ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 3/17/2025

Steven Adam cameo appearance made a MASSIVE impact.

 

2nd half JG shot 50% 8-16 and 5-11 on 3s … hell of way to bounce back

Alpi coming in ready to eat for OT

Bari coming in hot and then recovering after his bad start of 4th and hitting big shots

 

He has developed enough of his skills outside of his shooting he has a long career in front of him if he chooses and his health provides. He has crossed over the barrier in this regard.

 

Quentin Grimes is perfect to add. Makes too much sense.

 

I laughed.....they must have weakened with all the 3's pouring through.I was surprised to see Grimes only had 8 threes...it seemed like 16.

 

I was half joking of course when I made the post. But damn, I did not expect a wild ass game like this.

 

and that’s with the Sixers cooling off in the 2nd half

they shot 62% from the field and went 15-26 from deep in the 1st half…Ime subsequently disappeared Sengun from the game

 

Our perimeter defense is very weak, since Amen got hurt. That has to improve from the beginning of the 1st quarter. There should be no excuses about it.

Adams is needed instead of Landale in every game. He calms the team down, and improves our rebounding, passing and interior defense.

 

I’ll be at TC to witness it up close in person

we finally get playoff basketball again

 

That is freakin unreal....Every time Grimes shot I closed my eyes because I knew it was going in ...and that was the 2nd half.

 

Does this crazy win make up for the crazy Nets loss..? Maybe not.

But damn if it wasn't fun to watch the comeback. Jalen, Jabari, Alpi..these three guys came up big in a surprisingly important game.

THAT is growth. They're all clearly better players than they were coming into the team, and having both our veteran starters fouling out, coming up big in the clutch...I LOVE to see that

 

Minny lost to the hospital Pacers tonight and now the Warriors are down 12 at the half to the hospital Nuggets.

The way some of y’all act, this only happens to us.

 

Didn't even look like he was trying.

Strong, strong man right there

 

Rockets had 4 Picks in the 2021 NBA Draft

Rockets took Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Usman Garuba, Josh Christopher

Quentin was the next pick. The Rockets Passed up Quentin Grimes 4 Times. No wonder he was yelling at the Rockets with his 46 points.

Why didn't Tillman Ferttita not order to take Quentin Grimes. Tillman funds the Cougars. That is mismanagement.

 

Apparently the record is 48.

 

So is Jalen like going to get like any games off before the playoffs?

Not only is he playing every game he's racking up minutes now as Ime is keeping in there 35+ minutes almost every other game now.

 

I feel like every fanbase feels like it only happens to them. But you're right, trap games definitely happen. Coming back from a trap game and pulling out a win is monumentally rarer, though. Proud of our young fellas tonight. They came

 

That's none of our business.
