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

FVV was horrible last night.
Tari was horrible in the 2nd half after being great to start.
Brooks, Green, Sengun were slow on closeouts in the 1st half.
Green, FVV, and Brooks stunk it up on offense in the 1st half.
4th quarter, Rockets got sloppy with stupid fouls, techs (FVV, Tari, Brooks)

 

One thing is for sure, from the same class, Trey Murphy from Rice is clearly better than Grimes!

GO OWLS!

 

He also has a bigger contract.

 

That is the most Rice looking group of people I've ever seen lol

 

Which one of these Rice students will be the next Rockets owner? My vote is either the top right corner or the kid with the glasses right up front.

 

A win is a win F that...

 

With ESPN putting lines on tickers, we will always have crooks. One day a HOF caliber player cooked up games.

 

Grimes, McCain, Maxey are the future of the 76rs once they get a medical exemption for Embiid & somehow get off Paul George.

 

Morey really took a s*** when he paid Paul George.

 

Yes, it becomes painfully obvious sometimes. You have to wonder how everything---standings, playoffs---would shake out if sports betting and league favoritism didn't play so heavily into the outcomes.

 

Morey went from an innovator in his early days with the Rockets to 'bring in some old guys for one last big score" in the last decade or so.

 

I let my son watch the game after he got home from school today. I said nothing of the result, he wanted to turn off at the half. I said just keep going you never know what happens.

It got to the last free throws with Jabari, he said before Jabari took his free throws he should hit the first and miss the second and get the offensive rebound and score. I couldn't believe even at 7 years old he could successfully predict the strategy that put the game into overtime.

After the game finished he said this game wasn't good for my heart. haha

 

[Highlights] All the possessions in the final dramatic minute of the 4th quarter last night - Houston Rockets vs. Philadelphia 76ers. Sengun with the putback to send the game to OT. Rockets commentary.

 

20-24 from the FT line (with 1 miss on purpose) was huge when every single point mattered.

 

Send him home Morley

Grimes attended The Woodlands College Park High School in The Woodlands, Texas, graduating in 2018.[1] He was the first basketball player in school history to letter on the varsity team and start in all games as a freshman. Over the course of his high school career he earned a weighted 3.38 GPA.[2] During his senior year of high school, Grimes averaged 29.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game, and led the College Park Cavaliers to a 21–13 overall record. He left high school with 2,863 points, 854 rebounds, 582 assists, 213 steals, and 127 blocks in total.[3] Grimes was named the All-Greater Houston Player of the Year,[4] the Gatorade State Player of the Year,[5] and a McDonald's All-American.[6] Just before entering college, he was projected as a top-5 pick in the 2019 NBA draft.

 

I will gladly eat this plate of crow for my comments in this thread. Phew! That first half was ugly.

 

I can see them trading PG for Beal. bad contract for bad contract but Morey is likely gonna prefer the future flexibility of the shorter contract length. with phoenix moving durant it makes sense also to get a wing replacement. philly gotta find someone to take embiid tho. maybe charlotte?

 

Except Beal would veto the trade because he doesn't want to move his family, who like Phoenix.

 

true LMAO
