ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 12/23/2022

If you had more than three seconds to choose a stupid ass user name like that, it says all about you.

 

Everyone is talking about KPJ on the fast break and how it shows he’s not a pg….

But really what it shows is that he’s just not that good of a player period.

You don’t have to be a pg to run a fast break competently. You really just need to not be a dumbass.

The outcome probably would’ve been better with the ball in anyone else’s hands on the floor.

 

Me: Jabari had a great game

SOF: The only reason he had a great game is because Sengun set him up

Me: Sengun was late on that close out

SOF: He shouldn’t be guarding that player anyway

and y’all wondering why y’all are more annoying than LOF’s

 

So does the post game analysis start now or we still waiting for the player-only-fan war to end?

 

That’s fair, but Sengun misses bunnies at the rim that he makes in his sleep. I don’t love any player too much to not call them out

 

Henderson or Thompson would be interesting. Henderson fills that true point guard role everyone's been talking about. You wouldn't draft him #2 and start Porter over him so yeah... Henderson-Green-Porter-Smith-Sengun do it for you? What about Porter-Green-Thompson-Smith-Sengun with Amen as a point-forward and Porter being just another combo guard like the rest of the roster?

Even further... of course you would take Wembanyama #1 that's a forgone conclusion at this point. But this team is lacking a point of attack, for lack of a better term. Who is feeding him 3s and lobs? Porter can but he's shown to be not great at it. I don't think he's to blame, I just don't think he's a great facilitator. Getting a Thompson or Henderson and moving Porter to wing scorer or bench scorer probably makes him look like a 6moty candidate. Getting Wembanyama and further magnifying his low ceiling with regards to facilitating a consistent offense makes clutchfans go crazy.

 

I'm turning it into a gif.

Lol @ the "virginity rocks" shirt

 

The thing is that the dude he’s spazzing out at is far more critical of KPJ than Sengun. This Ledakota guy is just a weirdo. He probably blocked me after I called him out, too, because he’s a coward and probably a troll account

 

lol that sweater is awesome

 

The best part about this game was Jabari's improvement. And that TyTy seems to be moving ahead of Nix at last. Long overdue.

 

It never ends

 

is that’s the best you can come with Mr.AroundTheWorld …. try again #Mr.AlwaysWrong

Tips the hat to Luka. He played heavy minutes and he was still efficient at the end of the game. We lost the game because we always let the opposing guards have a field day on us and we send double team too little too late. Time to think about whether Green and KPJ should play together, as there is no defense.

I wasn't even mad when KPJ ran into an offensive foul. We have seen that happened too many too often. He has been playing selfishly since he was a Rockets. Also his sidekick Nix, sigh, don't want to mention about him every game. Those two guys never learn no matter how many games they played. Additions by subtractions if we can ship them both out of the town.

Tyty played very clam and control. He missed some shots but I started to see him as a possibility to become our starting PG. If Tyty came off the bench before Nix in the first quarter, the outcome could have been different.

Smith played great, and he showed today why he was the number 3 pick. Hope he keeps it up.

Sengun also played great, except two blown layups at the end. He made 6-9 shots with 19 points, and you can't really complain with that efficiency. It sucks those 2 missed layups were at the end.

Green started to understand how to use the big man screen, which is a good sign. He just needs to get his shots back.

The next game our offense will be reverted back to Green and KPJ ISOs anyway. Luka has to play almost 40 minutes plus a lot of help from the refs to beat us, basically selfish basketball is not winning you a championship. KPJ is lightyear away from Luka's level, so we need a real coach to tell the players either sharing the balls or sits.

 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

 

Better than before, but alas not enough.

 

We draft a PG and KPJ goes to the bench, directly to the bench. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 dollars. You're right. If KPJ is the starting PG next year we are still in the same position. It is doing a disservice to the team and KPJ

 

I think people are upset because it looks like you only call out Sengun. We all know he needs to make those shots. Even he was upset he missed. But our guards fired up a brick fest in the fourth too. If you gonna post about choking don't single out a 1 player tonight. It was a team effort besides Jabari.

 

Sengun missed when it matter the most so he's a choker. 2:04 his 2nd lay up team down 2 point

2 mins mark
1:17 sengun steals
1:12 KPJ made a stupid turnovers (choking away the possession)
:40 KMJ turnover
:13 Smith miss 3 pt
:5 KPJ miss 3 pt

4 people miss or made costly error and a sengun steals the ball in final two mins, but only sengun is consider a choker b/c of two miss "bunnies" in the fourth. And @maj21 wonder why people consider him a sengun hater.
