ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/14/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 1)

Because one was a trade while the other was a free agent signing.

 

I think they missed it. I rewinded 3 times during that timeout and it looked like Curry or Thompson tipped it.

 

“Klay, tell us why the Warriors are so good...”

 

Durant and Klay were red hot.

 

Draymond freakin complains after everything my god. I watched a replay of where he set a screen at mid court on Ariza and they whistled him for an offensive foul. He clearly leaned in instead of merely standing his ground which was the right call.

 

Clint Capela needs to be in offense more, Center is the Warriors weakness they made Clint a Priority to defend him.

 

Again: they are DUMBASSES! Why do you care what they have to say?

 

We been leaving Klay wide open for 4 years now. It don't matter if its a preseason game. The Rockets refuse to guard him.

 

I'm done with TNT audio/pre/half/post for rest of series.

I'm serious.

Very very serious.

 

Good, fans are booing him

 

Chuck with his brainded "Klay is the best SG in the NBA."

All the dude does is take open shots, 0 pressure on him to ever have good games. I wouldn't even take him over Derozan if I were building a team.

 

I don’t think they would’ve even had one of our players on the post game panel if we won.

 

Lol I don’t. Just had it on in the background while typing away on Clutchfans, and heard Clay Thompson on after D’Antoni’s post game

 

True.

He would be the first guy I would find in transition.

One of the threes Gerald gave up was leaving Klay to run out on Iguodala.... I was dismayed.

 

Durant is going to get his no matter what.

Almost all of klays 3s were wide open looks.

 

Durant is, but we leave Klay wide open few times

 

only way we will win is in a shootout

 

They need to play not one, not two, not three, but FOUR perfect games.. Yeah not happening

 

Rockets missed too many shots they can't afford to miss and made too many mistakes they can't afford to make. Too much of the game they looked like a reversion to McHale's teams with Harden killing himself to do everything and everyone else standing around watching him. I know they play iso but guys can still cut and stuff while doing that, right? On defense the Warriors got anything they wanted every time - Durant calmly shooting over the Rockets midget brigade, Klay getting wide open for 3's, and Curry not even having to work hard and just jogging in for lay-ups when he felt like it.

Just can't beat a team like the Warriors doing that stuff. The Rockets are a very good team but unfortunately in the playoffs they've looked like a team that peaked in midseason. Going to have to really bust their asses to win game 2 and hopefully make a real series out of it but they were just manhandled in this one. Gordon and Luc especially need to step up - Gordon needs to settle down and play with some poise and Luc needs to get past his injury and start wrecking teams again.

 

im gonna need a new max kellerman thread to cheer me up tomorrow....
