ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 12/1/2024

Dillon has been our most consistent player so far. I think he only had a couple bad games this season.

 

I want to shout out Jabari after a horrible start out boy has kicked it up a notch and been really good the past 5 games or so. Even last game he made almost all his shots just didnt get passed the ball.

Jalen Green though..smh. I like that he is a great team player and was genuinely happy for FVV but he aint getting paid 30M to be the next Boban. He needs to pick it up on both sides of the ball.

Sheppard continues to misfire he straight up bricking wide open looks now smh. Nobody should say he is the "pure" shooter of the draft anymore that's just a bad joke now. I dunno maybe its Sullivan's fault at this rate. Rockets shouldnt draft or trade for a shooter next time he will lose his shooting touch almost guaranteed after joining the team..

 

15-6

nice

 

Sometimes you
Sometimes me
Always us

 

I’m not disputing that. I was facetiously referring to his 3pt shooting which has been a weakness most of his career. And considering the Rockets guards low 3pt% he would fit right in.

 

Playing like a team wins games

 

Great win. So Happy

Just finished on dvr.

 

That shot by Dillon was amazing.

 

For us to win after trying to mess it up on several fronts is beautiful. No need to go through it all this time, but collapsing with 3 guys on 1 to let them have wide open threes on at least 5-10 occasions was maddening. Referees were calling it tight and we allowed it to get to us as well so very impressed we still came up with a win. Also because that 4th quarter offense was again tight, ugly and this time FVV our go-to guy and he delivered. Glad he’s shown up lately!! Brooks is the man too and Sengun did enough again to will us to win. Jabari has been stepping up for sure. Only Tari & Amen weren’t really on point and Ime has to stop with the Adams love, play Jock. That’s it, enjoy it people.

 

Loved Jalen in the corner jumping up and down in the corner willing the shot to go in. He maybe be inconsistent, but I'll give him credit for being consistent cheering his team mates.

 

Superb win, but let's face it, we won the game on two broken games: FVV's 3 from the logo as shot clock expired and Dillon's basket from Alpi's ass(on-the-floor)ist... Luck favors the good, but we need crunch time "go-to" plays that work consistently...

 

thats the goto play, Alpi just slipped that was an accident or extreme bad luck

I would like a Thunder broadcast replay of that entire last minute.

Someone please report the Thunder announcer @Os Trigonum

 

long time lurker only sporadic commenter but i really don't understand why reed isn't in the d-league putting up videogame numbers while cam plays more with the rockets as we try to figure out the surefire guard rotation. if/when we make the playoffs i doubt reed will contribute much we should be planning as astutely as we can for the future and i think cam could play a big role if we develop him correctly
