ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/14/2024 (Vegas)

Rockets are infamous for bad shooting since they had missed 27 shots in a row from downtown in most important games of playoffs.

This organization never solve the shooting problem.

The ****ing Warriors already got plenty of champions because of good shooting.

 

Totally fair! But missing WIDE OPEN shots is a theme for this team that I love so much. Until we fix that one way or another, it’s not gonna get better. No one is gonna sag off the paint until someone gives them a reason to…and our team just doesn’t give them a reason to. But holy **** they play so hard in spite of all that…I love this squad so much.

 

Curious if our poor shooting si related to the amount of energy we spend on d

 

James Harden with 34 pts in 1st half....

I blame Ime again who selected Fred over Harden. Fred has the worst shooting now. Ime is ****ing short sighted.

 

IMO, this is where players like Cam could help out most. 12-15 minutes of him off the bench with the Terror Twins sounds balanced. You could even slide Reed in there at point.

 

Well dam!! Did the Rockets just give up on basketball after the loss? Did they just run into their rooms and slammed the door?

 

Well at least I get my petty solace in seeing the Thunder get blown out in the championship cup game.

 

SGA and OKC looked exhausted by the end of our game against them and they look lifeless now. I'm going to give the Rockets some credit for this Bucks win.

 

It depends on how both teams fare in a 7 games matchups because the NBA is still a game of 7s and 4 wins out of 7.

The Bucks have fired their coach due to their incompetence to win enough in the Playoffs other than that lone Championship.

Generally the Rockets and Thunder cannot shoot 15-29% from 3 point land.....then they win nothing.

 

OKC and HOU demonstrate what happens when you can’t shoot.

The Thunder's 5-32 from 3 (15%) matches the Rockets' 3PT % in Game 7 of 2018.

 

The Thunder were among the best teams shooting 3s one year ago, people forget that. And that was with GIddey, a shaky non shooter..

They do lack experienced shooters ....ironically the Worriers had Melton who got injured and was traded away, Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters, Steph Curry.

They lack talented allround guys .....
