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

Austin Rivers has scored 36 pts in 7 games since his "40" point outburst

 

reading back through this thread is hilarious.

literally everyone could see what was happening during the game but D'antoni

 

Trying to enjoy something besides reading while indoors staying safe is all. I always hope this year's Rockets won't disappoint. Still hoping.

 

Rivers basically contribute nothing this playoffs.

Dude can't make any shots.

 

He only had the ball in his hands a few times to be fair.

 

I would happily take the Mavs offensive players over the Rockets. Take Luka out of that Mavs team and they would still be a good team. Take out Harden and the Rockets would lose 90% of their games. There's the difference right there.

 

you know what doesn't take as much legs to shoot? mid range jumpers.

 

Same thing the past 4-5 years...you can't jack-up a bunch of threes if you don't have shooters on your team.

I know it's what the analytics prefers and but if you have non-shooters jacking up shots it basically defies the logic.

 

Rivers is just like EG; he needs touches to get in a rhythm, he is a scorer not a shooter.

 

If you are really watching the game, you should know why James Harden is disappointed.

 

Lol, no they wouldn't, they would suck hard. Luka drives that Mavs engine.

 

In game Antoni is really weird.

He seems in constant fight with them refs, understandable, in constant disbelief and rage.

After the game, he puts on his positivity mask or clueless mask.

 

Jeff Green was bound to cool off at some point

 

the analytics calls for 3's, LAYUPS, and FREE THROWS not JUST 3's.

the problem with this organization is they keep getting too 3 point happy and it takes away from the other 2 aspects, and they get extremely one dimensional.

only the rockets have games with such variance on shooting because they go games where that's all they do,

 

He is like that angry man at the bus stop angry because the bus is 1 minute late

 

The Rockets were outplayed and outcoached when it counted.

 

this is absolutely true. but without zebra intervention this would have been a 25pt blowout for HOU before "it counted"

 

If Westbrook was playing we would have rolled them...

 

I’d still have rather seen him than EG late in the 4th

 

i'm seeing donovan mitchell and jamal murray have better games than harden has ever had. this sucks.
