ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 10/3/2017 (Preseason Game 1)

Get Paul back in the game so we can extend the lead.

 

Melo will be here next year

 

Melo is shotting well but he's literally playing by himself, ala Beasley...that's not gonna work going forward, and also not gonna happen when Westbrook is on the floor lol

 

I agree because Harden and CP3 don't care if he goes off. Westbrook going to want his. PG13 going to want his. When is Melo going to get his? They're trying to say he is a 3rd option, but he is taking all the shots making PG13 look like a guy.

 

No doubt about this. Stupid lazy turnovers from Harden should be reduce by two this season. I still expect harden to be about 3-4 tpg. He is just too careless with his passes. Amazing how Paul threads the needle.

 

looks like another one of those 3/11 3PT nights for harden.

 

PJ Tucker is T H I C C

 

^This is the problem with having multiple star players on one team. And that is also why Golden state is the best team (although i hate them, i have to admit it) they are somehow making it work with multiple stars. CP3 is making Harden look like "a guy" this game so far and also is Anthony with George.

 

I see the same thing.

I see little crucial movement in their offense either, I don't think our defense is this good, just a lot isolation.

It's preseason sure, but with Melo and Westbrook I just don't see the fit.

 

I think preseason is important!

 

We look pretty rusty imo but our offense and talent is still pretty overpowering so this is just a glimpse because we are pretty sloppy.

Same goes for defense but it already looks much better in terms of rotations, effort and communication

 

whats with Harden's offense, just feels so limited lately even going back to late last season. I think he can shoot some mid range if nothing else is falling

 

I kinda agree, i was hyped how we did last year preseason and that translated to the reg. season. It's obviously no big deal but u can take a lot away from it imo.

 

Melo would be destroying ish here.... Gawd... I cant wait til he gets here.

 

19 and 11 for our backcourt at halftime

27 of our 40 shots are from 3 lol...we've made 12, and OKC's made 5...most teams won't be able to keep up

 

Damn we should have traded for Melo smh

 

CP3 is better at getting around screens, off ball defense, and playing passing lanes. On ball 1 on 1 def is not as significant anymore with how much PnR is played

 

was late for the party, where's westbrick at?

 

Harden looks frustrated, but his statline is impressive, especially because I thought CP3 was out-shining him.

Harden and CP3 both have impressive statlines..
