ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/21/2025

My biggest worry as a Rox fan.

Adelman is the guy I wanted to replace Silas.

I am with this! Reed needs to start and Ime needs to draw plays to get Reed and Jabari open from the 3. Let it rain! When those 3's start raining, the inside game will open for Sengun and Amen! Kd will also have free range in the midrange and anywhere he wants.

 

Reed gambles a lot on defense, I don’t know if it’s the coaches’ instructions or what but he goes for steals every time

 

Reed was wide open many times in 2nd half, but our players ignored him, including Ime.

 

ime's obsession with the jumbo lineup is the equivalent to JVG's obsession with keith bogans.

 

I would imagine scoring more points than they do in each game is a pretty good winning strategy

 

im not pinning for jalen green! i just take umbrage having to be forced to root for KD and he not putting up the ****ing numbers. dude was an absolute demon against us now that he with us he not coming through. I would rather root for the players that got us here not mercenaries. maybe im frustrated i dont know..

 

Absolutely. Josh starting most of the year. Tari gets hurt and the last two games he got 8min to Holidays 19Min and 9min to Holidays 11min. He didn’t look hurt so I really don’t get what Ime is thinking. The double bigs suck this year. Ime needs to get a clue.

 

Rick taught his son well

 

I wouldn't say this, the Rockets actually showed their depth. We're going to be just fine and I would rather play the Nuggets than the Warriors.

 

I'm not telling you to count anyone, but we sure as hell don't have our full team.

 

RIP Adelman. rockets #2 seed confirmed.

 

We didn’t have our man Tari who plays well against Murray Plus his 3 pt shooting. We lost by 3pts to Jokic. We’ll be well-oiled by allstar break - especially when we get DFS back. Sheppard will be a bono fíes starter by then.

 

I do agree but I think KD and Sengun are just not used to playing with Reed and they really need to get used to it.

Sengun especially since Reed might very well be the Robin OR Batman on this team, let's be honest, Reed is the best offensive prospect we have on this team. Offensively he's levels above Amen and Jabari and its honestly not close.

So we really should see more Sengun and Reed two man game, get him used to playing with him. I mean, this is the future of our offense for years to come, Alpi and Reed, they may as well do a lot of this now.

I can't really blame them for coming in playing hero ball, it's who they are as star players, they get selfish...but you can see they are not used to deferring to him which is fine, it's been 13 games.

 

not only that, the only player on this roster who knows how to set screen for reed is adams

if you replace adams with reed, then reed no longer has his top tier screener.

 

He averages 16-7-5 against Denver while shooting 20% from 3. That ain’t it.

 

all good. understandable.

 

please do not put reed in the starting lineup. he will be wasted there.

 

Sengun cant even wipe jokic’s *******

 

When Reed is that hot and you start him in the 2nd half, you have to draw up some plays for him.
