ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 3/31/2025

What tech?

 

FVV Udoka terrorist game, been a minute since we had one of these

 

Damnit I thought the next game against the Lakers was at home -_-

 

Please stop posting. Your takes on who Jordan played against are embarrassing for you.

 

i knew the rockets left all their 3s in PHX.

 

Yes the refs were baaad, but we lost it on our own. No 3pt defense, no flow on offense. Poor rotations and killer turnovers in the clutch. You can't always count on luck.

On to the last stretch. Take care against Utah, take at least two of the remaining five and we're good to go.

 

Did you watch? Jalen was passing up shots, hiding on the court, passing to dillon with clock running low. That's why to answer your question.

 

Jordan didnt face Dream a lot since they were in diff conferences and Dream was playing with crackheads.

When the time Dream dragged his team to a ring Jordan was too busy getting clowned in the MLB. In the B2B Jordan couldnt even get to the Finals and lost in the ECF or something.

 

Guys like Jalen? Where was our "best player" and allstar?

 

There's so much more than 'the refs screwed us' tonight. Fred, Jalen and Alpi had terrible games. Defense was bad, too many open 3s, going zone, etc. I'm actually surprised it was that close.

 

I'm not a Holiday fan at all but we could have thrown him out there in the 2nd quarter to see if he had it going from deep. You can get away with him on the court when Vincent is in the game.

We really need to let Amen run the offense more often. There's gonna be some growing pains but it will be well worth it. When teams are packing the paint he is one of the few guys who can still get to the basket and find the open man in either corner.

Fred and Jalen getting catch and shoot 3s instead of having to go off the dribble all the time would do wonders for their percentages.

 

No, it's you underestimating them.

 

Sengun let Doncic score on a critical play. Doncic came off a high screen. Sengun switched but got to the spot too late but then didn’t stick with him instead gave him a lot of room on the drive to an easy layup. Brooks missed a couple on Reaves who scored way too easy one on one on the break. 2 missed FT’s by Brooks and Fred inexcusable as well. But too much collapsing on Bron and Luka leaving sorry players like Vincent open for 3’s.

 

Losing to ****ing LeFlop and the lakers while also having to listen to Reggie Miller is like being the middle person in the human centipede.

 

not worried about this one. the NBA clearly had an agenda. despite the refs and LA getting 40 from Smith/Vincent, the Rox still had a chance.
that soft Eason technical turned out to be pretty significant. smh.

this was a good playoff-like experience for what our young guys are going to go through in a few weeks.
move on and focus on the rest of the schedule.

 

I'm not. They just aren't there offensively yet.

 

Nah its you who is embarrassing thinking guys 40 yrs ago hold a candle to players today. Aside from generational talents like Dream the average player in Jordan era wouldnt even make GLeague today.

 

We really don't have a go to player when FVV is garbage from the field. They play hot potatoes with eachother and eventually get the ball to Brooks to shoot, it's really bad.

Sengun used to be so much more reliable in the paint, now it's just a close your eyes and clank

 

Man this team willl struggle so much during the playoffs, part of it not having a closer (alpi is not a closer) and part of it has to do with ime questionable lack of adjustments

 

and an extremely skinny man (silver)
