ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 4/21/2017 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

this series going to 7 games.

I don't see anderson showing up for the 3s at all.

 

Harden makes that & we're buying bottle service at the club tonight & no ones complaining about whether he should've driven it or not.

James is our superstar & he's hit game winners before. You live with it. We fought back hard in a game that we probably should've lost by 10+.

We'll be fine.

Rockets in 5.

 

This loss isn't a big deal. I like the Rockets chances to win in Games 4 and 5.

 

Won't hit the panic button but don't like the way Gibson dominated Anderson and the final two possessions, sheesh.

 

yeah..stings a little, that's the way you wanna win it though. Much basketball left to play...everybody go hit the bag and come back for Sunday.

This good enough for you sports media? I think Russ got a triple this game. Call the game a little closer next time and get those little gremlins out there to mop the floor.

 

We should have called a timeout, drew up a play for an easy lob two or something.

 

Looking back, Im ok with Harden taking that last 3

He was tired and inevitably he would have fouled out if this went to voertime.

 

scotty's no-call on when harden got tripped down 2 with 18sec remaining was the storyline for this game. silver gets another game for his highest rated series and slightly less embarressment for the faux mvp selection

 

James had 5 fouls and Bev had already fouled out. A win in OT was no guarantee.

 

IT WAS RIGHT THERE!! oh man.. I was thirsty for it!

 

Thunder aren't winning this series. Ain't worried.

 

no problem with that shot, hes hit those before.

 

STFU Kaminsky you just straight up said Harden is the Most Valuable Player but yet no balls to call it

 

Wasn't pleased at all with the decision making down the stretch.

Out of the timeout that 3 by Harden like 4 feet behind the line was just atrocious.

I know the idea is if you've got the chance go for the win in a hostile environment. But man the Thunder were tightening up the past few minutes and we clearly had them. Russ was feeling the pressure.

I would've loved to see Harden go down hill and tie the game there with their defense scrambling instead of settling for the triple with a defender right on him.

 

that last 3 by Harden wasn't a good look...it was a heavily contested three off the dribble over the length of Roberson

Harden still almost made it tho...that would've crushed OKC's spirit

 

Why in the HELL in several crucial situations down the stretch, down two is the best player in League history at drawing fouls/great finisher...jacking up threes? Horrible decision making/stagnant offense..in the last few minutes. We should have closed this game out.

 

Proud of the fight at the end but that's what happens when you bs around at the start. Why can't professionals be locked in for the whole damn game instead waiting until your back is against the wall?! Get game 4 or this crap is going 7 smh

 

I really enjoy conversing with you guys during the game. That said, that are a handful of flat ass whimps on here who I'd hate to be in a bunker with. Talk about quitters...we going to get blown out by 18, this game is over with half the 4th quarter left...I mean my goodness what losers. I thought they'd score 110 or less but they got 115...so, they got 50 in the 2nd half instead of the 45 I thought. Great game....try to not give up 2 minutes into the game.

 

I can see thunders's souls just died a bit there in the end

 

Even the Spurs lost a game, we're fine.
