ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 1/18/2025

I catch their games from time to time because of late night west coast games.

The arena itself and the atmosphere is still rocking because it's their only major sport organization. Unless you count the timbers but people barely watch MLS.

I do think the fandom and attendance is noticeably dying but I think it's a combination of them no longer have a clear cut superstar and the cost of going to games increased.

Portland love their blazers just like Seattle loved their sonics. They'll continue to support but idk how much longer they can endure being mid.

 

Out. Thigh soreness I think?

 

Calf tightness

 

I really hope Amen is healthy enough to go tomorrow against the Pistons. They may err on the side of caution since it's an early 1PM start. It would be cool to see him go against Ausar. We can stick him on Cunnigham who has been hot lately. He was sorely needed in our first matchup against them which ended up being a close game

 

I'd lay high odds the soreness in his leg is just something he and most guys would normally play through, and they were just taking the opportunity against a terrible team to get him some much-needed rest & recovery. Dude has been averaging 39.1 minutes the past 6 games and he's never played that kind of minutes load before in his basketball career.

 

"I'd lay high odds" that Detroit gives the Rockets a very tight game and may get the W. Then the Rockets play the Cavs twice, the Celtics, and the Hawks. 1-4 is best case scenario for the next 5. The East is a beast. Sorry. We don't play.

 

Edit: Welcome to the ignore list btw

 

Oh, darn, you fake put me on ignore.

Not my fault you can't handle the truth.

"The scary & mean guy told me the Cavs, Celtics, and Hawks will beat my precious Rockets. No worries though. I put him on ignore, so he can't hurt me anymore."

 

"we"

 

Right!


The West is the Best !
