ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 1/5/2017

That was on the road not at Toyota center

 

Luckily for you that doesn't happen very often.

 

If Russ wins it can't really complain. Both have been crazy good this year. Both deserve to win it.

 

I do not want to play OKC in the playoffs.

 

Most talking heads would tell Harden not to make that pass because the whistle doesn't blow too often in the last ten seconds, but I think he made the right decision.

OKC probably has a right to be steamed, that was a good block with just a little bit of body contact.

 

All ball but heavy contact to the body

 

Great game by Westbrook... but it wasn't enough!

 

We won despite Harden playing ultra small in the 4th. Seriously, there were about 5-6 straight possessions in which Harden handled the ball at the top of the key, passed it off to a teammate, and just stood in place while the rest of the four players executed a play (which usually resulted in a miss).

 

I like this ad of bbhollic wearing his size 19 sneakers.

 

Just remember, last year that would have been Howard shooting those last two free throws.

 

So . . . .On a second Free throw
when does the clock start . . . .. on the release. . . when it hits the rim . . .or when it is touched by a player

If it is on the player's touch . . i think they would have given them the time out
and they would still had .7 seconds left

Rocket River

 

he had like 5 fouls i think

 

Westbrook played "big" in the 4th and totally shitcanned the offensive momentum OKC had established with Kanter and Oladipo. He hit one big 3 and bricked everything afterwards

 

What a terrible collapse.Thank god Nene stepped up but we really need a post scorer and more importantly someone who can clean the defensive glass. We giveup to much offensive boards and second chance points.

 

Pick your poison. We'll get them, the Grizzlies, the Clippers, or the Jazz in Round 1. Yikes!

 

On the touch

 

We just need a big and we will blow the top off them boys

 

That's kind of what I keep telling myself every time the Rockets let a lead slip away and win a close win: "If this was last year's team, they definitely would have lost." It's ugly wins like this that give me hope for the postseason.
