Post-Game Analysis: Thunder 118, Rockets 112

fml.

Good effort in the end though.
CLee was clutch in that key run :grin:

 

Don't ever expect Adelman to be smart late in the game.

 

I don't blame Adelman. Thunder were missing some free throws early on.

 

I'd like a closer, please.

 

OKC is better than us, plain and simple. We played a good game though.

 

I have no hope for this team to do anything positive for the rest of the season but beat up on other lottery teams.

Best of the worst...yay.

 

Didn't see the game. Pros and Cons please.

 

Patterson isnt grabbing boards like he used to. Also, I would like to see him demand the ball down low. We need someone with a solid back to the basket game.

He needs to be more aggressive.

 

No, the Thunder backed off and gave him the layups.

 

No. It is the best plan.

 

i thought that was the correct decision.
we made quick 2s. and had them earn it from freethrow line.
they just weren't missing.

 

The reason we never win close games in the 4th quarter is because we don't have a superstar caliber player who can take control of the game like Durant or Westbrook can. And do give me that bullsh!t that Martin didn't play tonight because we beat Boston without him.

It's time to face the fact that we are just not that good of a team. We HAVE to get a superstar to be a contending team. Morey better pull something off to get a great player because if we stay with the team we have, we're screwed nasty.

 

I hate it when we lose games like these. We put in the heart in the final seconds...damn. Another thing..HORRIBLE reffing in the 3rd quarter.

 

Adelman is not very smart indeed. In fact I questioned the lineup of Brooks, Lowry, Scola, Lee and Battier to close the game. WTF?


We were in a hole down 13 and he takes out Patterson and Bud for that? This coach has some serious decision making issues. I for one would not mind to see him go after this year.

 

with one timeout left.... you gotta take that 3

 

Fixed it.

 

It's hard to watch the Rox when you know with or without lead, there will be that dry spell. Even when they up by 30...it's not a sure thing. God bless us Rocket fans.

 

6 made free throws in a row at the end of a game it's pretty remarkable. We only needed ONE miss; the Thunder hit all six against all odds, I would still take chances like that any day.

 

what a fool.

 

1st, i dont want to hear anyone saying "good effort, proud of this team."

The rockets always jack up 3s when the game is well out of reach and start draining them because the pressure isn't on and the games almost over, everynow and then like tonight they will find themselves back in the game doing this but it's always too little too late. The last few defensive possession at the end were good, now why the hell they can't do that the rest of the game and instead allow easy layups and dunks in the lane?

Please, no good effort proud of this team crap tonight, it's fools gold. Those last few 3s that got us back in the game was a result of them jacking something up and hoping for the best, not a desire and will to win the game.

Lowry does this alot too, shoots a last second 3 just for the hell of it and drains it, when we need it, when the game is on the line, it's always a horrible miss.
