ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/28/2012

Yeah, seriously. And it's not just the flights, they had to go to what I'm sure was an emotionally exhausting funeral. Glad they went to support the McHales but I'll be it was really draining, combined with the game last night and the extra flight... then you lose Parsons and the coach runs f***ing Cook out there instead of Morris.

TOUGHEST GAME OF THE SEASON GUYS. You should expect the Rockets to lose this by double digits. If we somehow manage to finish in single digits that's a good game from us in this situation.

 

Lin fans are in denial it seems. It's everyone's fault but Lin's but the truth is, he is the only one holding himself back.

Harden seems to be nervous as hell, maybe he needs some baby powder on his hands because I bet his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his jersey already, mom's spaghetti.

 

Isn't this always the story?

Jeremy is playing about as good D as possible on Westbrook. Guy is close to unguardable.

Russell is getting good screens and driving/dishing.
I haven't seen any effective screens being set for Lin or Harden this game like Westbrook is getting.

 

How are we looking? Competing? Just picked it up ...

 

theyre idiots! MAN!

They are playing a really good team, this is not the knicks!

 

I mean Lin 's mistake gets magnified more than any other player on the team. Wtf. Why do much hatred? Just because of lofs?

 

Seriously guys, for as tired as these guys are and coming straight from a funeral, being down 12 is pretty darn good.

EVERYONE is missing FT's and making errors... still, the defense is very good all things considered. And remember, they've had 5 of their shots blocked. That's 10 points right there.

We won't get into some of the OKC phantom/touch fouls... those are expected on the road.

Game is far from over, so folks need to stop piling on the team.

They're tired, Lin and Harden played a TON of minutes last night, hopped on a plane at 2 am, went straight to a funeral for McHale's daughter, then hopped on another flight, went straight to the game, and are playing without one of the team's key players.

I don't know what some of you honestly expect from these guys. They're not machines. They're playing against one of the best teams in the league in THEIR House.

It's a 48 minute game and we're not being blown out at the half. That isn't bad at all given the circumstances.

 

This.

Reading all these posts: Our team is lying on the floor while OKC runs around.
Watching the actual game: Rockets are playing basketball

 

LOL Wizards game.

 

You would think the Rockets are the favorite to win the championship reading this thread

 

seems like Lin and westbrook are both intent on keeping one another shut down tonite offesnively. Both playing crazy defense. OKC really is double and triple teaming Lin tonite. Ton of pressure. LIn will need to start taking some shots to help carry the load with harden off tonite.

 

Board will be unreadable after this loss.

Knee-jerkers will ignore all the facts including
1)Thunder is the much better team
2)Back to back game
3)Players are exhausted flying from Minnesota
4)No Parsons

They will b****, whine, cry and call each other XOF/XOH.

 

finally a win for the wizards lol

 

Durant 6-10: 17 pts
Ibaka 6-8: 12 pts
K-Mart 4-7 (2-3 from long): 10 pts

Those 3 are killing us.

 

There's always excuses. The excuses just keep growing. Endless.

 

Why does Lin play so conservative? And also, do they not run pick and rolls with Lin?

 

Why arent they talking about harden? has anyone looked at his stats? its ugly...look at westbrooks stats...thank Lin for that...

 

MY GOD WIZARD WON A GAME.

 

Washington about to win their 1st game.

 

I'm in the middle of China. Sounds like you're more off the grid than I am though
