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

1-5 in OT with one of the best starting lineups in basketball and an emerging Reed. I wonder when Tillman will decide sticking to a dumb hiring decision isn’t worth the playoff revenue he’s going to lose.

 

Ime went away from Reed, let bad ball handlers lose this game

 

Shitty game for Alpi. He's gotta be way better than that.

 

So we're going to lose b2b games, cool.

Kinda negates all the winning we just did a bit...

 

they should have bench smith or sengun. both suck for today

 

Sengun , Jabari and Tari need to go. Please test the market while they have value Stone

 

Reed, Amen, Tari, DFS, Capela built the lead and dumb ass Sengun and Jabari threw it away.

 

Spell his name correctly. CJ

 

this mfkr udoka pulled a sizzlin hot sheppard homey dumber than a dog chasin its tail

 

Another absolutely pathetic loss and more questionable coaching decisions from Ime.

 

Who cares?. Plenty more home games.

 

Has KD always been this much of a TO machine in his career? I’ve never seen a rockets player this turnover prone. Harden had a MUCH higher usage rate and never turned the ball over as much as KD.

 

Reed got us back into the game and got us a lead.... then Ime made sure we lost the game.

 

Michael Pina did a long segment on the Zac Lowe show today talking about how predictable and boring the Rockets crunch time offense was and we saw all of those things happen exactly the way he described

Rockets just defer to Durant, everyone's knows it's coming, the other team keys on him (or Sengun iso)

Everyone else just stands around, no movement, plan a fails and it's scramble to get off a catch & shoot as time runs down - exactly what we just saw

 

Alp aint a top 20 player... not even a top 5 big. How you get beat by a player that hardly moves in embiid.

 

I take back what I said after the win against the Spurs. This team is going nowhere, not with this coaching and not without an actual offensive system

 

Reed and Capela could've carried us to victory ... Tonight only tho

 

Shame on Ime.

Absolute disaster class of a coaching job.

Shame on Alpy. Soft ass **** all game, missed free thows, missed bunnies, pump faking all gane like a p***y.

We HAVE to feature Reed more and lean into playing with pace when Alpy turtles up like this. What a waste of a great performance by KD, Amen and the bench.

 

Sengun is just a souped up Sabonis. Bad defensive centers that can't shoot and need the ball to operate as a hub because they can't function without off the ball. You will never win with players like that.

 

I am srsly livid. This coaching is ****ing trash. I am at loss for words
