ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/9/2025

So is Tari just permanently disabled? How can a player be out for so long from calf soreness? It's crazy.

At this point we might have to consider packaging him in a deal if we're moving FVV's contract for a star player.

 

Even with Tate playing his best game today, we still need bench help asap.

 

What a racist, clearly we all know who his hate is directed towards.....

 

Rockets are legit! Enjoy!

 

my work is FDA approved and made with all natural ingredients

Hawks up next

 

Last 2 minutes:

 

My faith is broken at this point and I need a season of 65+ games to restore it.

Love the way he plays, but the best ability is availability.

 

Cam looks rough, I hope Ime puts this team through a tough free throw practice tomorrow

Also glad we have a smart coach who fouls when up 3 in the last possession

 

A win is a win and I'll take it. The sweet is far more than the sour.

However, while the box score looks very good for both guys, both Alpi and Jalen choked like dogs in crunch time on offense and it was absolutely pathetic Udoka had to call an iso for FVV for the Rockets to just get off a shot (much less score) without turning it over.

This team badly needs a closer to contend.

Also, you people that want Tate traded should just shut up!

 

Jaters is just what Jalens stans call people who tell the truth about what type of game Jalen had. Since he had an efficient game tonight no one is saying he had an inefficient game. So from your point of view jaters dont exist tonight. thats because no one hates jalen they are just saying how he played.

 

We marched in there and got the win despite playing like that. I’ll take it and a strong grasp on 2nd

 

I think we still lack some experience in the clutch, and against a good team like the Grizzlies who play hard, being lackadaisical with passes or moves won't work. Luckily, steady Freddy lived up to his nickname today when he cooked Kennard on that ISO.

I still think that he plays way too slow at times, and his style isn't necessarily the perfect fit for our team who should be hunting mismatches created by fast breaks or scrambled defenses. But that's something to think about for another day...for now, THANK YOU FRED! Saved our asses this game (and Aaron Holiday with the important FTs to seal the game).

 

Jalen Green should make All Star!

 

I am a Rockets fan and no one’s stan. I’m happy we won and rubbing it in assholes who hate on our players.

 

Well I guess I shouldn’t have said better team. We’ve lost several games already that we shouldn’t have due to poor 4th quarter performances.

 

Closing remains a problem, but we are getting stronger. Memphis only missed Smart. Houston is still playing without Jabari and Eason.
Props to Tate, in particular for his huge contribution.

 

With Tari and Bari returning we don't have enough playing time for Cam. Not to mention Whitmore doesn't seem interested in buying in and his attitude is really toxic. Offloading him when Tari and Bari return will allow the real core players to develop. (Reed is coming back too....)
