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

I think you may be right. Ivey sure seems to be blossoming

 

Once again I was only comparing volume with low % but still winning a game, rather it be in the Finals or reg. season, that has happened many times

Jordan was a complete disaster if you compare his other Finals and playoff series efficient wise, but it didn't matter because they won, regardless of TS%

TS% is the new (remixed) troglodyte version of PER when that first hit the scene

Jordan had a 13/29 ...... a 14/33...... 12/27......... 9/26 and 15/35 (fgm/fga) in that Finals

If Jalen shoots like that in any game he gets put on the Cross rather win/loss

 

Rockets got lucky. That was a clinic by Detroit on how to lose a close game. Turnovers, missed fts, bad defense etc.

 

sounds familiar. Young teams do this all the time. Dillion and Tari can’t get back soon enough.

 

You should stop right there, take a step back and look how you are generalizing and what that means. Hope you can relate somehow.

 

Results are not important. What's important are factors that can impact results apparently lol. Conversely if he shot 4 for 4 and had 10 points no one would jumping out here saying 100 percent shooting, he had a great game. The narrative is already in and people will find a stat each night to fit that narrative.

 

When it’s happening on X and Reddit and here… by multiple people it’s no longer a generalization it’s a fact and being discussed about on all platforms

 

Oh boy you are just not aware yet. I will give you some time to mature your ideas as you live on. On the other hand, I hope you never face such hardships or meet such people which will make you a real adult. Because it is tough and your privileged bald eagle ass will never understand otherwise.

How was it? Did I do it right? Let me know sensei.

 

To everyone else, I am sorry if I offended you, this is not me, I am trying to make him relate thats all…

 

Trying to be a leader and keep the kid in high spirits.
JG needs to watch Vince carter and Tmac in their prime. Attacked the rim with FORCE not the buttercup layups

 

I must have been downstairs warming up dinner, but when did this happen?

 

Early in the game like in the first couple of minutes. I was truly amazed

 

They dont count fouls as shots nice try.

 

This looks like an Episode of Hidden Camera......PJ Tuckin a Fool.

 

boo hoo, you are proving my point.. enjoy the block!

 

Welp, I tried. Someone should tell this guy he is being unintentionally racist. Hope he is this ignorant-confident only on the interwebs.

 

I think if Jalen had exactly those splits, averaging over 33 points - AND we win the series - fans would be fine with it.

It's the losing that drives the "chucker" narrative.

 

Green doesn't chuck at that high volume level consistently, I also give Jordan a senior citizen pass since he was around 35 yrs old, it wasn't 91/93 Finals version but he got it done, rather efficient or not, just win

Which is why I made the efficient comparison which i think Rockets won a game where Green shot like 9/26 or something like that not too long ago

If a player goes 2/10 or 3/12 or 4/14, that isn't really chucking, its just not making a higher percentage on those 3rd option shot attempts

I don't know how many shots per game Green takes, but it seems to be around 15 or so (based on eye test) when team is fully healthy and it may took a spike up per game when Dillon /Bari were out the lineup

 

It is clearly Killian Hayes who is the problem, Cade might be slowing their pace down but that is it.

But yeah, it seems Ivey or Cunningham might be redundant, they are practically too similar .....Ivey just less playmaker and more athleticism.

• Cunningham is still the better player while Ivey might be a better scoring role player.
• They have too many minor problems and Cade is not a problem solver per se.
• Monte Morris should be fixing some of the issues, he is the best playmaker outside of Cade......
