Idk Ime, felt like you could’ve put KD and Sengun back in when it was -12 or -10. But sure, keep them benched the whole 4th to, I guess, teach a lesson to the team.

It’s bad that I’m starting to have more faith in the Texans that started 0-3.

Niceguydan8

Eh for KD specifically checked out the beginning of the 4th and by the time it would have been reasonable to put him back in the game was getting out of reach.

That’s true, but never putting Sengun back in and turning to Tate when we had Tari healthy felt like him waving the white flag. Just get minutes for Reed and have the 3rd-string hustle culture guys play out the loss.

pmurt007 | Lakers

23 | 6 hours ago

With gambling being so prominent in today’s game it’s hard not to think something nefarious is going on when the coach benches one the best players (Sengun) with 3:45 remaining in the 3rd and their two best players (KD and Sengun) don’t even step on the court in the 4th. Like I would understand if it was on the second night of a back to back or they have a game the next day but that’s not the case lol

Jesus man. This is the one move Ime has made correctly. Sengun and KD are mentally weak and they’re supposed to be the stars. This is like Ime’s one legitimate tactic to get them to care.

It sounds like you lost money on this game and are mad. It’s 82 games, Ime can sacrifice one to send a message. And it’s not like the Rockets were guaranteed to win. They got down 20 with KD and Sengun on the floor. Why is it such a crime to keep them on the bench?

pmurt007 | Lakers

14 | 6 hours ago

I didn’t bet on the game.
They were never down 20 with KD and Sengun still playing, the largest lead was 12

I totally believe you didn’t have money on the game because you seem like a normal person who isn’t addicted to conspiracy theories. I simply trust you to be honest online.

Ok_Possible_5702

6 | 6 hours ago

I’m confused by your argument.

Your argument appears to be:

Sengun and KD are mentally weak
(therefore they don’t care)?
the only way that Ime can get them to care is by not playing them down the stretch?

What does being “mentally weak” whatever that means have to do with not caring?

And how would not playing them somehow get them to care about the win? If anything, I’d argue they would care less (“not my problem”)

Dame-in-EpstienFiles

He’s punishing them by embarrassing them by benching them. Tell me you’ve never sniffed playing competitive sports in your life without telling me.

Ok_Possible_5702

2 | 5 hours ago

I played competitive sports for like 8 years in my youth. I’ve never been benched without a good reason.

But one thing is competition, one thing is a job. If those players are simply considering the NBA “competitive sports” as their job, why would it bother them to get benched? It’s as if at work your boss gives a task to somebody else. They know they’re not gonna “get fired”, so why would they care? It’s Ime’s fault for not playing them if the team loses - they have nothing to lose.

Dame-in-EpstienFiles

You when you get benched: “ahhh yes time to relax, I don’t care about this sport anyway.”

It’s a meaningless regular season game.

Is it? Last year there were 2 wins between 3rd in the West and 8th in the West. Are you still gonna think this game was meaningless, if your seed positioning ends up being decided by a single game, and you end up with a worse opponent?

y’all could have traded for a competent point guard, but decided to run the Sheppard/Holiday/Thompson rotation at point instead.

Great for Reed’s growth, but not as good for the results.

SkepticCritic

4 | 4 hours ago

Ironically they could’ve signed Harden earlier this year for free since he was coming off a player option but they decided to keep FVV to a 2 year deal with a player option. I really really wanted Harden to mentor Reed and Sengun; I’ve seen what he has done for Capela, Embiid, Maxey, and Zubac and I would’ve wanted to see him mentor the Houston boys as well offense wise.

Ok_Possible_5702

2 | 4 hours ago

I mean, the FVV’s contract was the right choice, roster-building wise. It’s just bad luck that he torn his achilles (or ACL? i always get confused)

SkepticCritic

4 | 4 hours ago

Yeah I’m not blaming them for wanting to keep the current cohesion and chemistry; FVV was great for them in playoffs, but I really think Harden could’ve poured rocket fuel on the development of Sengun and Reed without sacrificing any future assets this past summer. I just really wanted to see Harden passing the torch and mentorship to the new younger guys as he passes on, but that’s just wishful thinking from a 2010s rockets era fan.

Ok_Possible_5702

1 | 4 hours ago

wouldn’t you have had to sacrifice someone anyway? FVV signed for 25m this year, and Harden makes 39m.

SkepticCritic

I know that’s their current salaries right now, but they could’ve negotiated with Harden to take a team friendly deal if Harden was open to coming back to Rockets. He was making 33 mil just this past year.

InTheMorning_Nightss | San Diego Clippers

1 | 6 hours ago

I feel like the Rockets are trying to “two timeline” this as well.

Every time I see people suggesting they make a move, I also see Rockets fans basically insist every young guy outside of Tari is effectively untouchable. You don’t get KD to not go for it all. They likely need to put one of Reed or Bari on the table to get a big enough upgrade at PG, and I get why they don’t want to, but I think they gotta do SOMETHING.

Still plenty of time to make a trade if they want to. Not like there was a ton of guys on the market right after he got hurt anyways

Dame-in-EpstienFiles

The Freddy injury is a convenient excuse.

A 30 year old munchkin who shoots 38% from the field wasn’t saving your team. He already got significantly minimized last year and would be primarily a spot up shooter this year who got attacked on defense.

The truth is y’all need to trade Amen ASAP. He will never be a star and every moment that passes lowers his trade value.

Lizpy6688 | Rockets

7 | 6 hours ago

Oh boy, Amen is being forced into a position he isn’t suited for so he’s suffering in both sides of the floor. He’s legit

That munchkin has a great turnover to assist ratio, he would’ve been able to run the offense very well. If you need a good reference point, go check last season when we had a stretch where he was injured. Our offense cratered. As soon as he was back, we were good again.

Dame-in-EpstienFiles

-1 | 5 hours ago

Amen will never fit on a team with championship aspirations. He’ll be Tony Allen in the Grizzlies-Warriors series of 2015.

MKlool123

5 | 5 hours ago

Horrible take.

Have you seen the rockets offense this year? Yes they are sorely lacking a pg to set things up.

Last season, sure you can tell FVV to slow down and not do too much and let the young guys play. They over performed last season. FVV played a role he wasn’t supposed to.

This season you have set expectations of what this team needs to do to win, FVV is not shooting shots he did last season. Amen, Sengun, are overplaying their roles with FVV out.

I wouldn’t trade DJJ for a bunch of 2nds, personally.

He’s young enough and continues to improve that you like to have a guy for him, and I don’t think 2nds are an overpay. You still want some folks bird rights, and I’d like to keep his. That and for as lost as this season is, he’s consistently fun and that’s important.

They’re without a doubt going to triple down, and my only hope is that it’s for people who are young enough to at least not be a total waste in the future.

Like I’d gladly take a buy low on Coby White, Keon Ellis, Sexton, DayRon Sharpe, etc. as opposed to a more typical move like getting CJ McCollum or something.

But in general, I assume they’ll continue to do dumb things because Frank sucks and is GMing horrendously.

Yeah well they are probably going after someone old like Demar or CJ. Meanwhile they could fire sale, retain some draft capital and actually sign couple good young players in free agency like Coby White for a start

Those guys have better spacing to shoot when Zu is off the floor. Kawhi has more room to drive when Zu is off the floor.

Kawhi was still having room get into his spots with Zu is on the floor.

Yeah the Clippers just proved they can survive he best offensive rebounding team in the league without Zu. Why not trade him? This team is different than last year’s where Zu fit well. Lopez isn’t even good anymore but he provided spacing and smart passes. Zu can only kinda do half of that.

It’s not crazy, zubac is overrated as fuck.

Hes slow and clumsy.

He gives up so many open 3’s and looks around like it isn’t his fault.

There’s multiple games this year where he gets outplayed by backup bigs, that’s not something that should happen to a “all star level” center.

Drummond, outplayed zu, let me remind you Drummond can somehow shoot threes to some extent, while zu continues to camp the paint and block lanes

His last year doesn’t mean shit, he has regressed massively this year and this is just the player he is.

Teams figured him out, double him and he will panic and throw a shit pass, he can’t score if you double him.

Put him in a pick and roll and watch the open 3’s go flying.

You’re making all these assumptions over one game. At least wait for next 10 games and see how it goes.

It’s not about the win today like I said, clippers could lose every game from today and I will still hold the same opinion, I’ve never rated zubac, he gets carried by James, it’s not a coincidence zubac has his career year next to James.

He’s almost 30, this is the player he is. Once he isn’t next to a all time pnr player he is going to regress even more.

While he has value, he should be traded

He’s been in the league for how fucking long now and not a inkling of a jumpshot has developed.

He is a center with a skillset that has passed.

I have been saying we should trade him because it is sunk cost at this rate for us but same goes for harden and kawhi if there is market for them

Some of what they are saying is pretty nutty IMO but Zu has pretty clearly regressed defensively and anybody watching the games (I know you do) should have no problem acknowledging that.

Jimmy0034 | Clippers

I feel he got better at switching to smaller players since he lost weight but rim protection is not the same way like last season and tbh it is probably because POA defense got way worse but in term of opponent points in paint, we are at 11th

facts, the clippers could lose the rest of their games this season but they would still be better off without Zu.

The Rockets are the new Nuggets. Talent is there. Experience is there. You just don’t know if you’re getting the ‘96 Bulls or ‘12 Bobcats

God I fucking hate the Clippers, they made so many garbage decisions that now that they’ve truly bottomed out I can’t even root for them to lose because that would mean the destruction of the NBA

The Los Angeles Clippers (8-21) defeat the Houston Rockets (17-10), 128-108 as the Clippers win 2 straight games in a row against playoff teams.
