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

It is only one thing, too much Durant, take the ball out of his hands late and we win.

Oh god.

Tell me you're an idiot without telling me an idiot.

Do you think starting in the post has any difference to starting on the perimeter and getting into the post?

Tell me, seriously, do you think there's a difference there?

HAHAHAHAHHAHA - I hope the use of my caps there emphasised how idiotic you are.

Why do I get the feeling you're a Jalen alt account.

 

great. a bench player about to outhustle the whole rockets lineup.

 

We missed our opportunity to sell high on Jabari after the Warrors series.

 

Jabari was -20 last night. Next closest to him was Okogkie at -3.

Reed was +17 on the right side of the ledger.

This team without a true ball handler will straight up struggle when Aquaman is on the bench. His offensive rebounding breaks the calculus enough for us we can get by without the primary ball handler.

Not playing Aaron Holiday is borderline criminal..... Ime really struggles with common sense in the rotations.

 

Last 2 were unnecessary losses

 

You must have missed Alpi dominating the endgame in New Orleans....

We need a ballhandler and ability to draw up plays more than your suggestion.

 

We lost to 4 of bottom 5 teams in the western conference.

Jazz, Mav, Pelicans, Kings.

 

lol at how mediocre we look.

 

Went to sleep rather than watch the second half of another loss by the 6 seed

 

Nah we would be in the lotto by now without KD

You know what KD is averaging? 25/4/4 on 63% TS and you think we would be better without him? SMH

 

Well, that's a given. I don't think that at any point in their careers Bari was better than Murray.

 

Ime bag lickers think KD brings some magic curse, inspite of these stats. They also forget that their lord Ime recruited them in the first place.

 

My observation tonight. The Rockets blew this game in the 4th quarter. Jabari Smith and Reed Sheppard taking bad shots without moving the ball around. There are some players on this team that when we get a big lead, they start trying to do too much. Reed Sheppard should have been yanked. He was involved in defensive action everytime. If he's not stealing the ball off of quickhands, he's getting g torched. Keegan Murray and Dennis Schroeder. Alpi gets tired and starts searching for fouls. Plays somewhat soft in the crunch. This team really needs a point guard! Someone to setup the offense. Kd should be put on the block, instead of having to create from the top of the key. Ime didn't use his double big lineup at all tonight either so we got outrebounded. Last thing this team needs to work on free throws again.

 

10-11 pts lead is nothing in the 4th in the 3 pointer era.

 

Pathetic team. Waste of a year.

 

100!

 

We were better last year, clearly.
