ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 3/11/2026

Did we lose?

 

beat me to it

 

who knew that was imporrrtt....err oh wait.

Someone proved the importance of the 3pt shot 10+ years ago.

That person might have been the GM of the rockets????

But nevermind, we can listen to the importance of only defense and then hear the media members of the rockets regurgitate Ime's talking points

 

They clearly don't like playing for Ime. I won't go so far as to say they've quit on him, but they definitely look like they have zero confidence in this coaching staff.

 

My wife said the other day "maybe Cam was onto something"

And ive been thinking about it ever since.

 

I don't know what Cod's sauces are, but the folks I know are pretty clear about negative energy. The rockets don't really have an open hostility energy towards Ime (not surprising), but they convey it pretty clearly in a cold manner behind the scenes.

Tari is mercinary playing for a contract. Any other dumbass would have sent him to the bench already

 

Remember when the nuggets fired Malone before the playoffs? I’m beginning to be okay with Ime gone regardless of where we’re at in the season.

 

Fell asleep, woke up to a blown out team. Again.

When are people going to take a good look at the coaching? We're running around with no offense scheme.

Clap, clap, play harder 2.0.

 

Outcoached again, but this time by the guy I wanted as Rox coach.

DD

 

Exactly.

 

nuggets can afford to do that because they had an elite duo in Jokic and murray.

who's elite on rockets?

dickerson? OLD
sengun? laughable
amen? glorified ben simmons
jabari? kwame brown 2.0
reed? mind as well live at a casino because he's a gambler on defense

 

Sengun’s stock keeps getting lower and lower. Stone fuc*ed up. I thought they should have done this deal for Giannis a year ago and possibly kept JG and Brooks. I don’t think Bucks would want Sengun. Maybe he is dealt to another team separately or a third team and a deal is centered around Amen?

As I said before having 2 nonshooters limit this team. It’s not lack of effort. It’s just this team isn’t as talented as other teams

 

I think this is exaggerated and oversimplification but the issue is overall Rockets aren’t as talented. As I said no teams in the league play with 2 nonshooters as their main scorers. Teams load up strong side and leave weakside corner open because Amen in the corner can’t shoot. I don’t care if phil Jackson or pat riley comes in here. No coach can fix this. Also rockets can’t make open shots for whatever reason the other teams make theirs and we can’t. Reed Sheppard, Tari, Okogie. None of these guys can consistently make shots.

I expect a major shakeup unless Stone wants to see what this team can do with a pg. it hasn’t worked for 3 years.

 

I think it was said before the Spurs game even that the Nuggets and the Thunder are the best teams.

Then obviously you add the Spurs and the Celtics to the mix of great teams that played themselves into the discussion.

Knicks/Pistons are on the outside looking in.

 

I do not believe we can shoot that bad. I’m starting to think this team may be playing games, and I do not mean basketball.

 

Fair, fair.

 

Rockets: 4-33 from deep
Nuggets: 17-32 from deep

 

Shots at everyone. Well I'm glad people are getting off the KD wagon

 

Team is completely checked out. It’s the combination of KD and Udoka that did them in, and I’m not talking only about KD Files. We know Udoka likes to play favorites and they both like to deflect blame - imagine how taxing it must be to be in that locker room and getting chewed out repeatedly while KD gets no flack for any mistakes and boy does he make mistakes on both ends. Or KD yelling at you for his mistakes. Add to that the org sweeping the whole thing under the rug. Guys are feeling helpless and they are starting to see the pattern - this isn’t a serious org.
