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

lets hope Rockets go on a run coming out the half and its not OKC

 

Its happening every single game, the thing is that the Thunder are actually a good team. There are MAJOR flaws that won't be covered up every single time.

 

Stop blaming Lin he is not the guy who need to get us back to the game. I am not a LOF but Harden should do something

 

Amen.

 

worst coach in the league.

 

Rox are trash from 3. Need to penetrate more and feed Dwight, he was getting a little rythym in the post in the second Q. The Rox make it far too hard on the offensive end these days. The only player I feel confident about shooting any 3s right now are AB and Parsons.

 

I'm rather impressed it's still just a 12 point game. If we were 7-15 from three instead of 3-15, it would be a tie game

 

I browse realgm every now and then and even the posters there talk bad about CF and how they always trash their players.

couldn't be further from the truth.

 

Hey lets crucify our starters because we are getting blown out by a massive 12 points at half time against a well rested WC leader OKC after our team is playing there 4th game in 5 nights where our starters have played 35+ min per game....u guys are a classic

 

At least the Rockets are trying..I enjoyed when Howard knocked Perkins on the floor. That ahole deserves every bit of punishment, wouldn't even let Joakim Noah into the locker room to meet up with his OKC friend, he's a douche. I bet if Joakim Noah came into the Rockets locker room, Howard would probably high five, hug him and give him a rolex watch.

 

as long as don't lose by 30 like vs IND, I'll be okay with that.

we've lost our 3pt shooting for a number of games now, and our bench. nice to see our bench (Garcia and Casspi) having some life tonight. Harden has no touch so he's trying to go in, but Ibaka so far has his number.

Asik getting back or at least having a decent back-up center should be our #1 agenda. That would hopefully shore up the bench so our starters don't need to log so many minutes just to get a win over non-contending teams.

 

Injuries? Fatigue?

 

Entire team is shooting horrible tonight.
Harden seems to always struggle a bit against his former team.

Down 12 seems fortunate.

 

Look at McHale's pathetic face rolling his eyes on the bench. It's always someone else fault.

 

Harden is -12, your point?

 

Rocket has this game....Jones', Harden's, and Lin's shots should be falling in the 2nd half. 12 points is not too hard to make it up. Give the starters some break...as it was a grueling game last night.

 

Not to make any excuses for Lin's poor play out there, but considering that this is the last game of 4 in 5 nights, and the fact that his conditioning/stamina is likely still quite bad at this point due to his recent return from injury, the hate in this thread right is pretty excessive.

Give our guys some support.

 

Considering we're shooting only 33% from the field, 20% from three and 54% from the FT line while the Thunder are shooting 56% from the field, I think it could be a lot worse than being down only 12.
Unfortunately though, the FT drama continues. If it was just Howard missing FT, I'd be fine with it. But Harden, Lin and Casspi each have missed one. You can't do that on the road against an elite team.

 

Look on the bright side, we only had 1 to in that first half. This game is very winnable if our starters hit their shots in the 2nd half and OKC not shooting 56% lol.

 

It's about this game not 3 games ago smh
