ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Kings 12/21/2025

Gang, if we need a point guard to beat this kings team, there is something wrong the organization.

 

If Adams has looked bad how come most of our losses come with him not playing? When we lose to these shitty teams its with him out on a B2B or dealing with something.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=rockets+record+this+season+with+and+without+steven+adams,+net+rating

Rox go from +11 to -0.6 Net rating when he doesnt play.

 

2 terrible plays in the end of the 4th:

Thompson had Okogie wide open underneath for a layup but passed it out to Sengun at the 3 with clock running out

Durant waived off an Amen screen up top only to go left into 2 guys. Probably got fouled but no call. Regardless he pulled a whitmore and drove into 2 guys. Sengun should have cut also when he saw the guy leaving him to double Durant.

Bad decision making. Turnovers. Blowing the 15 pt lead was stupid. Terrible shooting and turnovers by Sheppard in that stretch as well.

 

Durant has certainly had bad issues, bad moments.

But it's a stretch to say that a 5th year Jalen Green has "acceptable low IQ". Especially considering that Jalen doesn't have other parts in his game to compensate for that.

But yeah, 37 is still 37. That's when Kobe & D Wade retired. Durant is greatly beating age standards. But he shouldn't be "the guy" running offenses

 

If we need Harden to beat the ******* Kings might as well tank for the no 1 pick next year.

 

5th year jalen green is still 23.

 

Jalen hasnt even played he is banged up. That dude is delulu

 

Oh no we're the Suns lol

 

Jalen hasnt even played except 1 game. If we kept people would be losing our minds with FVV, JG, DFS and Tari all out.

 

Sorry, just being a bit hyperbolic in my frustration. I really don't think we're playing up to our potential and that bothers me a lot.

 

4 sec mark.

yup. wide open layup for okogie had amen hit him on the cut. but nope gotta pass it to sengun or durant. hell, if you watch the play develop, sengun could have hit okogie right at the basket. smh

 

Clint Capela gave them a 5-0 run btw.
But no one wants to hold this clown accountable.

 

Teams are swarming KD, Reed, Alpe and (Amen)......lol, nobody swarming Okogie. INEVITABLE.

 

Rockets stats in 2nd back-to-back game is much worse than their usual average. The games Adams doesn't play. All losses

Its not just the performance being worse, it's WHO ITS to. To crappy teams the Jazz, Mavericks, & Kings

Adams plays ugly unconventional basketball in an ugly scheme. But it points to Adams masking some deficiencies, more than he himself being one

 

Adams was not even supposed to be that good initially lol.....but yeah he overachieved on ORebounding......

 

We would probably have a better record lol

 

Nice game, Jabroni

 

i agree. I don’t get why he only plays capela 10-12 min when he plays in place of Adams. Capela is solid defensively. Thought Tate and Holliday should have played since it was back to back

 

You’re a braindead Ime bag licker.
