ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 10/17/2017

Oh don't get me wrong - i know that cowherd is a westbrook hater, and i enjoyed every show of him. My problem is related to the comments i had to read all the time.

 

Tucker was the key today against the warriors.

 

Capela -23 btw. By far the worst.
Tucker +20 tho - i love this guy already !

 

No one mentioning CP3 getting Curry into foul trouble early. This was huge

 

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

 

Golden state got smoked in their season opener last year.

Media- they need time to gel this win means nothing.

Rockets have a whole new team this year and pull out an upset win over the championship warrior team from last year that added nick youn who scored 30 points and went like 8/8 from 3.

Tnt- Chris Paul is not needed on this team



The ***?

 

Rocket River

 

That was unreal!

 

Yep, IIRC correctly.

This was Cowherd pointing out to the media that they actually rated the Thunder well and swapped the narrative for him.

Whatever, it sucks because Harden should have been the MVP but maybe he'll get pity votes this year.

 

They both need to adapt but at the same time this is Hardens team and frankly harden is just better than cp3.

And that's no knock on cp3 he's a superstar but harden is under appreciated, he's a Lebron KD level player I don't understand why that's so hard for ppl to grasp.

 

As big as of a pick up CP3 was, even bigger under the radar pickups were Luke and PJ. Luke's length on defense and ability to knock down shots, and PJ's bull-dog defense and ability to knock down shots were the difference in tonight's game.

Rockets reloaded on DEFENSE. Instead of trying to match GSW's offense, Rockets countered with adding players that can shut some of these players down (or at least make them work harder to score) with the ability to rotate on multiple positions while still holding their own offensively.

Luke - 14pts on 6-9 shooting, 2-3 from 3pt
PJ - 20pts on 6-9 shooting, and 4-6 from 3pt

 

I never complain about the TNT crew because I know it's all about entertainment, but lord they were awful tonight. You seriously could have thought the Rockets lost by 40 by just listening to their tone about the Rockets.

How about actually giving this thing some time before making judgements after one ****ing game

 

Fun, great win but i think we were capable of this type of win last year. That luc, tucker, ariza line up looked great though. Would prefer Paul running it than Harden. 4 elite defenders at once.

who everyone was calling the game with Marv Albert tonight was an embarrassment.

 

Great win!!! It looked like last year, until we put the new defensive studs in the game. They truly gave GS problems--take that Dray Green. Thought everyone played well despite us trying to figure out a few things on both ends of the court. Friggin' TNT gave our guys NO props. Despite all of the new guys on the team, we pulled off a win against the World Champs--pretty damn amazing if you ask me.

 

nasty.

 

Those two players would not be here if it were not for CP3. Moute DEFINITELY came because of Paul. Tucker got phone spammed by Paul, Harden, and Ariza the entire off season.

 

Wow green is the most important player?

Over Kevin Durant? Over steph curry you know two guys that have 3 mvps between them.

So without draymond green the warriors arnt still the most talented team in the NBA? I don't buy that one bit.

 

lmao at ESPN talking about "Klay with the clamps"...maaannn, gtfoh

Harden was getting by dudes off the dribble left and right all night, stop it...

 

Also I think it was metioned that the home team in ring ceremony night only lost 3 times I think?

 

The problem with last year is we would have 3 of harden/Williams/Gordon/bev on the floor at once a lot of the time. That lineup is just too small to stop anyone in the clutch. Tucker and mootay baby!!!
