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

We will come back. Im not worried at all. Harden or Parsons will heat up after half time.

 

Lin is doing nothing there. Cannan could get some time.

 

Really these are Rockets fans??? You want to dump on your players that have given their all playing forty minutes a night and now on their fifth game this week?

What the hell is wrong with some of you people? Reactionary is not the word.

They got no energy left so bench em, no problem.

But you want to trade James? Trade Lin (okay, maybe but not cause of tonight)?

Seriously. Get a clue or GTFO.

Again....

FIVE GAMES IN SEVEN NIGHTS, DEPLETED SQUAD, OKC RESTED AND AT HOME.

8-man rotation...

 

We just need to hang around. OKC is a great team but like what happened in the playoffs last year, they will let you back in the game. We just aren't making shots. If we can keep it around 10 till the fourth, we will have a chance.

 

Excuses, excuses, excuses...they are simply not trying and the referees have basically given Durant 4-6 points already.

 

Thunder at home is a tough team to beat. They always have playoff intensity crowds. Let's grind it out. Still a long game to play.

 

AB definitely isn't quicker off the dribble than Jeremy Lin, and he's much, much worse defensively. Maybe Brooks give you better 3-point shooting, but I wouldn't count on much more than that.

 

We've had plenty of these games this season. The only thing to be learned is that this team is a poorly coached.

 

Whenever the Rockets aren't doing good, the Garm turns into the same emotional hate as when the news was heard when they cast Ben Affleck as Batman, lol.

 

Durant is unstoppable. If they had Westbrook, they would be up by 50 on us. They are on another level compared to us as a team.

 

Harden looks really bad on the court i hope its because of the injury

 

They have sefaslosha guarding him, and he's getting no picks, with ibaka and Perkins guarding the rim, not much going to shake there

 

Nope.

A less talented Rocket team beat the Thunder plenty of times last year. It's a lot to do with tired legs on a B2B on the road against a fresh elite team.

Even so, they are still very much in the game score wise.

 

McHale does not run any plays, that is why the Rockets are not getting any clean shots.

 

I was expecting the Rockets to lose tonight regardless, everyone's been playing huge minutes and OKC is normally incredible hard to beat at home anyway.

 

In theory, but the offense is more fluid with him out there, the first qrtr should prove that.

 

You don't think the fact that he has no energy has anything to do with it? Back from injury this week and playing game five?

 

We got burnt. Time to rest the starters and play the rest of the roster.

 

Harden with the same predictable moves is the issue. He only attacks the front of the rim on offense and seems to only shoot at top of key. Tired isn't an excuse in the pro game. They don't head to the playground after games or go work an 8 hour shift after a game
