ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 12/18/2025

I would not mind him being 15ppg if he was locking up guys but tonight both Bari and Alpi was free bucket all night while Reed get beat once and he is out of the game.. I kinda want Amen goes back to PF and let Capala and Tari used as trade assets to get Keon Ellis and put an end to Amen PG era

 

this is all on you dude

 

Shook, you did not just bring up SL



nobody is playing defense, there are no defensive schemes, and it’s all rookies/sophomores/scrubs

 

Just finished watching recording (without knowing about the outcome at all). What in the actual ****.

 

yeah. i hate the rockets. I dont even know why i watch sports in general when i cant even do anything to affect the outcome. it's so dumb. it's not even fun, just causes anxiety. if they win a chip -- maybe i go to a parade and a get a hat. bragging rights to other couch warriors.

sports does not matter. they dont know me. they dont know i root for them to win.

what are we even doing?

 

its all i got.

 

The worst part of FVV getting hurt was starting this Amen PG era.

This team needs a PG in the worst way right now, not sure what is the move but there should be a move. We cannot go the rest of the season having KD, Amen, Sengun, sharing PG duties.

 

I hear you, but Keon Ellis isn’t a PG and would be even worse than Amen trying to cosplay as one

 

They prolly need a PG in the borderline AS level or at least very Quality Starter.....anything but easy to attain.

A Cameron Payne type prolly would not do.

 

Noo they just need a regular average starting PG that Ime trusts to play. They are not going to get an AS borderline level PG without giving up a key player. It'd be nice to get Coby White but the price might be a little too high.

The talent on the team is there, they just need someone to get them cleanly into their sets. Missing FVV really does suck.

People want to get on the future of this team and blah blah blah but you take a starting player off Denver, OKC, any of these teams they'd take a big hit. I know many here don't, but I trust Stone.

 

More than the Rockets in the 4th.

 

Ime does not trust anybody young, it has to be Mike Conley type of experience.

What stinks is that you do not have a pick swap in the 2026 Draft.....Kingston Flemings would be great now.

At least something to looking forward to.

 

WORST LOSS OF THE SEASON?

 

not just a pg, not just an offensive assistant. They need both.

 

Well there will be guards to get at the trade deadline I'm sure.

Either a big move will be made and we lose Tari or something or we'll get some vet for cheap.

 

The Utah Jazz game we lost showed me we have some holes to fill and cant play down to our competition.

 

Yeah they've been doing this all year. They will go toe to toe with the likes of OKC and Denver then come out and play a game like tonight.

I think whenever this happens, ball gets sticky, guys start playing for stats and not wins.

 

Jabari's salary next season will be a good trade piece to improve our roster
