ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets - Vegas Summer League 7/9/2023

"we tired of losing" shows good self-awareness
silas being in the background looking goofy is just perfect irony, can't make it up
tari is so likeable but lol is not the most articulate guy, still love him. one of those guys you just want on your team
i think we're seeing beginning signs jabari could be a second/third best player on a championship team. you always knew he would take longer to develop than paolo. i'm guilty of wanting short term results myself but i like his determination and wanting to be the best version of himself. real potential

 

What's crazy is he correctly pronounces it sometimes, too, so it just goes back and forth. I'm like, it's not that hard, and you get paid well - DO YOUR JOB!

 

Did you actually read what I posted? He didn't use Jabari properly and his SET rotations did flat suck. He broke rhythm when he did his auto rotations. Now, he was encouraging to Bari in interviews but HE wasn't putting him in the best position to be successful IMO. You seem to have an axe to grind on Silas. Great human not a good HC ...again IMO.

 

.

Sengun is our best passer and Cristian wood attempts way more shots. Your logic is flawed on all accounts.

 

Who tf is Cristian Wood?!?

 

An "axe to grind" would fit your position more so than mine, wouldn't it?

Either way, reread what I wrote and maybe you'll get it the second time around.

 

Yeah, chemistry tends to build over time and through shared experiences.
This time last year they were two relative strangers thrown together on the same team for the first time.

It's a process.

 

What an encouraging game for Bari, Tari, and Cam. Our rivalry with Detroit just got even juicier.. also with Silas and Ausar on the team now on top of Cade and Jalen’s rivalry

 

I said he was a great human (HE IS)....his rotations sucked (THEY DID)..He didn't use Bari properly (He DIDN'T). I would like to amend one thing...his propensity for losing certainly helped form the roster over the last 3 years.He certainly gets the credit for that although I said nothing about the last 3 years. We'll just agree to disagree.

 

Happy to see the confidence building up we will be a fun team to watch

 

Feels like Amen already kind of fills that role without being a defensive liability.

 

Nice guy... but that part!

 

Man…Tari and Cam off the bench gonna LETHAL

Bari showing the maturity and leadership.

You gotta love it.

 

What you said here is true. being thrown together on the same team and sharing experiences helped here for sure. But there are several instances on this team where it didn't work.It is indeed a process as you say.

 

You would trade Sengun for Christian Wood?

 

why's jabari out there when Banchero's not?

 

Apparently he’s a center who’s defensive minded and can hit the 3 and someone for whom you would trade Sengun (even though Wood is a free agent with no suitors).

Maybe we can convince OKC to sign and trade him to us for all of our remaining 1st round picks this century.

 

A player that is soo bad I don't need to learn how to spell his name cuz he will be out of the league soon

 

A couple of notes from SL#2

• Nice to see Eason, Whitmore, and Smith get up shots. They took 66 of the 84 shots by all Rocket players. I guess that means everyone knows their role.
• Nice to see that the Rockets didn't foul all that often. The Pistons were flying at the rim all game but only shot 8 of 12 at the line.
