ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 1/12/2011

I think we match up fairly well. Lowry s stockiness causes problems for westbrook, when bd urgent dunking on 3 rockets. Battier keeps durant from getting to his spots, but if he gets hot from deep we're in trouble. Or if he gets to the line 8-10 times. Serge and green both struggle to guard scola, so I'm expecting 20-10. Also, I'm interested to see Jordan hill against serge... Should be a good barometer for his progress on both ends of the court.

I was at the last home game against the thunder. Victory with kd missing potential game winner. Should be another close one tonight. We didn't have ab though. Go rockets.

 

PS ill be there tonight as well

 

Me too :grin:

Shinin' in the throwback Olajuwon jersey right behind Daryl Morey.

I can't wait! GO ROCKETS!!! FTW!!!!!

 

I used to be ballin but now im bill gatin

 

any word on k-mart???

 

I'm attending. Our record when I'm in the house? 1-0. So it was against the Timberwolves; I don't care! That was our first win. Those are always the toughest!

 

Martin and Miller to miss tonight.

Sure hope this isn't a precursor to bigger, not so good, news in Martin's case.

 

They should definitely let Jeffries and T-Will play 10+ minutes tonight.

 

Feigen: Chuck Hayes, out tonight, to return to practice tomorrow, then start lobbying to be cleared to play

 

is martin going to be playing?

 

oops sorry, didn't read the posts before mine :grin:

hope twill gets some pt in martin's absence though

 

Will be interesting to see whether or not Jeffries sees the floor tonight.

If history has shown us anything, its that guys in his shoes start seeing the floor more often when being showcased for potential suitors.

 

i think we'll lose this one.

 

His suitors will want his expiring contract, not his skill-set, or lack thereof.

 

Showing that a player still has something left in the tank makes trading for the player more attractive. It happened to Jermaine Taylor earlier this season. It's a nice way to advertise someones value, and given that he's been relegated to the bench the majority of the season, an increase in playing time as we approach the trade deadline might possibly be harbinger to him being dealt.

He might not be as good as the guys he's playing behind, but Jeffries is not a bad player. He's an above average defender and efficient offensive player. I actually think he's a decent player, just stuck in the wrong situation.

 

I think we lose, but in reality ... who cares? We're a bad team that deserves to miss the playoffs. If we do, we'll be stuck in a rut with a bad draft pick. If we make the playoffs somehow, we'll be knocked out early and still get a bad draft pick.

 

Even though in the last game Sefolosha played the role of the random role player who torches us by playing out of his mind, I don’t think he is enough of a threat to not start AB and pull the Guard match-ups in our favor, I’m really looking forward to a win tonight, so let’s keep Westbrook and Durant winless in Houston!. Go Rockets!

 

Whats Martin's injury anyway? Is it serious?

 

Just a sprained wrist. He's day to day.
