ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/11/2025

Most of that gotta be career-highs

6th Rocket in franchise history with 30 points at age 20 or younger

4th Rocket with 30 points 8 rebounds age 20 or younger
.

 

I don’t think anyone is complaining about the resting of players. It’s the **** quality of the bench after Cam, Reed, Unc and Holiday. We are carrying 3 bums and Dante.

 

I’m very unsatisfied with tonight’s game. Looks like Ime didn’t even plan out strategy for tonight’s game which is poor sportsmanship to the viewer for both cities. Just by looking at past two games I don’t think Ime has any intention of developing Cam and Reed as future of Rockets. Players can go load management, coaches don’t need to

 

Well 48 ain't bad. At least Cam showed up with 34 points. He's looking like a high potential 6th man candidate next year.

 

Um how deep of a bench do you need...?

 

Getting good shape is my concern.
If we lose 4 games in 1st round because of rusty, what would you say? They are too good to beat? We are too young?

 

Yeah demar smh

 

I just want NBA caliber players on the team. We are carrying 3 non nba caliber players on guaranteed contracts

 

A lot of people here dont understand what is going on, the Rockets locked up the 2nd seed already every game is meaningless. The only starter still playing is Jalen because he wants to keep his ironman streak, but everybody else is wrapped in bubble wrap in case somebody gets injured. All it takes is for somebody to step on a dude's ankle and he out for the playoffs.

It is also good for the Rockets to have the other guys get more PT. Cam and Reed get more PT and we even see NFaly Dante play well for an undrafted big man.

 

The Rockets will have 1 week of none playing as they wait for playins to result. Even if Sengun plays 40 mins every game he will still have one week of no play before playoffs.

So your good game concern is meaningless.

Moral of the story is you need to stop b****ing about everything.

 

Until you cannot pay them, it will sort itself out when players grow older and demand bigger contracts.

 

The 3rd game we start him?
Cam is deseved more time.

 

We dont have to sit all players.
You need to stop b****ing.

 

They have 1 week to wait play-in, we have one more reason to play games to stay shape.

Your words make no sense.

 

It misfired, leaving Jalen Green there to play with 2nd to 3rd stringers and him looking like the player he once was and even worse than the Silas player......

Zero thoughts went into it and that is a big criticism on Ime.

 

100% dude belongs in la liga. DD was right! Curse is broken

 

If your argument is not playing games makes them rusty why will playing them now make any difference? So they play now they are in shape they dont play 1 week so they are rusty come playoffs.

You are the one who doesnt make any sense.

 

@REEKO_HTOWN and I are on team Whitemore. What about you bro?
