ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 1/22/2026

I think it's the opposite - they consistently do a few things well but otherwise succumb to the same problems because the roster construction was unbalanced can't survive the loss of FVV, Dillon and Jalen.

So, they play slow, overrely on KD, bad spacing, rely on Anen to guard everything, turnover a lot/don't create TOs

All predictable at this point

 

Yeah you’re right they are consistent with that. I guess I just mean they go from beating a top tier West team to losing to likes of Utah, Dallas etc.

 

Reed basically brought us back into this game and then Udoka benches him the ENTIRE overtime?

What the hell is Udoka’s problem?

 

We played well in the 4th quarter, until we didn't right at the end and in overtime, after playing well in the 4th quarter against ""contender"" San Antonio

We're 1-5 in overtime

I don't know man this team confuses me

But I do know we look a lot better when Reed Sheppard is hitting three pointers and putting the fear of [the] god [of good spacing] into opposing teams, so maybe we should try letting him play a little bit more in crunch time

 

Most of the losses have reoccurring themes:

1). Turnovers
2). Inconsistent defensive effort
3). Bari’s poor shooting

tonight our team was actually getting good looks and shooting well. Head-scratching loss.

 

Add Ime being an ***.

 

That’s cool. But next time when you’re not feeling it can you please stop giving the ball to the other team.

 

Props to Alpi for being honest. The team was doing better when he was sitting on the bench in the 4th quarter. Some days a player just doesn't have it. What's not OK is missing most of the FT's.

 

Guys can’t I take one night off for work and have you all hold down the fort?

 

This organization is horrible

 

Capela was playing great and then gets 15 mins
Reed got benched for all of OT. Jabricki on full display but plays 38 mins


Our coach is the worst when it comes to rotations and Xs and Os. Thats why we are 1-6 in OT we lack any execution or direction when it matters most.

 

yep. Get Turner in the deal too. Sengun isn’t it

 

I’m an Amen fan, but when he tries to go one-on-one - especially late in games - it’s a scary sight.

 

So many careless turnovers from him the last two games.

 

i agree with this. That lineup was rolling. The lanes were open with no sengun clogging it.

 

Sengun with 0 pt in 4th quarter and OT.

Ime didn't blame anything on Sengun.

SOFT

 

I love this theory and I hope it holds water

 

Udoka is a biased fool.

 

@WestendMassive i need a battlefield report. Is this loss on the refs, the players, or clutchfans? Or Al the above?

 

you forgot another huge one, missed free throws. If we just shoot a normal team free throw average tonight we win comfortably
