Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 8/22/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Westbrook please save us.

 

The refs were wrong on the "no touch" by Adams. The ball was spinning forward, and after Adams touched it, it spun backwards. Balls don't change direction that quickly in the air without a touch. Bad call by the refs.

I agree with MDA, the Rockets played poorly tonight. And anyone tries to blame Harden for this, they are idiots. It was him that kept us in the game. This was a TEAM loss. I hate this piling on Harden by the haters when we lose. LeBron, MJ, and Kobe would not have won this game with our TEAM tonight.

 

Harden and the coach blew that. You can't foul yourself out to start OT James. Coach, you have two TO's. Advance the ball.

 

Ok so:

1. you admit you were wrong about scola
2. You bring up a defensive play in which what you argue is our goon gets his tooth knocked out by the biggest Psuy to ever play the game.
3. You argue that chuck is a goon because he's a legend.

wow man.

 

the refs set the pace of the game which favored okc, we didnt play well because the refs were dictating how physical we could be on defense

 

Thought it was a frustrating game for both sides until those ref calls became the game changer.

 

That was the worst. It felt like everytime we played GSW in a close game, and everything at the end went their way to win. Seriously... the inbounds, the missed FT, the open man for a 3, Harden fouling out, CP3 hitting a monstrous shot. I wish we had just lost in regulation and simply been outplayed. The thing is, I dont think we were outplayed. It just seems like we couldn't have anything go our way, had serious officiating mistreatment in the first half, and missed a ton of shots in the 2nd half.

Our inability to grab a rebound in OT made me want to throw my beer through the bar tv.

Its like everyone outside of Harden and Green brought their F games (and we still could've easily won had we inbounded the ball, or hit both FTs HOUSE).

I'm so pissed right now. Literally that was the worst way it could've gone.

 

Dont forget the horrible shooting by Harden and Gordon. Got lucky with the poor shooting in game 2.

 

They hit their 3s, game won. Easy peasy.

 

you are a simp

sucka idolizing mediocre p***y

you think doris is sexy dont you, just like that cornball drake.. some of yall would smash anything

 

Yes, if Harden was perfect from the FT line, Rockets win easily.

But he appeared hurt, which is natural considering all the fouls not called for him since Game 1.

But when your star puts up 38, the rest of the team.needs to do better.

But you do you.

 

hahah i do it all time when they play and play like crap. You act like you dont call em names when youre in the living room, please mr innocent dont be a hypocrite. I hear worse names at sport bars.

 

I just want to know why we did not play Covington in the end?

House defense lose us this game.

 

i donno man...this was just .....not right at all. We chocked that win away. All we had to do was inbound the ball.

 

1. Shows i'm open minded and you're not
2. You didn't even read what I wrote -- Nowitzki's teeth got knocked out (needed surgery) and one of his teeth got embedded into Carl Landry's elbow.
3. Chuck is a legend because he's a goon, I don't know why you're so difficult.

 

harden fouls 30 seconds into overtime didnt matter huh

 

Should be up 3-0

Gordon continues to suck from long range

Dort is a problem. I don't get how BMac doesn't get more minutes, however. (>40% 3-point shooter)

House with some bad gaffes late.

Completely undisciplined those last few minutes

BOUNCE BACK ON MONDAY!!!

 

Gordon ISO ball ＝ Disaster

Never do this again!

 

No, I don't call our players names other than scrub, and I definitely don't call them slurs. Grow up child.

 

We're such a dumb team. We're up by 2, so you want a small guy like CP3 to drive to the basket for the layup. It wasn't even an open layup.... there's probably a good chance he misses it. Instead, we help on the drive and give them the wide open shot for the lead. If we let CP3 score that layup, the game still would have been tied, and there were only 24 seconds left on the clock with us having the final possession. In other words, I think we win the game if we let CP3 take that layup.

Surely MDA would have told them to give up the 2 but not the 3? Especially when we would have had the final possession.
