ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 10/29/2025

We'll be at .500 after tonight

 

I’m smelling a KD 40 bomb.

 

They moved the game up to 5:30 to accommodate Blue jays game so be prepared

 

Sengun should demolish their midget sized front court.

FIRST!

 

and will deserve it’s own “[Stay Calm]” thread

 

We are fifth in point differential in the NBA.

Rockets by 14

 

I'm still waiting on Reed getting his Numero Uno thread and a bunch of chapters about how incredible he's going to be when he puts it all together tbh...

 

ROFL Nick Patrick was such a clown back in the day

 

I demand another W

Raptors are irrelevant and insignificant, so hopefully this gets wrapped up by the end of the 3rd quarter and I can go walk the dogs early

 

When has it ever worked to adjust starting line-up based on the opponent? Always hated this mentality and still do, cannot allow the opponent to dictate who and how you play. Force them to adjust, be the aggressor. But good we are going with the same starting line-up.

 

Ime just don't wana admit his double big starting line up failed bigtime

 

I mostly agree with you, but Ime stating this publicly gives him leeway to change the starting lineup any time he pleases without raising any eyebrows from players or the press. For the time being at least, I really believe this is the starting lineup he wants to trot out going forward. He probably does not want to actually switch things up every 2-3 games.

Raptors don't defend well, so over the course of 48 mins the Rockets should win decisively. Hopefully they pounce from the opening tip and don't have another sluggish start. My main concern is the Raptors getting hot from outside because the Rockets give up way too many uncontested 3s.

I want to see Okogie guard Brandon Ingram and make him uncomfortable. Scottie Barnes was absolute trash last year against the Rockets and hopefully that continues.

Raptors are 1-3 and will play desperately. Rockets need to come out strong, not take them for granted, attack the rim and destroy this team on the offensive glass.
