ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/3/2026

He sometimes plays well when we're winning comfortably but disappears and shrinks when things get tense. Don't bring up the playoffs because he only averaged 7 pts that entire Warriors series. Tired of people overrating that performance.

 

Yeah he's been looking great consistently over the past few games because he wasn't forcing shots and getting his in the flow of the offense. However, that is a little hard to do when you don't have KD and Alpi on the floor - without the gravity of those 2 All Stars, Bari just simply can't generate that good of looks for himself because he's just simply not there yet skill-wise.

 

Figured as much...hopefully he doesn't need to sit out an extended period of time.

 

@Snow Villiers can you confirm ?

 

Kevin Machale once brought us play West Conference Finals with his adjustments.

Ime is not close to that.

 

He's what...0-6, 0-7? and Naji Marshall and Cooper Flagg are far outplaying him.

 

sprain sprain ankle for spin spin dunk?

 

I saw this movie before in Dallas the last time

No Sengun, no Adams = no win in Dallas

 

Momentum not going Rocket's way, but just down 7 at the half.

 

Down Alpi and Adam is huge blows but also having minute restrictions on Tari and DFS does not help. We’re talking about Tate and Aaron who looses 30pts lead to single digits under 3 minutes in garabage time playing major rotation minutes

 

This is exactly what a segment of Bari fans won't accept. He's a limited player who needs to stick with what he does best and tread very carefully outside the box.

There were a couple of times in the 1st half he was uncontested in mid-range but chose to dribble closer, into the defender and draw contact. Of course, he missed both shots badly.

 

Bari get some arc on your ******* flat shot you bum

 

Yeah Bari chose a bad game to go bricking lol.

 

Man, AD is pissing me off

 

AD has an incredible whistle

 

These refs bruh

 

Wow, we waste runs so quickly.
