ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 11/6/2009

Good game. Nice win. Get 3 days off before they head off to Dallas! Time to go beat up on the ponies.

 

Good win tonight. Good to see Budinger and Landry getting productive minutes. That will help us later in the season.

Man, you guys are really critical of AB and Ariza if they make any mistakes. Gheez. TOs are part of the game. We had a good lead nothing to worry about. You guys should already know those two are being asked to play outside of their comfort zones this year. So there will be some growing pains along the way. Cut'em a lil slack.

 

Thankyou adthe.net for letting me finally watch the game. After its finished! Can't beleive the admin blocked my link for the second half.

 

I guess Clutch is late.

 

Good win. Love how its somebody different stepping up on this team every game. The Landry/Scola/Hayes trio, Battier/Budinger/Ariza trio, and Lowry/Brooks all seem completely interchangable.

 

So true. Both have been playing exceedingly well so far into the season. What more can you ask of them?

 

great game. loved every part of it. everyone did well, well maybe except brooks at the end

 

keep doing ur thing boys!

 

Was the Thunder even trying at the end?

I would hate to be one of their fans.

 

BALLS

 

clutch is at the game give the man some slack

 

100% unacceptable.

 

Plus I don't think he bothers making post-game recap threads for games like these when the game thread itself is small. It's happened before.

 

Now...never too early to start rooting against the Spurs...looks like age is finally catching up to these guys

Probably speaking too soon...but man they just don't look like the Spurs last night and not good so far tonight.

 

Ok, ok. Just saying. Not rushing him.

 

neato stat of the night: Lowry with 4 blocks!

 

yeah it looked like that to me too.
you'd think they'd pressure the ball more at least. they just let us go to work; similar to the way they played us pretty much all game

 

only watched half of the game, shiatty link.

but from what i saw, this team is really complete. Budinger played like very smart and looked so composed, is it too early to say hes the real deal.

but i do have a problem with brooks getting the ball top of the key and ends up giving it to ariza who dribbles to no where and most likely turns it over. IMO If its possible, Ariza should never get the ball top of the key, he should be slashing and waiting for spot up jumpers. This is the time where i really miss tmac cuz our other shooting guard(battier) cant do anything on offence except spot up threes

 

Good win. The Thunder are a talented team that's still trying to find their footing. They're one of those dangerous teams that probably won't end up being very good record-wise but they will upset some title contenders along the way on days they put it together.

You can always expect Durant to get his so I'm not too alarmed with his 27. That's only 2 points more than his avg. last season. My only gripe I guess is that we let Westbrook go off a little. He had 33.

 

On the other hand, 21/5/6 for Ariza... Those are All-star stats. Maybe we're asking too much of him. The only regret that I have with how we're playing this season is that we're steering away from a lotto pick... Aww...
