ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/19/2017 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

This factoid needs to be wrapped in a clever tweet to ESPNike.

 

Time for Road Anderson to show up next game and get stupid hot from downtown.

 

i would love to see our coach take a fine for the team tonight in the interview! f**k those refs!

 

If they did, they would have missed the shot.

 

We call that "loserball".

 

Westbrook goes nuclear: Thunder lose. Next. This is why folks don't want to be on the same team with this guy. It is still a team game. Look out if Gordon and Williams get hot in the playoffs. If Ryan joins in, we may have shot at it all.

 

Now Ryno will show up in away games and it's 4-0 sweep

RIP OKC

 

the rockets didn't pull anything.. Russel simply pulled a Westbrook.. he thinks he can will OCK to win every game

 

In other news... Russell Westbrook took more shots by himself than the entire Rockets (or OKC) team made ....

 

hahaha smdh

 

I sure hope we bury these guys and take them out first round.
How VALUABLE is your ball hog if you can't get out of the first round?

I don't think an MVP has yet to come from a team lower than 4th seed.
WestBrick would be the exception. A first round exit would surely make those voters look bad

 

refs are gonna be out for our head when we get to OKC. The NBA does NOT want to see this series go down as a sweep. We're the most watched series at this moment. They want people to see the two MVPs battle it out. Expect a LOT of BS calls against us

 

Never gets old

 

ROAD RYNO, BORROW THE HEART OF A CHAMPION FROM DREAM AND JUNK YARD DOG

 

shrug. With all that bullsh*t Westbrook was throwing up, Rockets only got hold of the game at the end. Great Rockets execution and a tired chucking Westbrook.

 

The difference between harden and westbrick. When they pass to teammates, and the teammate miss, Harden would sometime iso or pass it to his other teammates to get them going. Westbrick is like nah u miss, not passing 2 u again.

Harden had his iso period during Mchale era, so he matured as a leader. Westbrick can't be a leader and would never mature if he doesn't take responsibility for being such a ball hog.

 

not sure if serious

 

Unfortunately missed the first 1 1/2 quarters of tonight's game. Set the alarm for 3am to watch the game only to find out that the game had already started....BUT man what a comeback. Rockets had no offensive rhythm until very late in the 3rd but thankfully closed out strong. Westbrook was on fire early and then literally shot them out of the game. Great game by Lou, Ego came up big as well...and Harden, even with his shot not falling early, still pretty damn efficient - that guy is just so good offensively. Headed to OKC up 2-0 #RunAsOne

 

Guess you won't be on any of my squads anytime soon.

 

First half - Westbrook gets teammates involved, OKC manhandles Rockets.
Second half - Westbrook is seduced by the dark side of hero ball, shoots his team out of the game, Reggie Miller declares "He's the only one on the team that can score! Rockets are too stacked!"

It's encouraging that the Rockets won despite the Thunder leveraging seemingly every advantage they have - Westbrook going crazy, murdering them on rebounding, playing good defense, and getting a lot of crappy reffing on their behalf.
