Clutchfans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 8/29/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

MDA going to speak to media in 30 minutes for regular pregame stuff.

We’ll know at least by then if we’re taking the court.

 

Giannis: “I’m gonna boycott the game because I know Harden won’t and it will cement my legacy”

 

Extra day(s) for Russ. Could be a good thing.

 

him turning things around would be a miracle at this point

I’d understand if this was a couple of weeks or even a month of bad play, but this has been an entire season of atrocious play

at this point, it reminds me of how Billy D kept giving Melo 30+ minutes and 14-15 shots even tho he was horribly inefficient and was killing OKC with his play, especially in the series against Utah when he had 1 of the worst net ratings on the team and the worst plus-minus, and every time he was off the floor, OKC was outscoring Utah in that series

it’s so hard to believe he’s this garbage, but it’s been the case for so long that it might just have to be accepted as the reality

 

Holy **** , I know it’s the rox game thread but mil boycotted .

I see MDA is gonna say something . Wow . Turbulent times we are living in y’all

 

Welp playoffs are probably done not sure how boycotting games is going to change anything in society but more power to them

 

I was thinking jokingly that cp3 should instruct okc to boycott game 5 to the rockets as a birthday gift to harden lol

 

did both teams agree ?

MIL so good they can just sport ORL a W .

I can see this being a blip . Maybe players are feeling sick of the bubble .. idk .

 

OKC don’t want us getting another day of rest for Westbrook lol.

 

i don't mind boycotting. let's say stopping the playoffs for a week. it could raise awareness.
also, potential extra time off for Russ.
not sure how that TV deal gonna work tho.

 

hey , he showed some signs last game and hit a few 3’s in a row . His athleticism looks pretty good and if he can just be somewhat respectable from 3 then he’s great depth .

 

It's not even Corona, BLM truly rules the day.

 

From what I’ve read it says that Bucks chose not to take the court.

From that verbiage it doesn’t seem as if it was a mutual agreement, but it just happened so more info could come out.

 

Should have boycotted game four when they saw Tony Brothers was assigned.

 

Welp this game ain't happening.

 

Will rockets follow suit to get Westbrook healthy... Dantoni says, “don’t even step on that court!”

hahahahahaha

 

You already know cp3 and the players Union will stop this game from happening

 

I just saw we and the thunder are boycotting too

edit: from shams

 

No game 5

 

Just read OKC and Houston planning to boycott tonights game.
