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

Absolutely...keep his lumbering arse on the bench. The guy gets rebounds but VERY FEW contested rebounds. I've watched him in this game get out rebounded a handful of times by a smaller guy who WANTS it more. And offense...FORGET it.

 

what happened to our shooting? looks like okc are playing with a bunch of hs kids

 

Yeah. I predicted that he would not play based on his body language in the interview video earlier in the day but I guess he really wanted to play. But he only proved to be a negative on the court than a positive.

 

If he comes out and tries to play man-to-man on KD I will throw my TV out of the window.

HE IS THEIR ONLY OFFENSIVE THREAT ON THE FLOOR! Double and triple-team him and make the other guys beat you. I simply don't get McHale's defensive game plan. He knows Westbrook is out right? Like, he had knee surgery and not coming back, right?

WTF are we doing guarding KD one-on-one. We don't have a 27-year-old Ron Artest, Scottie Pippen or Bruce Bowen on our roster. Force him to get rid of the ball and make the other guys beat us.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills!

 

The truth is the rockets are mentally weak because of their lack of experience.

 

McHale doesn't double much for whatever reason....

 

Here we go Rockets fans lets get into the game ,text everyone's u know ,call ,Facebook ,twitter if u know of a person attending the game tell me to get louder ,if we don't believe in our players who will ? Lets go rockets ! Lets go Red Nation time to imagine dragons and get radioactive in this Biooootchhhhh !

 

The Rockets offense was stagnant in the first, but still scored 49 at half which isn't bad. On the defensive end, if you breathe on someone, it's a foul.

 

I have to say after watching today, we have a lot of holes. We need a starting PG--none of these guys are going to do. We need another center badly; someone who can finish above the rim. We need some attention to defense and McHale's gotta hold EVERYONE accountable on the defensive end.

 

My god, my hate for Durantula is reaching a dangerous level.

His bony ass needs to stop trying to act tough all of a sudden

 

It doesn't work that way, bro.

 

I wanna see this lineup.
Beverly
Brooks
Harden
T.Jones
Asik


It just might work. Super small ball!!

 

You are an idiot.

 

Bwaaha. I was with you until you said next season.

You dating AB or something?

I do hope AB goes INSANE in the second half though. It will be a miracle if Lin comes back this game.

 

are double teams allowed?

 

I think harden struggles more with okc because
1) better defenders. Some are lengthy
2) he tires to do too much against his old team
3) don't get as much calls. Refs focus more on durant, Westbrook, etc.

 

Same problem we have had all post season. We're not shooting the 3 well thus we're down. Just imagine if we had 3-4 more 3s in. We would still be in this game.

 

uh no ... AB got back some of the offensive flow for the team. Got some floaters in. At least he can create some shots for himself and others with his speed.

Looks like he still doesn't have his 3pt range though

 

Dwight.
