ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/16/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 2)

Thicc took over and laid the big D on those biatches

 

give the ball to Paul - and everything will be.

 

Ernie looking like he smoke only the best

 

Rockets whipped that ass! I love it!!!

 

chill out.

 

So i was pleasantly wrong. Who cares! Nice win. BTW, nothing wrong with making predictions even if you’re wrong. Dont be such a tight ass.

 

-We had a 14 point lead at halftime, and then won the 3rd quarter 31-29.

-We outscored GS 12-7 to start the 2nd quarter with KD off the floor. We were outscored 7-3 to start the 4th with KD off the floor, but it was ok because we still had a large cushion.

-After having 18 fastbreak points in game 1, GS had just 7. We did a great job of getting back. We also had 12 fastbreak points after having just 3 in game 1.

-The pace was faster, the ball moved more, and we didn’t rely on ISO nearly as much as we did in game 1. Curry on Harden or CP3 is still a great matchup for us and something we should continue to seek out. Curry might get a concussion the way CP3 been dropping him this series.

-Our role players stepped up big time. Ariza had 19, Tuck had 22, and Gordon had 27. After having just 21 bench points in game 1, we had 36 in game 2.

-We kept a body on Klay. He only got off 4 threes after shooting 15 of them in game 1. I don’t recall him having more than maybe 1 or 2 good looks. We continued to do a good job on Curry who was just 7-19 from the field and 1-8 from 3.

Great game tonight.

 

I hope not, tonight was prime example the iso will never beat these guys, you have to run the ball and keep it moving to keep them on their heels, everyone needs to play like its their last game from now on if we win this we will get the chip.

 

Steven lmao

 

Where's our player on post game ?

 

I don't think he was that disappointing. GSW is loading up to stop Capela lobs. His hustle and defense were fine IMO.

Luc is the most disappointing player by far.

 

Mike: (on CP3) Every suggestion...I've heard he's tough on players. No he's not tough on players. He's coming from a good place. If you got a problem with Chris, you really gotta look in the mirror. He's not saying give me the ball or let me do it, I need to shoot more or I need my touches, I need more minutes. He's all about winning. If you can't handle that, look in the mirror real hard.

 

He's one of the fan police. No fun at all.

 

Great game! But the rockets did make subtle strategic changes like not running pick and roll nearly as much. When Dantoni says nothing changed other than playing harder he's being a but disingenuous. That said these are the playoffs if you aren't making adjustments game to game you aren't winning.

 

Thank you for the recap brother. I just gotta ask....are you encouraged after game 2 with them going up to Oracle?

 

now split one in Golden State . Thats key. Game 3 is very winnable now with the momentum we have. Key is Gordon and Tucker playing well and Harden and Paul playing well with pace .
