ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 3/13/2022

Green with a towel over his head. He gonna demand a trade?

Inexcusable for them to have no energy letting J Balvin look like CP3.

 

If I was green, I’d be mad too.

Dude was giving it his all out there and was benched with only 27 minutes

 

I don’t know why Silas don’t like to play our rookies. If our rookies can’t be well developed, what the hell we are playing for?

 

"Like you said... foolish and expensive"
Tanking reminds me of this scene from 13th Warrior:

 

when Silas took out Jalen green with 1 minute left in the first knowing he wasn't going to come back in until the 6th minute of the 2nd, I almost turned off the game..

 

We can’t draft Ivey because of KPJr?



That’s seriously a thing?!?

that’s almost as bad as the “I don’t want Cade because he won’t fit with KPJr” talk from last summer

 

If I were Green, I know this team is not a good place to stay.

 

More like:

 

I would not be upset if they decided to end it tomorrow.

 

Ok, that's a bit ridiculous.

 

I was watching Purdue thinking the same thing. I hope the rockets fall to the 5th or 4th so the rockets are forced to get him and trade KPJ.

 

He thinks he’s playing 2k and the rotations are set in stone. Or something

 

No question. I'm just saying it's not like Tate, our "defensive stopper," is a big help in these situations. One of the big arguments people use in favor of Tate is his ability to guard 1-5. I just think he's given us enough tape to show that maybe in a tight spot here or there he does well on guards, and offensively has a nice next to the basket game, but overall he has a lot of weaknesses, even on D.

 

I wouldn’t go that far because I do love me some Jabari or Chet, but after those 2, I’d be cool with Ivey and would kick KPJr to the curb or make him a bench scorer who gets 20 minutes a game with more minutes in games when he’s hot and not fcking up

then in RFA, I think the most I’d give KPJr if I wanted him back is like a 3/15 deal…5 mil/yr for a young bench scorer sounds about right

 

Every big man opponent has all star career days against us.

This is why I say draft big men.....we got enough Ivey types.

 

Woah, people actually think Tate can guard 1-5?? My view on Tate defensively is that he’s just ok, mainly because he hustles and gives effort.

 

A win tonight would’ve put us9 games out of the playin game. That’s funny when you think about it. I want the top pick

 

Somebody needs to show him how to turn off auto substitutions and set it to manual then.
