ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/15/2025

I don't have confidence we can beat elite teams.

We are no longer that team of last season which can beat any elite team.

 

Turnovers are a big concern.

I hate these late starts, I am sleepy af already. Yeah, I’m old.

 

5th page!

It's not about how many people died, it's about the friends they made along the way.

 

Ime will always Ime.

 

at least he isn't starting the double big, It's a step in the right direction. Reed was closing in the last game. I honestly believe Ime wants Reed to be in our best lineups, but I think he is making him show that he can hang out there defensively.

 

This broadcasting the game on peacock bullshit pisses me off so much.

 

you don't spend enough for TV and internet already, you need to pay more.

 

How do they set tip for 8:30 and there is still 5 minutes left in the other game?

 

It sounds like that altitude is getting to Craig and Ryan. Can’t be easy to call a game there. Also go Rockets

 

Probably, but jerking him around in the lineup and giving him a short leash has never worked out. That works for some kinds of players, but it makes others just go super conservative and back into their shell.

More than that though, I don't like having 3 non-shooters on the court together, I feel like it screws up the entire offense due to a lack of spacing.

When Okogie was on fire from 3, it was no problem, but he's shot only 30% from 3 in his past 10 games...going back to the guy he's been his whole career. That simply won't cut it.

 

Rockets win by 6 - 8.

 

The NBA is the only league that is literally never on time for anything. If they set an 8:30 tip, it'll probably actually happen at 8:45 at the earliest.

They essentially operate on Italian time.

 

Those blue warm ups are clean

 

I totally agree. Sometimes even Alpi is a non shooter. Having Okogie and Amen out there, especially when Amen isn't having a good game, its tough. It's gonna happen, Reed just needs to keep improving.
