    Don’t feed the trolls. Clutchfans is becoming tougher and tougher to enjoy with all the obvious trolls. The ignore button makes the streams too incongruent. Mods need to start banning obvious trolls like this James Harden Stepback 3 guy. He hasn’t had a coherent thought or said anything remotely intelligent since he first appeared.

    Not sure if this is rage baiting or not despite the recent struggles, regardless, this team has a **** ton of talent but a mediocre coaching staff. That’s the issue bruh

    Yeah, I need to make a thread rescinding this. It’s a very talented roster that wins inspite a useless coaching staff.

    Terrible post, this team has easily one of the most talented rosters. Missing FVV hurts, with him you have a very good bench in Eason, Adams, Sheppard, DFS, Okogie, and Capela.

    Amen hasn’t been as consistent but he’s improving,. Durant is as advertised. Bari has improved, Sengun has been great and sometimes dominant, Tari and Adams are giving you exactly what you’d want for their roles, and Reed has taken a big step forward.

    The real killer is losing all these OT and close games. Mainly due to boneheaded turnovers and poor defense.

    The talent is there and we’ve been winning based on it. But the lack of an offensive scheme, defensive lapses, and turnovers are keeping us from being a contender.

    It is not Talent breh, it is just a wide gap between the players......plus not many real playmakers.

    37 and 23 year olds that is all.

    Our talent doesn't fit, it is lacking a very important skill of creator on the dribble......to tie it all together.

    We have a lot of catch and shoot talent and scoring talent, and defensive talent, we lack the creator.

    I'm not sure you need to be making any new threads at all, actually.

    The Rockets are 6th overall and 8 games over .500. Clearly, they have talent. Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun are among the most talented players in the NBA. Lots of teams have talent and all teams will have ups and downs. The Rockets are good enough to compete with any team in the league. Maybe they win the title, maybe they get eliminated along the way, maybe they don't even make the playoffs. Anything can happen. None of that means they don't have talent.
