ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 3/31/2017

how do you know?

 

Are there concerns "HELL YES". Never said there weren't. But (IMO... and it is just that MY OPINION) the concerns do not warrant the reactions that permeate gameday threads. I am not pointing at EVERYONE... and even when I do point I point to a smaller percentage.

 

Ok, but same thing happened last night when we were tied 105-105, and collapsed....

We are just not a disciplined team built to win in playoff conditions.

It's a guess .

A VERY educated guess.

 

not to mention we have been the best team in the league on B2B's

 

"Harden needs to rest" is just an excuse.

 

I'll disciplined plus a serious lack of basketball IQ as a collective (by far the worst of any team hoping to contend) is not a good mixture for the battleground of Playoff basketball.

Anyone who has played the game at a highly competitive level before knows those two characteristics are a horrible mixture when things get tough.

 

Harden lost this game.
Others have a good fight.

Thid game is very close, but Harden...Damn
This is why I was pissed off.

 

Yes he can, why do people keep saying this? There's a difference between resting becuase you're tired and resting because you're legitimately injured. Harden is legitimately injured.

this was his full quote btw...

"Yeah, because you’re not leaving your teammates out there to dry,” Harden said when asked whether MVP voters should be swayed by his willingness to play every night. “For me, I worry about always having my teammates’ backs, and always being out there knowing, no matter what, I’m going to be out there, unless I’m injured. That’s a different story."

Well, he's injured, and it's time to sit.

 

Why do you care?

 

Warriors fans are bangwagon fans, period

Where were they when they made the playoff 3 times in the past 20 years? ROFL ROFL

 

So, as I re-read what I posted initially. I never said we would be playing great after game 76. Never said there would be no concerns after game 76. Never claimed that our record couldn't have been better (I am looking at you opening day loss to the Lakers).

My ONLY observation, was that 40% of CF's would be whining.

If anything @Downtown Sniper and @bro2044... my case if proven.

 

Er, what's your point? This team plays the style of basketball that the owner, GM and head coach all want to see out there on the court. Now, whether that style is good enough to win in playoff conditions or get you to the WCF and beyond is open to debate. The jury is still out.

 

Personal experience with KD in the airport bathroom, Eh, Senator Barney F?

 

at the end of the day, if harden had a serious injury he would sit. I mean why are people overthinking this?

 

Well, we certainly won't win if Harden isn't healthy and Anderson doesn't make it back. Still, you have to appreciate the effort the team gave out there tonight despite the end result. In the last two games against the Warriors we've shot 13% and 32% from from three while Harden was a combined 9 for 38 from the field, yet we still had chances to win both of those games. Anderson has also missed all three of our games against the Warriors that we lost this year. The sky isn't falling but Harden's health is a big concern for me right now.

 

You will be happy like a kid again when we beat the next scrub team.

I know that.

 

The one constant is that the Warriors are elite or very good at limiting our 3 point shot.

That won't change. We will have couple games of good shooting nights but do not expect them to be plenty.

 

Can't let the Spurs sniff that number one seed. The script is set in stone for a WCF '15 rematch. "You'll be all right." -- Mike B-easy.

It is clearly hurting his shot and even his drives to the bucket are all short and that is a sign of something not right. Before the injury he would be automatic with those drives.
