ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 2/5/2026

I only wanted KD if we could keep JG and DB - I was fine with Reed, FVV being dealt and Amen going back to bench with Tari …

 

I mean the Suns have nothing outside of Devin Booker (Jalen has been useless with his hamstring) and yet thanks to Brooks, they are going to be in the playoffs and at the rate that we are going and the rate that the Suns are going, Phoenix will be in the top 6 and our asses will be in the play-in.

 

the opposing teams hunt and get to rockets mismatch so fast and with ease

rockets take the entirety of 20 seconds to find their right matchups to get to work. by the time they get the right matchup, the basketball is already a grenade.

 

The one positive thing from the post game is the absolute bitterness. Which indicates something has to give before the season ends.

The futility is in full display, is too embarrassing for the owner and too disrespectful of KD. And you can't trade people

 

Rockets sucked tonight. But Hirnets have been one of the hotter teams in the league lately. Theyre definitely not a “bottom feeder”. Pay attention lol

 

Feel exactly the same... and I miss the identity that we had last season. This season just feels like a slog even during wins, and a handful of wins this season were like pulling a rabbit out of a hat because of Reed Sheppard. Whether it's because we're missing Dillon Brooks or Jalen who knows.. but I don't think it's debatable which team had the better chemistry between this season and last.

 

I was going to post the clip but someone beat me to it. Essentially that he can’t defend and it’s been like that since he got here.

 

Me too.

Let me guess. We need some more toughness and physicality. Amirite?

 

I couldn't tell if it was a strong dig (Ime said it in the flat affect way he always uses), but Senguin was as bad as I have ever seen. And it wasn't just bad rotations, it was no effort. I saw him watch as dude got open lanes or a rebound falling right in front of him without taking 1 step towards it

idk what it is but the energy is terrible and Udoka would not be wrong in calling out this bichy ass behavior. This dude was supposed to take the reigns smh

 

and your job as a coach is to minimize those mismatches and adjust to the opposing teams game plans, yet you have to failed to do so. But what the **** do we know, right? We are just fans

 

Bum effort

bum coach

bum GM

Amen no handle AND no J

Reed a ghost

what a joke

 

Just treat it as another rebuilding year. We got rid of Jalen which we needed to do and basically got to see alot more of on ball Amen and Reed. Jabari has improved even though this board hates him and we got to see Senhub regress.

I just want to keep seeing Amen and Reed get reps, would prefer to see Amen take a lot more 3s and for Reed to be a bigger focus. Sit Durant every other game and prep for next year.

 

Kind of wild to just insult your own player like that so casually lol

I mean yeah Sengun's defense did suck but still...starting to see why the vibes look so bad

 

Silas level bad. Sengun played about as half assed as I have ever seen him play. These guys don't give a **** right now. No chemistry whatsoever.

But, hey, at least we didn't make any effort to improve this group at the trade deadline!

 

I was there tonight. It was pure dogshit effort by Sengun and Bari was yelling at his ass towards the end.

 

When we knew Ime was a tard @Reeko
