ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 1/13/2025

This was an awesome birthday present to cap the night. Go Rockets!

 

u know your spirit got crushed when u resort to conspiracies post-game

was seeing what Grizzlies fans were saying after the game, and they’ve basically given up on the 2 seed…but I also came across stuff like this

It’s the losers refrain but this team really only wins in spite of the refs best efforts to **** us over. I’ve never seen anything like this.

Every 50/50 call went to them. 10 more free throws despite Jaren getting fouled every play. We just have to live with the fact we will never get treated fairly I guess. You can see it’s affecting Ja. He got a season ending injury on a no call from a nobody decking him on a drive and tearing his labrum. The refs have shown they won’t give us consistent calls. At this point it’s not really a conspiracy to say silver is targeting the team for the fiasco with Ja, and has excommunicated us.

It doesn’t make sense. Challenge timeframes where teams get 1 full minute to make the call and they get it, then we go 10 seconds and they say we can’t challenge. Every drive where trip gets hacked. Every drive where morant is on the floor.

Sad situation that we are getting targeted as a political message within the NBA.

 

I haven't been watching lately honestly. I did catch the last Memphis game in Memphis though and saw a difference. Also a difference with the team. It was easier to watch.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Rockets didnt even give him a 5 yr deal. He has one of the lowest contracts in the top 7.

 

Eh, Clutchfans has produced worse posts.

 

That was one great emma effin game!!! Wooooo!!!!!

 

My only problem w/Jalen's contract is he can walk in 2yrs. Rockets need to workout that extension next yr

 

NGL I wasn’t really thinking this team was going to do anything in the playoffs but now.. I’m actually thinking we have a shot at the WCF. Of course a long shot.. but if we play our best it’s possible.

Jalen Green? He’s been on a tear again. I don’t want to jump the gun again, but man does he look incredible when his 3pt shots are going in. Obviously his spacing just gets way better, but he plays with a different swag too. Hope he gets it consistent once and for all.

 

Thats the price we pay for not giving him Sengun money.

 

Jalen joins Hakeem Olajuwon as only players in franchise history to total 40+ points on at least 70% shooting in a game before turning 23.

Wow

 

We are winning despite missing Jabari Jr and Tari Eason. Amen's presence in the starting lineup has made the game easier for Jalen Green.

 

This is fun.

 

Amen with 19pts, 13 rbs, 5blks, 2stls and 4asst! Doing everything. What a difference-maker this guy is on the team.

 

He is only 22 so he is still putting it together. Some people areike Ja and really good day 1 but some people are like Wiggins need lots of years to put it together. Jalen seems to be the latter.

 

If you could pick one person on the Rockets to take less 3-pointers, who would it be? For me Brooks.

 

If he keeps this up for another the next two seasons the bidding war will be insane.

 

He's a really good fit at forward, it's going to cause some hard conversations to be had once Jabari gets back.

 

I was there at the game.
The energy was amazing!!!
