pull away after that. Wood also made couple dumb plays along with missed FT’s. I would like to see Wood traded really. The guy just has no awareness on defense and a selfish player on offense along with bad character.

 

I think Armoni is better off coming in the bench and switch him with Martin, JC or Alpi

 

This game was literally a complete replay of the Chicago game. From the second quarter on literally looked like the same game. Rockets start hitting shot and closing the gap and Bulls/Bucks start dropping 3's and Rockets can't do shhh to stop them. Defense is Turruble.

 

Garuba is going to get his chance at being a Rookie next year. They'll be saying he was buried on the bench most of the year and now we get a chance to see what he can do. Dude looks like Frankenstein's monster running around out there. Clueless and sloppy.

 

I'm white you ****ing racist.

 

Not a great game, but still fun to watch. They just got out played. My only real problem was how Brooks got postered and basically taunted two times on the same play and nobody handed the other guy his ass for it. I mean Wood kind of did on that monster dunk, but I would have liked to see some more payback for that one. You can’t tolerate getting clowned like that.

 

I questioned this pick from day one. A head scratcher for me

 

Cousins put 18 on his with no defensive lateral quickness. We should have made him pay on pick n rolls. This proves we need to just tank!

 

Well that's on the coaches too, don't you think?
How about a little motivation? How about holding players accountable for mistakes?

 

Is it the one cousins had to pull the ball back to avoid alpi’s block and got blocked from behind?

 

Wouldn’t mind seeing Green play more at the small forward spot. His game reminds me a little of Latrell Sprewell. Green can work on his dribble more, New York played he and Allen Houston together seemed to work out well.
Woods - Sengun
Banchero - Tate
Green- Martin
KPJ - Brooks
Josh C - Augustin

 

I’ve wondered about that too, but I don’t think he’s strong enough and would get destroyed on defense. Maybe once he develops some.

 

I agree- however he will never be a “a average defender” he will always be regulated to a below average. His arms are relatively short by NBA standards. Wingspan is 6’7 in half. His best defense will be his offense.
