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

Bad loss and we lost it in the end. Just a bunch of mental errors. It happens, just need to clean that up and get up 3-1. Hopefully harden isn’t hurt.

 

Why you talking to me then? High Society people here my bad. Got rabbai's and priests here LOL!

 

eric gordon should just never handle the ball.... like ever.

the problem is he can't shoot like Klay to just be a primary off-ball player.

i'm tired of seeing him trip over himself trying to shake a defender in isolation. he's the most painful person i've ever watched dribbling a basketball.

 

Yes the spin was telling. Rockets is trying to inbound a basketball, they're not pitching a baseball.

But because harden v. cp3 had the tie-up (defensive rebound) prior, harden won that call. So Refs do this thing where they feel obligated to "balance it out" and give the next call to the other team.

 

winnable game spoiled by

i cant believe even after reviewing they missed it.

 

1. Shows you're a bad judge of goon-ness
2. It was a completely unintentional play, watch it again
3. Chuck Hayes has never been in a single altercation in his entire Nba career. He's as much of a goon as Shane battier.

 

I think you have to play Westbrook next game. Need to put them away.

 

I think another angle showed it clearly didn’t go off Adams unfortunately.

 

New offensive wrinkles are nowhere to be seen when the game is close.

They need more players in those corners, can't just have PJ there.

 

Just because I’ve seen a few posts in it:

I don’t know if people saw a different angle of the inbounds involving Adams, but a camera angle from the left shows the ball came nowhere close to touching Adams.

The angle from behind made it seem like he touched it, but just want to clarify for those who may have missed the other view. It was the correct call from the officials and wasn’t really debatable from the other angle.

 

House cost the rockets the game I would say

 

How can 1 angle be obvious that it did and another it didn't? How did an untouched ball change direction/spin in midair?

 

u sound stupid...move along man

if you're a grown man still calling people "f*****" you're a loser

 

first on silver, later on MDA...

adams CLEARLY tipped the ball on the inbounds. and gordon falling right as the ball is passed is called a foul 99% of the time in this league. this game was rigged from start to finish and i mentioned that it would be earlier today when posting the ref assignments. montgomery f'n burns was able to move heaven and earth to create this bubble from scratch, but still can't fix the officiating. this is a rigged league and it will obviously get much worse next round.

MDA was sitting on the bench most of this game. and his lazy attention to detail overflowed in the final minute. he could have easily inserted clemons who is a waterbug able to go and get the inbounds pass, dribble downcourt and then shoot FT's at a 90% clip. even mclemore would have been better than just doing nothing. he could have used one of the timeouts he saved by not using his coach's challenge all game even though there were 20? fuking possible plays it would have helped us -- to advance the ball to halfcourt for an easier pass. smh

 

Mr. Nutcracker Paul got his cheap shot in as usual. I really wanted us to wrap this series up by Monday dangit. I hope the satellite or electricity doesn't go out Wednesday when the storms roll in.

 

Westbrook game 4 yes please. Put these mfs out their misery

 

okay Rabbai Reeko , yes sir!

 

Ball rotation drastically changes after Adam's swipes it.

Absolutely horrible call overturn.

Grossly corrupt.

 

I am not even mad at the refs. I am mad at House. Random fan like me knows you shouldn’t leave shooters wide open in that situation and I just don’t understand why NBA players are so dumb in these situations.

 

they replayed it on the local stream. The ball was nowhere near his hand.
