ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 1/15/2024

I always keep being patient on Jalen but I am not surprised if he go to the other team in the next twenty days

 

He just spasms like a flying carpet and gets all the calls he wants. You don't have to be in shape to play like that.

 

Worst commentary team

 

Calvin Murphy look like he wants to jump off a bridge.

 

Awful game. Missed 3 threes in a row to start the game yet managed to take the lead 17-15. It was all downhill from there. Alpi's been a walking turnover but if you replay them again you'll see them giving more contact than what Tate was giving Embiid aka the foul mercenary. The best flop was Jabari just casually putting the ball in front of him in a drive and Bev steps into the ball with his chest. Ese goes back 5ft. Offensive foul on Jabari. Apparently the basketball weighs as much as a 40lb kettlebell.

No excuses just amused.

 

Rockets are lucky to be within 19. Without so many TOs they could be within 10 but they look rattled, especially Alpi. He's gotta start cooking.

I'm sorry JG lovers, but he was complete dog meat in the 1st half. He'll get 7-8 mins in Q3 to turn it around and if he doesn't, Udoka should sit him the rest of the game.

 

Pablo is surrounded by better talent and used at a higher rate (higher option) … Poole looked like an All Star with warriors pre-Draymond punch …

We have kids that still growing into their bodies and sharping skills …24-26 is when I expect to see true results

 

Jalen has two points? Lol

 

send a message ime. bench jalen to start the 2nd half. he is playing like a sorry replacement level player for basically this entire season.

 

The water’s cold! What is Jalen Green doing? We desperately need some offense, which is supposed to be his bag, and the guy has 2 points. Two! I’m not happy with the guy.

 

You don’t draft a guy in the top 4 and hope to see results 5-7 years later. That’s actually ridiculous. You draft projects in late first or second round with that mindset. I mean, can you tell me the dudes who were drafted top 4 recently that weren’t expected to contribute right away?

 

Jalen better turn it around soon or he will be coming off the bench at best. Cam is ready. I think they are just worried about his ego and afraid he won’t concentrate on team defense if he starts.

 

Overperforming.

 

What I do not understand is, he does not need to be a foul merchant. He is too skilled unlike Giannis.

 

It's kind of expected. Can beat the bad teams at home, lose to the good / middle teams on the road. Take whatever learning experience team can get.

 

Craig standing on the third step to see eye to eye with Hollins

 

Ime ****ed up putting Tate on Embiid.

What exactly did he expect to happen in that matchup?

Jabari had some nice moments, but when he was guarded by small players for a bunch of possessions and didnt even attempt to take advantage.

Sengun just having an off game but he was playing scared early and i think thats why Ime took him out. He b****ed up. Also, been saying it since pre draft but hes got to at least be a dependable mid range shooter. Embiid isnt even guarding him outside of the paint.

Jalen is just not a good player and ive been done with him. Im not surprised at any of the shitty things he does at this point.

If it was up to me id bench him and just start Cam. The team will benefit more from having Cam go through growing pains than to keep investing in Jalen.

 

Jalen starting is disappointing. what happened to accountability?

 

Houston Rockets need more solid shooters and bench players.
