ClutchFans Game Thread: Suns @ Rockets 12/5/2025

Dillon's always had this Mamba mentality, it's just that for the most of his career, his Mamba mode would cause his teams to lose games because he couldn't hit those shots efficiently. When he first came to the Rockets, my first though was "he's a great addition to the team, but Ime MUST wrangle in Dillon's Mamba mode". He definitely cost Memphis some games with prime Ja because he forced too many shots, but I'm happy he's gotten to a point where he can hit these shots efficiently and turned himself into a 20+ PPG scorer.

 

KD is something else...a fine sight to see doing his thing as one of the good guys.

 

red versus black. that's gotta be wasis

 

You need to stop demonstrating your understanding of basketball and insult more players

 

Vintage KD showed up and of course turned this into a fun game. 21 points and 5 assists is ridiculous

But for all the whining about Amen he also quietly turned in 14 points on 8 shot attempts.

Going to need both of them to keep showing up to finish this one out.

 

They were so creative they really named them red and black? How about hawks and cougars

 

Ime really has kd and amen playing 20 min a half vs suns g leaguers

 

I spot a few future Rockets Franchise Players™ & Rockets Legends™

 

That kid is a future rocket. Excellent steal and miss the finish on the other end

 

or fire ants and deer ticks

 

Did amen teach these kids to play basketball? They can’t get it over the rim.

 

Coaches that have players like KD must have statistically better sleep cycles compared to their peers that have no such player.

 

he just ran out of talent

 

I spy the hidden hand of Stephen Silas

 

Yeah Okogie is certainly a superior defender so I can wrap my head around them playing him over Reed but I just don't see any benefit on playing Holiday if he is a lesser offensive player and they're a wash on defense. I err on the side of letting the young guy figure it out

 

Big 27 for the black team loves the Moses Malone rebounds

 

Now he really a rocket. Get a steal to tie the game and run out of clock first

 

both of those teams really needed Sengun tonight
