Houston Rockets 2025 Thread - Mercenary Season

[In The Zone '98]

Good reps for post season. But y'all gotta close these teams out

Eason in the mix takes some of the perimeter defensive load off of Thompson, plus he can shoot and do at least a little something off the dribble.

It’s the lakers so they could get away with the “do his ass” offense but I like this starting lineup.

A nice wire to wire beating on this Cavs team that really should bench better than they are currently. Rockets were up 31 points at a certain time. KD didn’t even have to play the whole fourth quarter Reed continues to be productive. The Cocaine Curry make has some validity. DFS’ impact is already bring felt even without scoring yet. These home victories are much needed after that shaky road stint.

Hopefully Sengun not hurt too bad and Adams can get back this week. Just an off game from Jabari and Reed cost them this one

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Jabari having a normal game would’ve had them winning. 2-13 is disgusting without Sengun and Adams

 

[Stone]

KD walking off on the GW was nuts. Good win to keep heads above water. Gotta hopefully take these next couple and hope Sengun can come back sooner rather than later. The non KD minutes have been rough without him.

Portland size can be trouble

There was nobody else other than KD getting the ball in that spot lol. He was going for the Suns’ necks

 

[Playaz Eyez]

That was a very interesting game last night. Full of shenanigans and such. Another good bounce back game from Jabari after that nonsense from the other night going 2-13. KD shot like shyt % wise but he was going for the kill on the Suns. This guy Brooks…I really wish there was a way to get KD without trading him, like it Tate have had a bigger contract or something lmao.

This is the third straight up stinker from Jabari. 0-10 from deep at his height is unbelievable. You almost have to be that bad on purpose. Dude was 6-21 overall. Idk how he was able to even shoot that much. I know Tari couldn’t come back after spraining his ankle, but that’s no reason for Jabari to get 41 minutes.

He has a nice form. But he aint no deadeye

Coaches gotta get that boy in the post. Relax with the spacing, Adams will grab the board regardless

 

[Stone]

Udoka cost them this one by not pulling Jabari.

And if they want to get out of round 1 they’re gonna need some type of guard with creation ability. Not just Reed

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This sums it up right here perfectly, but it was also on him for not sitting Jabari. 41 minutes and that many misses is gross

 

[kornholio]

I might take a month off from watching after this one.

Need Cam Thomas honestly

 

[Stone]

They’re having literally the worst 3 point shooting stretch over any 5 game span in NBA history.

Time will tell if they can stabilize this or was the early season 3pt efficiency outside of KD/Reed was fools gold. Answer prob somewhere in between
