ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 1/12/2024

So if Jalen scores 12 points in 4 minutes anywhere in the game, is he absolved from everything else?

 

wasn’t really thinking about the travel…mainly just the quality of opponent

then we got @Sixers @Knicks, and another B2B vs the Jazz and Celtics

the way this team’s been playing, I have a very bad feeling

 

Anyone watched the game would tell you he was NOT okay! He was in pain actually

 

Again, its just box score watching to find a reason to shiit on jalen who was the only reason we managed to be in the game in the 1st half and tied at the halfway mark.

No one was crying about his efficiency then. Hes streaky, we know this. He played very solid defense in the 4th but went cold shooting.

I can't fathom how anyone would mention Jalens efficiency if they actually watched that game. Even all his misses were in the flow and solid offensive looks.

He really only had 1 bad possession i can remember where he did that stupid jump pass to sengun for a turnover. He got stripped going to the rim also but a dead ball turnover when attacking isnt as bad as people make it out to be.

 

Nah he was inefficient therefore he "hurt our team but not too much that we lost" according to the haters. The guy playing the game doesn't know what he's talking about

 

People hating on Cam but without his 3 points we lose 110-109

 

no, but Green criticism would be a lot more sincere if you dweebs didnt have such a hate boner for him. I dont see you dudes out here cheering for him goin off in the first half saving the rockets from going down 50. only when Jalen misses a layup yall start unzipping your pants to jack off in the comments.

 

People also hate J.Ivey but if he did not miss 2 FTs and the last 3pt shot, we would lose 117-112.

Someone has to teach to Amen how to shoot and to FVV clock awareness.

 

You really sound like a child. He shot poorly get over me saying that because I wont stop lol HE TAKES TOO MANY SHOTS FOR SOMEONE WHO SHOOTS THAT BADLY. Cry I do not care lol He cannot keep shooting like this if we are going to make the play in tournament, its that simple. If you have a problem with that talk to him about his play.

 

If you need somebody else to throw the ball at the backboard I am available for hire Fred

 

"Everyone who criticizes Jalen is only doin it cuz they hate him" Fallacies Fallacies Fallacies Fallicieheees

 

lucky win
nothing else to say

 

Is this guy stupid?

Does he not know Jalen was hurting the team?

 

Steadily shooting poorly... alnite

 

We won the FT % battle. That's how you win.

 

You do know Sengun had a quick 9 points and the Rockets had the lead for the majority of the first quarter with a heavy diet of Sengun touching the ball?

Let's not act as if that remained the same and Jalen shot less, the Rockets would've been down 20.

That being said, I'm already on record as saying Jalen had a good first half, so I'm not arguing that point.

 

Yall gotta show me when you guys are excited when Jalen is hoopin. Where is the balance? Feels like yall get the strength to post when it's time to hate. This is what I mean by being sincere criticism. Where are the posts when youre glazing Jalen when he does well. If yall are just posting when he sucks, yall are hating.

its okay to be hater. stop running from it and stop crying when it gets called out.

 

Your literally talking in caps and character attacking, yet I'm the one being a child.

I know he's inefficient, don't doubt it one bit.

But you can bet your ass udoka wanted him to take probably 23 or 24 out of those 25 shots. He always urges and appluads jalen when he's aggressive.

Your a box score watcher, its ok. Other people watch the game and understand the different nuances to basketball.
