ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 4/9/2019

Agreed but there is nothing that can be done to change the result of this game. The Rockets can't afford to "what if" at this point. The egg is already cracked, you can't "uncrack" it.

 

Did those other guys play great for the first 3 quarters and have over 30 points?

 

his defense has fallen off so much this season i'm basically ready to part w/ him this summer. maybe we can con some team into giving harden another running mate

 

The real sad part I wanted Paul George on the Rockets, he was the missing piece. For a real chance at the Championship.

Not having a Starting Small Forward, that is 6'8, play quick defense, Hit Consistent 3s, Rebound

Danuel House is on team, but the Rockets Coaching seem to bury him. Either lost his confidence, scared

Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris is a huge need on the Rockets, This offseason, but Rockets Ownership will not try or care about Free Agents.

 

The Rockets choked so many games they should've won this season that they deserve to go through a hard path tbh, you just can't choke so many times.

 

15 points total between Gordon,Tucker and Rivers is RIDICULOUS !! (30 mins,30 & 21 respectively).Nene 12 mins (a joke as usual) with 2 reb & 0 points.

 

And who would you sign to replace him?

 

GSW in Rd 2 is a win-win. We lose, Clint loses out on his $1mill incentive, amirite?

 

How many points scored House? Add him to Nene to the other guys and yeah...

 

Then Denver gets the second seed.

 

I cannot believe the rockets lost I may not come here until the playoff start. I'm so disappointed. Win and your the 2 seed..

 

We had an outside shot at George.........but we blew that when we gave RYAN F**KING ANDERSON a 4 year 80 MILLION DOLLAR contract. That was the end of cap space in this era.

 

No team is beating GSW in the 2nd round. None. Not happening.

 

It's true. I think it's around 7 times we've done it this season.

The worst thing is, we was actually so comfortable for the first 40 minutes or so..... then they have go on a big run for like 4 minutes. We did dominate the game, but we allowed too many offensive boards, and that we didn't hit our open 3pt shots again.

 

other than the philly game w/ embiid, even faried held down that spot well enough. there are so many guys that give you most of what capela gives, ie noel, dedmon. especially when you factor in how many bigs just abuse capela in the paint. jerry west got zubac for free so i'm thinking morey would be able to find a couple guys

 

I feel like somebody told them in the huddle that the Nuggets lost when the 4th quarter started. Like...they completely choked up the moment Denver sealed the loss. I have to think somebody told them all they had to do was close the game out and it just broke their focus.

That’s the theory I’m going with

 

Harris is not a defender and he's more of a 4 ala Melo, Butler is the right guy for us, and he's the one the Rockets were trying to get few months ago so, hopefully they'll try again.

 

LOL I think Clint blew that tonight by bricking some more FTs .

 

They also choked last year, yeah injuries, but Ariza and Co. choked with their shooting.

And they had 1st overall seed, not just in the West, Overall!

Seeding does not always tell the story.

 

The Blazers didn’t just win at the buzzer.... they hit a three with 1.8 seconds left to win... the same amount of time left when George hit his three. Basically, short of Harden or Paul having a season ending injury, tonight was about as bad as it possibly could be for the Rockets.
