ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 1/9/2020

I am not surprised he's shooting badly today. I did make the case that Harden may have lost his confidence after the game yesterday. From the 2nd quarter against the Hawks, he went on a 3/25 run of shooting.

He'll get his shooting back, but I'm not sure he'll get back to efficient shooting he was getting from that 15 to 20 game run.

 

The ironic part it is, I tried for a hour to get a stream to work here only to hear this! FML. At least Donatello is playing well.

 

You need more than 2-4 shots to get a rhythm. Harden gotta pass the ball more. What is wrong with some of the posters in this board?

 

i dont think harden ever loses confidence. hes gonna have bad games just like anyone else. hes set such a impossible bar for himself that people take it for granted. hes allowed to be human guys. a lot of people here need to relax

 

He bet donuts lol

 

I get pissed when he passes to open BMAC who hesitates until defense shows up
then passes to an open PJ who hesitates and tries to drive to throw it back to HArden

WTF???

Rocket River

 

Yo PJ really does play too many minutes .

Clint too .

Cmon man . Practically a 7 man rotation last night , tonight the same . Let’s see if Clemons gets another shot in the second half or if he gets the IHart treatment .

 

Everybody else hit half their shots. Harden was 2 of 12.

 

First the haters complain that we blow big leads,
Now they’re crying cause we were down big.
Cant make them happy........

 

Kenny still a Rocket at heart.

 

SHUT UP & LISTEN!

*Beard takeover imminent

 

I'd double like this if I could.

 

We definitely lower our "impossible standards" for the playoffs.with Harden. If he can shoot above 35% from three in the playoffs that's a win.

 

I have no idea why Hartenstein isnt playing...its actually ridiculous. Mike has such a short leash man.

 

Fraud? Calm down down down with that crap....
He wants it too bad for Russ so he is forcing the issue.
It happens....
What he needs to do is let the game come to him...
No need to force up shot after shot.
Just move the ball and take what the D gives you...

Also everybody knows that James can get cooking in the second half so chill....
You're watching a guy who is wired to get buckets because he knows his team depends on him....(been that way for years now)
Sometimes that backfires on players and they begin to put too much pressure on themselves and start to force.
Harden will figure it out...

 

Man please. Harden can be called out like anyone else. Smh. It’s not a bout having bad games. It’s about making dumb decisions. Smh

 

THIS is happening A LOT lately (especially when House is in there) !!

 

Don’t forget that Westbrook sucks and is inefficient. CP3 is a God now that we let him go. Gary Clark would have 30 right now. EG is always broken. Capela is a p***y.

I’m sure I’m missing a few...haha

 

Of course he deserves it tonight. It's just annoying seeing the same guys making threads about trading Harden because he has 1 or 2 bad games. To be fair, he didn't even play badly yesterday... just he went on a terrible run of shooting from the 2nd quarter. Still had a 10 assists, 10 rebounds, a couple of steals and blocks.

I however am not surprised he's shooting badly again tonight. His confidence may have taken a knock after that horrible 3/25 shooting run he had yesterday.

 

I’m glad they’re only down by 12.

They were playing like offering up Andy Dufresne booty at Shawshank.
