ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 10/21/2025

I see title contenders with, this team. Good things in this game, as well as the bad. Maybe JD Davidson should get some run. I like him better than Reed to be quite honest. Reed plays so timid. Bad passing and getting blown by by Cason Wallace and Andrew Wiggins. It's like having Dillion Brooks blow by you.

 

İme should get an offensive assistant coach. With fvv out his weakness in that area will be very visible.

 

buddy they are missing an all star. Fvv isnt out. Hes not part of the team

 

All this talk about KD all summer and his old ass cant make one 3 for us. made plentty against us though. par for the ****ing course. nba is rigged no point in watching.

 

I thought Reed tried too hard to prove his worth instead of focusing on playing his role. He tried to go one on one multiple times only to run out the clock, TO, or miss shots He should focus on shooting wide open threes which he missed several, defending, and rebounding. I thought he played selfishly multiple times instead of rotating the ball to durant amen or sengun. Why was cason wallace so good his 1st and 2nd year? Because he just played within the team and the flow of the game while understanding his limited role. Reed should shoot when open, rotate the ball, drive when lane open. Simple.

 

Read closer...

 

I wish he was 0 for 20. They left Reed and Amen open all night when they didn't have the ball. They did a good job shading Durant. They were both too hesitant to pull the trigger and let it fly, and the results speaks for itself. Can't be scared to shoot 3's. If Reed can make 37% of his 3's and Amen 34% this team will be deadly.

 

Honestly, when kd plays 47 minutes, I can’t blame him for making a bad defensive play at the end. If this is how much ime is going to play him, then an injury will be on ime .

 

Sucks to lose but still a very impressive start to the season.

They revamped the starting lineup, replaced three key players, and are probably introducing a lot of new offensive sets.
And yet, they took the defending champions (albeit without Williams) to double OT.

Against any other team, the Rockets would have notched an easy win.
If they stay healthy, a 55-win season is going to be a shoe-in.

 

He's not the answer. Derrick White tho o yea

 

Or Reed starts for 4 years like Jalen...

One or the other... could go either way...

 

We gon be aight!... Foul trouble and putting teams in the bonus early is probably gonna be our detriment with the big lineup starting off games... But I like it!

 

Shead would have been so good. He's such an Udoka player he'd have fit in perfectly here.

 

Free throws down the stretch

 

Stephen Adams is not a starter in this league.

DD

 

I hate losing but I love this team. First game and we take the champs on the road to double OT. We are going to get better. Let’s ****ing gooooooo!! Go Rockets!!!

 

KD bout to fire his agent after this game. Incredulous he gave up millions for Tari, only to watch him do that and sabotage the team.

 

And focus on DEFENSE. That why Cason Wallace got the starting gig over Aaron wiggins for OKC. Cason is much better and tenacious on defense.
