ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 1/9/2026

Imagine being Jabroni in that 4th quarter. 0 for everything from 3 and he just kept jacking it

 

eh about the same lol 6-21 a normal game for Jalen

 

23% from 3... to go w 22% last game... and 24% vs suns... smh

 

I agree…to an extent. When you’re 0-8 from 3 and it’s crunch time, maybe you don’t need to hunt shots. Let KD or Reed take a couple more.

 

Reed doesn’t need the keys to ****. We need to trade for a PG.

 

Rockets traded for KD to get a clutch closer and erase bad execution in late game situations. Yet they are losing every single close game this year. Something needs to change quickly, this is looking very much like a 1st round exit team again.

 

Not contenders….not even close

 

It says alot that Spurs have leapfrogged us. We're going the way like the Grizzlies.

It was a mistake to stop tanking when we never got the #1 overall pick. You have to keep tanking until you get a generational franchise player or else you end up like the Rockets, mediocre for a decade until our guys get old enough to do another rebuild. If we were in the East, maybe it'd be fine but in the West you gotta be above and beyond your competition to win it all.

 

At one point, the shooting was 14% from 3, that had to be a record, rounded out to 23%.

 

The saddest part is that he was WIDE OPEN

 

I’ve seen worse, but yeah it was bad.

 

Rockets is a joke

 

Udoka

“took a 37 year old out for 2 min. 11 point run.”

 

I wish I could, my friend.

Tari wants a big contract, but is hurt AGAIN.

Bari is an "elite role player" who has forgotten who he is the last few games.

Alpi is OUT for the next few weeks.

KD is cool, but as we saw last year, he can't carry a team.

And Amen can't shoot beyond 15 feet.

Besides Reed, there's really not a ton to get excited about the next few games. Even if we miraculously beat OKC, I'm sticking to my guns in saying that we have no chance to win this season, even with Alpi back.

 

It honestly felt like there was a point to get him the ball. Listening to Ime I think he might have been trying to challenge the young guys to do something.

Yeah Bari missed his shots, but Amen went to sleep too, and Reed went back into passive mode.

 

Its so obvious to anyone actually watching. Teams are just going to leave amen wide open in playoffs like hes ben simmons/westbrook

 

We are overplaying kevin durant just to lose wtf man.

 

Jabari as a 3rd pick of a draft, us Rockets fan we’re fine him being supplementary starter guy but wow this is probably 2nd game that he just lost us a winnable game and 1st bad game was during his rookie year that made him cry. This game either wake him up or break him there no between

 

This is just too glaring … Amen has really tried but it’s clear there is no offensive direction on the team … just playing pick up basketball at this point. Need a really offensive coach that can actually design really offensive plays .. this is sad to watch

 

LOL yea I laughed at that also
