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

The beginning of the 4th...when Mchale went with the scrub lineup..THAT'S when it fell apart. if you have the momentum you ride it. You don't switch to scrubs!!Terrible Terrible Terrible!

 

I think Bev was in foul trouble, McHale wanted to give players rests, and Brooks didn't look too good guarding Reggie Jackson probably lead made McHale give more minutes to lin than he wanted to.


The major reason the Rockets loss was their whole game plan the past couple of games was to let anyone else beat them except Durant and it finally backfired on them because Kevin Martin, Jackson, and Fisher stepped up.

We should give McHale a year to develop the young PF and Center.
And we have cap space.

Delfino out really hurt.
We should keep Gracia and Delfino.

 

at least the refs called a good game.

 

Yeah, whoever won this series would probably get swept by Memphis.

 

The way those two are playing the thunder might get lucky to sneak out 1 win.

 

I'm sure you are right....McHale knows Harden has all the strings so there's not much he can do as a coach...if you want to keep your job. Harden is here to still until his contract is up....if he turns into a bonafide superstar Houston won't do anything....if he turns to be bust no one will want to take his max contract...

 

It was a hard fought game and a disappointing 4th qtr, but the Rockets have a bright future and will only get better. Looking forward to next season... and seeing that floppy a-hole fisher retire.

 

Haven't felt this optimistic after loosing a playoff series since '92-'93 to the Sonics.

We're only going to get better.

 

No because if Lin would have showed up y'all would have tried to make him God and the team should have kept playing brooks because that rotation was getting us wins. The intensity of the playoffs is too big for Lin. I won't be surprised if he's hurt again around this time next year and I don't want him to be. Otherwise I love the rockets good year and I'm proud of them.

Bev 4/11 8 points/ Gave up 17 points / 32min

Brooks 2/3 4 points/ Gave up 7 points / 10 min.

 

The Coach himself is almost a newbie, how do you expect an NBA team, let alone the superstars to listen to what he says ?
Harden just straight out ignores him yelling in his face.

 

Congrats to the Houston Rockets for a great season. I couldn't be more proud of this team right now. We are a team on the rise from here on out and I can't wait for this offseason, next season, and future seasons to come. I'm very proud of this whole organization. Go Rednation! Go Rockets!

 

As an assistant coach sure...McHale can take his time to develop TJ, Dmo and TRob.

 

To see how exciting this team is, I hope the Comcast situation gets solved So that I can see my Rockets game. A successful season means more leverage for Comcast. **** Comcast

 

Can't blame one single player. We're not good at closing games, unless we have a big lead. Looking forward to Morey's off season trades and next year.

How can all 3 of our PG's only have 1 assist (belongs to Brooks) between them?

 

Cause you're suppose to respect HOFers!

 

With the way Beverley played, you cannot justify paying Lin 24 million. Lin is at least, expendable.

I like Lin, but Beverley has proven himself this playoff series.
