ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 12/18/2025

Gotta run out of juice eventually lmao

 

All in all pretty good game. I saw a lot of positives tonight. Go rockets!

 

Houston crowds, outside of the playoffs, are pretty meh.

 

they probably win all 3 games.

 

Ime is an alchemist

 

This L on Ime. Stubborn ahole

 

Sengun can’t be taking the last shot 2 games in a row! Need to give it to kd and let him take it or kick it out for an open look

WE BROUGHT SNAKE FOR A REASON GODDANGIT!!!!!

12-15 and refuse to pass it to him

 

This loss right now means they are not all there, they have done this all year though, they play down to the competition. They are mentally not looking to dominate teams and when they do, the other team always gets back in it.

 

They were still looked at as a contender. They are probably the 5th team in the West.

 

tbh I don’t like watching him play anymore. All he does is flop and shoot weird angled shots. He’s also not a good finisher anymore for some reason. He’s too slow to initiate the offense on the perimeter but the stupid as coach has him out there. He should be operating in the post because he can’t shoot either.

 

Fred is punching air right now. No way he’d let this happen.

 

A lot of us called this in the 4th quarter when we had 3 non shooters and JSJ who was taking r****ded shots and making no effort to run plays for Durant. If you are playing 3 non shooters you are prioritsing the ball to Durant and playing ISO, not fukn Sengun ISO. If the line up isnt working take fukn Adams off earlier and change the lineup to have some actual 3 point threat. Don't wait till the last 15 seconds to put one of the most impactful +- minus players in.

Reed had 2 quality chances to tie it, but he was ice cold after being left on the Bench for like 10 mins.

Ime is a fukn idiot

 

Positives? We lost to the worst team in the league

 

We were up 25 on the worst team in the league and lost.

 

The team is full of mental midgets.

And an incompetent coach.

 

So I'm assuming you'll then account for a big man who is the best in the league only behind the best basketball player in the world - Jokic - being forced to play to his weakness for 99% of every game behind the 3 point line.

Or.... I'm guessing you won't actually account for that in your assessment and pretend you're right in what you say with what your eyes are (wrongfully) telling you?

The fact you then went and claimed Amen on D is masking big issues is even more hilarious.

Are you living in the past of last season when Amen was allowed to terrorise on the defensive end? Newsflash, he hasn't been close to the defender he was last season thanks to coach Udoka's clown schemes.

 

Stupid lineups, no ball movement, no adjustments, no plays, no inbound plays.

 

man stop

 

Can’t turn the ball over like that and expect to win against anyone. This team needs a legit PG. Ya’ll hate Fred, but Fred ain’t running a team handing out turnovers like that. We need a real PG
