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

As great as Amen was last night equally dog **** tonight.

4 days off followed by 3 days off

 

Amen really sucked tonight. You could feel like this was a game the rockets were ok “giving away” with who they decided to sit tonight. I hate that this is a normal part of the league these days

 

He gets so much credit for boston, anyone could have gotten that team that far

 

Reed seems to be the only player on the team with any real consequences for any type of bad play

 

Since we dont play like Thursday lets lock amen in the gym so he can work on his offense and stop with the most predictable passes.

 

I hate the way Sheppard is being „developed“ right now.

he gets yanked for everything but people complain when he‘s timid. Whenever he does get yanked and doesn‘t play much, he also doesn‘t get the garbage time minutes either.

If you wanted to destroy a players confidence as effectively as possible, we sure are doing a great job on Reed.

 

rockets win this game with Steven Adams.

 

yea I get that coaches can have bad games just like the players, that’s fine. But when certain things become a pattern, that’s when it gets frustrating. Especially when you can tell it’s detrimental to winning games.

 

As evidenced by what happened immediately following his departure.

It's literally the reason people claim he's a great coach.

That viewpoint is slowly but surely going to change for a large portion of Clutchfans as the next couple of years drag on.

 

Die hards spend their Saturday night watching Rockets lose to an inter-state team.

Get 'em next time.

 

That reed run was fun now he has came down to earth.

 

Udoka is good, but he messed up when he advocated to trade for KD.

 

He's played with back spasms and a groin injury. so for him to not even be on the sidelines, it's not little

 

did we win?

 

Didn't Amen just have a 31 point game last night??? Some of these Amen Bad takes are overreactions.

Our worst losses have come in b2bs, maybe it's a conditioning issue for the team. The defense has been pretty terrible on both of our b2bs.

KD, Jabari, the only two key players that showed up tonight.

Yall can decide who gets the most blame from the rest of them but put it simply, too many guys played terribly.

 

There are agendas to be pushed that's how

 

reed wont lose confidence. thats the best part about reed.

 

Someone needs to ask Ime the right questions in the postgame..

 

I don’t know why Ime has such a short leash on Reed. Amen did more stupid TO entire game but played him but 2 mins of bad play is good enough to bench him? This was a lost game since early 3rd quarter but till the end he force Reed to ride the bench like he was the reason we lost the game! Mavs were clearly on the mission to win this game by looking at having full lineup up till final two minutes while up big

 

He's good, obviously.

He isn't great.

And he isn't going to elevate a good team to great.

He is a baseline raiser.

He isn't a ceiling raiser. He has far too many deficiencies for that.
