ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 4/21/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

I mean if we are going to win or lose on 3s.. put brooks in... he is probably the best 3 point specialist we have.

 

LOL....in this game he sucked first and everyone followed. The game started out like garbage with Harden pressing too much. Game over......see all on Tuesday.

 

I wonder why Kmart didn't get playing time last year when the Rockets were in the playoff race.

 

McHale needs to increase rotation/variation!!

 

Grege Smith gave us nothin tonite. Can we plz see an unprecedented lineup change in the playoffs.

 

We definitely need a better coach next season, if you want a fighting chance in the playoffs.

 

when he sees the double team coming he just turns his back and accepts the raping

 

That's an overstatement. Call it growing pain. He'll be better next game.

 

Rockets fans are a pathetic bunch of whiners who dont deserve lin. there is no offensive gameplan at all, everytime lin gets the offense rolling a little bit with ball movement and pick and rolls they revert back to hero hardenball. harden played terrible, PArsons played HORRIBLE and the guy who at least held Westbrook to 3-8 shooting gets ALL the blame. hope Lin gets traded this offseason. and its sad that i say this because i like most rockets players very much. delfino, parsons, asik, tjones, garcia, patbev, AB. all great guys. it´s just the organisation that sucks and nobody sucks more than Daryl Morey and coach mcHell.
If those two were gone i would love lin to stay in Houston and would love to be a fan of the organisation but they they both suck sooo hard yet they think the yknow basketball better than everybody else. there has been NO improvements from the rockets all season long. just ups and downs like on a roller coaster.

 

people who say trade lin, don't worry, he will be gone by end of his contract. don't worry.

 

This game changed when McHale took out Parsons in the 2nd quarter just as he was getting hot because he picked up his 4th foul. No point in saving him.

 

Rockets ain't doing better without him...

 

Read the time, it was posted 3 min before your post.....

 

What did you guys expect from an undrafted overrated player like Lin. Westbrook will have his way with him.

 

Compete, probably not. But I bet he thought we would TRY

 

He was injured.

 

Barkley is a knucklehead, but when it comes to predictions he's right most of the time. Blowout..

 

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

How did we dig a deficit early? We run ISO on Harden, Lin, Parson. No one knew what to do. There was no pick, not just not enough pick. There was no pick! All the bigs must have been told not to give a pick. It was entirely on McHale, his plan totally backfired. Wanted to get the bigs started early, wanted the guards to shoot 3s early to stretch the floor. Should have just PnR, penetrate, attack the basket, only when they collapse on you, you shoot the 3. No X and O is really hurting this team. I still don't understand how this motion thing works. It seems to me, a few players just shuffle the ball a little and the ball ended up in one player's hand for ISO, most often Harden, but sometimes it is Lin and Parsons. Just really confusing offense.

 

When you've been trained all season to play like a backup, thanks to McFail, then you begin to play like one.
