ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 12/29/2022

I have done way too many Silas photoshops this year...

 

Your photo proves it. Can't argue that.

 

there’s really no excuse for him to not be in better shape

he should have a chip on his shoulder, but if he did, he’d probably eat it

 

Its undeniable at this point....

 

It's insane. The dude is so close to earning a contract that will give him and his family generational wealth yet he seemingly can't stay out of the Whataburger Drive Thru. Madness

 

Someone has obviously never been tempted by a double swiss patty melt with jalapenos, onion rings, and chicken tenders added.

 

Zero fast break points. Last I checked
Luka doubled the pts on a h2h vs kpj.

Sengun almost fouled out so we never saw him again.
Smith got ignored once more after catching on fire in the 1st quarter.

Our bench presence is nonexistent as Powell scored 19 pts.

Garuba played well while Gordon is checked out.
Green with an efficient game as primary scorer

Silas has a vendetta against JC.

 

Fixed it for ya

 

Pollyanna says:

Garuba had a great game.
Green was offensively efficient.
Nix scored 7 points in 4 minutes!!!
Smith had a good first half

 

I called my shot of Jabari getting 30 too early. That's on me. I should know that those rotations ice people like subzero

 

I’ll never understand it

I have never seen this man hustle or even just look like he’s really trying

How are u holding onto your career by the smallest of strings, and u can barely fit in your jersey? Jersey literally busting at the seams

 

I remember Josh Gordon retiring early from the NBA to keep smoking mary jane

 

Damn I'm hungry now. Seriously debating getting out the bed and hitting the drive thru.

 

The guards suck at defense, and that makes things much harder for Sengun and much prone to fouling. he fouled out 4 times in about 30 games, not so consistent in my opinion. That's nothing to brag about but nothing big considering the weak perimeter defense. You can view it as something naturally happening in the process of developing a center, or you can view it as a major problem about his game. I see it the first way.

Rockets should address pnr defense, transition defense, perimeter defense. At some point, people were saying Bruno was the rim protector (and the lob threat!) that we need. Of course as he played more, he can't do that. Even Gobbert cannot cover up for these guards defense.

 

Honestly inst there an infographic that shows the guards have the highest rated man defense on the team?

Rocket guards are literally quick and can stay in front of their man individually. Where they are poor is communication and ball watching. Also not in sync with the bigs on one defense.

 

It's so decadent

 

Heartburn is not worth it.

 

If you want to know the results of major differences in work ethic between two people, Nix and Green were ranked together as the top guards in their class in high school in the nation.

 

haha. poor twix!
