ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 2/8/2025

It was only a matter of time.

 

clutchfans poll who is more disliked in rocket fan circles. Silas or Bobbythegreat. I think youd give him a run for his money

 

There are a ton of dumb people here, so maybe.

 

Well he would've gotten Reed about 4 extra shots to miss since he won't take him

 

So we aren’t getting 40 wins before 20 losses?

 

We need a bouncer in this thread!

 

I agree Bobby ain't bright.

 

I said it before when they made the trade Dallas now is like a better version of Wolves last year. Gafford/Lively, AD, PJ Washington, they have the crazy long frontcourt Wolves last year had. And Wolves last year was our worst matchup so not surprised Rockets got destroyed this game.

With that said the 3 best players Amen, Sengun and Jalen all showed up tonight, its the rest of the team that played like scrubs. The entire bench was trash, people keep getting mad at Jalen being inconsistent but Whitmore literally only has good games vs bad teams. We have the worst guard backups in the entire league Reed/Holiday combo 3 pt specialists who can't shoot.

 

It's hard to win a game when your team shoots
28.6% from behind the arc and your opponent shoots 52.2%. Our bench was horrific shooting today.

But, that wasn't the only reason we lost. Our starters made a lot of errors too. Far too many missed layups and close shots. Our FG percentage was only 40% to their 47%. They were blocking shots left and right, and our turnovers didn't help matters either.

This is our turnovers and blocked shots by quarter....

End of the 4th Quarter

 

You tried.

 

The Mavs are better with AD as a team, but he looks like he has a groin pull and that is the danger betting on AD.

DD

 

The Rockets were due for a touch stretch. Not ideal timing but they still have time to figure it out. I trust Ime to turn things around. GO ROCKETS GO!

 

Id disagree. Jalen Green played sloppy all 4th quarter and cost us any chance with the bungled breaks and missed easy buckets.

 

He shot 47% from the field and 42% from 3 if he never played Rox wouldnt even be in the game in the fourth.

 

LOL what? He didn't have a no-trade clause.

Regardless, the Spurs got him for next to nothing. We should've made them bid up at the very least.

 

How was Sengun's defense? Didn't see the game

 

The refs forgot that he is no longer with the Lakers. The Lakers own the refs' whistles. The Rockets players were being fouled every time but the Mavs got most of the Lakers' foul calls even when AD and Christie were wearing different uniforms now.

 

Missed the game, did we win?

 

Thank God Tillman is smart enough to have Stone as the GM and not some random anti-Sengun poster.
