ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 12/15/2021

I wouldn't take more away from this game than we need to.

Look, it was a brutal loss. The team just felt out of sorts all night. Pressing, unable to get stops or string together baskets. Lots of iso ball, forced shots, frustration and fouling. It happens, especially for a young team like ours.

Cleveland's a good team, but I don't think the gap is as large as tonight suggested. Combination of them being better + us just not having it.

Key will be to see how this team responds next game, and I'm looking forward to seeing a bounce back performance from the group.

 

Look it up jack ass. I didn’t make any kind of outrageous statement.
It’s there for you to look it up.

 

What about what I said was hateful? I think you are overreacting lmao. Like this an insane response. Sengun wasnt that good tonight Im sorry.

 

I still think he's got a bright future but absolutely agree that he should earn it. It's actually good for him and his development in the long term.

 

We were down 30-40 points. Him scoring on Allen and then in garbage time(really that whole second half) doesnt mean as much. Also Im not really concerned at all about what Allen is doing tbh. If we wants to act like that while up 30, whatever. Im just saying scoring 20 and 10 when you lose by 35(and you were on the floor when the lead was ballooned) is not some milestone in your career.

 

It is better to ignore you. You are not worth to communicate.

 

Highlight of the night is when Sengun, Martin & Garuba all got dunked on at the same time. I have NEVER seen that many Rockets defenders at the rim at the same time before. In time we are going to be more than special on both ends of the floor.

 

Well neither were you, but I still bothered to talk to you, because Im a nice guy.

 

Nuts!

 

lol. you need the Beefing Posters thread

 

That's when I turned it off. How tf one guy gonna dunk on 3 people?

Defensive rating is all i used and viola, once more it seems like u like making outrageous statement with data pull out of your ass. Hence y i told u to back your statement w/ data instead of making me have to look for it and call u out.

I like Sengun as much as the next guy, but top 2 defender on the rockets? yea bull sht out of the ass. He needs more seasoning on the D.

 

He was 0-6 from the field, shooting 0%

Jalen Green, not pictured, also made 0 FGs tonight.

10 * (Matthews made FGs tonight) = 0

The math checks out, by God you're right!

 

Eh
To me he was the best one on the rockets. That's something positive to look at

 

Looking young guys like Sengun/Green’s playing and growth is the reason why we are watching games this season.

I hope our head coach knows that we we are not here watching Theis playing or his stupid lineups. Just play the young talents to develop them and bring hope to the city.

 

So we lost, relax.

My only issues is Theis starting rather than Sengun, but at least he only played 18 minutes so whatever.

 

U bet your ass if Lewon or any superstar did that sht, its gonna b on the highlight reels for days.

That sht was so nasty, i was surprised he didn't even get and 1 for that.

Click on Rockets. It’s right there for you.
There are plenty that show analytically. And he’s one of the top in the league in deflections, steals per 36 or 80 possessions. And would lead the team in blocks.

 

Also, I’m sure you know that defensive rating in that metric doesn’t mean anything right?
You probably don’t. Your eye tells you all you need to know.
Don’t be an idiot. Or something else…..

 

This is all we wanted this year and we cant even get that.
