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

That just sounds... wrong.

 

Especially after the video of Parsons and Lin last night.

 

Great effort despite the circumstances the team had to go through. I can't wait to see the team get all the pieces together. I also can't wait for the OKC game in H-Town. I am sure Thabeet will get his in H-Town. The guy has become a pain in the arse to the Rockets.

 

Once again, Parsons was definitely missed. Just the thought of him being wide open while everyone doubles up on Harden and Lin bums me out. I also believe that KD would not have dropped 37 points on us. But we fought hard, time to move on. Good thing the team does't have to play again until Sat. Well deserved rest.

 

You got the Chocolate flavor on top, the mayo in the middle and the lemon flavor on the bottom.

 

I missed the game and haven't read the recaps yet. But I found this picture and it makes me so happy about the guys in our uniform.



Harden and Asik look ready to swat Thabeet :grin:

 

The highlight of the game was Asik standing up for Harden.

 

Wow look at the box score on nba.com :

Royce White -DNP - Bus tire puncture.

 

I expected this. Onto the next one

 

Asik looks like Michangelo's David in that pic, a piece of art. I'm so homo-erotic tonight.

 

I actually went and looked, hoping it was true.

 

Asik's the other white meat. mmmmmh.

 

Hardens second half was alot better. His first half was farsical, inspid, garbage.....

 

Wake up, oh look a blowout! just like predicted after yesterdays starters minutes...

 

Does anyone else have as much faith as me that we'll indeed finally make the playoffs this year?

 

When I heard Parsons was out, my soul broke into tiny little pieces.
Just yesterday I was saying how HUGE his presence is on the court and tonight was was perfect showing of that.

So OKC's gameplan was to completely shut down the Rockets' backcourt and they succeeded. They dared everyone else to beat them.
James and Lin weren't able to get our offense going AT ALL because OKC kept double teaming them and it was damn near impossible to penetrate. James tried and resulted in 7 blocks.
And the team being fatigued was expected, but it really showed with all the missed free-throws and bricks.
Sigh. But whatever, I don't think this loss will affect the guys' confidence they had going in the previous 2 games.

Many circumstances made this game almost impossible to win and Im sure they're aware of that.
They are not excuses dammit, they're circumstances ok?

-Missing the huge presence of Chandler.
-Back to Back, without much or any rest.
-On the road and attending Sasha's memorial in between.
-Playing against arguably the best team in the Western Conference.

So meh, on to the next one.

 

Very thoughtful and well said.

 

That BS and majority points have drives basket. Track his last 20 make tell where there from.

Lin still bring up ball up more 50% of the time. After watch you back court mate miss several shot in row he can choose call play for himself. All he to wave one big man to set pick. I'm not even asking him to shoot the ball, I'm saying try run offense if he see Harden struggling.

Did you not watch Cook shoot 17 attempts? You telling me he has green light but Lin doesn't. I very little doubt Lin is creating his on passivity.

 

The improvement and chemistry they've already shown in the last few games (totally ignoring this one for the reasons I stated in my post) makes me VERY confident they will make the playoffs. Of course that's if none of the starters suffers a serious injury, heavens forbid!. /crosses fingers, knocks of wood, tosses salt over shoulder and gets out holy water.
