ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 4/9/2019

We struggle against teams with length and athleticism....OKC is a 50/50 opponent in the playoffs, and Milwaukee is probably a tough one for us to beat.....

Length and athleticism is something we lack, especially at the PF spot.....

DD

 

Unless harden wins a title the harden era rockets will be known for being mentally weak and choke artist it sucks but as of right now can’t even argue it

 

This is just flat out untrue, Faried should only be used in stretches and he is not better than Tucker.

 

We need @DreamShook to give positive vibes towards Eric Gordon for this playoff run.

 

I'm more worried of what this loss will do for our confidence for the playoffs. We haven't had a loss where we've blow a big lead like this in a while, especially in the 4th quarter. Like, we was so comfortable for the first 40 minutes or so.... then we just blew it big time.

 

I don’t believe it. Horrible take and post. Faried is genuinely one of the lowest IQ defenders who will be in the postseason and his DEFENSIVE(not offensive) rebounding is horrific. He’s not physical, doesn’t box out, and is never in a good position to grab one.

 

The only time the rockets were favored to win it all was when they were up 3-2. And that was just slightly. Once it became 3-3 it was back to GS’s favor. Other than that they never had better odds than GS

 

Never say never. Some team might beat them for us. In some extent, you are right that we either lose warriors in Final or second round. But anything could happen in WC Final so I rather play them in Final.

 

Faried in 24 minutes per game gets you 8.2 rebounds and 12.9 points.... and with a 59% from the FG. Tucker in 34.2 per game offers you 5.8 rebounds and 7.3 points..... with a 39% from the FG.

Tell me which player offers you more from games?

 

You could also reverse the angle and say.

All GMs are created equal, why couldn't the Rockets build a dynasty like that?

It's not that GSW is the hub like LA where they just have to attract superstars to come.

 

This loss stings but I don't fear the Thunder and this game further reinforces that feeling. We've dominated them in the last 3 meetings and they won the last 2 by making some BS late push and barely squeaking by. They can't sustain that in a 7 game series.

 

But, it's not in the playoffs. The Rockets can beat anybody. Line them up. We'll be fine.

 

Lol we just got knocked out vs okc and you say wcf gon be easy lool

 

These are the posts I hate. It matters WHEN you make them. Your entire season and pride is on the line you make that shot. Its a ****ing free throw my godddam 10 year old can make that.

 

Faried cant shoot the three so he cant play unless hes a C, also you are completely not taking into account Tucker's ability to defend 1-5, number 2 in defense since All Star and Tucker is one of the largest reasons, not Faried. I like him alot though i really do.

 

Can Tucker shoot though? can he? I dont see it when it matters.

 

tough loss.

 

This should have been a happy ending..

Without Ariza, Lillard kill shot memories come back.

 

Aflac will be coughing up a lot of money after this.
