ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/4/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 3)

Win this game, and like someone else on this site said, you are in the same position as last year after 3 games at 2-1. The only thing though is that we have to get this game. ( For goodness sake Houston, get loud in the arena and give us an actual home court advantage)

 

Get Well, Jimmy.

GO ROCKETS!!

 

What's funny is I wouldn't do this, I would actually put Paul and EG coming off the bench at this point, and have Faried/Rivers start.

Harden and Paul together are turnover monsters, and neither seem to be their offensive best with both on the floor.

Capela
Faried
Tucker
Harden
Rivers

Nene
House
Green
Gordon
CP3

The starting lineup has defense, size and rebounding, with the best offensive player on the planet who can create for others. What were doing now isn't working for protecting the ball and getting the loose ones. We can mix and match as we go on, but above is what I'd try.

The bench has energy and scoring against a rather limited Warriors bench.

Will it happen? No.

I'd like to see it tried tho.

 

Problem is, they're not really playing their bench that much. Hampton 5 is logging heavy minutes. You need your best 5 against that team or they will destroy any combination of our lineup we put out there.

 

After a thorough review and intensive analysis, I have determined that if the Warriors win this game, then the Rockets will be down 0-3 in the series.

 

Play with force.
Rebound the basketball.
Play fast (not in a hurry) on offense. Be decisive.
Limit your turnovers.
Role players hit shots at home.

 

OMG Harden's eyes are all bloody. I would be skipping work if I got these red eyes. Yet Harden will be expected to compete and beat the best team of all time with 4 all stars. The irony.

 

well according to some genius cf's: hes faking it, its just drops, it just looks similar to my eyes after i smoke, no big deal.

 

Whoever is going to the game, show up and give em hell.

 

**** 2015 i hated that wcf

 

I posted this in another thread, but I'd genuinely like to see film of our rebounding and how much of it is not boxing out and how much we are just getting beat by length.

 

Perhaps, but I'm not convinced that our best individual players are our best 5. MDA sometimes go to lineups that throw logic out the window, and matchups/chemistry mean everything to change up. We need our guys to step up either way, because our best 5 players won't beat theirs.

 

The problem last game was the rockets came out looking defeated. Bad bad sign

 

I get really tired of seeing them walk the ball up the court crossing center court at about the 17/16 second mark of the shot clock. I think they need to push a little more as the Warriors are setting their D.

Push the pace and take this game. I have no doubt that the Rockets can still win the series, they just need to go take it.

 

Go Houston Rockets!

 

almost like they knew the rig was inevitable. can't blame them with foster & malloy in the house

 

This is eerily similar to 2015 where the first 2 games where close and then game 3 was a blowout.

I predict another blowout on the horizon.

 

Our defense has definitely been above average, anybody who’s watched a lot of basketball can see that.

THOSE DAMN OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS ARE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF US!!!

 

Yes and to take it a step further, according to my calculations it will be 2-1 if we win!

 

If CP still play like average NBA player, and Capela still talk much do less, We absolutely will get 0-3 and bye this season.
