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

Wow, I had no idea.

It would be incredible if Rockets and Celtics won their series -- just huge lols.

 

First it was a chest contusion, muscle bruise, bone bruise, bruised ribs and now a deep bone bruise.

What is a deep bone bruise?

I'm worried the rockets medical staff don't actually know what's wrong and how to treat it.

 

Bone bruises are pretty bad:

Thing is, I'm wondering if the contusion got worse and became a bone bruise after he tried to play on it and got twacked on the injury by Durant...

 

Really?

 

Lol that has been posted many times on the thread already, it's freaking hilarious.

 

This has probably already been pointed out here, but on the ESPN box score Ohlbrecht has 0 minutes played but his +/- is -13. He had a terrible night.

Royce White has a -2. I guess that means he conceived two more kids?

 

A great win and we have a chance to make history.

I don't care who played or who didn't play.

Just win 2 more.

 

:grin:

 

Chris Webber is the best man.

Asik>Dwight if we had Dwight there is no way he would hit his free throws I hope Morey takes note of this, this core wants to stick together just get them a beast PF.

McHale needs to get alot of credit and so does the coaching staff, they stick with their strengths and they adjusted the whole series after game 1 we could have won this series earlier if it wasnt for inexperience and bad late game choices.



Also we are doing a great job on Durant, we just need to contain one of their PG's and Fisher. Thabo and Ibaka are the ones that are going to have to beat us.

 

Rockets for life!

 

Every time I see it, I hear the sound of bowling pins getting knocked over :grin:

 

impossible to say since it is unknown how many games will be played that day.

 

Very proud of this great team win. Game 6 should be a blast and I hope our guys will come out firing once again. OKC is still a great team so I hope our guys remembers that andnot be too confident! woooo!

 

dang looks like i missed another good one...we are 1 flukey durant 3 from a 3-2 lead...oh well might as well make history...really good to see harden back to his first-half self...good lord asik with another beast game, but who would have thought he would have killed it from the line? parsons was a little off but his consistency will improve with time, looks like solid games from bev, brooks and even garcia to a lesser extent...hope lin is healthy for the next game... even the celtics are making noise...how crazy would it be if 2 teams came back from 0-3?

ive already said this but man, i was COMPLETELY wrong about westbrook...i thought he was hurting durant and the team, but the thunder are a completely different team without him..they WAXED us in game 1 but now they are lucky to be up 3-2...durant said hes tired of being 2nd, well get used to it, because the gap between durant and lebron is much wider than i thought

go rockets

ehh both dont deal with adversity well. Especially Asik, if things dont go well early it usually doensnt turn around and get benched. He is less maintenance than D12 though and obviously less costly.

At least Asik will take his beating like a man and not leave his teammates out to dry by dq'ing himself.

 

Random notes from the game.

Watching pre-game activity, would have bet that Lin was going to play.
Assumed Delfino was going to go off, since he couldn't miss.
I should go to Vegas.

After the game, went back to my office to avoid traffic. Going back to the parking garage, ran into Jimmy Goldstein at the door. Just gave a big head nod. What are you supposed to say to Jimmy Goldstein?

 

Huge difference this game was our back court play. Webber at one point in the game said 'the backcourt for the Rockets is so much quicker than the Thunder' and he's right - we we had AB, Beverly, and Harden on the floor, we have three players that can create their own offense and demand double teams.

AB has a history of owning DFish going back to the LA series, and despite his shortcomings in other areas of play, AB can be lethal offensively and is very quick. I loved that McHale went with that lineup for so long and I hope he sticks to it next game as I think we're at our biggest advantage when we're able to run with those three.

 

Fantastic fun watching this game!

Noticed a trend after game 3 so there was a lot of hope for these past two games and MAN, f*** me standing, they're maintaining it!

Let’s keep it going!

PS, got a great wife. As I crawled into bed she rolls over and asked sleepily, "did we win?" "Yes dear". She smiles, pats me on my shoulder and falls back to sleep with a grin on her face.

 

I wonder if Harden is feeling any better after being sick...
