ClutchFans Game Thread: Suns @ Rockets 1/5/2026

Tari and KD fighting over the rebound leads to a Booker 3

 

For the umpteenth time, KD's gotta stop dribbling down to 5 seconds 30 feet away from the basket before he decides to make a move or pass the ball.

He has repeatedly killed the Rockets in crunch time doing this.

 

Durant going 1v5 from the three point line is not a ****ing offense.

 

That lineup with 4 minutes left was malpractice.

 

ime needs a Jeff Bzdelik version on offense.

anyone equivalent?

 

keep defending the creep udoka

 

We literally benched the players that helped us get that lead...and randomly put in players that haven't been playing well.

 

Stagnant standing around, no movement, what the hell

 

Why the hell is Holiday in there? We ain’t got no damn offense except watching KD dribbling to a TO.

 

This is coaching malpractice

 

Yep, they've got a 4 point play on that one

 

Ime with dumbass lineup - come on now

 

Reed +8, Amen -9. Both lead the team. Guess who gets to close?

 

You have to wonder with some of his decisons

 

I defended him a long time, I loved how intense we were on defense, the team had so much energy last season. I hoped for him playing more guys, better rotations, and prayed Rockets would hire an offensive assistant coach.

This year... yeah, his stubbornness is really frustrating, and we haven't found any fluidity on offense, injuries or not.

 

Opponents don’t respect Aaron or Tari’s three, they’re sagging off on them unlike Reed. Amen and KD have no room

 

Put Reed back in and get guys moving!

 

I think Kevin needs to start his play or iso early tbh. Too many times he does it so late something bad always happens

 

At least Bari is back in, not sure why Reed is out, just stupidity.
