ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/29/2013

Harden should know OKC well enough to come up with some weakness of theirs to exploit

 

I expect a win. Go rockets go!

 

Was hoping for a blow out because we 0lay the Thunder tonight. Good hard fought win nonetheless

 

I dont expect a win but who knows WB is out so maybe we can pull it out

 

Durant will FINALLY drop 40 on us.

 

I'm excited for this game.

Harden 20points
Howard 15
Lin 14
Parson 17
TJone 13

tough win but we pulled it off with Harden and Lin clutching in 4qrt. Let's see if Lin can shutdown another pg for the 4th game in a row.

 

Schedule loss, but we're going to win it. Book it.

 

don't breathe on durant.

 

We have D12. They have Perkins. We win.

 

Can't come out sluggish, have to be ready to play.

I predict a close hard fought victory for Red Nation Rockets

 

I know some people will think I'm joking when I say this, but after watching so many OKC games, I get a sense that we should just let KD take every shot. He makes them then tough, but it'll wear him down. Every winning game, the problem comes when another player comes up big. Since KD is going to get his whether you guard him or not properly. The focus should be guarding the other players well enough so that they don't get hot. While when KD gets his shot, the person guarding him should start a fast break without any second thought to wear KD out as he sprints back to D and take on the load for O.

 

lets not kid ourselves.

With the way we are playing right now, its gonna be a huge blow out tomorrow by OKC

 

Thunder are terrible defensively therefore Imo it won't be a blow out. Plus we all know our Rockets plays up n down to our competition.

Going to be a darn good game

 

Depends on which way the foul calls fall.

 

stare him down

 

We certainly are the better team with them not having Westbrook, but they will be ready and fired up to play us.

This will be a tough game.

 

come on ASIK! we need you to join the bandwagon

 

Even with Westbrook out I don't think we can pull this one out. It's in OKC and the team is probably exhausted

 

I'm really looking forward to this game.
A lot of great match-ups and these teams are developing a rivalry for years to come.

I'm actually interested in the Lin - Jackson match-up.
Lin has shut down and outplayed Parker, Conley & Holiday in the last three games but for some reason I think Jackson may have his measure.

I vividly remember how Jackson tore Beverley apart in last year's finals. I think Lin will have his hands full. The winner of this match-up may determine the game.

 

Durant drops 40, Harden counters it with 45. we win. the most important player will be Parsons though.
