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

Suggesting we start PJ over Ryno?

 

Hard to expect a win but the end of the game was odd to say the least. Harden tackling Robertson, Clint’s missed FT’s, ariza almost airballing an open 3, a terrible TERRIBLE turnover in clutch time by Gordon and then deciding to give up after said turnover even though there was still 15+ seconds left.

Shitty end to an otherwise entertaining if unspectacular game.

 

We need to sign a player that is a superb ball-handler, which can reduce our turnovers during crunch-time, run the offense, and reduce the burden on Harden.

We could also really use another wing defender in the rotation.

Oh, wait.

Well, we did lose to them at home when they had a fully healthy squad. I'm not too down about it. But I'm really annoyed by the injury bug.

 

LMAO!!!!

 

The clown back to bringing out his multiple ids again.

 

it's obvious roberson / paul goerge is a problem for harden with or without cp3.

 

Ummmmm. . . . . we're on a 3 game skid now.
Can't stay out as long as he needs. We'd be out of the playoffs by May

 

I figured this was a loss. That’s why you can’t sh*t the bed against the LA teams.

 

This loss is better than the last two, losing at home against lottery lakers and clippers, they deserved the 3 game skid

 

It seems every team turns into offensive juggernaut against us.

 

6 TOs from Eric tonight. That's just terrible for our second option. Morey really really needs to find some veterans that can give us good minutes off the bench when we are down this many players. We get nothing from the bench and then Ryno goes MIA half the time. Such a good start, sucks to lose 3 in a row. Hopefully this humbles Clutchfans.

 

if chris paul is healthy and okc shoots anything like their normal jump-shooting percentage, we can, probably in 5 or 6.

 

Hubie's moan when Eric Gordon hit the long 2 was really loud

 

We have tried the Hack A Shaq move this season and it hasn't worked in any game we did it in. It just gave the other team free points

 

Ariza just never learns to stop pulling up for 3s in transition. And today he does it with 1 min left down 3.
I understand you were hot but not at that point. work for a better shot when the game is on the line or let harden shoot it.
We are still a stupid team unfortunately and badly need CPs leadership and intelligence more then anything.
And his ball handling also helps...

 

I hope he is durable but he is turning EGo in the past with those nagging injuries.

 

yup, this is going to happen time and time again whenever we play OKC.

Rockets fans better pray we don't meet them in the playoffs

 

James needs to be score first mode instead of just pick and roll passer. He limits himself by strictly playing one role. MDA needs to get him off the ball and draw plays that involve him moving. Morey needs to get to work, another playmaker is needed.

 

Regular season games don’t matter.

 

Gawd I hate all this losing lately ! Look at the warriors they have won a lot without curry the Roxs gotta figure it out
