ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 11/17/2010

Won't be pretty, OKC has everything we want....

A superstar that can score when the game is on the line.
A PG that is not undersized and can run the offense, score and play D.
Athletic F that can score and play D.
Athletic bigs that control the paint and swats shots, while being able to finish strong at the other end.
Instant firepower off the bench.


AND they are all young, not fair!!!!

 

And they put it together in a relatively short time. The Rockets can find their butt with both hands in fifteen years.

 

Their GM is smarter than our's.

 

okc...a young, fast, athletic and long team that plays great team basketball. We are in trouble.

But non the less...have faith...rox by 2.....106-104.

 

We went from a team that was bad enough to get the #1 pick in Yao to a championship contender with 2 stars in Yao and T-mac in a few years. They just couldn't stay healthy, or we would have had a championship or two already. The Thunder would be in our situation right now too if Durant and Westbrook kept getting injured.

 

Great...a back to back...

Rox: 83

OKC: 99

 

I will be up in "Loud City"... hopefully the Rox will quiet it down :grin:

 

Wesbrook is playing at an all-star level right now. He is at the same level as Steve Francis was during his prime in Houston and Orlando. 22 ppg, 7.5 ast, and 6 rbg.

The only thing that Prime-Francis had over him was 3-point shooting. But I would argue that Westbrook does everything else a little better.

Bottom line: Look out for Westbrook, he is the real deal.

 

Double digit loss....15 +

More kneejerk threads to come.

No way OKC will lose to a team with a record like ours

 

He doesn't suck, but he's another victim of people on this website overvaluing our players. Many people believed that he was better than Ariza and some are still convinced that he's the superior player when he's not.

More expensive calculators and better math equations? :grin:

In all seriousness, Houston has had more than its fair share of injury problems. Nevertheless, you can't keep using injuries as an excuse. Both JVG (ex Knicks) and Adelman (ex Kings) have had a penchant for bringing in their type of guys. Also, OKC has not traded lottery picks for role players. They acquired their role players like Sefeloosha by trading away a low 1st round pick that they had acquired in the past. They haven't been afraid to draft based on athleticism and potential (See Westbrook and Ibaka). Similar to the Rockets, they've made some shrewd moves. They were also lucky in the sense that they acquired a franchise player in the draft.

 

LOL westbrook and durant are going to absolutely destroy us tonight. our only hope is martin and scola can have big games... jeff green might be out so that will help.

 

ummmm,how bout we give Taylor some minutes tonight?!!Why not ,it wont hurt.The guy has worked hard this summer and if you do plan on trading him then it just may raise his stock.But the rockets can win if they slow the game down a not try to ruN with those youNg Legs of the Thunder.....IT IS WRITTEN.

 

TANK, TANK, TANK..... LOL

 

Fify.

 

3-8....
Rocket lose Rose->Rocket lose Durant???

 

Oklahomo city Blunder

 

If we win tonight, I'm gonna feel a lot better after last night.. But thats a big if..

 

any veetle links available for tonights game?

 

I wish our team was built around young, exciting and talented players.

 

lets make this a big win for the Rox!!
