ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 3/26/2017

You guys are all Donald f**king Trump, who only think that anything saying on the media are nothing but the truth only because it's Fox and he likes them kissing his ass. But when his name was mentioned on CNN, it must be the fake news.

You are just the same attention w**** as him.

 

You do realize it got as close as 8 in the fourth, right? Harden played 36min, same as he would any night. Unless it's a 30pt lead or a 20+ against a tanking team, they're doing the right thing sending him back out there.

 

This team did not play well even after a three days off.

MDA can't not and should not rest anyone until the playoffs starts, otherwise the whole f**king team will just spend their times on the strip clubs rather than be on the court.

 

Yeah but it was as close as 8 AFTER James came back in . You do realize this is an important distinction right ?

We were up 20 when they decided to put him in .

After he came in the thunder went on an 8-0 run .

The game is super volatile when examined in small intervals ( i.e. We can play better but miss shots and they make )

My point is that putting James in didn't help us "hold" the lead or expand it .

Yes you should have James in if the game gets closer ... But at 20 points ITS NOT !!!

Sure he played 36 , I would have rather he played 30 .

 

You do realize we shot 63% and 51% from 3, right?

 

Mike: Best thing about James - not the best, he does so many good things - he understood that Gordon, Trevor, Lou were going off. He could have gotten 40. He knew they were going. He plays the game the way it should be played. We're 3-1 against them. You figure it out. You guys gotta figure it out, not us.

Beverley: You guys talk about that. We don't. We talk about winning championships. In order to do that, you have to do it collectively. Over here at the Houston Rockets, we're focused on winning games, playing the right way, the small things, details to the game. We have no control over who gets it.

 

That's how u do it. Beard is mvp!

 

We were winning by like 20 - 25 almost the entire game and they never got closer than like 8pts (that with like 90 seconds left).

Take a chill pill.

 

Great to see Lou, Ariza, and Gordon step up BIG time. This will give them, and the rest of team a lot of confidence going forward into the playoffs. I'm pleasantly surprised, and very happy that we won.

Get better quickly James. We need you at your best.

 

MDA should say this a lot more frequently.

 

This should've been a 30 point win. I hate it when we take our foot off the gas because we're up 20+. They came out in the 2nd half and played lackadaisical. When Harden and Ariza came in at the 6 minutes mark in the 4th, the energy was very poor. It's was like," hey we got this one wrapped up". So the silly turnovers started and the horrific defensive effort becomes the norm. Coach has to tell them it's not over until the clock strikes 0:00 in the 4th. My thing is Harden and Ariza really didn't have to come back into the game. That unit we had out their was clicking on all cylinders. So why kill that momentum coach.

But hey we won and Westbrook with another game in which he was only out their in the end to padding his stats.

 

Harden controlled the pace of the game beautifully. A true MVP performance. I do worry about his wrist, and the impact on his shooting percentage. Praying for his health, and success.

 

It's a ClutchFans policy to keep politics out of the GARM.
