ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/27/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

0-2 to finish the regular season and 0-3 in the playoffs. This team just needs a damn W.

 

GO TO HELL JON BARRY!

Where's Brent?

 

No variance, just consistently not good enough.

 

um, did anyone say they didnt want him on the team? no.

he did f up BIG time down the stretch tho, and undeniably so.

 

We need to go after Bynum. Cp3 would be next.

 

have we not learned from the regular season?
harden iso's = turnovers, he's been doing it over and over in fourth quarters.

this is on you mcfail!!!

 

This is the exact play that I am a bit upset with Harden although he did a very good job tonight. He should have known better as a team "leader". We should have won this game.

 

Seemed like we couldnt get over the hump, every time we got close we couldnt take the lead. We finally got the lead with Garcias 3, n then Durants lucky shot happened. If it wasnt for that 3, we would have the lead, and the ball with 45 seconds to go, makin it possibly 2 possession game n that would of done it. But there's nothing that can be done now.

 

i think he does, with lin being a scrub, hes the only pg he can trust now

 

Asik 1-1, T-Jones 2-3, and G.Smith didn't play b/c his stomach sicks.

The Rockets big's offense is terrible

 

Man, Harden with those missed FTs and turnovers at the end really hurt. We let this one slip away

 

I agree. Just like jumping into the defensive player when you're shooting, just to try and draw the foul.

 

Did you see the game? Chris Paul was a no show in the 4th.

 

I need some anti-depressants after this game.

James with one of the most brutal CHOKE jobs I've ever witnessed.
And that right there is why he's still not on superstar level, but he's still a youngin', he'll learn from this moment

Garcia's epic game feels wasted, but Im not forgetting it. His shooting and more importantly his defense on Durant was GODLY. What a great vet to have on the team.

Tough loss aside, how can anyone not be excited about this team's potential? Even with all their young inexperienced mistakes (silly TOs, dumb fouls, inconsistency) they fought til the end, after being down by 30+ against the best in the West in the playoffs!! Can you imagine how good they'll be in the years to come?

 

You guys are unbelievable.

First year as a main man in the playoffs, Harden played his heart out. He had to do everything from scoring to playing point guard.

Yeah, he made mistakes, but he has holes in his game like everyone else.

KD is the hero today just because of a lucky bounce. If that shot didn't went in, Rox just need to throw FTs the rest of way!

 

Wow, they just showed the highlights...how many times did Assick get dunked on ?

 

Lol...Serge Ibaka plays occasional and spotty defense...but he isnt a beast...after watching him tonight...he is gonna cost them games...

 

Ew no.

 

Just being objective, but this loss is on Harden. Two unforced TO's missed FT's under the 3 minute mark is unacceptable.

And the basketball gods were against Houston tonight.

Ibaka backwards off-balance reverse? LOLWUT?!

Durant bounce a million times around the rim three pointer? WTF....
