ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/29/2013

Last couple of games I've tuned in late, around the fourth quarter and they've gone on impressive runs.


Might have to do it one more time.

 

Uhhh what???? They're 3rd in the league in defense. How would surrounding KD/RW with elite defensive role players lead to a terrible defensive team in any case

 

We'll blow them out.

 

Go look at what high scoring teams like the Clippers, Warriors and Trailblazers did against them. Plus Westbrook is out. Man we are putting up 105+ on the Thunder. Best believe that

 

Maybe if you tune in earlier, we would have blow them out :grin:

 

Our starters can hang with theirs, but their bench is too deep. Lamb will light up Garcia, no one to box out Adams.

 

Rockets play bad on back-to-backs so much that I worry about this game. Still maybe we can manage with WB out. We usually seem to play OKC tough.

 

that is a GREAT gif . . . I could watch that all day. absolute bowling pins. :grin::grin:

 

Aren't the Rockets something like 7-1 on back to backs this season?

 

We win if we stop being crap on shooting 3's

 

Man. I know it is just part of the NBA. But to go in to OKC at the tail end of a 4 in 5 seems pretty daunting. We win this that will be quite impressive. If we lose I am not sure that we can look at this as a true litmus test on where this team is at.

 

B2B, 4th game in 5 nights, 7th game in 10 nights... in OKC. After playing the most games in the season to date of ANY team in the NBA (32). Absolutely brutal.

Hope the team has enough in the tank for this one. Wouldn't be shocked at all if they had nothing left.

 

I didn't even think of that one. We are sitting at 32 games played and OKC at 29. Eesh

 

My 13 year old's "big" Christmas gift is a trip to OKC to see this game with me. I'm so excited. We'll be wearing red in a sea of blue, sitting right behind one of the baskets.

GO ROCKETS!

 

Tonight is as good a night as any to break out of our slump

 

Look at it this way though, if you're gonna be in that situation where the team is likely running on fumes, why not have it happen against the Thunder who were probably gonna beat you anyway?

I can't see the Rockets pulling this one off. I'll gladly eat crow, but I expect a double digit loss.

 

I miss Delfino


P.S. Our guys are going to be tired tonite.

 

no drexler tonight.... woohoo

 

Boring game, no Westbrook no Bev. But there is Garcia and Durant.

 

Parsons, Lin, & Jones need to step up big. You know one of Dwight or Harden will.
