ClutchFans Game Thread: Thunder @ Rockets 4/25/2017 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Probably should be noted that if we do win the title, Harden will have gone through Roberson, Leonard, Thompson, and Lebron defensively. And probably averaged 30. That's earning it. And that's digging in against the best of the best.

 

I salute the Rockets for trying to get fans to the arena early.

Travis Scott, Mad Max, shirts (of course) and others?

I see Houston blowing this game out at the start, Anderson will hit 5/8 threes.

 

Jamel hill said $1 beer is horrible idea but like we've done it a lot of big games this year

 

Bro thing is a lot of the time rockets start slow at home games is cuz fans arrive late if fans are yelling at tip it will have a tremendous impact at tip

 

Andre Iguodala as well

 

Worked during Superbowl week

 

I really think Anderson and Arizona are key. Barrage of 3's that go in to deflate them. Give OKC credit though. They are not letting us get good looks. They have devised a defense that gives up the drive so they stay at home on shooters then collapse right as driver commits. That can be weakened if Anderson can create that gravity Bull talks about by hitting a few 27-28 footers. Make OKC adjust. That have not had to do so.

I am worried that we will come out flat again. We took a punch from them in game 4 and pulled it out. Rox better not think they can simply give half ass effort and turn it on in the 2nd half. I want them thirsty and out for blood. Don't give them room. Quick. Someone photoshop Westbrook teabaging Harden's mom or something to fire the team up

 

I'll be there! Looking forward to it.

 

You can thank our terrible starters for giving the Thunder a lead in every single game.

let's send these potatoes to fishing tmr!

 

We have performed well when our backs are against the wall (chasing large deficits due to slow starts; got a win in the road) in this series. Now can they deliver when they are expected to finish the job in the next home game? Different kind of pressure. But we just can't have the series go back to OKC. Westbrook is just a wildcard that can explode anytime to bring his team a win.

 

Play like this is OUR elimination game.

 

that's nothing, the Patriots won the Super Bowl and NEVER had the lead

 

This isn't getting enough attention.

 

It probably should be noted that we are nowhere NEAR a title as of yet

 

2 games closer than we were last year which means absolutely squat.

 

Calling it now -- tomorrow is a wrap. We are sending them fishing. Harden is a gawd at the Toyota center, the bench brigade are going to continue with their brilliant play. Capela will find his redemption at home.
