ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 5/3/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

I'm just saying based on what I see in the twitter reaction + the clear for injury thread. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. Even Jason Friedman was completely fed up with the amount of reaction there are.

 

Is there a clutchfans meetup at the stadium? Ima be there tonight!

 

That is the very truth, I have to agree.

 

One thing I want to see is for us to have no let down in intensity. I don't want to settle and be happy that we got two wins. I want us to start strong and focused. I don't want our team to be confident that they've figured out OKC's number and their effort doesn't have to be as all out.

If we can keep up our intensity, it's anybody's game.

 

Is this a red out?

 

For gawd's sake DO NOT say Joey Crawford any more ! Yikes !

 

I will be surprised if OKC plays with the same energy they have the last 2 games. 3-2 will probably wake them up a bit. If the Rockets shots are falling, I expect a close game. If not, the tables might be turned with OKC closing out the series on Rox court. Delfino will be missed. He isn't equivalent to Westbrook, but he is part of the synergy/energy the Rockets have.

If the Thunder don't respond well to 3-2, and the Rockets win, I certainly expect KD to find a way to make it a real battle for game 7. It's part of the DNA of players like him. He'd hate to lose the series on his own floor.

GO ROCKETS!

 

Lol I'm not trying to play any kind of victim. Looking at some posters on here and social media, it seems like No one wants Lin back this game. Obviously I dont think it'll happen, but I wouldnt be surprised if we hear some booes

 

That will make me a sad panda.

 

hope linsanity puts it all on the floor tonite. we could use a nice burst

 

Lin fans, stop downplaying the awesome achievement of this young Rox team ... Westbrooks this, Westbrooks that. If the Rox win the series, the story will be about the first team to come back from 3-0.

 

only 3 teams from that situation have extended it to a game 7. they're up against all odds tonight.

 

If he does not play because of the chest injury, then they would say he is too soft; now he is ready, and they don't even want him to play.

What a fan base!

Think about it: isn't it obvious that the Club hires those bench players because they are needed when starters need to get some rest or get injured. If these bench players cannot do anything on the court, why the Club hires them in the first place? So to me, it is natural that bench players got to step up when your starters got injury.

 

Say that to Harden. He had 10 TO and shot an airball in Game 4.

 

OKlahoma, Oklahoma here we come.

 

Anyone watching the Celtics vs Knicks game? Knicks are getting away with murder and getting calls after calls for flops and acting.

If the referees are this damn biased against us too, we stand no chance.

 

Not here following that game? He was crucified for it. And I don't know how many times we have to go over this.

Harden is an allstar/superstar who at any moment has the ability to turn what was once a terrible game into a superb performance. We do not have quality depth at his position and for good reason, Harden plays a lot.

PG on the other hand happens to be our deepest position. And the disparity in talent between Lin and his backup bev is nothing compared to the talent disparity in Harden and his backup. When Lin struggles we have someone to take his place that we can feel confident about, we don't yet have that luxury with Harden.

 

When Harden has 10 or more turnovers Rockets are 1-0. Maybe it's like Lin how fans are saying it's good if he has a lot of turnovers.

 

So I've watched all 5 games at my apartment so we've lost 3 and won 2 while I watched the games here. I was thinking about watching it a a bar. I'm a little superstitious in that I think me not watching the game from my apartment will some how influence the outcome of the game..... Am I insane?

 

Some of the posters here are pathetic.

Delfino will be missed but he's no Westbrook.

I better hear my TV set explode with cheers when Lin checks in.

The crowd better fire up and support our boys, light a fire under their asses!

We win this going away!

OKC will run home ****ting their pants, which will also be on fire!
