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

I wonder if we'll see the Faried-Capela paring. Just pound them on the glass and have 2 alley-oop options.

 

@DreamShook

Whatever it takes!

 

So after the Warriors lose, I'm assuming they will say Steph and Klay weren't 100% due to their ankle tweaks.

 

Possible reverse jinx

 

Bro not a must win.....tiredness is accumulative. So game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. They will get increasingly tired. The only thing that's must win is outer home game. They could win there 2 we win our 2. It's no panic. Dont set urself up for a manufactured must win

 

Run this sh*t back and get it over with in 5 games.

And then wait on the spurs blazers series.

 

Duplicate.

 

What is your take rox in 6 or 7 or GSW winning the series?

 

Klay Thompson has a sore ankle.

 

They won't get increasingly tired thanks to the asinine scheduling by the NBA. Game 2 is Tuesday and Game 3 ain't til Saturday. The Warriors will be rested up by the time the series shifts to Toyota Center. So the Rockets better leave Oracle with no worse than a split. Sure, they can win Game 2, but Game 1 will be a lot easier given how quickly it's being played after Game 6.

 

He wasn't shooting well last game before he rolled his ankle over and neither was Curry. If people start using that excuse it will be no different than us saying Harden has a sore wrist and that's why he is struggling, or if Paul hadn't hurt his hamstring we would have won, or the refs are against us. No excuses.

All teams have injuries, or have players playing through some kind of pain. That's why a deep bench can make or break a team. That's also why winning teams need some good luck on their side injury wise. Blaming refs, blaming injuries, blaming players won't make a difference in the results. The winning team will have happy fans and the losing team will have sad fans. The fans of the winning team will say they are the best, even if the circumstances favored them. It's what we love and hate about sports, and no matter what anyone says we will still be either winners or losers. It's a love hate world that drives me mad but keeps me coming back for more. May the real madness begin.

 

...Cousins is out, Iguodala got older, Durant is thinking about the Knicks, the chemistry overall is not there anymore, they won so much that they don't care enough at this point...Warriors have so many excuses already, they basically can't lose, if they will, media will swim in a sea of excuses

 

Excuses are already pouring in...

Where are the articles on this hype series instead of these pathetic excuse articles, most teams are dealing with some type of injuries as the playoffs progress.

 

Blowout loss

 

Huge eyeroll at these "injuries." So predictable.

 

I don’t care about their injuries. I want to win as easily as possible. We had the injuries last year, I hope they miss time

 

This. They’ve always lucked into teams they play deep in the playoffs getting hurt and hopefully this is their karma.

 

these guys are not hurt. with the way KD is playing it wont matter anyway.
