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

Was just about to say this. Rather find out our weaknesses now than in March or May.

 

Refs or his effort or something
but they have made him a foul machine

Rocket River

 

well when CP3 & Luc are out, and you no longer have Lou, Pat, Sam or Harrell, the rotations get smaller.

Rockets will be fine, schedule got tougher at the same time dealing with injuries.

It still has yet to be proven if that start of the season is fool's gold until we start losing as a healthy team.

 

8 man rotation is Morey & MDA fool's gold

 

it's actually a 9 man rotation with everyone healthy.

 

Still not enough.

 

9th man nene who can't even play every single game?

there's a reason why gsw & spurs have a 12+ man rotation

 

Wow does that 14 game streak seem like it is in the distant past. Losing to OKC on the road. Well, tough game. But losing to that bowl of smeg called the LA Clippers BLEW. Obviously not mathematically. But Boston or Washington is a MUST win in my opinion. These guys have to taste a win again soon. Then come back and castrate the Lakers for starting this bullsh*t.

 

Houston sports is filled with so much disappointment through the years. Thank you, Astros for giving us a few moments of incredible joy before DW inexplicably hurt himself in practice. Thank you, Clutch City for filling our eyes with tears of joy so long ago. Thank you, George Blanda and Billy Cannon for giving us a couple of years of thrills in the distant past. Thanks, Earl Campbell for the incredible memories. I will never forget Luv ya Blue.

 

I'm a stand behind the Rockets. I just want them to be healthy. I won't be too disappointed if they get knocked out in WCF this year... i just want to see improvement. We might get Lebron next year never know...

 

CP3 is a difference maker without a doubt. I’m entirely confident when we have cp3 we can beat any team. Losing mbah hurts to.

 

still undefeated with cp3 healthy

 

I fully expected us to lose this game and it is better to show our weaknesses now rather than later. We need players that can come in and play like professionals. We have time to fix this before the playoffs. If we strengthen the bench we will be good, if we don't then we are wasting our time. CP3 and Luc are not enough. We need at least a capable 11 player rotation.

 

The moment Russ gathered the ball, Harden just stands there. As Russ starts down court he just stands there. You fu@king hustle. You run back to help your one defender. You do something other than stand there at your three point line as the play ensues. You don't know if the layup gets blown, or if your teammate makes a play.

 

ryno shrinks faster than a wool shirt in the dryer...

 

Wow just realized we have the Celtics & the Wiz on a back to back next.

Life is so unfair.

 

Re: PJ's seeming regression over the past few games, did we ever find out what was going on with his leg after the Lakers game?

 

Wish we had Beasly right about now or lou will. Morey needa to get this team some depth or we are going to have the same problem in the playoffs like last year when nene went out

 

Impossible to say. I was replying to someone that said we’d be blown out w/Capela but no Paul and would have lost by smaller margin w/Paul but without Capela. I said the opposite was more likely so actually my theory turned out to be exactly right.

 

Right though. Without Capela we would have less wins.

The Backup C position is short.
