ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 11/2/2021

I would go

Porter Jr
Jalen Green
Kenyon
Wood
Sengun

Jason Gatling of [ Locked on Rockets ] (not sure of spelling) talked about Kenyon providing
an element of vertical spacing after the Halloween game. This is why I've had Kenyon
starting from preseason observations. Better court spacing from shooting 3's as well.

I've mentioned the "Flying Walendas" of Porter/Green/Martin before.

It completely opened up the congestion of 3 defenders walling up the free throw
line. Now you can run PnR efficiently. Things will click now as the ball handler
can drive the lane and kick out or lob to roller.

Tate serves better with the second team as a facilitator as well. Martin and Tate can split their
minutes for the better of the team. Imo.

*Some day people around here will acknowledge that I know what I'm talking about. Lol.

 

Its Silas's fault Sengun cant convert WIDE open layups under the rim? Lol. Silas is supposed 2 draw up the play and MAKE our bigmen finish now

 

Watching a bigman repeatedly blow open layups is bad. Last nite was embarrassing along with Sengun getting beat so much he was unplayable

 

We need a SHOT BLOCKER other than wood......MA BAMBA

 

Like I said. You shouldn’t have a sports opinion, they’re pretty bad.

 

Being 19 isn't any excuse. Some of you whined about him starting, then when he blows layups under the rim, gets beat on the perimeter & misses dunks, its "he's just a rookie, be nice".


Sengun is a HORRIBLE finisher

 

Silas first needs to go to @D-rock's coaching academy in order for him to be allowed to continue coaching rockets, or perhaps start coaching, would be more appropriate term.

 

yes its his fault he needs to prepare his players and make them mentally strong, its called coaching but obviously he doesnt know how to do it

btw this was his first start of career and first year in nba so its only understandable hell make some boneheaded mistakes... its called jitters or overload, like what happens with browsers when you open too much tabs at once... thats why his 3 pt shooting should be put on pause for now
btw i once watched a game once where lebron james missed a wide open layup and i am sure it happened many times to him

 

he definitely needs some work in that department... still hes miles better than theis and perhaps any other rockets player

 

I watched this last night, but I watched a few seconds before this clip started where Lebron was stuffing ice down his crotch. I was like "wth kinda injury must that be?" Maybe he was icing his groin or something. Seemed odd.

 

Being 19 is definitly an excuse. MOST NBA players dont come into the league doing everything well. It takes time. Sengun is in a new country doesnt speak the language and is away from home at 19. Give the damn kid some freakin time. Man I hope you put this much pressure on your own life. Its one thing being a grown ass man not doing your job correctly but give the 19 year old from adifferent country a damn break. He shoots 43% from the field its not as bad as you suggest he can easily get better this year.

 

How could this game not be televised on TNT or ESPN?

 

lol ad steps on sengun here trips and gets a foul.....tsk tsk

 

we need more data to see if this is true. Lakers game he was playing away, against AD and Lebron some of the Zebras favorites. If you are going to judge NBA players based on how they blew layups against this particular Lakers team, you are going to have a long season of judging in front of you. They may not be as good as the media makes them to be, but they are long and Vogel´s teams are always competing on defense.

maye be, may be not. Let's give the kid a few starts over the veteran who is a non project and let's see what we get.
