Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 8/22/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

Eric Gordon has been, and continues to be, one of the least efficient players in the NBA. There will be no repaying in the later rounds.

 

he has had 1 or 2 hot months each year hes been here.. this is what dantonis hopin for

 

He can hope all he wants, his fundamentals are suspect, he can't handle the ball against top teams, maybe Sactown or Atlanta.

His drives are relentless but without any creativity.

 

yeah,
btw werent his drives a positive contribution in game 1 and 2?

 

Even in the first half of Game 3, his drives were very positive. He was admittedly terrible in the second half last night...

 

Adams didn’t touch it. Tough loss. A lot of big mistakes at the end of the game for the rockets. It’s the playoffs. Going to have to close it out without mistakes. Move onto game 4

 

He played 19 minutes, what were you watching.

RoCo being out not because of his play but bad coaching.

MDA admitted this.

 

Better yet, how's uncle Benjamin$?

 

I think Covington is key to making this defense work. I don't care whether he is hitting on his shots or not, I think he needs to be on the floor in all high-leverage situations, especially defensively. It 's not just the one-on-one defense, he's a ball hawk and he always seems to get in the mix. That House rotation off the three point shot was killer, and should never have happened. House didn't even rotate properly, he was just caught in no man's land.

 

yes i noted that also, i was just making clear cut distinction for the sake of discussion making it easier to the respondent to say yes

 

lololol

 

I remember the first game, yeah, he had a good night, everyone had a good game, team win. Never looked back.

Opponent adjusted.

 

Plus we had been playing PJ and green for a long stretch . Needed to get Roco in on the action more

 

he had a good driving game in game 2 too and the first half of game 3

 

I forgot what this was about.

I said he made mistakes when it mattered, nothing else.

He isn't the 3rd option.

I didn't say his driving game was shet, it's easy to predict and to stop when game planned against.

Esp, when Harden went out, he just bricked and missed layups.

 

If we think EGo is playing bad, imagine if he was putting up PG like stinkers.

 

COACHING FAIL

 

And MDA admitted it.

Everyone makes mistakes, learn from it and move on.

Unless you'd rather have Donovan who is barely staying above water in this series?

 

I'm not... entirely sure what that has to do with my post, but regardless, I don't think I'd call it "charity" work. Nobody is playing for free here. They're playing for the health of the organization that keeps the paychecks flowing. Also, I think, especially now that they're all there, everybody playing wants to win.

 

When are you going to update your signature ?

go rockets!
