Houston Rockets 2025 Thread - Mercenary Season

[Playaz Eyez]

Can’t say too much about this game, when you’re two best players drop stinkers, this is exactly what happens. The only thing is they lost by three, moral victories, don’t count, but it’s something. Shout out to Reed Shepherd, though, he practically willed the team back in early on. Props to Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr as well, Jabari Smith in particular was looking like a power forward Ray Allen.

The adjustment I see is that double big plus Amen is going to be most effective with Sheppard in and KD out. I don’t think they can start unless the size advantage is massive.

IMO when/if DFS and Tari are back in the mix they should try to run “smaller” for some spurts just to get KD some space.

55 win team and first round victory

Can they chip? Iono if they have the bench for that
