ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/18/2016 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

Playing recreational basketball in college etc, I can say that I was a guy that set moving screens/picks quite often. If they don't call it on Golden State then they shouldn't for Houston. It is an unfair advantage.

 

Rockets are the best

 

I loved that DMo was actually competing out there. Give me Bev, DMo and Ariza for 48 (or at least as much as they can play without getting fouled out/completely dog tired). They are the only ones I trust to actually care, play their asses off and go into the game focused. The results may not always be there but that is all I ask out of a professional athlete competing on the highest level. Compete with focus! It's not that hard.

I wish DMo and Bev were fully healthy last year. We may have been able to squeeze game one or two out with the versatility that they provide. It is a shame that DMo just doesn't have his strength back but hopefully he can make Draymond look like a tool every once in a while.

 

Why you punch his face ? It's already messed up

 

Agreed, please don't let Brewer drive to the game. He can stay in the hotel room.

 

Greene will probably do a 'Reggie Evans' this time around and DMo will be grabbed.

 

1. Break Curry's ankles
2. Flop on every illegal screen
3. Put the warriors on notice that nobody is taking their crap anymore

 

Spoiler

 

Last pre-game, shootaround Howard was practicing his elbow jumper.

This time his Nowitzki dead-leg fadeaway.

sigh

 

^ Dmo wearing Black. Brewer gray. Dmo starting?

 

Let's rock and sock em

 

Yeah, Dwight just doesn't care at this point, but i'm not even angry at this pont, this is just not a team anymore, free agency can't come soon enough.

 

Rockets win by 12.......

 

Why is the line still -13 when everyone seems to think Curry is going to sit? Does Vegas know something we don't know?

 

We outscored them by one in the second half. Yeah...we didn't get closer than 15 but we did outscore them in the 2nd half...so that's something.

 

Exactly, we can beat them..... They aint even that good... If James Harden and Dwight are ready to take over tonight The Rockets will come back to Houston 1-1.....

 

They better start issuing techs to Draymond "Lamprey Face" Green every time he screams at the top of his lungs at another player. Can't stand that chump.

Another reason I don't like gsw

Diamond Leung: Klay Thompson on moving screens: "It sounds like some excuses …

http://hoopshype.com/rumor/1049301/

 

No, Klay, it sounds like an illegal maneuver that can lead to anywhere from a 6 to 15 point advantage for YOUR team over the course of a game, depending on whether the shots go in.

If the refs called that even MOST of the time, the Warriors would have probably lost 3-4 more games IMO.

 

Calvin Watkins says Dmo will probably start tonite. Music to my ears. Cant wait to see the first shove between him and Donkey Face
