ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 2/9/2019

Playoff type game. The Thunder are tough. Paul George is a legit MVP candidate.

Can’t wait to get Capela back.

 

worst loss of the season, especially with the playoff seeding implications

on the plus side though, tilman doesn't have to pay any lux tax so it's still a great time to be a rockets fan

 

We had zero answer for PG. It sucks because he should have been here but.....Ryan Anderson smh.

 

It's the worst loss until the next choke. Just wait a few games.

Orlando choke was bad ... until the Nets choke ... until the blowout in Philly ... until losing to the Pelicans missing half their starters/team ... until getting run in Denver ... until tonight's choke.

 

well damn

 

Or attack the basket for two points like he did to put us (briefly) back in the lead.

 

Cleveland and New Orleans losses were much worse.

 

Tucker simply has not been good enough this year and it's bad he has to start.

 

Yea if that's what people wanna blame him for, im good. Faried is a terrible terrible TERRIBLE defender.

 

Paul George is sensational.

 

I think he had a triple double or very close to it. That’s not washed. Paul is extremely fragile, yes washed not yet.

 

This loss is disastrous, all the Harden haters were waiting for a moment lile this to come out of the woodwork and discredit his MVP chances.

As for the team it shows they are still vulnerable to offensive brain farts, when the Rox offensive engine stalls you better hope and pray those Harden isos go in otherwise the team is doomed, MDA can't draw plays to save his life and Harden and Cp3 just dribble the air out of the ball and take a hail mary shot with 3 secs left on the shot clock wtf.

 

Led by 26 points, its very hard to manage to loss.

 

Our coach just doesn't want to call timeout when the opposing team is killing it and his inability to adjust is suspect. Anyway, as always rebounding and cold shooting spells doomed us.

 

Rockets win by 8-10 points with Clint...I could be on here faking outrage, but this choke gets nothing more than a shrug from me...on to the next one

 

I'm beginning to notice a trend....

 

Not a ****ing clue, I seriously couldn't understand that sequence. Why shumpert was brought in is beyond me when rivers is cp3 backup

 

I'm not saying this is the reason we lost, but cp3 was rolling and got us to a 5 point lead after being down......what does coach do? he subs him?
How the hell with the game on the line do you let westbrook ballet his way to the rack for a lay up, untouched?
On to the next I guess.

 

you could see they were allowing them to get into James opposed to when they were playing PJ tucker vs George. But its alright this is the kind of adversity it will take to compete in the playoffs clearly the refs were controlling the whistle on James Harden

 

Can't read too much into things until Capela comes back, but I'm going to really disappointed off if Tilman doesn't spend to get us a decent wing this summer. There's no better evidence than tonight.
