ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 4/13/2025

As it should. This is his 4th year. He can't afford to be a weak link.

 

Jalen would've been better served resting 3 games.

 

Bro just sit the starters in the 2nd half. I'm not seeing a lot of good things besides Amen and Sengun's play. Jalen has been awful for the last week. If you want to play to keep your games play streak alive, at least be half decent.

 

This will also be a learning experience for Ime. He will have to get used to playoff adjustments.

 

Jalen did not come to play. period.

 

this postseason will determine if Jalen will be a rocket next season.

 

He should have rested the previous two games with the other starters. What a disaster so far.

 

There isn't much to play for. The last game that mattered was a week ago vs Golden State and he showed up for that one. Same with the previous game against the Thunder.

 

Jalen won the competition against Murray in regards to the most inconsistent player of the year.

 

At the game - in addition to shooting better than us, the Nuggets are doing a very good job of tracking long rebounds off our misses. There’s been several possession where we’d typically have gotten the offensive rebound but a Nugget was already in the right place to grab it instead.

Wondering if the Rockets will even play any rotation guys in the 2nd half. It does worry me that our guys may have lost some sharpness due to finalizing our playoff seed.

 

Tilman ends the season with dancing kids, who could have seen this coming

 

All players, including the substitutes, scored at least 1 shot except Jalen

 

small lineup doesn’t work against DEN. Need smith. Unfortunately he’s out

 

Jalen green with 3 bad games in a row so far

 

Let us hope. Either he plays well and everyone wins, or he doesn't and gives us a path forward. Hopefully Stone isnt too stubborn about hatching all of his drafted eggs.

 

I thought he should have kept that continuity last 2 games then rest this one. Doesn’t make sense to rest then play them now.

 

We’re missing Jabari but yeah, also not liking our defensive strategy honestly.

 

People have been asking why Rockets want Booker. You got your answer.

 

neither did all the Rockets except Sengun and Amen. Adams looking lazy out there

 

They look a half step slow out there. I think it's entirely mental. There's nothing at stake for them.

It's still good for them to play this game and avoid too much rust.
