ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/21/2025

Onto the next weak team.

Our guys like KD and Sengun will play like stars again.

 

Sengun played right around his averages against Denver. He does not do well against them.

 

Did we win yet?

 

That's literally the most emotion I've ever seen about the cup games.

I thought literally no one cared.

It matters very little to me if the players get a worthless trophy and a bonus. By very little I mean absolutely none.

The floor thing has to go. It's annoying watching all the players look like they have sunburn because of the pink reflection.

 

And that's 0-3 against actual contenders, and 0-4 against decent teams.

 

Everybody screaming to give him minutes and we he gets them they are an excuse for missing 2 FT’s. Give me a break. When he plays good praise him, when he plays bad admit it. He struggles when teams start playing physical with him. In the first half, he was our best player. In the second half he got intimidated. It is the next hurdle he is going to have to adjust to. That being said, he is now our most important bench player and his instant offense picks the whole team up when they are in the doldrums. At this point, I don’t care who starts as long as Amen/Okogie/Reed are the guard rotation. Holiday should be garbage time only.

 

Tari and DFS together can give you 30-50 points with really good defense though. You cannot leave anyone of these guys open either. Denver is not all that scary compared to us. We just gotta get more games and better chemistry.

 

Indeed. It was so frustrating and surprising as well that Ime never told his players to look for Reed, who was open a number of times but never got the ball. Ime should insist that whenever Alpi and KD are swarmed, they should look for the hot hand and not force anything. The lane was often packed tonight, and the Nuggets were daring the Rockets to shoot. When Reed started making them pay, his teammates forgot about him practically the whole second half. This loss is on Ime, Alpi, and KD.

 

Come on. They didn't have Gordon who have ability of dropping 50+ pts.

 

Nah but the Test Match is tightening up, really evenly poised right now just after lunch on Day 2. England 5/83 and lead by 123 with the Aussies to bat again

 

Milwaukee and Cleveland were good quality wins against legitimate playoff teams.

 

If the most lights out shooter on this team plays the most minutes he has and shoots his FT short…it’s obvious


Curry would have gassed the same way any NBA player would. The point was to not waste possessions and have him just dancing around looking to get a pass that never came

 

That is what you get for expediting everything, everything has to be sped up....

It takes at least 2-3 years of playoff failures and battling there to get where the Nuggets are.....

And OKC Durant was mostly a 2nd or 3rd round exit when the Warriors were around, the reason he went ring chasing in the 1st place.

 

So since Portland beat OKC are they a better team than us?

 

yea but the team signed KD. they expect to win now

of course they can still do it but i'm not liking how KD doesn't show up against good teams in crunch time.

 

They took Sengun and KD out. The team is not a contender.

 

Denver plays smart like a well oiled machine

we play stupid


One of those is very important in winning post season


If I had to put $$$ down I would pick DEN on bets, unless coaching wakes up or changes

 

Sure, just saying KD has seen decades of Playoffs, and the rest has seen what, 1 Year of Playoffs?

It is better than nothing I suppose. KD is gassed already, lol at 37, that is most natural.

 

Nope I don’t trust this team at all. I don’t trust KD, Sengun and I definitely don’t trust Ime in the playoffs

 

lol dude Sengun played like ****. He’s had a great year but we should be able to admit when he plays like crap.
