ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 2/21/2026

I agree Tari, nor Bari should ever bring the ball up the court. Im really complaining about lack of leadership at the point guard position. This team struggled last year when Fred was out. This year feels like that,times 2. It feels like every game they are running around with no purpose., because Fred's leadership is missing. Just want someone to be a vocal leader at the pg position. That would be great.

 

r****d organization

Has anything good happened since ferntits bought the team?

can’t even get excited about firing stone because no one wants to co-GM with his son (no legitimate GM)

and you know, that could’ve been udoka on the knicks sidelines. They wanted to interview/hire him and we gave him a 6 year extension (and seemingly co-GM power)…r****ds

all I can hope for at this point is my guy Reed gtfo here (lol actually kinda a decent chance with this coach, Fred coming back, no minutes available, probably trade him for another center, wing defender that can’t shoot)

 

Yep, Ime should never let Sengun stand at 3pt line. He is not Jokic.

 

Basketball terrorism at its finest by the Udoker

 

What, you don't like Finney-Smith in the high leverage closing unit, like he's the new Adams? You figure for SURE DFS brings a steadying presence - like he's shown all year..

 

Sengun always plays like that flopping and fishing for fouls…he has some Vlade Divac in him

 

Yep, this team is what it is, 2nd round at best.

Still will finish 3rd or 4th because the Lakers are worse than them, Minny is just as inconsistent, Denver has been banged up all year. I know others think we will drop to 6 or beyond but those other teams below us have the record they do for a reason. There really has not been much consistency in the west outside of the Spurs and OKC.

 

Should have known we were going to get outcoached by noted genius Mike Brown

 

I think it's what @DreamShook said.

Ime panicked, and his comfort food is 'veteran wing defender' and so in comes DFS.

When he thinks he needs to win a game he thinks more about stopping the other team from scoring more than keeping the scoreboard moving.

 

Cool story bro. Not sure you should bother watching then. See ya next season.

 

this is post of the day, of the month, of the year @sirjesse

 

What a joke that Ime doesn't want James Harden.

 

Cap was blocking shots too. Can't have that

 

We were better when DFS was injured.

 

So Jalen was our closer. What an ironic turn of events tonight. What we did on the floor was not basketball. Van Fleet is not the answer. We simply need to run a damn play… and then do it every time down the court. And that starts at the top.

 

im going to say it: Ime plays JO and Rockets win.

 

How sad.

Not rooting for injuries but injuries to take away the r****d coach’s favorites toys and actually do some coaching (fvv, adams, dori)

 

I agree on that.

But it's really the Rockets best defense is good offense ball-handling. Their worst defense is bad offense ball-handling.

10 turnovers in a quarter is literally giving the ball to the other team every other possession. Its telling the other team "Here is 12 free points JUST on extra possessions alone". Unsustainable non-function
