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

Trill Harris just silenced the Angels, great night for Houston sports

 

You know what took them out of the game, Steven Adams fouls

The Russell Adams High pick and roll kills us, we can't really defend it properly, we need to attack attack attack Adams next game to get him into foul troble again

 

there's no excuse for taking 18 shots in 1 quarter and ending up only making 4 of them, Idc who your teammates are

that is disgusting basketball and just lowers the overall morale of the team

 

I'm just realistic. I learned to tame my expectations after the T-mac and Yao era.

Still...feels good to be up 2-0. Let's hope they don't have a meltdown like T-Mac and Yao did twice.

 

Kanter, Olaijdjdhddipo???

 

WB had his triple double so just wanted to play the hero. That was definitely stat chasing and putting up numbers for his MVP stature. Not solely, but obviously part of the reason.

 

All WB highlights so far on ESPN. LOL! What a bunch of crap.

 

we're about to turn the corner

 

It's great to see Gordon and Lou stepping up big time. Harden is Mr. Consistent. They can't stop him.
Ryan and Capela need to step up, especially the former. Give more minutes to Nene, and get him involved on offense.

 

<-- can take the 51 points. True MVPs lead their team to wins.

 

Kanter keeps getting owned by Beard, so liability on defense. Oladipo was 1/6 from 3, so I don't think OKC's coaches trusted him. Who else you got?

 

The Rockets held the Thunder to 43 points in the 2nd half. The Rockets made some adjustments and tightened up. It also helps to have someone like Westbrook bricking shot after shot in the 4th quarter, but there was a definite improvement. Let's take it to OKC in game 3!

 

Let it go, MVP race is done. Let's just dominate these guys.

 

Thanks zeeshan, i was waiting for this lol

 

Thry just showed Ryan Anderdon practicing his 3 point shot after the gane on root sports. Hope he shakes this off. Proud of him letting his performance motivate him for the next game!

 

Looking at the official rules, it states this...

EXCEPTION: During the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period, the ball may be passed anywhere (frontcourt or backcourt) on the court.
​

Since a tip doesn't establish possession, and because the ball can be thrown anywhere in the final 2 minutes, that may be why it was deemed a legal play. Not entirely sure.

 

at least you woke up earlier the rockets cause they were playing half a sleep during the first half

 

first Awesome win great effort by this team. hail for Lou and EG

Now im just waiting for espn tweet or headline... Westbrook score 51 POINTS DEMOLISHED The Rockets.. Rockets up 2-0 in series...
