ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 4/5/2015

If we go 5-1 in the last 6 games, I hope this is the loss because it is a non-division game and it would also mean we'd have a 5-game win streak going into the playoffs.

 

Get the W for sure, but also make sure WB doesn't have a triple double:grin:

 

"inefficiently. 12-28" does not compute

but of course... pass da red poupon

Thank GOD we are alive ok keep dem heads eatin at ur kitchen <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PYNYb2FNAvw" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="165" width="210"></iframe>

 

Easy win!

 

Over the last 9 games Westbrook is shooting 36%, and averaging 6 TO's. Gave Ariza and Johnson some time on him. Keep him contained and this should be easy.

Who am I kidding, nothing is ever easy for us.

 

Thunder haven't looked good at all tonight... that's for sure.

 

Makes too much sense for McFail to start Brewer, sooo I'm going to predict he starts Prigioni which will enable WestBrook to win the scoring title this game... Probably 40/10/10... Hopefully we pull out the W... I'm kinda afraid of that Kanter kid... He's an offensive monster for the Thunder

 

Was hoping the Thunder would beat Memphis.

A loss this game might put them out of the playoffs. They will be extremely desperate.

It will be tough.

 

Losing this game would be an embarassment. Rockets need to handle up.

 

Rockes should win this no Ibaka and Durant can't let Kanter and Adams win the rebounding

 

At least Durant shouldn't be on the bench in a suit talkin crap to D12. I hate that b*stard. I hate WB. I hate OK fkn C


Rox win.

 

After another crap shooting performance by Westbrook, Harden is now the league's leading scorer.

1) Harden 27.506
2) Westbrook 27.459

 

You must be fun at parties... and you're right. Why have an offensive spark that creates shots come off the bench instead of putting him in a starting lineup that already has arguably the league's best at creating shots. McFail may have lost his respect in the eyes of some fans but good lord... some don't know when to just leave it alone.

 

how are pple in pacific time zones supposed to watch these games? 930am vs wizards, now 10am vs thunder. take into account what conference the team is in, not just division.

 

The Rockets always make it tough in games they have no business losing. I predict another one of those, but hopefully they get it done.

 

It would also help keep the Peli's out of the playoffs too.

I mean I still want this win no doubt but just saying...yeah if we were to only lose one more game let this be the one.

 

It's time for the Rockets to rain on the Thunder. If James Harden scores more than Westbrook, that's a nice bonus, nothing more. Every game is a must-win game from here on out, in my opinion. That Raptor's loss is still bugging me. We can't have any more of those. Given the choice of the Spurs or the Mavs in the 1st round, I would much rather open the playoffs with Dallas. Let San Antonio and Memphis beat each other up in the first round and then face us, after we've taken care of Dallas in 5. That's the scenario I'm hoping for. That and some healthy players.

 

I like the way you think. This is exactly what the Rockets should be thinking. The team desperately needs a first round victory. Another first round exit would be devastating, depressing, and really bad. Once past the first round, I actually like our chances.

 

This game makes me nervous. Lose to Dallas and now lose to Memphis. Do or die possibly for OKC.

 

I'm nervous too, but the Rockets have a lot on the line in this one themselves. OKC's next opponent is the Spurs, so they've got incentive to win this one. But our next two opponents are the Spurs, so that goes double for us.

If the Rockets can win this one, they'll be in great shape for at least 56 wins. I'd be very surprised if they dropped any of their last three games against New Orleans, at Charlotte, and against Utah.
