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

people hate stone for grabbing DFS but dont talk about how Clint was an amazing signing

 

LOLLL damn it

 

His average is being great

 

That would be the right move, but if Bari is hurt Tari can keep on starting. Hopefully he gets out of this funk he's been in lately.

 

If the Rockets’ front office wants to win a championship, either Sengun or Thompson have to develop a three-point shot, or the front office needs to have the balls to trade one of them for a better fit.

Quite frankly, they either develop one this offseason, or it’s time to think about potential trades that make the Rockets better. Next year is year six for Sengun and year four for Thompson.

 

Yes, Silas was disrespected all the time by players. KPJ skipped practices and was a complete ******* half the time he showed up. Wood wouldn’t even go in the game for Silas. Jalen blew off Silas.

You can lose games without having KPJ, Wood and others around young players. The coaching staff was a joke. Weaver and Hornacek left because it was so unprofessional and players didn’t develop.

 

It hurt player development at a minimum.

 

I rmeber during the 2022 draft we all thought we were getting Banchero. Some thought we got the worse of the top 3 selected but in hindsight I’m aight with getting Jabari instead of Banchero. Honestly I’ve rather have Jabari at his price than Chet with that max price tag because Chet has been underwhelming without SGA.

 

That is an interesting question - would Stone/Udoka trade Jabari and salary filler for Banchero? Banchero has a max deal, huge deal….

I think ultimately Stone would push to do it because of Banchero’s post season success and perceived franchise player ceiling - but his defense and shot selection concerns are real.

 

No to Banchero. Sengun is already a better player than him and together they are redundant.

 

@sirjesse

 

Ime isn’t perfect but there aren’t many coaches in the market that are better than him.

 

Wasn’t Steven Adams game to game also lol

 

BAN! Don't even joke about that!!

 

If he does his fifteen years without incident and comes out understanding the Udoker is a basketball genius then serving time in Siberia with his wallet sized photo of sturdy was well worth it for both himself and all of clutchfans fandom

 

Most definitely. Tari is the person that can be called on to start but not get into feelings if he doesn't. I understand why he does though. He wants the best resume for free agency. Even if its restricted. I can't blame that. Hope Bari isnt out for long.

 

Post of the night. Ime’s worst enemy is Ime, but he thinks it’s Reed. I can see Ime low key being pissed off when Reed plays well, and I can totally see Ime winning the inaugural “Coach most likely to fight his own player” award. He already won the “Coach most likely to be fired for sleeping with a staffer” award.

 

Nah, maybe you have a different definition of mediocre. This team is missing some key players, and still would probably only be the underdog to three teams in the entire league in a 7 game series. OKC, Denver and San Antonio.

It’s a frustrating team for sure. But definitely not “mediocre” compared to the majority of the league.
