Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 8/24/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

I thought they would beat us in 5 if Russ didn't play, for it to be 2-2 is amazing, but we really need Russ back next game and playing like he did the last 30 games of the season

 

Then him having 40 minutes and someone else doing it should not matter . ..

Where can I download the game?

Rocket River

 

okc is not that good.

the rockets have having an all time poor coaching performance, combined with blatantly bias officiating.

 

Maybe if the Rockets drove to the basket instead of chucking 35 ft 3s...

 

this team’s stupidity was on a level so bad, that at this moment, I don’t even want to watch game 5

if I do, I’m switching everything up...no CF...no electronics...no tea...just me in a darkly lit room

 

Rivers contributing nothing on offense. Needed him to step up with WB out.

7 for 24 FG. 29%
3 for 13 3pt. 23%

 

The guy failed with an efficient 32 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals. How the hell is that failing?

Luka? You're really comparing Luka's support to Harden's? Harden is carrying a G-League team. Luka has great offensive support. There's a reason why people considering to have the best offensive team in the league. Stop it.

 

spills the tea.......

 

Interesting...Harden not wearing a mask in the post press conference for the first time. He also has a slight scowl on his face...hmmm

 

It is not that we lost... and it is how we lost. Blowing a 15 point lead does not win fans over.

 

Has anyone seen Austin Rivers and tell him that the Playoffs have started. he has had 1 decent game in the series. With Westbrook out, this is his chance to step up

 

@Kendrick Lamar the bet’s been paid bro, I put in $30

 

leads mean nothing unless you have the lead that counts....the one at the end of the game

 

I think my blood pressure is up, Im sweating. Going to drink some alcohol. Im allowing the Rockets, Astros and Texans to slowly kill me. FML

 

that 15 point lead was shaky from the very beginning. We literally hit 8 threes IN A ROW. We were clearly hot and went on a run. The game came down to the wire and you shouldn't have been surprised. We lost by three... without Russ. Pick your head up dust yourself off and play g5. series tied 2-2 big ****in deal.

 

i think i never seen a defender figure Harden as much as Dort has. Its actually really impressive, but its really slowing James down. Not even kwahi . I have never seen him play before, i wonder if he is this good of a defender against anytime, or theres something on james games that works really well with his skills.
Terrible loss, i think the team looks tired. Live by the 3, die by the 3 i guess.

 

You can quote his stats over and over - that doesn't change the fact that he continued his horrible decision making in the final moments.

Who on Dallas would start on this team? You stop it.

 

It's not even about the score, it's about the details we fail to deliver on the court year after year under the same leadership off and on the court

 

The fact that Harden is getting blamed for this loss is amazing. Have you seen who Harden is playing with? His supporting cast is playing inconsistent as hell.

Covington, Tucker, Rivers, Gordon and even McLemore (on MDA for not playing him at times) are literally not adding anything to offensive end in this series. I know Gordon had a good game tonight, but he's been pretty poor in the whole series so far. McLemore is barely out there. Covington finally shot well tonight, but he has been struggling in the whole bubble. Rivers hasn't done anything since that one night. The only players who have turned up in the whole series are Harden, House and Green. You cannot win a series with just 3 guys.

This is why we need Westbrook back. It takes the load off Harden's back. You can tell Harden's getting tired really quickly because his teammates are not offering anything on the offensive end, unless it's from Harden's plays.

 

Once I step back (no pun intended) and realize that none of this matters, I start to feel a little better.

I was good without basketball, this sh-t adds unnecessary anxiety to the routine and these dudes don't even know me or know I'm cheering so hard for them.

I wish Basketball didn't come back, I was so productive.
