ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 3/6/2018

Derrick Rose style

 

sorry, I checked my usual sources. they all did TNT. Clutch might have his own local copy.

 

I'd say he's pretty good at math:
1 - is the position we're in. Best record in the NBA so far
16 - how many games we've won in a row
50 - how many games we've already won this year
.794 our winning percentage

Yeah. He doesn't have a clue what he's doing

 

they lost several games last year vs spurs by pacing themselves and boston game this year...

 

this is why you're not a coach and for good reason

 

Thanks. I appreciate that.

 

I'm at that point in the season where I just shake my head at people that bash MDA, much like the people that continued to question everything Hinch did even all the way up to the World Series. They know what they are doing better than any one of us. They know, we don't, end of story.

 

surprised thunder didn't play with any energy. its like the game wasn't televised at all, they didn't seem to care.
why doesn't Patterson get more playing time?
I didn't see any team chemistry with them, the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.
surprised how stagnant Melo plays. he doesn't want to jump at all on defense. only time he seems happy is when he gets to tap his temple after a made shot. what happened to his days of playing physical and active?

 

Did anyone else hear Nate Robinson cheer for the Thunder?

 

It's like nobody told him he had to analyze what he was seeing, and that he had a mic on him. Any casual fan coulda done what he was doing. His comments were shallow, what's even worse is that dick fisher was amused by it and feeding off it. ya almost felt bad for Brent.

 

Did anyone else hear Nate Robinson literally non-stop the entire game?

 

Yep, a lot of armchair quarterbacks here...

 

MDA has flaws. He really struggles against Pop and can be short on rotations.

Still, he has the Rockets at 50-13 and outside of a 2-7 bump when Harden and Paul were banged up; the Rockets are 48-6.

The Rockets have lost 2 game in the last two months.

MDA deserves some credit for that. If nothing else he has maintained really good chemistry.

 

MDA knew that the more stoppages in play there were, the more OKC could settle down and focus. Keep playing = keep them rattled.

Besides, your math is flawed because the Rox average more than a point per possession anyway.

 

Damn, it's great to see @DaDakota with nothing to complain about.

 

Gerald Green gives us ZERO defense and was 2 of 7 on threes. I don't get it because Gerald Green is trash. He will never be a good bench player.

 

Super glad that CP3 has the go to shoot 3's at will in this system. Still need his short range shots but if he has an open three, let it fly. Must be a great feeling to have that freedom.

 

he brings absolutely positive energy

 

I was generally non-plussed about the commentary. And honestly, that is not a BAD thing.

What is WORSE is when the commentary can be annoying and that starts with REGGIE MILLER's drama-esque type delivery. Nails on a chalk board.

So, to be blunt, I'll take Nate's laid back delivery even if it is bland over Reggie's over the top schlock.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but I don't need broadcasters to give me a "show." The show is on the court.
