ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Magic 2/26/2026

At this point even reading DFS’s name irritates me. I know it’s not fair to him but he really needs to start being at least somewhat effective somewhat soon, lest he end up as everyone’s consensus least favorite Rocket of the past few seasons

 

Ime has his issues to be sure. Playing Amen over Reed is idiotic.

But who hired Ime and created this crappy roster?


Stone has been in charge for almost 8 years and our best player is a 37 year old with a bad Achilles and burner accounts.

Why do you feel Stone should get a pass?

 

I think Reed might have finally forced Ime's hand here

I don't know if he'll start but I think he's at least locked down more consistent minutes and more opportunities to close games. Can't ignore it when a guy is this impactful, even if you're a stubborn old a-hole like Ime

 

To be clear, they're both absolute ass. I don't even ****ing like Daryl any more but **** me, I'd KILL to have a Morey/D'Antoni team up compared to this laywer and his r****ded mate who doesn't understand basic basketball offensive sets.

 

Amen only 28 minutes tonight when he’s basically the league leader in mpg

 

Whats wrong with having KD as your best player? Dude just put up 36/8/3/2 so whats your problem?

Crappy roster is 3rd in the West?

You have no clue at all and devoid from reality.

Stone gets a pass cuz he built this team from ground up and had them as the 2nd seed in just 4 yrs.

He became GM in Oct 2020 but you are so delusional you just add 2 yrs for no reason. Almost 8? LMAO.

Why is the **** you say not even true? A crappy roster but 3rd in the West? Saying a top 10 best player in history sucks? Got hired in October 2020 is now almost 8 years?

You got everything WRONG

 

So...

How did we win?

Lol I turned it back on in the 4th and still don't understand.

 

If Amen and Sengun were still on court，that would not happen.

 

He's hurt and needs to rest until his leg heals completely. Stupid decision to play him at all tonight.

 

They want to get rid of Mosley. Doesn’t help him and Paolo don’t see eye to eye

 

Hey, that was another 3 turnover half. I know I'm late . . .

 

Senhub needs to be embraced with shooters around him so he can operate where he belongs, in the paint.

 

i still dont want Reed to start. I just want Amen to not have the ball in the starting lineup.. dude should be in the dunker's spot if they are going to play off him so disrespectfully.

Ime needs to treat Reed like a focal point when he comes off the bench.. JO needs to be in the rotation. Some of yall were slandering him, but i saw his winning plays even when he was bricking jumpers.

 

Shook, all that hate in your heart is why you got acne and an Okogie hairline

 

I’m not an Ime fan but it’s a hell of a lot easier to win with a limited coach than it is to win with a limited GM.

 

I like Reed a lot. I love seeing him be aggressive with his shooting and even more so when his shots fall.

But seeing posters say he needs to be treated like a Superstar is weird behavior to me. He does some shaky things on the floor that make me think that he is on the floor scared some of the time. His confidence is shaky and his teammates have to stroke his ego too damn much for him to be a superstar. Superstars push themselves and walk on the court knowing they are one of the best players on the court.

But I will take him knocking down his open shots any day of the week.

 

For everyone saying respect to Ime:

**** that.

It took that idiot forever to make a decision that has been blatantly obvious for months!

 

He is being played out of position

 

my skin is soft and my hairline crisp. more slander. not true. false. smh.


smh = "shaking my hairline" because its so thick.
