ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 3/31/2024

Like everytime Amen set a pick they hard trapped Jalen knowing Amen can't shoot. They should have immediately switched it to Jabari setting the screen. Because he's wide open on those hard traps or they can't double. Instead they just have him doing nothing out there and watching brooks go 0-7. If Jabari got up those 7 threes we might have been in the game.

 

I think he affects winning games against worse teams but when there are better talents he can still score but it would not matter as much.

 

It's coaching smart lol.

If Jalen or Amen were seriously injured in a game that was already decided everyone here would be throwing Ime under the bus.

You have to know when to hold em, fold em, and walk away. Playing Jalen or Amen would not have gotten us closer to the playoffs.

 

This is what I don't get. Why don't they do more Green and Jabari pnr?

Teams would be more afraid to blitz Green off Jabari.

 

I vehemently disagree with you. No offense...risk vs. reward...you aren't seeing the big picture. Cut your losses...look to the next game...live to play another day.

 

Rockets are going to make the play-in! We're going to leapfrog the Warriors, the Lakers, AND the Kings! Climb on the bandwagon!!!

Um... hang on a minute...

We SUCK! This is embarrassing! We're the worst team in NBA history! Trade Jalen! Trade Brooks! Trade Harden again! Fire Stone! Fire Udoka! Blow it up and start over with Alpi as our star/coach/GM!!!

 

I don't get it either. Amen better at crashing boards and playing baseline. Jabari should be picking and popping. To open court up for Jalen.

 

That’s troubling that he does not effect a game against a bad or good team…Cam, Sengun, Amen and Jalen always effect us winning or losing

 

In this particular instance most of the games ahead are against Mavs caliber teams.....so the arguments of both are alright.

 

Jalen is allowed a bad game, I think—and shooting aside it wasn’t even that bad of a game if I’m being honest. The Mavs took him out of his rhythm and he had a really bad second half by his recent standards.

The trouble is, DB is supposed to be our perimeter stopper. I truly do not mean to scapegoat him because the Mavs were hot, but his defense wasn’t effective and he has been flat out horrible on offense. I hope we get good Dillon back, but I also wonder if he’ll ever come back

 

Can’t beat the mavs. Same old story. Sigh.

 

Anyway…disagree.

 

Next yr our roster will be better

 

100% this. Hope the coaching staff tweak this.

 

We can when it’s the playoffs

 

We will be championship contenders soon. We will get there within one to two years watch.

 

Ime coached a BAD GAME….disappointing! Ime should have trapped the guy in the first half like they did Jalen

 

We flat had some folks not show up tonight....I'll just say that. And, he was open on the arc many times and didn't receive the ball.The bench outscored 4 of our starters 49-30.

 

Especially against the Wolves next game with an elite rim protector who plays drop coverage a lot. A Green Jabari pnr can really force Golbert to be pulled out of the rim.

 

Warriors about to win; thanks for nothing wemby. -11 for him tonight
