ClutchFans Game Thread: Bulls @ Rockets 1/13/2026

Hopefully Dort needs another day or two. Hate that dude, he's the next Draymond in terms of dirty plays and getting away with all kinds of BS

 

It's cool how AD plays when Mavs play the Rockets but he DNPs against Denver. Cool beans

 

You realize he did not slap or smack any of his teammates yet.

Also Draymond was an All Star and Dort might not be there in 2 years.

He is regularly only playing 20 minutes and they are not closing games with him no more, other players emerging.

 

The Kings have now won three straight all by double digits against the Rockets, Lakers, and Knicks.

We still should've gotten that game on Sunday, but at least it's no longer looking like a fluke by Sacramento.

 

I'm sure their fans feel like they just won the Championship.

 

The Pelicans suck (gave them their 6th win, 10-33 on season)
The Kings suck (6-22/8-30, gave them their 7th & 9th win, were riding 5 game & 7 game losing streaks before beating Houston, 11-30 on season)
The Jazz suck (6-12, gave them their 7th win, 14-26 on season)
The Mavs suck (8-16/12-23, gave them their 9th & 13th win, were riding 4-game losing season before Jan.3 game, 15-26 on season)
The Blazers suck (17-20, gave them their 18th & 19th win, 19-22 on season, haven’t won since beating Houston)

The one I will give you…the Clippers. Not a bad spanking. Here come those Clippers.

1-4 in OT/2OT games

 

OKC:
Lu Dort - Questionable
Isaiah Hartenstein - Out
Nikola Topic - Out
Thomas Sorber - Out

HOU:
Tari Eason - Out
Dorian Finney-Smith - Out
Fred VanVleet - Out

 

Reed has made a lot of noise. Still, even with JD having a good game, Reed would have to be dealt for a win- now move. With KD, we have a 2 year window.

KD/Amen/Jabari and Reed are close on and off the court...but more importantly, Reed is developing well with KD and Amen's support. I would be shocked if Stone gives up Cocaine Curry, knowing that he will be more effective if he doesn't have to be the primary ball handler.

Get Rafer in here and just let Reed shoot and play some of the underrated defense and rebounding that goes unnoticed.

Also, I wish Freddie could just get back on the court. Our team would be unstoppable....but it sounds like we'll have him just before the post season . Rich seems to have confidence that he is well ahead of schedule.

 

I don’t get all these takes to be brutally honest. Reed will be more effective if he’s not the primary ball handler?! Are we even watching the same thing? He’s the best ball handler on the team arguably. Please make it make sense.
