ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/16/2014

The marketing department of the NBA should spin this and credit the defense on both sides.

Too bad it involved Houston.

 

is Garcia getting burn from the showcase trade? HA HA HA

 

We shot 35% from 2 point range.

 

I feel worse after this win than I did after the Philly win. I think it's partly due to the fact that we have to play in Memphis tomorrow and I do not think it's going to be pretty.

I'm happy with being 10-2 (we have the Lakers right after them). Just keep winning he games we should win.

 

I would actually feel better if Howard and Harden suddenly develop "a nagging injury" and flew back to Houston tomorrow. Gotta think long term. Sacrifice a game and get especially Harden some rest.

 

OKc and Memphis are the 2 teams that really give D12 trouble damn man

 

Also wouldn't be shocked if PB is suspended or fined for that crap with the ref other then that great to see him back and pissing ppl off haha!

 

Sure, both teams have intel on how the other plays (Harden used to play on OKC, Martin/Lamb used to play on the Rockets). But I guess it is easier to make fun of the Rockets than it is to investigate why one the highest scoring teams in the league only scored 69 points in a game. The refs let them beat up Howard and the Rockets.

 

They're just mad because we took Harden from them

 

Yeah let's just burn this game tape and pretend this game never happened.

I thought we teleported into the Van Gundy era watching that third quarter.

And I'd love him on the Rockets, I have a lot of respect for Adams.

He is physical and dares you to punch him in the face and when you do punch him he'll act as if it never happened and will gladly take it for the team.

You want guys like this on your team.

 

... Survive with D

(Defense that is. Get your mind out of the gutter)

 

i was enjoying the van gundy defense. both teams couldnt get going on offense so nor worries. we had the shot blocked 15 times! that was ridiculous.

 

why would there be a suspension? No crap was pulled. The ref even called a tech on Telfair for what he did to Bev prior to Bev getting in the refs face. Bev was simply leaning in because he couldn't hear what the ref was saying. To be honest, it was Brooks who escalated the situation by storming off the bench. Brooks says he thought Bev was getting in an altercation with the ref so he thought he had to act... that's dumb. who protects refs?

Rockets had an equally ridiculous number of second chance points and offensive rebounds.
