ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/27/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 5)

LET's ROCK!!

Rocket River

 

Let's go Rockets! We have a Game 5! Why not win it? I believe!

 

The fact that this thread exists is the first minor victory. We know what going down 3-1 feels like and how to come back from it. We can do this. We will do this. Believe.

 

BELIEVE

 

This is the one. Get this one and the narrative does a 180.

Do it Harden, become a legend. We know you have it in you.

 

Wow. Harden has actually outplayed Curry this series, not by a wide margin or anything, and this is the level of analysis you get.

 

Warriors 174
Rockets 4

 

Any news on Dwight playing?

 

If the Rockets win Game 5 then the pressure is really on GS to close it out in 6 or face an "anything can happen" Game 7. GS will come out guns blazing knowing they do not want the pressure of a Game 6 on the road. Rockets need to come with even more energy than they came out with in Game 4 and take the fight to them from the go again. You don't want to fall behind early and have to try to come from behind on the road.

 

one game at a time. we've got nothing to lose

 

Just have to steal this one, by any means.

 

Think about the damage that would be done to GSW's confidence if the Rockets win the next 2. They may be mentally done going into a Game 7, even at home. After LAC blew Game 6 you just knew they were done. You could see it on their faces 3 hours before Game 7 in shootaround that they were tight.

Got to win Game 5 to make all that possible though.

 

One game a time. Stay in the moment, execute the offense, defend, eye on the prize.

Good to hear. But Dwight better keep his composure in Game 5. You know Bogut and Green will attempt to bait him and one more tech or flagrant and he's suspended. The Rockets don't have a prayer in this series unless he plays.

 

I believe it's still possible for Dwight to ultimately be suspended for TWO games, if the Rockets keep winning. He needs one more technical foul to get suspend one game, and one more flagrant foul to get suspended.

So in theory, he could get a tech in Game 5, miss Game 6, then play Game 7 and get a flagrant foul, then miss Game one of the Finals.
