ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/17/2008

Durant looks far better than McGrady. He's also defending McGrady while McGrady is getting owned by Jeff Green.

 

he might say it loud mid season. don't wanna do this job anymore.

 

New fan, Durant doesn't do this well against the Rockets. Battier shuts him down ever time.

 

taking in consideration the great defense that AB played against chris paul the other night, rafer's days as a backup point guard should be right around the corner.

 

Tom Heinson has been around since Larry Bird Celtics era. He has the right to be bias. The guy is a celtics fanatic!

 

Somebody fill me in. Why has Yao only taken 4 shots?

 

I don't know who it was but one of them still said that it was goaltending. The other guy had to point out that it's not goaltending if the defender blocks it into the glass.

For an announcer that should of been pretty easy to know.

 

durant will be like t-mac in orlando in a few years...they have similiar build...a very rare breed in nba --- super big shooting guard

 

wat hapepend to defense? howd the other team score that much on us? i thought they had nothing on us.

kd got shut down by shane last year, ron cant do it i dunno why but maybe cuz the team doesnt need to try that hard, but still itd be nice to shut down kd but o well. hes at home and his moms prolly watchin so we should take it easy right now but december we better stop w/ thsi bs

 

double team, he made good passes out of double team

 

Yeah but he takes being bias to another level. He made a big deal about Artest putting his face in Pierces face while he was shooting.

Hell a lot of defenders do that but he said it was illegal and made it seem like Ron was the only player to ever do it.

 

Overrall , the team is playing well against a team they should. Hopefully they can widen the gap and get the starters some rest.

 

only because rafer did it and only because houston fans watched it..

 

I've been watchin this game since the begining and I have no idea man. Sometimes I swear it looks like we don't wanna play.

 

Durant is young and healthy.

T-mac is unhealthy and been in the league a long time.

This should not come as a surprise.

 

Durant has the potential to be better than McGrady. He's taller, longer, quicker, has better handles and is a better shooter. He is already a solid shotblocker and has quick hands. If he has the discipline to become a smart defensive player and adds another 15 lbs of muscle or so, he will be right up there with the best young players in the league (LeBron, CP3, etc...).

 

well, Artest is considered awesome on D because he can guard bigs as well as guards.

Obviously Battier is better at guarding guards but he can't guard bigs that well.

so its basically a trade-off.

But Durant is just shooting ridiculous right now. I doubt anyone could really guard him this game.

 

Well, both (bill and bull) thought it was goal-tending right after the play happened, but after 2 replays or so, they said that it was the right call and it wasnt goal tending.

My bad if that was the OKC commentators.


But, did anyone else hear bill or matt say that battier is going to start practicing with the team tomorrow? Or was that francis who is going too. Or did I just hallucinate and imagine they said that?

 

T-Mac is 29. Kobe is 30.

T-Mac is always unhealthy, beyond just the knee issue.

29 is supposed to be your prime.

I imagine Durant will be a far better player when he has been in the league as long as McGrady has.
