ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/15/2020 (Preseason)

Why do they dress like that?

 

Nah, that was just a really awkward joke about how pretty Cayleigh is versus Bill and Matt’s ugly mugs and it’s a shame we mask her.

Matt trying to help the joke then made it sound like a political statement. $10 says Bill will try the same joke again at some point.

 

Goodbye and no one last flipping them off?

 

Harden and Wall might be able to work, but it's going to take quite a bit of time, unless James is traded.

Nwaba's speed on his drives looks good. He is rusty and will need time to adjust. Luckily, his IQ is pretty good. Wall looks smooth out there. He is showing good court vision. Ben played well. Tate showed some improvement.

I know it's preseason, but there isn't any defense out there. Gotta do a better job on that end.
When will Wood rejoin the team? I wonder if he is badly hurt. That would be a massive blow to the team, if it's true. I feel bad for Clemons. Hope he will be fine soon.

 

In hindsight crazy offseason with Morey and MDA.

Thought Morey would give it one last attempt.

 

There's no defense out there? Did you not see the many steals, blocks, and help defense? How about the fact that the Spurs were held to under 100? Can the defense get better? Absolutely, but to say there was no defense would mean that you just weren't watching the game or don't understand it. Wood has a minor elbow abrasion and already stated he'll be playing on Thursday. This kind of doom and gloom post shouldn't be coming from such a long time member.

 

Also: relax.

 

Harden said to them 'Bye last one turns off the lights"

 

Larry Bird used to throw the ball AT PEOPLE'S HEAD so that if they were not paying attention it smacked em in the face.....they soon started paying attention.

I would do the same for Harden.

DD

 

I did see steals, deflections and blocks, but defensive rotations were poor without any real effort. I didn’t know Wood said he’ll be playing on Thursday. I did see Silas saying he would miss the Spurs game. Thanks for your post.

 

Too late to stretch salary for cap/tax/apron purposes. That deadline was last week.

And why would Clemons take a buyout when his salary is essentially fully guaranteed and he won't be able to play for another team this season?

 

I remember when i trained basketball as a young kid our coach would be furious if someone got hit in the head... at the receiver

 

Why are you such a hater? Lavine, White, Markannen, LMA, Gay, LMA, Derozan and Murray are all in the rotation and Caboclo played well against those guys.

Again you didnt say spot mins. You said the Rox cant play him cuz he cant stop Lebron and AD.

 

yes i did say spot mins in a previous post ITT

 

Tbh I thought his heart wasnt in it anymore the last couple of seasons. We got no talent and Morey just kept giving away picks for vets.

 

Progress?

Healing?

Forgiveness?

Need a clue.

 

Harden trade was 30% luck 20% skill 50% concentrated power of will but overaly Morey never got who he wanted since he got the job in Rockets. He would always loose the battle and then overpay for the same players once they were over the hill

 

If you want to call Silas dumb, have at it.

 

Just pulling numbers out of your ass I see.
