ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 2/9/2019

You know those games that hurt. This is one of those. Don't know

Green can hit that. Adams did a great job deflecting it. The problem was Harden running down the clock believing he would win the game therefore there was no time to go back and forth. Harden has killed it this season so I am not mad at him for that. That 3rd quarter run was absolutely pathetic though

 

If it wasn’t for MDA, it wouldn’t even have come to that. Gotta love the apologists who always suck dick for MDA, harden, Cp, Tucker, etc. keep sucking dick

 

PJ has been terrible all season. Defense or not, when your PF scores 0 - its 4 vs 5 every time hes on the court. Tough to win in those situations

 

I think I'll give jimmy a passed on that brick 3 because his shoulder is bothering him, in other note thought its tough when your team mates couldn't produce a win without jimmy

 

1-5 tonite, he's been a horrible shooter his entire career and you've been a horrible poster since you got here.

 

trash

 

Bro he had a near tripple double but keep complaining.

 

Pelicans loss is up there too. But this one stings too.

This game should've been a win, but the guys couldn't pull it off. Shump needs to get more familiar with the system and Faried made a late-game defensive mistake that wouldn't have happened if Nene was switched back in.

Wasn't it also against the Thunder in the 14-15 season or something where the Rockets scored 70+ in the first half and 30ish in the second half and blew a game as well? Ugh

That said, CP3 really looked solid today. Shades of last year, at least.

 

Very simple: Poor 2nd half defense cost us a win. That's on the coaches, IMO. Gotta make these guys understand the effort has to be for 4 quarters.

 

So he can dribble out the clock and chuck up a step back 3?

 

We should seriously get a MDA prodigy setup and get rid of him after this season.

 

you know except for that 70 point first half they allowed.

 

Coaches can't adjust for energy. When one team has it and the other doesn't, its on the PLAYER LEADERSHIP to call that **** out and act accordingly.

 

he was off on this that Ball needed to go to Harden immediately, this has to be cleaned up

 

I noticed that. Once he took CP3 out, OKC tied and took the lead. What was going on? It was definitely weird.

 

I hate CP3...

The fact is CP3 has either been injured or garbage. It sucks to say this but we probably got one good year out of him and that’s before handing him a super max...

 

*sigh* Why is this our entire playbook?

1) Give ball to Harden.
2) Run far away from Harden.
3) Waste entire clock.
4) Harden does something that does or doesn't work.

Team is just walking around the court to their unpassable positions with seconds left in the game down by one. I know you guys are tired, but it's your final possession of the game, and you're losing. And Harden's draining the clock and going for a three when all you need is a two. Or even just one.

What even is this? My head hurts.

 

As long as you have MDA you will have a probability of choking.

Didn’t even try to run a play or a pick or get others in the action down the stretch.

Just iso harden at the top of the key, hold the ball for 23 seconds, chuck a step back.

Straight nba 2k cheese bullshyt.

 

This was a terrible loss. I'm really upset we weren't able to pickup a reasonable 3&D player this season. We've had a revolving door of G-League players and Tucker is getting way overplayed.

 

Im happy Green is on our team, but I dont want him being the one to take that shot or have it drawn up for him. Maybe it wasn't, but you got the MVP, CP3 and Ego who is known for making shots in clutch and we get it to a low IQ guy missing a finger and oops out of bounds

COME ON
