ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 3/29/2026

The Rockets are going to retire Jae'Sean Tate's jersey number

 

bro, he's 2/5 from 3 and has 20 minutes total tonight

THe bench came in and completely blew the lid open without dickerson on the floor, that's why you see such a heavy skew for the +/- numbers

Why you are you manufacturing an agenda, if you are expecting a 2nd year player, 1st year of real minutes to come in and outscore everyone that's unrealistic. Tari went 1/3 of the season without making a 3 practically and you're all over him now come on J.R.!!!

Reed definitely needs to work on his autistic tendencies for sure

 

Toyota Center needs to play Madonna holiday everytime Aaron hits a 3.

 

He has come a long ways from Ohio State

 

wouldn’t have this win without holiday.

 

A'ight I want to see Alpi let it fly from now on

At least four 3PA a game. No excuses after a game like this.

Don't care if it ends up looking like Draymond shooting it for now, take the damn shots if they're giving them to you.

 

Holiday is a big piece of our puzzle

 

It looks like DFS will be the only Rocket not to play. I wonder if he's hurt or something is up.

 

You're right. He was good the last 5 games or so, but tonight was even better! Here are his averages over last 5 games.

• 22.2 Points
• 9.6 Rebounds
• 6.6 Assists
• 1.0 Steals
• 1.6 Blocks
• 64.1% Field Goal Percentage (50-of-78)

Tonight he sits at 36 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks. Supernatural!

 

This sent me down a rabbit hole. Thanks.

 

Player of the Game.

Aaron “Madonna” Holiday

yall love the plus minus. So I’m going with the highest.

you win a $50 gift card from whatever restaurant bill and Calvin would give out.

 

I’m glad Katie and Udoker helped him to have this performance

 

This game is really how the Rockets looked a lot last year.

Sengun looks like an allstar again. Jabari is playing the best basketball of his life so far. KD was just part of the teams success. Tari is being the chaos merchant we've been missing.

I really think the key though was just using Holiday and Tate and Capela more. Just opening up the bench seemed to put a lot more energy on the court consistently throughout the game. To me that's the one change that I suspect has helped.

Still, the past two opponents are not quality opponents. We'll see how they look against a Knicks team that's also fighting for seeding.

 

Sengun probably just stopped giving a **** about trying to appease Dickerson and the results speak for themselves.

 

Maybe he finally did enough to get into Ime's doghouse

Didn't know that could even happen with a defensive veteran

 

Gotta say, all credit goes to Jalen and Sil@ss.

 

Can I go to bed already? Is it safe?

 

blocked racist haters of clutch's fake accounts.

 

THEY JUST CALLED AARON HOLIDAY THE X-FACTOR AT A +40
