ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/25/2017

Christmas to everyone Merry and Earth peace on.

 

What time to be alive!

PG, Melo and WB are getting better!

 

we finally bounce back. Win.

 

Spoiler

 

Hopefully Clint plays possible to get a win with him. I'd say 100% chance with our full team. Although keeping expectations in check. I feel like a statement game incoming! Go rockets

 

Wouldn't be surprised if CP3 played limited minutes and Capela plays regular minutes. Moute definitely out.

 

Nobody mention Paul Gorge's defense on Harden?

Still remember Harden used to be struggling against Pacers.

 

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Scheduled loss

 

Nah! Pull a POP. It's a probable loss, so play the available starters 5 minutes a quarter & develope the tail end of the bench the rest of the time.

 

Grinch

 

If Chris/Clint are out, this will be a loss. Defense is too weak without them right now. If healthy, we obviously can beat them.

We'll see what happens. Team needs to wake up defensively. I imagine we'll get screwed over by the officiating once again, too.

 

put him on ignore, it's like Horton hears a Who

 

I believe this team can beat anyone when healthy, but the rotation is such a delicate ecosystem that wins will be hard to come by when multiple pieces are missing. It would be nice to win, but I don't see it happening if both CP3 and Clint remain out.

 

I have been excited for every Rockets game this season.

But, this Thunder game....I am not. Not looking forward to a hobbling shell of the Rockets facing a FULLY HEALTHY Thunder team ON THE ROAD in PRIMETIME and then hearing the HOTTAKERS after the game not take into account the Rockets injuries.

If the Rockets had Capela and Moute without Paul, I would be ok with it. ZERO chance they win this without Capela.

I honestly don't expect Paul back until at least the Boston game, but likely the week after that.

 

Well put.

 

3 lose in a roll AND it don't matter.

It is when season ends and playoff starts, do they have a full healthy team and a rested Harden?

If the answer is yes then doesn't matter about seating.

Would be nice to make it not have to go thru Spurs to get to Warriors but if this team is not heavily doesn't matter.

If this is the year then things need to break just right.

Remember the Astros weren't 1st place and the wildcard team took out the 1st place team.

Remember record wise Astros were the 3rd best team.

Remember at deadline they get an Ace.

Who knows.....

 

sorry i just dont see how can we lose to thunder...la teams were scrubs we underestimated and played at toyota...this is different game and we win regardless of if capela and cp3 play or not...

 

@DonKnock start lining em up

 

I will FULLY eat crow if the Rockets win in OKC without CP3, Moute, and Capela.
