ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 3/11/2014

Jones as their starting SG than probably mix it in with Butler and Fisher. I don't know if Butler still have any game left.

 

Just joined the forum after the insane hype of the last game. Dang, the rockets are on a roll for the first time in what seems to be forever. Can't wait for this one!

 

I'm somewhat excited to see how Ham does against Durant. Can he contain him somewhat? If the can do that and hit his 3s, that's going to be a huge boost.

 

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Imagine matching last year's win total with nearly a quarter of the season left to play.

 

We have Westbrook to contain KD.

Hamilton should just focus on offense.

 

Hope Bev has good security and a food taster.

Might be going out on a limb, but I'm guessing that Bev isn't high on the "favorite visiting player" list...

 

lets go rockets! Lets hope that westbrook will play like always pat will play some great defense and i believe that we cannot loose from durant alone,harden for mvp if we finish top 2 and continue these appearences.

 

Over/Under how many times Westbrook targets Bev's nose?

 

Who is going to guard Howard tomorrow? The rockets are going to win the game from the center position.

 

As long as Howard delivers and draws the attention of Ibaka, it opens up the lane for our drivers and rockets will win.

 

Rotation of Collison/Adams and likely a few minutes of Thabeet for foul-absorbing.

 

Time for Harden to go off in OKC already. No more Thabo who usually defends him pretty well

 

Hopefully the refs don't overreact and Beverly picks up two fouls early. Pls not joey Crawford.

 

It will be time to UNLEASH THE CISCO!

Remember how well he played on defense against KD in the playoffs last year.

But seriously..

Remember, Cleveland went into OKC and flat-out blew the Thunder out, so hopefully these guys are watching some film. If the Cavs can do it, we can do it!

 

Yah, I don't think looking at Cleveland is a good gauge for how to beat OKC. OKC will NOT be going into our game the same way they went into Cleveland (24-40).

We're the hottest team in the NBA in 2014.
We're TWO games behind OKC for the #2 seed. A win would put us 1 game back.
We're on a 5 game winning streak and coming off wins against Miami, Indiana and Portland.
Harden used to be in OKC.
Pat Beverley.
Pat Beverley.
Pat Beverley.

On the one hand, Perkin and Sefolosha are out. And Russell Westbrook is a mess right now just returning from injury. So their roster is injured and that should impact their defense and offense significantly.

On the other hand, you can pretty much bet that OKC will be bringing it. The OKC fanbase really took the WB injury personally and you just KNOW the Thunder will bring a very high level of intensity.

Play off seeding match up. Maybe OKC is on the skids and come out a hot mess... much more likely they come out with high intensity trying to make this a statement game.

I expect this to be a serious dog fight.

 

I'm so freaking excited for this game. Time to show the world we're the best in the West! Dwight will be the anchor that pushes us to victory with perk out.

 

P.Bev Vs Westbrook since "the incident" is going to be a wild one. Especially in OKC. Bev feeds off of that type of atmosphere and I can see Westbrook being extremely aggressive from the start. This should be a fun one.

Red Nation!

 

Pumped up for this one, but it's going to be really tough to pull this one out on the road

 

Any bets on whether either or both get thrown out of the game?

 

Glad Perkins is out.

Just hopin for a well officiated game.
