ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/29/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Did you guys watched GSW vs Denver last night? The Warriors are scorching hot right now. Seems so long ago when we were killing the Warriors with ease.

 

Maybe this game is all Leslie Alexander needs to fire McHale.

 

Hardens heart still in okc???

 

that second quarter needs to be forgotten in a hurry - Harden better do something at halftime - drink more water, get smacked upside the head by McHale - i dont care he is the franchise he cant be making stupid TO after stupid TOs while not attacking the basket or play defense.

Parsons, Garcia and Asik are carrying this team on both ends and that wont win the game for the Rockets.


Also Brooks needs to play more and probably handle the ball a bit more if Harden keeps "producing" the way he has this game

 

The Thunder should not be leading this game. IF the Rockets win this game they need to be leading by double digits. IF the game is close in the closing minutes advantage Thunder.

 

I blame the coaching for that. Coaching needs to put him in better situations rather than expecting him to be a hero 48 minutes a game.

 

Fatigue? come on now! there has been plenty of rest between these games. I'm also tired of the Mvhale-needs-to-yell-at-harden proponents. Phil Jackson has famously said he had different rules for different players.

 

I rarely ever visit game threads, and now I remember why.

 

It's only a 7 point game!! We got this y'all.
And please don't knock Harden or Bevs performance in the name of Lin, that's stupid.
As for making fun of posters who are still dogging Lin in this game, lol.

 

Lol no mention of the Rockets on halftime show, guess their being nice though and not pointing out the Rockets' woes. OKC will only lose if they beat themselves, and it looks like they're slowly figuring out life without Westbrook.

 

rockets have no closers and make many mistake late, better get a lead going into the final minutes

 

Yeah, let's say positive things for what might be their last game, and send GOOD VIBES!

 

Come on guys. Durant has 5 TOs too. Don't be too hard on our players. Both Harden and Lin play very important roles to this team.

 

Harden's run out of gas from being worked into the ground all season. He's only human.

 

Youth is no excuse for letting Martin & Fisher get open three after open three. Parsons is doing okay, but he's partly responsible for those and Harden of course..

 

someone remind harden that it's fisher guarding him not scottie pippen on a switch.

 

McHale's job isn't in danger... he took an extremely young and inexperienced team to the playoffs, doesn't matter if we get sweeped or not. I say they fire him if we don't finish 6th seed or higher and only take 1 or 2 in the playoffs.

 

We're shooting 57% from 3 and still down 7.

 

Response

I do agree that Harden without getting ticky-tacky fouls is an above average player but not an all-star. He has too many TOs.

 

I don't even understand what you're trying to say lol.

Yeah we need Harden to help out to win, but he's not our ONLY shot at winning. AB, Cisco, Delfino have all stepped up tonight. Asik has been pretty good on the boards as well.

If anything, we'd have a better chance at winning tonight if we benched Harden. He's played like crap all night.
