ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 2/5/2026

I was just thinking that too!

15-16 Rockets right? McHale got fired. Pat Bev (or was it Jason Terry) famously said “not the same team”.

 

Literally a cone on defense, we need a rim protector to protect him and reed.

 

I remembered Sengun said he would play great games this month? Lol

 

I feel like BIG Stevo was the glue of this team and when he went down so did the season

 

Props to Jabari for playing hard and trying to keep us afloat on both ends

 

Guess the players have adopted the same attitude of the GM and coach. Maybe it’s just not our year

 

I would too, I've never seen a coach so consistently pull out hot players as he does. It's honestly puzzling, if a guy starts going or starts to play well, out they go. I'm just confused at the strategy.

 

I’m surprised the Hornets don’t have a bigger lead.

 

we had a Alpha and lead dog who just needed vet help and someone like KD - but geeks cried about efficiency when our C has worse efficiency on easier shots but they think he’s Baby Jokic … and Amen can’t shoot outside 10ft …

Hornets showed patience with LaMelo and look how it’s starting to pay off and take form

 

.. not saying it will help, but why Ime religiously played Adam & Sengun together bit not Clint & Sengun?

 

How’s that max contract coming along for Amen?

 

Reed is third in plus/minus...Meaning theyve been doing better when he's on the floor.

Okogie is -22
****y-Smith is -13
Kd has 5 TO's leading to fast break points
Sengun is 1-6, only has 5 rebounds and cant defend at the rim to save his life.

But yeah, sure. The 2nd year barely played nba ball guy is the one murdering us.

 

This is way worse tbh

 

he needs a rim protector, but then that guy also needs to be able to shoot

the dilemma of trying to build around Sengun

 

His play has drastically gone worse since he became an all star last year. I thought it was strange how outspoken he was about being an all star and how badly he wants it cause guys usually try to downplay it and pretend they don't care. Now, I think that was his biggest motivation and he has nothing to play for now.

 

It sure appears so. The quote was published on Twitter by Michael Shapiro, who covers the Rockets for the Houston Chronicle. If Shapiro is making it up, the Rockets should revoke his media access.

 

wouldn’t be surprised if the Mavs are better than us in 2 years

 

i rather DFS sit out the entire year than whatever he's doing out there

 

Yea I don’t get it, Reed has really disappointed me but he’s like the 2nd best player on the floor tonight

people need to chill

 

KD our best and worst player. Alpi soft AF. Reed p***y. Amen needs to take charge. Ime had not a clue. Ron Nipple™ is better than our entire team, lol
