ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/6/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 4)

That’s what the warriors do also tho.

Build big leads and let it slip.

But you have to look at the opponent?

We’re playing the GS warriors. There that good, gonna make shots.

Last time I checked the warriors got up double digits in game 3 and let us back in and we won.

Thru 4 games GS 448 Hou 447

These two teams are playing championship level ball and competition at the highest level.

No other team in the playoffs right now is playing in this kind of high stakes game every game but these two teams.

This is the finals and that’s no disrespect to the bucks who look great or Kawhi who’s balling and I hope stays in Toronto it’s a good fit for him it just works.

 

@LorneMalvo couldn't stop posting after games 1 and 2. and all the other its over after 2-0 whiners

 

Wasn’t even a foul.

Also it’s ****ing hilarious how after the Rockets brought up the officiating EVERY SINGLE talking head was saying I don’t want to talk about the refs or officiating, that’s the last thing I want this series to be about.

But as soon as their are some calls perceived to start going against the warriors every talking head is bringing it up.

 

“If we’re misisng 3s we have to mix in some midrange or we can’t win....”

lol

 

Good post.

James has stepped up huge.He's the man.

That said he needed to use his change of speed, drives to the hoop down the stretch, rather than settling/falling in love with deep threes. GS had no answer and he went away from it. Make it, create, or get fouled..higher % play.

Anyway, great job by the good guys.
Let's go get it!

 

Doug Gottlieb is an idiot if he thinks that’s a dirty play. Tucker outweighs Curry by 50-60 pounds, and simply boxes him out. Not P.J.’s fault that Curry is built like a twig.

 

The Rockets are 10-8 against Golden State since the start of last season. Two of those losses were after Chris Paul got hurt in game 5 last year, and one was ref aided this year. The Rockets also beat the Warriors twice this year in the regular season when either Harden or CP3 didn’t play. Point is, the Rockets success against Golden State isn’t a fluke.

 

because they aint using their brains

 

Stephen A Smith: "I'm told Klay Thompson isn't happy. his number isn't called nearly enough. He's tired of getting quote and this is a quote 'the crumbs' left by other players"

[Haynes] Warriors think CP3 made "a dirty play" undercutting Iggy after missed FT with 10 seconds left in the game

 

Spoiler: Tucker responding to criticism last night

 

what should he do?

 

NEW YORK KNICKS

 

I'm glad the world is finally acknowledging that Kevin Durant is NOT 6'9" as listed, but is in fact 7-ft tall in shoes. Tallest guy on the floor. And can play like Kevin Durant. It's amazing anyone can stop him. It's amazing Harden, who's only 6'5" in shoes is the most dominate offensive force in the league when a freak like Durant exists. And Harden's also a very effective defender of Kevin Durant.

This is also just one of the many, many, MANY reasons that Capela switched onto Durant is an instant loss: he's not even taller than him. The Warriors have been looking for that switch at EVERY opportunity.
