ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/16/2016

I love James Harden but he's got a long way to go if he ever wants to win a ring or MVP award.

He can be infuriating at times but then again I think Houston has created some of the problems. He never should have been allowed to not put effort into the defensive end, or not move without the ball. His ISO **** to end the game is really tiresome too. He doesn't seem as clutch as he was a few years again. These problems should hav been nipped his first year here.

 

Don't know what's more embarrassing, getting dunked on by a 37 year old in his 20th season or dunked on in a clutch situation after not being able to secure a defensive rebound.

There are a lot of times where I miss Dwight's presence in the paint. Opponents treat Capela like a child and have no fear of taking it strong at the rim against him.

 

It was legislated out after the Malice at the Palace

 

Look at that Russel Westbrook is OUT OF BOUNDS when he receives that ball, he has one foot established in bounds and the other still off the floor and out of bounds.

Refs blew it.

DD

 

Hard to tell from the video but if u pause at 5 seconds it looks like both feet are on the court when he catches the pass

 

Another 4th Q meltdown.

Rockets played great overall though considering Harden and Gordon shot like C Hustle betting against his team.

Wish Herrell and KJ got more PT, although Ennis was pretty good.

Glad about Bev's return is tomorrow. Hopefully he can give 15+ solid minutes. THREE and D

 

Unfortunately looks like the correct call

Man... in the end it just sucks to know that all we had to do was score 16pts in the final quarter to win the game.

:-/

 

Wow

Westbrook's dunk on the radio seemed great, but seeing it now, it wasn't much

FIRST - The dunk itself wasn't much. Zero height or extension

SECOND - Capella was recovering (!80) from guarding an inbounds.


Nice play by Russell, but not an "ohhhhhhhh" play

 

definitely not a dunk of the season type play, but what really gave the dunk the "ohhhhhhhhh" effect is the fact that it is at the end of a damn close game to really put the drive the nail in....anyway...hope we come back stong

The dunk is Russell Westbrook in a nut shell. It's an oh no oh no oh no oh yes play. It's not worth the rest of what you receive from Westbrook as your first option. especially considering anyone who breathed on him tonight was automatically whistled for a foul and he had like 8 chances to score on that last pos.

it's close. But it's hard to tell from that angle the tube in a report should be interesting tomorrow

 

Clippers choked nearly as bad as we did lol

 

Thank God for Marc Gasol and his choice of celebrations

 

Damn, if only Ariza stayed in the corner to receive that pass...

 

Stop trolling. He was coming off a 33 points 9 assists and 7 boards game where he had 23 in the first quarter alone.

 

This!!!!

The rockets gave that game away. They didn't want it.

 

They blew the Michael Finley out of bounds in 2005 Play Offs... What do you expect?

 

He will brick it anyway
