ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/28/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Yeah, we SURELY missed Rivers this game.
Shump makes bad defensive decisions (like leaving Green and coming to help underneath
and leaving Green an open run to the basket)
Also, can't shoot for beans.
Bad on both sides of the ball.
Austin get well soon!

 

Everyone coming to Rockets defense, time to strike is now! If Rockets organisation and players don’t speak up or make them hear us by going straight dirty then they need to shut up forever.

 

Look on the bright side: Cuban went from screaming, "**** you! Your league is rigged!" during the 2006 Finals, to hoisting the Larry O'Brien five years later.

As aggravating as this is, it doesn't have to be eternal.

 

play Fareid at PF not center.. plus Faried will help in rebounding and will provide extra energy.

 

I thought the refs couldn’t possibly miss anything as bad as this in favor of the Warriors. I was wrong.

 

HUGE lost opportunity.

 

James and CP up right now.

Someone will have the clip but James starts out saying "I just want a fair shot..."

I feel bad for these guys.

 

Capela needs to sack up.

 

To be fair to Harden, he was getting fouled all night. He had at least 4 other 3pt shooting fouls. I'm pretty certain he had 2 fouls where he drove to the paint early on in the game that didn't get given. That's easily him at 9/22, which isn't that bad considering.

 

BLEH I think im just done with basketball.

 

I agree Jay....he's not getting the calls in CRUNCH time I'll assure you,if at all !

 

The worst thing is the warriors are good enough to beat teams without the refs rigging games in their favor.

They literally stole a game from us in a series where you need as much of them as you can when you have the opportunity.

 

harden can shot 33 percent against utah and rocks still can when but no way with the warriors.

 

Yep. Every point matters.

 

So let’s say he gets those calls as he should. 9-24 at worst. He could also have hit 2-3 of those 3’s if it weren’t for the fouls. Also take into account that now, Harden has to legit worry about players being under him when shooting. He shoots that step back so comfortably because he knows how big of an emphasis refs have made about not allowing players to land. So, now he has to constantly worry when shooting that step back three.

Harden could have played better, but I hate how some people are saying “Forget the fouls he should have shot better” and you have the nerve to mention field goal percentage AFTER saying “forget the fouls.” It doesn’t work that way.
