ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 5/1/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

PRetty dangerous isn't it? OKC could just pretend they're about to foul Asik, Harden shoots it... and turnovver. Which kind of happened.

 

Oh my god. This is too funny.

 

From Lin Jimm.

Did Brooks hurt his hamstring?

 

What's up with Kevin Martin this series? Remember when people said he would give as much production as Harden for OKC?

This matchup is sooooo strange in some ways. 1st seed vs 8th seed, young teams, Harden vs OKC, Martin vs Rockets, etc.

There isn't really a more exciting matchup, IMO -- even though Rockets were expected to be swept.

 

Not sure which would be worse... an actual injury to AB, or that he's so turned on that he can barely restrain himself.

 

Prolly still a little tipsy from earlier.....but am i crazy for curious to see harden,lin,brooks,bev,and parsons small ball lol ? The other team would kill us on the other end though xD

 

According to Jason, Lin has a deep bone bruise if I heard him right on Rocketscast.

 

Is Brooks harden by Lin?

 

Westbrook is the reason

Westbrook not playing is the main reason. He was the soul of OKC attack. His speed and penetration used to break down defenses, making it easy for their big men to dunk or their 3 pt shooters to score. Durant also didn't have to work so hard. You can tell Durant ran out of gas in the 4th quarter with zero point. Without Westbrook, OKC is a bit lost now and Houston took advantage with a big win. Our guys played hard and smart. But the main thing is the 3 pt shots were falling. If Jeremy had played tonight, the score should even be higher. He would have made the ball movement even better. We had seen those great ball-movement games when Houston laid waste to even some of the great teams which now are in playoff - Knicks, Bulls, Grizzlies, Warriors, and now OKC too. Come to think of it, doesn't matter what Houston will do next, they already win my admiration. If they had been luckier, they would have won those close games and should be 4-1 now against OKC. This young team has a bright future indeed. They already exceed all expectation. Cheer to team. Go get OKC in 7 and make history.

 

Remember when they said Thunder knows the true face of Harden:grin:

 

While searching for some Harden meme's on reddit's front page I found this: The double flop

I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler patted Jeremy's butt when he passed by.

 

Hate hate hate hate hate

 

Can't believe, people say Westbrook is taking shots from Durant, otherwise OKC would be better. Now we find out he is actually the leader.

 

OKC was apparently 9 point favorites to win tonight...hahaha...suck it.

 

if it goes to game 7, does anybody know what time tip off might be on SUNDAY? thanks!

 

Can't people just root for the team rather than hating one of their own players?

Oh wait, maybe Lin isn't one of the own afterall, he's an outcast.

 

Still can't believe before tonight's games, there have only been 12 teams that have forced a game 6 after trailing 3-0 in a 7 game series. You would think it would've happened more.

 

And betting that the Rockets are the youngest of the 12.:grin:
