ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 12/1/2024

The Bests in the Wests!!!!!

 

I think Reed is in the most optimal learning situation that a rookie could possible be in. Directly behind FVV, who is very much his prototype, and gets 10-15 minutes a night. Nash was able to backup Kidd for a bit, and while he struggled to start his career, it really helped overall. While we are winning and can afford to get Reed those minutes, I absolutely love the situation he is in.

 

The foul fest called against the Rockets midway through the third quarter was an atrocity. Glad the Rockets pulled out the win.

 

thunder fans are so butthurt on twitter lol

 

They can never take the W.O.W lineup from us!!!

 

Back then it was W.O.W.

Now, it's simply "wow!"

 

That looks like a pretty good crowd! Wish I'd been there for this one.

 

I like seeing how happy guys are on the bench when their teammates do well on the court. When was the last time the vibes felt this positive with the Rockets? 2018?

 

The players need to watch film closely, so they can reduce their mistakes.

 

Wow. Dillon saw Alpi in trouble on the floor and immediately went to him and the ball (which was not easy), getting the pass the only way Sengun could make it. Brooks scores just before time expired. A brilliant play by both of them.

 

Appreciate that. I ended up just rewatching the entire game.

 

I would too. We stole Sengun from them.

 

Yeah bro maybe don’t show up to the forum after a big win with your wet blanket bullshit?
This post is pretty dumb if you’re actually one to sit and think about things.

 

They are pretty arrogant but that admittedly is because the last 2 seasons they have been the up and coming team with a warchest of picks and young studs on their team.

 

Played by Les Claypool & Co.

 

You don't say!
That's deep, man.

 

I said Jalen green is expendable and Sengun needs to dominate more and that’s the takeaway you got from it? You aren’t the brightest guy, I’m not arguing with you.

 

Not sure why you'd want a guy like him gone when he's exactly the right compliment on this team. A roll player with superstar abilities. There are dozens of teams that would kill for a guy that isn't too big for the game and feel like they have to feed him every night sink or swim.

Right now Jalen is a plug-n-play guy that we can change out later if need be, but also doesn't disrupt the flow of the game when he's in. I'm sure many here were seduced by Harden being "the guy" and unfortunately the Rockets were forced to build around him instead of putting the best players on the court to win it all for the team. I for one have accepted Jalen for who he is, and feel he's worth the spot on the roster to excel in.
