ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 11/29/2023

Says who?

EDIT: Damn, just saw the tweet.

 

Would be nice if we could face the same version of the Nuggets that the Clippers somehow couldn't beat.

 

Def rating slipped from #1 to #4 after last night's loss. Opponent ended up above 110 pts.

For tonight, part of me is hoping both Jokic and Jamal are available, to stress test Rockets defense again. Was hearing Denver excuses that we only beat them because it was without Jamal. Personally prefer getting opposing team's best shot.

This being on the road, it would be bad if Nuggets sit their two main guys, and with ref home cooking still beat us.

 

Nothing like a "get right" game against the world champs!

 

No way we beat Denver three times in a row. But then again, I didn't think we would beat them the first time, or the second time, even at home.

 

At this point I'd like a good efficient Jalen performance and a more balanced offensive showing. Our defense has been exceptional but our offense is a bit of a hodge podge. Spamming the Sengun PnR but teams are busting that up early and often now. Expect the same today. Also more Jabari sideline and nail touches to start. Want to see what a 30 pt Bari game looks like.

 

FVV out, Amen out you know whose time it is. Aaron Holiday.

 

Cam Whitmore time??????????????????????????

 

here we go again!!! LFG Rockets!

 

Any word on if Cam Whitmore is getting any run tonight?

 

What the **** is up with this scheduling? 3 days off then a back to back? 3rd time playing Denver in less than 3 weeks?

 

The Denver Nuggets have six players listed on their injury report: Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Vlatko Cancar, Hunter Tyson, and Peyton Watson. Nikola Jokic is questionable with lower back pain, Jamal Murray is questionable with a right hamstring strain, Aaron Gordon is questionable with a right heel strain, Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery, Hunter Tyson is questionable with an illness, and Peyton Watson is probable with an illness.

The Houston Rockets have five players listed on their injury report: Tari Eason, Victor Oladipo, Jae'Sean Tate, Amen Thompson, and Fred VanVleet. Tari Eason is questionable with lower leg soreness, Victor Oladipo is out with left patellar tendon repair, Jae'Sean Tate is out with left knee soreness, Amen Thompson is out with a right ankle sprain, and Fred VanVleet is out with a left thumb sprain.

Prior to facing the Clippers, the Denver Nuggets were struggling and had lost four out of the last five games.

Until Jalen's balls drop.......let Cam cook

 

and we play denver again with the added game... wtf is that? they're not even in our division yet we're going to play them 4x. why can't we play the jazz 4x or something or the trail blazers

 

We got 2 wins from the defending champs with their 2nd best player out

 

With Fred out I believe this is a test for JG.
I really hope cam plays with tate out

 

Oh, for god's sake. The Nuggets, again?
Okay, so if we beat them all those other times, we should ignore the 'law of averages,' and expect to win again. Right?

 

Murray back?

 

Loaded injury list, 2nd game of the b2b, high altitude, reigning champs. All set for a blowout loss.
