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

Better than the last game and he is fighting over the screen.

 

Same haha. I'm just glad that half is over. Second half will hopefully bring a better vibe.

 

Only down by 12 with OKC shooting very well. The Rockets can win this game, need to attack the rim the second half and stop with the 3s until the fourth quarter.

 

Well, Fisher has only made one shot - a 3 when Lin went under the screen. But blame Brooks. Hell, blame Beverley. I think Jackson's points have been about evenly dispersed. Support Lin, we all should. But don't lie about who is scoring on whom.

 

Exactly , it's getting really annoying , people nonstop b****ing like it's end of the world , smh

 

What knee-jerk thread will be created after this game that's the last game in a 4 games in 5 nights stretch?

 

These people can't be basketball fans. They just want to troll. How can anyone who knows anything about basketball pretend that the schedule isn't what it has been and the effect that's had on the team?

 

judging by the tone of some of the comments I thought we were down by 50 points.

 

Stop the freaking hate. Everyone on this team sucks tonight thanks to the schedule.
4 games in 5 days is brutal to say the least. And we're playing a contender in OKC on the second night of back to back.

We are lucky as we are only down 12. Lower the expectation dudes.

 

He has none. With that logic might as well put in Casspi and Garcia for Harden and Parsons. Because those guys have better +/-.

 

hasn't been at his best. italian stallion jackson scored 6 on him, lamb 3 and fisher 3. that's 12 points to lins 3 points. lin and harden have to pick it up in the third.

 

Ok. If you write it, it must be true.

 

I swear, to everyone is as if it were the end of the world. We have played so many freaking games and McHale has been running our players to the ground. He refuses to trust any of other players so we have a short rotation. You guys need to get a grip. The fact that we are still in the game is amazing. It's clear out there that our players are damn tired. I don't care if they are well-conditioned professionals, they are human too and fatigue is playing a huge factor in how they are playing out there.

This isn't the type of schedule you see in the playoffs, so stop acting as if we are some sort of pretender. Real sick of all the dumb complaining.

 

Dagnammit, I'm gonna shot my TV! Seriously, thanks to everyone who keep reminding us that this is our 4th in 5 against a rested squad. Go Rockets, I believe!

 

Asik is fakin his injury..trade him for Ryan Anderson already..Geesh!!

 

12 point game....not too bad considering how crappy we are playing.

Lets go rockets!

 

That Fisher 3 was contested.

 

Why are we loosing?

 

Lets think of it this way guys.. since the Thunder started on a13-0 run and the rockets were horrendous shooting the ball they have won the rest of the game by one point. They are tired and no legs in the three pointers. If they can keep up the defensive intensity they still have a shot at pulling this one out.

 

Regarding the schedule, Houston has 8 back to backs so far and OKC has had only 3.
