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

Yeah, he is a bust as a 3rd pick.....he should be like a 15th pick.....just another tall guy with average skills.

DD

 

KD is great at shooting, initiating a play...not so much.

Miss FVV and Sengun with that.

 

I’ll be at TC and occasionally see a Jabari jersey here or there

you’d have to waterboard me and then have me at gun point to ever put something like that on my body and walk out in public

 

He deserves the same shot Amen got to prove himself as the primary ball handler. Whenever he has gotten that chance he has excelled. I'd rather do that than overpay for some rental PG. Even with a rental this team isn't winning a damn thing.

 

then tell me genius, if you don’t think it’s the coach’s fault, shouldn’t you take someone out of the game who is a liability on offense and defense and single handedly lost you the game?

 

We could have used aaron holiday this game if tari was out ime..

 

Drafting Jalen Green then Jabari really ****ed up our rebuild. Even Amen is suspect because his shot is non-existent.

4th year Bari is shooting like year 2 numbers and he's been the most wide open he has ever been in his career this year.

 

Rockets shot 18 of 80 from 3 in these two games. That's 22.5%.

Amen hit 1 of 7. Jabari hit 1 of 17.

 

What? That's idiotic. The team just isn't built to win without him this year. Last year they were 4-2, I think but beat some really good teams without him. This year they don't have the athletes to mask his absence. They are slow and too methodical. Amen is the only one who can confidently push the ball from end to end for easy buckets.

 

Really awfull 4th quarter! They took KD out of positions and that was enough to win the game! This was mentally very very bad! This Team didnt locked like a contender not only tonight! You need too trade for a PG thats for sure in my opinion!

@Acemiyazar Stop provoke the people!

 

No. Nobody was fine with him being a complimentary player as the third fukin pick. I said 4 years ago. Jabari is a 25-30th pick draft material. This guy is straight trash iq on the floor. Only thing he has for him is his height and that’s sad because he rebounds like a pg. Jabari Smith doesn’t do one thing good enough. He is a future bench player, and that’s it.

 

-17 for Bari, -12 for Amen. They both should be better than this by now.

 

Reed was 5/18, don’t leave him off………….

 

We were down 4, got a stop, Amen was running with two guys...he just dribbled the ball into the defender. He does that so often, because he is not a point guard. That was the game.

 

OKC is not even at their best right now, they started to load manage which means they are willing to throw some games to re-integrate and recalibrate Jalen Williams' hand/wrist. For the ultimate run postseason.

The Story lines are Ajay Mitchell and can Topic come back.

 

Mental illness really does manifest in every way possible. Cannot imagine being at the Rockets Shop and walking out with a #10

 

Yea gotta admit, that was definitely kinda special. I don’t remember seeing a worse quarter either LOL. But we’re all part of history for having seen it! Thanks Jabari. “Anything is possiblleeeee”

 

Reed is a two. He's better off the ball.

 

Reed was open and ahead of the D too. Simple pass and he had a layup but Amen had tunnel vision.

We have the dumbest players and a deadshit coach who doesn't care when his favourites clearly have cold hands

 

I say it again. This team as it is isn’t winning anything. Can’t win with an inexperienced combo guard and another who can’t shoot beyond 10 ft. I would open up talks and make a move for a star guard trading Amen and Sheppard.
