ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/19/2017 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

Possibly. But if we can have Ryan Anderson actually show up for one of the games in OKC, the Rockets should be able to close this out in 5.

 

who?

 

during his post-game presser the only thing Harden left out about Ryno is him making $18.74 million

 

Paying a player $80Mil to be a 3 pt specialist should be enough to make him feel responsible to make shots

 

Harden trusts his teammates unconditionally. It's why we're good. Ryno will be fine. I bet he breaks out here in the next game.

 

It's on the road, so odds are you're right.

 

I'm not worried about Anderson. He had the highest 3pt percentage going into the playoffs for a reason. Yes, he hasn't hit his shot yet, but we have won, so that's all that matters. Let him save the best for last. You and I both know he is capable of hitting 5 or 6 shots from behind the arc, so if we make it to San Antonio, let's hope that's when he comes on strong offensively. We will need everyone to play the games of their lives against that team. Ariza and Anderson have the capabilities to turn it up a notch, and I don't doubt they will. Let's do this Rockets!!!!!

 

I'm worried that we had to depend on Westbrook going chuck mode and losing the game for his team. If Russ had played winning basketball in the 4th the Thunder probably hold on to win. I didn't see us playing well that game especially rebounding and defensively. We need to play well again.

 

He will show up. For whatever reason Ryan Anderson sucks at Toyota. He shoots 33% at home and 46.5% on the road. Combine that with him shooting 25% on 2 days rest versus 42% on one days rest and he is lining up for a good game.

 

hahahahahahah stay woke

 

haha im not worried about Ryno. his average will play itself out. I was replied who to someone else

 

it's a good thing he plays like that all the time. nothing new. i was gladly yelling for the rockets to let him have all those shots. the law of averages will balance itself out especially for someone who can't shoot 3's well

 

People keep saying this nonsense along with "They lost the lead when Westbrook sat on the bench!" along with "Rockets got the lead when Harden was on the bnech!"

They fail to realize that Westbrook came in the game, his team had the lead. He blew it. If he was so much the MVP then why couldn't they close out that game?

 

Each individual member took like, 4 shots. A great percentage is good and all, but it's not like the volume for the rest of the team was extraordinarily high.

 

Yep, seems like he's one of the few guys which really like or at least respect Harden talent

 

well the Rockets had a really bad 1st quarter, and they actually won the last 3 quarters. I know we didn't get the lead until 4th quarter but it was a game of mini runs, and we finally got over the hump in that 4th. If it wasn't for that 1st, we'd be talking about another DD win. Just a different look to what happened.

 

Ryan Anderson def has to score 13-16 next game. We had a 8 man rotation. vs 12 man rotation. Grant and McDermott will see more playing time.

Rockets need to find some minutes for Williams / Harrell next game to switch it up.

 

"McDuggits"

 

Westbrook has help, but he won't let them help him.....he is the most selfish player I have ever seen, would HATE playing with him.

DD

 

Both teams are running as ONE. Depends on how you look at it.
