ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 12/6/2025

Oh man, we got blown out by Jazz on the back to back

 

It’s not new, they figured out and defended Reed since last PHX game when he first started. They ran him out the three point line when ever he caught the ball but he bounced back right away in GSW game by going midrange but since that game opponent also sealed his mid range. Next step for Reed is getting better on handling and finishing around the rim, so far his weakness is not able to beat 1v1 and shaky pass out in pressured moments (that’s why opponent go full court press when Reed is on the floor)

 

It's a road B2B and the Rockets are shorthanded, so I'm expecting a loss.

I hope I'm wrong though.

 

Kidd is a good coach and has a struggling team playing very hard. I hope our guys end it by the 3rd, or this could very easily become a trap game.

Aside from the the main core, Clint should out up one of his better games of the season. The only players I care to watch on an inferior Texas team is Naji. His effort is relentless and he's one of the underrated guys in the league. Teams will be actively calling with low ball offers for him and Klay in the next weeks.

 

Surprised to see AD set to play, thought he wasn't a b2b guy.

As long as KD is playing, I expect good things, and if we get some Bari small ball center...I think Amen will have another huge game. Lots of space for him then.

 

Love me some Saturday night hoops, especially after Friday night hoops..

… and Texans prime time tomorrow night. Great sports weekend!

 

That’s the positive attitude we need!

@Hank McDowell I think long shot parlays are about as fun as gambling gets. Care to share the details? I’ll be rooting for it to happen!

 

Lively is out and Gafford is listed as doubtful. Amen needs to be in full-on attack mode, try to get AD in early foul trouble.

 

Reed over 5 points, Reed over 1 3, Reed over 2 assists, Reed over 3 rebounds. Pays +151 and it really SHOULD hit! But...

 

Reed or Jabari need a 20 pt game

 

Argh

 

Very doable. Screened shot this so I can cheer with you during the game.

 

Even when you win a bet you still lose. No matter how many times you get excited over a winning guess, it will come back one day to get you and be in much worse shape. Betting is designed to keep people betting until they lose it all. Get out while you can otherwise inevitability will get you.

Signed: The Future

 

Good thing I’m not on the sauce. But I do hope hank collects.

 

Any Mavericks fan sticking around after the Luka trade is beneath contempt.

 

This guy should have been promoted, not fired. Stupid Les, best Rockets social media we ever had.

 

Love the appropriate abuse of free child labor boretainment for paying customers of a professional franchise worth billions.
