Houston Rockets 2025 Thread - Mercenary Season

[Playaz Eyez]

Bless KD’s heart. He had a sequence where he scored every single time he went down the court, but the Suns were never truly a threat to the Rockets, and that was with all three of their Big 3 playing. Suns really did him a disservice by not trading him at the deadline. As far as the Rockets, they pretty much had their way with them all night. Thought it was funny Plumlee landed on top of Adams during that scuffle, but he’s the one that got up bleeding lmao.

Bari been surprisingly effective playing at the 3 inthe double big lineup

Currently holding a tie for the 3 seed after fire bombing Dallas. I know a bunch of people on social media are complaining about the idea of a Houston/Warriors series, but I don’t even care. I’m down with anybody, I just want to see how these guys look in the playoffs finally.

This 6 game winning streak was so badly needed after that skid we had. We’re currently 2nd matching up with the Wolves, but there’s like 3-4 teams with 25 losses, so I don’t think we’ll know how official match until the end of the season.

There’s so many guys contributing currently, but I think Tate and Jeff Green getting time over Cam really says something. I think his attitude is still hampering him and we know Udoka doesn’t play that.

Pretty speechless at this game. I swear it’s like Udoka threatened to smash everyone’s girlfriends if they didn’t dig themselves out that hole, cause they dug deep like crazy to put the Sixers away. What a smart play for Jabari to intentionally miss that FT to allow Sengun to get that putback. The three point shooting elevates like crazy and came right on time. They don’t win without that plus the defense they played at strategic times.

Bro I gave up on this game about 3 different times in the 4th quarter. I'm lucky I kept it up on a second screen just in case

Clapping Banchero and the Magic was nice, was just weird how we basically ran one of those MDA lineups where you don’t really play pass seven players. Adams being a +22 in 23 minutes was insane. His inclusion to this team has been a gem. Great to see him healthy like this. Would prefer FVV to not shoot than many times, especially missing that many, but it comes with the territory at this point. Jabari still doing his thing off the bench, and we’ll see how stuff goes with Tari once Amen gets back. Sengun and Jalen leading as usually and they need to keep thy up.

Stephen Adams offensively is just offensive when he’s trying to score. I k wk that’s not his role but Tari dropped at least 3 dines to that guy at the paint and he sold all of them. Dude really has no touch around the rim. Amen should wait til after the Heat game to come back. Don’t need him for that squad.

It’s still weird to me how we win all these games with truly no single efficient scorer on our team. It goes against what I know, but hell I’ll take it. But it also makes me wonder how far we can actually go in the post season.

Yea they pretty much play that 90s style basketball that people clamor for today. They’re a very tough defensive team that does a lot of midrange and dunking

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Feel like the Rockets didn’t really take the Hawks serious due to giving up 15-2 and 11-3 runs during the game and still managing to win. 100% can’t do that in the playoffs and expect to win games. Gotta be much more consistent than that, but I’m still looking forward to how they look in the playoffs for the first time for a lot of these guys. Also, I get that Udoka is shortening up lineups to get playoff ready, but I still think some of those backend guys need to get more playing time. I’m not trying to re-live MDA with his 6.5-7.5 man lineups that kills off the starters.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Rockets playing with their food again vs the Jazz. They may stink but they’re still a tough team to play on the road. They need to get the momentum back soon.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Ain’t focused on that bozo charade from the Lakers game the other night with DFS and Gabe Vincent nearly tripling their season averages, lets focus on that we used to pray for times like this
