ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/19/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 1)

QFBR(being reasonable)

 

I really hope Dwight is not out for the season.
Clint Capela is a star in the making, you heard it here first.
Very proud our Rockets never gave up.
The Warriors should be worried, just because we lost this game 1 doesn't mean the series is over... just look what we did to the Clippers.

 

Harden, Ariza, & Clint played a helluva game.

Only subpar performances are Dwight (excused) & Jones (not excused, grab a ****ing rebound)

 

i'd rather see capella in there if jones is gonna play scared. capella didnt hesitate to make his layups. smith should be getting at least 30minutes if dwight is gonna miss half the game. he had a ballin game

 

We are playing with house money this series.

Barely anyone expected us to even beat the Mavericks and almost no one expected us to beat the Clippers. Literally no one expects the Rockets to beat the Warriors except us Rockets fans.

We beat the Warriors and it becomes an unbelievable story. We lose and it will be as if nothing happened. We regroup and get stronger for next season.

 

That crap with Draymond Green tackling Ariza really screwed us over. Would have been in OT if that blatant foul gets called.

 

We should've had them, even without Dwight. Assuming he can come back, we can beat this team. I didn't fully believe that myself before, but I do now. We can beat these guys.

 

McHale actually looked pissed off, I like it.
Time to close line Kurt Rambis!!!

 

Did he say they were 'out of timeouts' in the 2nd quarter?

 

Harden totally crapped on Curry's boyfriend thomspon on national tv lol... harden lost his rodeo partner, while curry had all the help and then some, imagine if we had beverely and dmo

 

Well, that's not true. :grin:

 

Thank you. That 25-6 run by GS is what did them in. All of this whining about the refs is getting old. They (refs) let Harden get away with at least 4 walks tonight. One of the fouls he got called on Klay Thompson was a flop. The refs missed many calls on the Rox as well. No, they lost because of sloppy defense and turnovers in crunch time. One thing worth noting is that the advantage they had over LAC in terms of having the better bench does not extend to this series. It's the WC Finals and the pressure on them to play error-free ball will only increase as this series rolls on.

 

Jason Kidd anyone?

 

Honestly everything basketballholic (jopat) has said about TJONES was true tonight. Since everything has turned out to be true, TJONES should beast next game

 

You gotta love Capela man, made a few mistakes but the guy is definitely not afraid of the moment. Box out a little better for rebounds and work on those FTs big fella, hes so nimble on his feet and doesnt seem to be long and clumsy like other bigs we've seen with the same frame as him.

 

I know. But it sucks to have a 16-point lead late in the 2nd quarter and let it slip away. Especially when we probably lost this game because of a freak injury to Dwight. No way does he turn the ball over 5 times in the 1st half if that doesn't happen. And we wouldn't have had Smith and Jones in there in the 4th if he'd been healthy.

This feels like a damn cheat just like the 2009 Lakers series when Yao went down in Game 3. Maybe we don't win that one in the end even if he had stayed healthy, but I hate that we never got to find out.

 

Sorry, but the media doesn't mean a tinker's continental damn, not as far as the outcome of the games go. Sure, they can piss us off, and do, but when you get to the nut of it, they're a bunch of talking heads, babbling so they can draw their paychecks, with a few exceptions, like JVG. What matters is what happens on the court. How we play, who we have healthy enough to play, coaching decisions, what the refs do, or don't do. That's what matters. **** the media.

 

Howard ? Smfh

 

any updates on Dwight?

 

Why are Rockets fans so one sided? Nobody but people Houston thinks Rockets have a shot.
