ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 1/27/2025

Illness is normally flu ....might be some other bug .....do they still call Covid ....Covid related issue...

 

Man, I look at the standings and have to wonder how much better our record would look if we hadn’t lost to Utah, charlotte, golden state, or Portland early on. We’d have such a bigger cushion but it is what it is.

 

Oh look the post right above mine. LOL

 

I'm a little jealous that you're late to the party as someone who just watched it. The adrenaline high was so good.

 

are you asking for a friend ?

 

It’s not covid or otherwise contagious, because he tried to play thru it vs CLE, but started throwing up at half-time.

 

Not gonna lie, gonna go teach my son that game winning euro Amen did right now. To go so fast and then de accelerate is such a great skill.

 

We didn’t deserve the 1st CLE game

 

Is there any site to watch full games replay? Missed the game due to work.

 

Pretty sure we never lost to Utah.

 

Jalen's defensive improvement has been drastic. Credit to him for obviously working his ass off to get better in that area.

 

I think most of us here will enjoy these Amen highlights called by the Celtics announcers.

 

Maybe Noro virus

It's really nasty if you get it.

I just hope the rest of the team doesn't get it.

 

Don't hope for food poisoning.....stomach flu ...

 

(About 1 min into the video)

Reporter: "That final play, Ime... he said he drew it up for you to score. What did he or anybody else say to you before that?"

Amen: "No he didn't say anything; he just drew up the play and I was like Oh shooot HAHAHA I will take this HAHA"

 

If it’s already been posted my bad but this is wild

 

Hey, we won

 

I hadn't realized that with this W/L between our teams, Rockets went to #3 seed overall.

Sweet!

And on top of that Memphis lost!

 

DO NOT FORGET

that Alperen and JG and even Fred were the targets of the Celtics defensive gameplan tonight.

DB converted open looks created by Alperen/JG/Fred gravity. Amen took advantage of that space as well.

 

Yeah - he is and has been an immense talent, top 3 athlete in the league since the first time he stepped on an NBA court.

However his lack of a shot and gravity on offense has kept him from really looking like a true franchise player on the offensive side.

Tonight - this was one game, but it looked different. He looked and acted like an emerging superstar - and his shot creation and even shooting started to come together.

Massive development for the Rockets if he continues a trajectory towards superstardom.

Last player I saw start to put it together like this was Giannis in Milwaukee.
