ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 10/24/2025

Gettin beat on the glass on the offensive end was wild with that lineup

 

Problem is Reeds only upside is shooting but somehow they only worked on his defense during offseason and he didn’t even touch the ball. Sengun had a dip year on his offense last season due to focusing on defense and they did the same thing to Reed this offseason when he clearly have physical limit so when Reed cannot make a bucket he’s useless

 

I think Amen was at his best last season when he played off the ball at the 4...he seems to play inefficient when he's the point guard.
We desperately need a point guard. As much as I like Reed, he's becoming a huge liability on for our defense.

 

Udoka needs to coach like Kerr. Play all your guys. Keep everyone fresh. We need to play JD and Holiday as well.

 

KD's body is not gonna hold up if they keep playing like this.

 

The most disappointing player this game is Sengun.

Dude was playing soft like a$$.

 

Come on, don't lie.

We have the second best post player in the league..... irrelevant the head coach forces him to stay outside the perimeter. We have great offense there!!!!

 

panicking after 2 games is idiotic. You also don’t know me, so keep your judgements to yourself.

This team hasn’t gelled yet - they flipped Green and Brooks for KD and lost FVV. They’re still figuring it out. It’s quite a change from last season. Most times you have such a drastic changing of players and roles, it takes some time.

 

Disappointed or disappointing?

 

lol yup lots of crazy takes. Some folks forgot to take their medicine lol

this team will be ok. This was always going to be an ugly game against Pistons.

 

reed is a liability on offense as well. Forces drives to the lane missing all his shots. People hated Green but at least he can make buckets in the paint.

 

This.

8 man rotation sucks

 

I dont think we necessarily fell off, it's more like other team has gotten so much better while we are missing Fred.

 

get those meds, guys!

 

I mean he played like **** so he better be

 

IME NEEDS TO HAVE A PLAY THAT CAN GET REED BARI SHOTS. Ime just rolls the ball out like silas.

 

You obviously don't understand the importance of a head coach.

Otherwise you wouldn't have regurgitated the same garbage you said in your first post that I made a blatantly obvious rebuttal to.

Once again, cool take though.

 

Thanks for correcting

 

If you really watched the final minutes, you would know this is incorrect. The Pistons started hard doubling/trapping Durant midway through the fourth quarter as soon as he caught the ball. They did so because Durant was killing them.

Durant made the correct basketball play after getting doubled. It’s up to others to execute when they have the advantage.

 

Hey hey now… let’s cool it a bit with these rational takes lol
