ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/24/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 5)

You've been on this forum long enough, you should know that is always the excuse.

 

When the coach tells you to launch 55 threes without a game plan this is the result.

 

Sorry to say it - but this team played a really bad half of basketball. I mean, really, really bad. GSW should be up by a lot right now. Thankfully everyone not named KD has played terrible.

 

45 points by the Warriors in a half

That's probably tied I think for one of their lowest of the season.

 

5 vs 8 gonna be a long night...

 

Stop holding the ball so long. Get into the offense quicker. Attack, attack, attack! The three's will start falling eventually. Defense has been great!

 

Wasted effort in this first half, we literally let them come back when they were close to drown

 

They are getting touch calls being gifted points....not calling it both ways

 

From their pregame huddle it sounded like they didn’t want to look biased with all the emotion in the building, so they’re over compensating and hardly calling anything for the Rockets which isn’t right.

Now it’s the 3rd quarter.......

 

This is ugly and they are playing mindless.

 

That first half was a giant blown opportunity for the Rockets because Harden and CP3 couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. 4/20, 0/11 from long range.

If the Rockets lose this game and the series, the 1st half of game 5 is what we will all look back on.

 

We have to start hitting threes, especially Harden and Paul

 

Lucky to be tied at the half in some ways, we have had everything we wanted, open looks but just can't hit the shots

 

Please just run some plays. This iso garbage isn’t working.

 

Stay calm...

man some of you guys trashing our players is just absurd

 

Yes...they have. They are playing arguably the best team ever constructed, and they are tied 2-2 with a chance to take the lead in the series. Let's not destroy what they've done in the previous games over one dang half.

 

Seriously questioning why is Harden going passive when he play iso. Ball movement ball movement. Ball Movement!!
Gotta play like we are behind a game, and fight it out Harden.

I'm calm but there so many things we can do much better... esp when West was on him. Took multiple threes out of isos. Pass it to someone else if you feel a cold streak or attack basket and draw the D in and pass it out to someone else.

 

Well after watching that last 7 minutes or so it’s not surprising this game is tied. Sounds about right.

 

James has to keep driving. The paint is wide open. Shooting step back contested 3s is letting the defense off the hook. Chris paul is no where to be found, missing everything.

 

Welp
