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

harden is a leader he showed that tonight.

 

Bringing on the heat in H-Town!!!! Two and 0 baby!!!!!!! What an exciting comeback. We just welcomed those boys to Clutch City the right way! Next stop, OKC. Loving my Rockets!!!!

 

We better figure out that defense the Thunder just threw at us. We had no clue how to deal with it. Not in the first half, and not in the second. Harden looked puzzled on drives almost the whole game. Nene had no idea when and where the ball was coming to him. Our 3-point shooters were spooked. Capela couldn't get lobs and looked like a rookie. It's a chess match, our move next. D'Antoni needs to take a hard look at the game video.

 

Westbrick took that many shots DURING the game.

 

I like gritty wins.

 

Maybe he's a big Frozen fan.

 

He said, orgasmically, "oh my god" after James hit that 3. Reggie couldn't handle it, that shot got him nutted.

 

The Rockets must have read our comments about how boring game 1 was so they decided to make this one interesting.

 

This was better than a blow out. A blow out they could just shrug off. We took a 50 point triple double from Westbrook and won the game through teamwork. That's going to burn in their minds. What are they going to do now, hope he hits more shots? Westbrook's taken his own teammates out of this series.

 

not sure if posted already...

 

"Big deal... that's almost as many as I took during the game ..."

 

So if you took an honest poll, how many people actually believe Westbrook didn't care about his line?

Because he did. A lot. He's probably framing the ESPN clippings right now.

 

Now that's what I call a CLUTCH CITY PERFORMANCE. WOW what a come back win for the good guys. Completely took over the 4th after closing out the 3rd strong.

Those two headed 6th Men of the Year came through tonight. Williams started off sizzling hot and Gordon finished scorching hot. Mix in some Williams clutch shots in the 4th of course.

Now do these jokers see what we see Clutch fam. I mean did they not see why Harden is the freaking MVP. Westbrook out there shooting his team completely out of the game in the 4th (4-17) (something like that). While Harden was elevating his teammates and closing that game out strong like a Superstar should.

Great win peeps

 

I'd like to apologize to @topfive for kvetching and whining for 3.5 quarters. You rightfully told me to shut up when necessary. Great win, despite the ulcer it gave me.

 

When you see Westbrook got double digit assists into the 4th, you know he's good and won't pass to his teammates anymore ;-)

 

Makes you wonder... The crowd was super empty with 5-7 minutes left until tip including the upper bowl. Maybe lack of intensity from crowd made Houston start off weak and slow while OKC player's took advantage of that. We did outscore OKC in the last 3 quarters and it was in the 1st quarter where OKC did most of their damage. Still, OKC played rather well quarters 1 to 3.

 

Howard is on the decline. He startedthe season off playing good basketball but towards the end and right now, he's played terribly.

 

Getting off work late and the traffic is crazy in Houston. But once they got there, the crowd was electric.

 

And we still came out with the victory. Wow what a game.

 

I was very right.

F all these other bandwagon fans.
