ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 2/22/2024

3-15 fg from Jalen Green

 

And people here acting like he's getting abused tonight.

When in reality if he had teammates who were doing what the Pels other players were when the ball went into the post...

Might be the 329408th time I've said it - the franchise is doing an absolute injustice to its best player by having this game plan and these teammates out there with him.

The team didn't need any adjustments at the deadline... Now you know Stone has no gag reflex that's why daddy Tilman keeps his incompetent ass.

 

Shut up Zion you square headed goon

 

Mismatch in every position lol

 

I think Ware is better than Jabari and Zion is just punking Dillion….Tari need to start next year

 

lol @ Pels announcers

Dillon clearly had the ball and Zion was making tons of contact with his body trying to get the ball before he ever touched it

 

Imagine being drafted #3 overall and can only get 5 shot attempts. Sad

 

this is one long quarter of "basketball"

 

Haha. Why don't you go and watch every time Jonas has scored.

Now tell us if it was a direct one on one possession where he scored on Sengun (there's definitely been some)

And tell us when he's scored because Sengun has gone and helped a teammate and stopped their player scoring, and Jonas has cleaned up with no resistence because no one has helped Sengun.

It's ok, understanding the defensive end is difficult because there's a lot that goes into it. That's why people like Jalen don't even care to try to know what happens on that end, so can't be surprised casual fans don't know it either.

EDIT: right on cue Sengun shuts down Zion on the perimeter lmfao. If only our superstar defensive stoper could do that hey.

 

Jalen shot the ball 14 times this game…..pitiful..I say pitifully sad….

 

I get that other players are playing really bad, but we gotta start with the biggest issue first.

Jalen Green not only needs to be benched he needs to be out of the rotation. Hes the worst player that sees the floor too many nights.

 

That Alvarado airball should be the turning point

TIME FOR A COUNTERFEIT COMEBACK

 

Great defense that possession by Al P

 

Rockets 2 years away from being 2 years away with no player close to the level of even a Zion

 

Man I feel bad for Jabari once Jalen gets traded. He’s the most protected Rocket right now and he gets to be trash in silence.

 

Why is Fred on the court?

 

Imagine a No.3 pick that can dribble twice in a row

 

Zion and Valanciunas look like they are playin against junior high kids
