ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 2/23/2019

Will say I’m definitely surprised to see how well the Faried/CC combo has worked for us.

 

I don’t care what kind of BS broke back Kerr comes up with.

The rockets are the only team in the league that has consistently challenged the warriors over their 5 year run.

And to make it even better have a winning record against them over the last two seasons.

For some reason we’re still the only team that can beat them in a 7 game series.

I also know seeding doesn’t matter this year the west is just loaded but we still should be favored over every team outside or GS with or without HC advantage.

I still like our matchup with Denver and while okc is tough I def think we can beat them in 6.

I’m never sold on a Westbrook lead team.

As good as PG13 is right now KD was like this every year in okc and they still couldn’t win.

 

Rockets are 3-0 against the Warriors this season! I like it!

 

THANK YOU!!!!!

The first person (apologies if someone said it earlier and I missed) who didn't imply Harden needs to pass the ball more - but rather state that he needs to play faster.

You sir, are a good poster.

 

I come here to revel in the glow of victory and laugh at the Warriors, and people are using this great win to **** on Harden...

 

Great point. When James is back though I doubt MDA makes that move. He is incredibly stubborn

 

It worked good last game against the lakers imo.

I’d keep fareid starting tbh and push EG back to the bench.

This game showed me PJ is not a PF. He can play it but he’s just to small to contest in the paint and grab tough rebounds.

PJ the rebounding SF is legit but at PF his 6 rebounds a game won’t cut it.

 

LOL great stat

 

Agreed 100%.

At least we can have solice in knowing bottom tier teams don't make the Playoffs out West.

 

Yes, I prefer Gordon off the bench. I also would like him to be on the bench at the end of games. For some reason at the end of games Gordon’s brain shuts off.

 

Rockets played well but let’s talk about the refs



Sike!

 

I called...be said I was crazy lmao....also 1st month of the season. Said I number one problem was our rebounding n that if we got another guy that could help clint it would make even our defense better

 

plus both him and faried were able to create their own shots
but you never see it with harden outthere

 

I don't want to be that guy, but if Draymond ever got any kind of karma, he'd suffer a 8-season long injury.

 

Sort of unrelated and I have been out of the loop but, is House coming back or is the roster set?

 

Well he has the ball in his hand virtually every possession, so yes he’ll get his share of assists. You have to look at it more in terms of percentage of time he creates a shot for others versus trying to score himself. That percentage has gone down quite a lot, it looks like.

I suspect that making others feel more involved on offense will sharpen their focus and energy-level and help on the defensive side. We’d be better off if he looked to be more of a facilitator. With a healthy lineup, hopefully we will start seeing more than that.

 

Rockets would have definitely won this game with House Jr.

 

He won’t do it - he only plays for himself.
Slow snail pace up the vourt (wastes 6-7 secs), then dribbles for another 10 secs, makes every play harder than needed in 7 secs.
Mr turnover, by the way, always leads the league in these.

 

Ya that last three was terrible but he’s also hit some really clutch shots for us this year down the stretch.

He’s our 3rd best scorer he has to be on the court in crunch time.

But on the bright side looks like we found our wing defender at the 3... who knew he was already on the roster lol

Now we just need to find a PF lol but faried was great tonight I like him starting with tuck at the 3.

In the off-season faried needs to practice corner threes all summer. If he can get to 35% he’ll make so much money and be the perfect PF for houston.

Full MLE player.
