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

It’s hilarious to see people singling out individual players to blame or trash on a night like this. Multiple guys on the team are exhausted, and there were plenty of tired mistakes to go around. And yet, the team is down 12 points at halftime to a much more rested OKC team. I would not be surprised if Houston lost, and I would not be surprised if it’s a blowout. But to blame individual players after what this team has done this week is just being a poor fan.

 

Look on the bright side. It could've been much, much worse.

McHale seriously shouldn't be running 8-man rotations for back-to-backs.

 

Well we went even with OKC in that quarter. Something to build on going into the second half.

There is no excuse to have a 8 man rotation right now. It is the perfect time to use Brewer, try to slow down Durant a little bit.

 

Harden has been inconsistent since week 2 of the season and has inflated scoring numbers due to free throw attempts . What's going on with this guy !!!!!

 

I call it like I see it. It's not surprising the starters have no energy out there tonight and a rested OKC are having their way.

These guys are human beings not robots.

It's called context. If this was game one of the week then I would be singing a very different tune.

Or are people only allowed to have one rigid stance that is devoid of nuance or context on here?

 

I swear to god some of you jack off to a bad Lin performance as much as some do to linsanity highlights

just as pathetic

Spoiler

outta here

 

only twelve. could have been an avalanche.

 

So that half could have gone better

 

We've won 3 in a row. Let's not get too greedy now. This IS the Thunder @ home we're talking about.

 

anything thrown up by someone not named brooks is getting rejected. we have to break out of this shooting slump. defensively, i'm seeing 4 durants and perkins. ahh.

 

one of only 2 players shooting 50 percent tonight

 

More reasons to think the Garm is made up of a bunch of psychopaths or trolls?

 

backcourt is a combined 3-16 compared to the Thunders 10 of 15. Reggie Jackson is looking like a allstar

 

Why not try Ronnie Brewer as a defensive option against Durant?

 

AB was able to get to the hole. I think Lin will warm up but the whole team is out of sync and this is a game to shoot mid-range shots. When you have a long, athletic team, you need to drive and stop and pop or have better ball movement. We need to move the ball around and get some rhythm in the offense.

 

By reading this thread, one would think that we're down 20+

 

I don't hate anyone on the Rockets.

But Lin is not immune from criticism, like any other player. No one is playing well, but Jeremy is supposed to take care of the ball, fight over screens, etc...

You're making assumptions about me as a fan. I've been a fan way before Jeremy, and I will be a fan way after him.

 

but AB +2, Lin -14.

Lin was not playing better than AB at all.

 

Lets hope Harden and Lin turn it up in second half

 

We look very tired.
I thought we are losing by 25 by now but only 12.
