I’m not worried at all. It’s just one game I actually feel good after this game because Chet and JDUB balled out tonight!
It’s a loss just move on it’s a pointless game for us honestly
⚡️
Ready for the Playoffs!!
Amen Thompson made two 3s… that's the kinda night Houston had. This almost GUARANTEES 2 STATEMENT wins against the lakers Sunday & Tuesday 😤
Houston literally beat us at our own game just gotta flush it and move on but im glad Chet and Jdub are finding their rhythms on offense, my only cause for concern is that this is the exact recipe to beat the Thunder in a series but idk if playoff teams can consistetly do that 4 times out of 7
As a thunder fan i seen this coming they let them dictate the game with there physicality. They ran with our plan and didn't let there foot off the gass. Just caught them by surprise they really got in their heads but it a learning experience.
It was a bad sign when the Thunder were up 3-0 and Dort turned the ball over because he was trying to do too much. I know that he's improved as a playmaker, but he needs to play within himself. He's not a playmaker. It was all downhill from there for the Thunder.
The defense played well. Rockets just better
I feel good too on this loss,this is a formula to a championship
We need to be prepare now rather than actual playoff games for this scenario..Thunder Up!
Thoughts about a kyrie for jdub trade?
Shai was shooting outside way too much this game. I feel if he had put his head down on some of those three attempts it would have opened up more for the game. Oh well, we look forward not back, Huston is a good team and we will bounce back and dominate the lakers twice and rest our guys and go get a championship!!!
Houston played really well tonight. Not really a game to get frustrated over. We will bounce back Sunday.
🚀's
When you have Jae Sean Tate who shoots 30 percent from three go 3/4 and Amen Thompson who shoots 26 percent go 2/2 from three it was just the Rockets night.
I'm going to say this. It's just the rockets second year with that coach they got that young team is clicking on all cylinders. I've been an NBA fan forever and I'm telling you right now the rockets has a chip on their shoulder and even if they don't get far in the playoffs which I'm not saying they're not and I think they're going to be great. They exceeded expectations. Anybody can be beating on any given night in the NBA people have to start giving the rockets their credit I'm talking about. We came in there and beat these guys from start to finish. We beat them two times. This year we beating the cavaliers three times we've beating Boston we's beating Memphis. I'm talking about with a second year coach with these guys and with these guys having to learn that system the rockets are a problem. People can say what they want. They have the most athletic person in the NBA in. Amen. Thompson I'm talking about when it comes to jumping rebounding playing defense, chasing the best player around all game, quick jumping, and the fastest. I've watched a lot of basketball in my life. He is the most athletic player in the NBA right now and they're doing nothing but growing. More shout out to OKC for playing hard but we just played a little harder and better. Let's go rockets and shout out to every other NBA team
😂😂😂😂
Adams and Gun matchup against Chet and iHart was nice to witness 40-20 from the glass.
OKC will get dropped in the playoffs
The thunder can’t stand tha rain 🌧️ or the rockets 🚀 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Tonight is the night 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good win by the Rockets. Shey needs to get used to not get his ft in playoffs.
Houston need to play like this every game.
OKC need to be careful not to slip before the playoff and lose mumentum.
Go and win out
I need y'all to best he Lakers…… go Rockets
SENGUNNNNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
