Houston Rockets 2025 Thread - Mercenary Season

Amen doesn't need to be a floor general if reed can keep maturing in the PG role.

And this thought of trading amen instead of sengun got me thinking some of y'all are his stabs from Turkey....

Sengun is the better player at this point. Him and Reed are developing a real chemistry

Second game this year KD has lost on FTs. No guarantee they get the win if he hits all 3 but need those in the clutch. Also gave up the putback. He owes Houston these next few games B2B or no

And Reed has to be the ball handler down the stretch of games and he needs to start

Reed def needs to start, not only does it opens up things for offense in general, but Amen is able to play his natural position without having to force things. Good rebound win after a really nasty loss. Sengun had a really good game and he needed that. He had such a stinky game last time and needed to shake shyt off. They really need to go on a strike cause you don’t want to risk falling into a bad first round matchup.

I’ll give the guys some grace for last night since it was a road back half of a B2B in Denver. Shot less than 30% from 3

But, it’s a dead sprint to the finish line now and the schedule has lightened up. Lot of home games. Time to lock in

Didn’t even need to watch the whole game, that was one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen, and unfortunately they’ve had a couple of those this year.

Ugly down the stretch but we’ll take the dikkerson game winner.

Need DFS or Okogie to start eating more into Tari’s minutes if the shot doesn’t turn around. They play with way higher IQ

Was there in person for tonight’s game and my goodness the offense is even uglier than it looks on TV. Gutsy and ugly win cause they easily could’ve packed it in at certain points and I think the crowd felt the same way. Amen, KD, Capela, and Reed were hooping. Tari and DFS for the bulk of the game were putrid. Coming out of the first half, DFS and Tari combined for ZERO points. That’s despicable. Tari started showing some flashes, but then he started acting stupid and then I didn’t see him again. DFS was legit an abomination until the last two possessions. He may have won them the game with that defensive stand. But….you can’t expect to win various playoff games and especially playoffs when you have two starters providing complete horse shyt on offense. More important games coming up. They badly need a winning streak.

They should legit drug test KD after what he just did. Check his bank accounts or something
