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

Put the broom back in the closest okc!

 

THIS. Lin is a good kid and has some potential but his fans and haters are cancerous to a team and the fans. Clutch went through this same thing with the YOF's and YOHs back in the 2000's and we only got rid of this crap after it was universally regarded that Yao was a top 3 center in the league.

The only way we'll be rid of this BS is if Lin evolves into an elite player...I don't know if he can. He can certainly be grow to be a solid starter....but that won't be enough to get rid of this LOH LOF nonsense.

 

Shaq in post-game just said it best, he almost gave the game away. But I do think he will learn and grow.

 

You're dreaming....it was HORRIBLE to OKC's advantage. The refs tried EVERY way they knew to help OKC win it. And I've watched a ton of basketball in my time.

 

This guy is obviously a TROLL. He is listed on our Admin "Problem Users" sticky.

 

Shaq speaking truth.

 

Shaq: Didn't like James last 5 shots, settled for jumpers. They could have gave that game away. When the jumper isn't falling, you have to mix it up.

Kenny: Rockets are learning. I would imagine they just wanted to extend it.

McHale: The jump shots at the end, they're all or nothing shots. We gotta get that thing in the paint.

Important for us to play a team that wants to close you out on the road. Important for us to win this game tonight. It was our first playoff win as this group. We needed this game for us.

 

harden really sucked tonite

 

same for lin, parsons, etc.

 

Kenny also making sense though he thinks Parsons been in the playoffs before..

 

AGREED! OUR WIN TONIGHT IS A MIRACLE BY GOD. THE OFFICIATING WAS SO BAD. WE STILL WIN.

 

Thank you Ibaka! for pulling that clutch Jermaine O'neal-esque move.

The Thunder are not getting past the 2nd round, hell they might not even pass the 1st

Fantastic game by Chandler, he's turned it all the way up the moment Lin went out with his injury. That bromance is on another level lol

James with the double-double thanks to those painful boneheaded turnovers.
There's still *hope* but only if he plays even slightly above scrub status. That first half was one of the saddest performances I've seen. He just needs to stay focused!!

 

You sir are an idiot as is everyone else that believes this. The rockets are a lottery team without harden. The 4th qtr ISO do need to stop though.

 

If you think McHale likes ISO, then you havent been listening to his interviews. He preaches ball movement and stickiness as the problem for the Rockets late game as was shown tonight. I think Harden just doesnt trust his etam mates enough or the guys arent just moving off the ball. They freeze in clutch moments and that ahs been magnified these past few games.

 

LOL @ Rockets "fans" quit whingning about Harden already!!! This was a great team effort. I blame McHale for these last minute ISO plays.
They havent been working all playoffs why do we keep going to it? set a friggin screen and get some ball movement going. Once Hardens shot starts falling then call these plays but right now his shot is MIA.

Great win! I love this TEAM!

 

So he played with a chest contusion in game 1 too right? lol, I like Lin bud but you need to stop making excuses for him. Bev has outplayed him thus far, enough said.

Also Bev and Brooks are not scared to shoot.

 

Thank god someone called Harden out.

 

Man Jackson and FISHER have to cool down from 3 pt land. They hit every 3 they shot up.

 

Yeah, Shaq told it like it is. JH certainly hasn't come up big in this series.
