ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/8/2024

And people here questioned why I compare our development dept to the Pistons. Everyone just gets worse

 

This loss didn't wreck me. OKC are legit contenders this year. It would be a nice outcome if we beat them, but it is what it is.

If we lose to Detroit tomorrow, then I'm gonna be pissed.

 

Every win is important, especially if we're playing bad teams. We already dropped a couple ones we should've won and all you need to do is take one look at the Western standings right now just so you know how much of a bloodbath it will be this year.

I watched Kings play and they are scratching and clawing their way just to get a win. We gotta do the same every game to stand a chance in the west this year. That is, unless we don't care about making the playoffs.

 

truth is we are lacking quality wins since last year. That is all we are asking for.

Our most important wings have been with the rivals missing players. We dont have a signature win in the Udoka era against a Contender.

Yes we are inconsistent and some of that is expected for our age average, but our ceiling is also a concern.

 

Victories against ny Knicks and Dallas this year quality wins.

 

Are we? We beat the Mavs and the Knicks already and we're not even an 1/8th of the way through the season.

 

That wasn’t fun.

Overall, keep building. Let’s catch a rhythm and keep balling. We’re okay - one blowout loss won’t rattle us.

 

I say send Jabari a message. Send Uncle Jeff into his starting spot. Floor spreading = successful.

 

Agreed.

 

Yes JG played well. OKC has the best group of wing defenders in the entire league. Of course JG play will suffer when he is being marked and nobody else stepped out.

Sengun and Jabari should have made OKC pay for having a stickman and 4 midget lineup but unfortunately they got clowned instead.

Look Nuggets handed OKC their first loss its because Jokic dominated the stickman and 4 midget lineup which our bigs failed to do.

 

Yes, the best wing defenders who are 6'5s and 6'6s.

• If you had McGradys, Tatums, Browns who are all above 6'6 and 6'8s. KD who is 6'11.
• 
  
• They have more problems.
• 
  
• That is also the reason the Celtics have the best odds to win that NBA title again if they have Porzingis healthy.

 

Agreed, it is not midseason but OKC would be nearly unstoppable with Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams healthy.

That is just facts.

I would prefer that the Rockets would have been more competitive in that game but I guess I will take it.

 

Is this reply for me? I never even mentioned Celtics in my post.

 

Rockets finna beat Oklahoma. Mark my words

 

If vanvleet was a rookie he woul;d be benched for half the year right now, double standard.
