Clutchfans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 8/29/2020 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Kushner is a fool.

I’ll be glad when we hear the game schedule. I’ve complained about how stressful the last couple of games have been, for one reason or another (good reasons!), but I’m ready for the next epic contest. The extra time off means more for the Rockets than it does for the Thunder, in my opinion. Westbrook is very likely to be ready. Probably on a minutes restriction, but I’ll take Russ anyway we can get him.

 

Jared Kushner vs Jamele Hill.... im not sure how much you'd have to pay me to care what either of them think.

Everyone has an opinion and thinks they're gonna reach out and change someone's mind. Social media has punted that idea right out of modern life. People are pretty immune to words now. The constant screeching of a Jamele Hill has a woman-who-cried-wolf effect. In a world where Q Anon exists people still want to have social media dialogue?

Change is a grassroots thing. We touch the hearts of the people we touch. We can get involved in shaping policy and influencing decisions first at the neighborhood and city level. People scoff at local politics and want to fixate on a president. Thats backwards. It all starts at home and police brutality is the best example. Cops are 90% controlled by local charters and state legislatures. Thats where all this dialogue could be best focused. The Kenosha Police report to Kenosha City Hall. Thats where policy change can happen. And police are not a monolithic entity in the US. They are local. Know what's furling tensions in your neighborhood. Know who writes the rules for your police. Go to city council meetings.

Theres huge power in leading by example in the aocial media age and letting the words take second place. The moral grandstanding is not only empty but its what drives indifferent people or people not already part of the movement to be more polarized. This is true for most movements, whether its feminism, make America Great again, or BLM. When you're done yelling, think about what we can actually do, and let's do that.

 

Google has the game scheduled for the noon, is this official or ?

that, or have his Galveston goons pay them a visit...if we’re getting this sort of treatment against little ol’ OKC, imagine the levels of corruption we’d see against the Lakers

 

I have to say this really takes momentum away from OKC. Distancing from the last 2 games and WB being back, with whats happened inbetween it kinda feels like starting over, which is in the Rockets advantage from where we were. Hope our guys wake up, because we were a few total minutes away from a sweep considering how the end of each game played out.

 

Lol they were the clear underdogs.

They already succeeded this season no matter what with no real superstars.

Momentum is fleeting but gave some of us a scare.

is this the character from Breaking Bad?

 

Ehrmanntraut.

 

Nah…nate got fired after an contract extension just one week b4

 

Saw that too. I can't find that time anywhere else though. No MULTIPLE SAUCES yet.

 

does it say what time?

 

ESPN's online schedule says 5:30 pm today. TNT has Bucks vs. Magic in that time slot. I looked ahead and TNT shows no Rockets game Friday or Saturday. Games TBA for Sunday. Nothing showing on ATSW either. So who knows?

 

Is Russ playing?

 

@1:27 Woj says Saturday is when games from Wed will be played.

 

Looking at Yahoo Sports NBA front page right now and it says Friday 11am for Game 5.

I’m so confused...

 

That's what Google says for search on "Houston Rockets"

 

This should work out to benefit the Rockets. It gave Westbrook another couple of days rest and a 5 on 5 scrimmage before the game. Seriously hoping that the Rockets can win the next 2 and get this series over with.
