ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 5/1/2013 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Ugh, wrong paste!

Meant to post this:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Royce White’s biggest contribution this year is going to be tweeting the catalyst for Durant’s 50 next game</p>&mdash; Azaz (@AzazNYK) <a href="https://twitter.com/AzazNYK/status/329819117530005506">May 2, 2013</a></blockquote>

Chandler and Jeremy help each other get dressed all the time.

 

I don't have twitter, but can someone that does call Royce white a doosh on his account?

 

I agree with your post. But I also think that if a player is playing bad, it's fair to criticize him, as long as the player is also praised when he does well. But, what some of these posters do is go beyond criticism of a bad game, and resort to ad-hominem attacks, misrepresentations, and cheap shots.

Both Harden and Lin have had good and bad games. In Lin's case, it is ludicrous to judge him in this series, when he's barely even played. That 1st game was a pitiful performance, but understandable as it was an eye opener for him. He showed signs of adapting to the playoffs in the 1st half of game 2. It's unfortunate that he got hurt, hopefully he gets better soon. Having said that, because he got hurt, Beverley and Brooks got to play, which exposed many of OKC's weaknesses due to mismatches. But to claim that Bevelery and Brooks are better PGs at this point is jumping to conclusions in my opinion. Yes, Bevelery and Brooks are doing great and showing alot of fight, they both have playoff experience and it's showing. But it is because of matchups that is really failing OKC. Their whole lineup's roles have been affected because of Westbrooks' injury.

 

Thank you Asik! One more game!

 

The strategy is and remains to limit Durant and let some else beat you. As the TNT crew says"Let's touch him up." He was clearly frustrated at not getting EVERY call anytime he moved. It's a shame the refs only call a foul for him 90% of the time. The Thunder do NOT like to run....not their game, not comfortable doing it. The indecision when the ball is not in Durant's hand is evident. The HARDER you make this guy work, the more frustrated he becomes. And please, just once someone pile drive fisher into the floor or first row of seats. This guy starts flopping before the player even gets to him and somehow gets a call.

 

Lol nice

Brutal... Royce is such an idiot.

 

Lol, durant pulled a t-mac in his interview. "whatever his name is hit his free throws" (when asked about hack asik)

 

It will be interesting to see is Lin comes back and actually plays. I think we can play all three. Not at the same time obviously. But all three can get minutes

 

I was thinking the same thing. If he's going to flop for fouls, get your money's worth.

 

Wow! If these posts are real, maybe MWP sending Howard a message. You know, the guy who T'ed out of the Playoffs.

 

Dig on Howard?

 

He's sabotaging the Rockets chances for game 6.

 

You know his name now, b****.

 

I'm glad we have Asik instead of Dwight. Dwight will always be a target of Hack-a-Howard. During playoffs, it's not hard to imagine that opponents will continue to use this ghastly trick. Anything to win, that's playoffs.

 

Hack a Dwight works, hack asik.... Not so much anymore.

 

Need this!

 

The next game is definitely gonna be the game of the year for us. At Toyota Center, I hope we bring and show heart cuz without Westbrook, they look vulnerable. They look lost. Durant looks vulnerable and mentally shook.

We got this!!
