ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 10/28/2019

For the sake of the offense, I hope James starts to hit his 3s somewhat consistently. It's clear that he's determined to shoot himself out of the slump and it's abundantly clear that Mike isn't going to stop him. So.....here we are. I think once some start to go down he'll move the ball more. It's sad that we are at this point but that's what happens when your coach is a joke.

 

LOL 90% no way they were. And you are the same guy who said Harden was faking hit when he got hit in the eye. Whatever man, how about you just not talk about Harden at all, but you cant. Its just annoying at this point dude, like ....none of your points look substantial cause your default mode is to blame Harden.

 

He took those type of shots last season..... but they were dropping. Give him time to find his range and it'll go in. I mean, he can't shoot much worse than he is.

I fully expect Harden to get much better as the season goes on.

 

Yeah they only focus on the negative posts. It’s silly. Love James. He is a hall of fame player, one of the best of his generation. But he has serious mental flaws. Easily fixable too that is the worst part.

 

PJ should have got Eric's extension.

 

It should. The important thing is that the offense is generating wide open looks from three for the Rockets’ role players.

 

if you change your avatar to this, then they will believe you

 

People going off posting celebratory threads. Y'all know we just barely squeaked out a win against a fairly terrible team whose best player is on AARP right?

 

He will shoot himself out of it, and we are going to hate every minute of that process. it's not like he hasn't slumped before. Better slump now than later I guess

 

Harden taking 22 free throws is kinda embarrassing

Now that Westbrook has my heart my blind support of harden is fading and I understand why people hate lol

 

Maybe.

 

LOL whats his mental flaws?

he has lol bball iq? he's like a selfish cancer?

I mean guy just dropped 40 for a win with people hacking him left and right why u complaining this game?

 

True, I'd rather it now than in April.

 

thunder defense was embarassing

 

yeah but if iHart had played we'd have won by 50. c'mon guy, that's what you're supposed to be saying. you have Hartenstein Only Responsibilities now

 

Harden was markedly better tonight than either of the first two games. He actually had a couple of nice cuts off the ball that led to buckets, and he got himself going by attacking the basket instead of forcing 20 step-back threes.

 

I freaking LOVE Harden. I have nothing but love and respect for him for coming to Houston and completely embracing this city and franchise. And since the day he came in, he has been nothing short of amazing.

With that being said, these days, every time he shoots a step back 3 in crunch time I want to throw up

 

Harden isn't putting himself on the line lol. Blame the refs.

 

I do like that he at least made an effort to work off-ball in this game. Hopefully, that will continue.

 

I don't know why they won't unleash the beast. If they'd have played Hartenstein in the playoffs last year we'd have beaten the Warriors. I am actually stealing that take from someone else; but I guess that's how I feel now.
