ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/7/2018

Harden makes Westbrook like he is the best defensive player of NBA.

CP3 is smarter than Harden. He wont turnover like Harden again and again.

 

Better now than 2 weeks from now, that's for sure.

 

What where some extremely valid points on a one game loss that you can draw conclusions from for the playoffs?

 

They can look good for 1-2 games then look like the worst team in the league which is what I expect for them in the playoffs

 

DD, sloppy play started a few games ago, once players found out they had secure home-court throughout the playoffs, even including the eastern conference. Councidence???

I think not, human nature.

We will be fine.

 

that death stare is real lol

 

PJ probably asked him why the f*ck you weigh as much as me but move twice as slow.

 

Weak effort for the squad. They’re ready for the playoffs.

 

Calm down

Harden also makes wb look like the fake mvp n s straight up chucker

 

Oh great because the teams we’ll be playing WON’T play as hard as the Thunder tonight....

Westbrook literally clowned Harden in the last 5 minutes

 

the only thing that upsets me about the loss is.....we had a chance to put the Thunder in 9th place today

 

The first time we played the Thunder this year Capela had 19 pts, 10 rebounds and 2 steals. Tonight we didn't use him to our advantage. The alley oops basically disappeared after the first quarter. Those are our bread and butter shots with Harden throwing high to Capela. It didn't help with Johnson and Nene getting only 4 pts total, and CP3, Green, and Ariza shooting well below their average from behind the arc. Add in some sloppy turnovers, and you could say we gave it away. We will have some help from behind the arc when Ryan and Eric return, and hopefully get back to throwing our season ave. of 3's again.

 

The points being made are interconnected points on recent play that is consistently poor in the last 2 weeks.

It's not just drawn from "one game."

 

Honestly, a few other teams would have beat us tonight the way we were shooting. We weren't playing our usual style of game, and looked sloppy at times.

 

1. It was a close loss against a desperate team and we were without our 3rd leading scorer
2. No injuries
3. Less chance OKC gets 8th and more chance they get 7th seed to face a Curry-less Warriors.

Not a bad night.

 

Consistently poor... hmmm.... how many losses have we had in the last 2 weeks? Winning is all that matters. Every play isnt gonna be the right play or called correctly. Check the score sheet on W vs L on the past 2 weeks before you utter "consistently poor"...

 

the first time they played the thunder he had 19 points and 10 rebounds. the 2nd time he had 10 points and 3 rebounds. tonight he had 10 points and 7 rebounds.

which means he's averaging less than 7 rebounds per game against the thunder. seems like they're figuring him out.

it's not about not using him to their advantage but adams being a good defender. adams does a great job of being deep enough to not give capela space for those lobs while still being able contest the drive.

 

Eric Gordon didn't play. Calm the **** down

 

I love nene but he needs to play a little Bit better as well. Having said that some of the fouls he picked up were quiet bogus. One George elbows him in the middle of the chest and the second one where he went to get a loose ball and George is the one intitiating the contact.

The NBA needs the Blunder in the playoffs so the officiating refelected that
