Clutchfans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 9/2/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

Both Game 7s were gross.

I'll take it. Harden won the series with defense. He still played like **** but media darlings Mitchell and Murray also played bad in their Game 7s.

 

Harden with the Nipsey quote in the interview!!!

 

Was anyone else as scared as I was when Covington got his 5th foul? Man, there were so many nerve shattering moments that I couldn't enjoy it until it was over. Then, it was like....
Wooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

Great win. Great series. The Rockets won with defense. You have to be able to win that way to win a title. A note to Harden haters. I personally thought he played a really good game. Many will look at his stats and say he choked. I disagree. He played good team ball on both sides and fought till the end. He had the clutch play of the game but it happened on D. The thunders plan was to take the ball out of his hands. If John Stockton had the same game and stats in a game 7 everyone would be talking about how amazing and unselfish he was

 

Hell yeah

 

How many times did Covington Fall down in the last 5 minutes. Love what he did tonight, but he was on the floor under the basket while the rest of the was playing 4 on 5 defense for most of the end game.

 

Harden should of did the Mutombo finger wag

 

this is why you can never be too low on westbrook. he maybe a dumbass but he's going to always bring it with his back against the wall.

 

This felt like it was gonna be like the Mavs 04 series and the Portland series all wrapped into one.
Mavs we went up 2, lost 2, 1-1-1 (blowwwwwwout)
Portland we were expected to win series, we went up with just seconds to go and then...

 

great win!
i'm very happy for the players and for MDA.

It was too hard

we should have win the game 3
and today they have nothing to loose.
thay shoot like hell (50% for 3 points)
every time we take the lead they hit one.
Dort looks like Lebron today

and still we win

GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!

 

Let's be honest here, we deserved to go through. We blew them out in 3 games, and the other 4 games we should have won... but we lost 3 of them due to being dumb.

Yet again they had more free throws than us. They had more free throws than us in every single game. How the hell is teams like the Bucks getting 25 plus free throws and we're barely getting 18. The Bucks had 39 free throws tonight!

 

What did he say exactly I must of missed it.

 

watching chris paul's post game interview

 

Eric Gordon, PJ Tucker, and Robert Covington won that game for us. Each was huge. Gordon both on offense and defense, especially late on D, made crucial plays and locked up CP3 who had been otherwise exception. PJ Tucker connecting on the floater that put us ahead by 1 was the deciding basket and not an easy shot at all. Covington played amazing at both ends, and made 3's all game. Jeff Green played huge as well in the minutes he got.

Great win, let's see how we fare against an L.A. team that we can beat.

 

The refs did everything they could to give this game to OKC. Un****ingbelievable. Missed gimme by CP. Missed FT. Get the ball back... I mean WTF.

I'm happy, but they need to call the games AS IS. Quit ****ing favoring teams. INTEGRITY is why sports is great. Not this BULLSHIT they're doing. ****ing refs.

 

Schroder 5/17. glad, that dude was so annoying

 

I won the this game for us
I stopped watching before half time
only peeking in . . .we'd lose a few points on the lead
and i turned the tv . . .and they stabilized


Rocket River

 

Paul: sOmE pEoPlE aRe BuIlT fOr It!!

 

Harden will be better and Lakers dont have a guard like OKC to stay in front of him.
