ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/27/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Did the league, players, coaches, etc. comment on Perkins' deliberate elbow to Harden's gut under the hoop late in GM2?

Dirty, dirty play that was overshadowed by the dirtiest of dirty plays on Parsons.

 

WOW!!! Westbrook out! Breaking news, heard it on the radio. So happy for the Rockets first, but feel so sorry and sad for Westbrook and OKC's chance this year. CP3, J Lin, D Rose, Rondo... Whats with all these great PG with knee surgery???

 

I expect the Rockets to win the home games even if Westbrook were still playing. Everyone knows how important the 3-point shot is for us. Playing at home should be the key in increasing that %.

Rockets 3pt% on the road: 36.1%
Rockets 3pt% at home: 37.1%

Not a huge difference, but I think the familiarity of Toyota Center should help the team.

 

Don't even talk about winning the series. Just win game 3.

THEN THE PRESSURE IS ON OKC

We should get 3-4 extra points from technicals and cheap shots.

 

Wonder if we'll use the same lineup since WB is out. I think we should but who the heck knows with McHale.

 

in seven career starts vs. Parsons, Kevin Durant is 59/140 (42%) and has never shot over 50%

should be an awesome battle in game 3 with KD forced to carry the load

Parsons will be spending lots of energy on defense and we can't expect him to score alot

 

Definitely same starters. The coaches don't trust Jeremy to handle the ball for 30 plus minutes, rightfully so. We need Bev to run the show again.

 

You forgot Rubio

 

Bev didn't "run the show" last game. Harden did.

 

It's sold out!!

 

Game 3 has flagrant foul written all over it. Which one though, flagrant 1 or 2?

 

Doubt OKC beats us 3 in a row, esp. w/the Westbrook injury.
One game at a time.

 

Man it will SUCK if we lose tomorrow.

I expect it to be extra chippy with the Westbrook injury and all

 

Honestly we might lose...

 

Is that you Michael?

 

stop thinking of anything else. we need to win this. don't care how and how badly.


Harden, do your thing. you're are staring now. stage is yours.
Parsons, hit that b**** hard.
