ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 12/5/2024

I could agree with this if said “very good team” weren’t down 2 starters one being their best player.

 

Don't forget Dillon's 2-8 with 3 rebounds in 35 m of play. Amen played 22m had 8 rebounds and was 2-5 from 3. Ime has got to get over his love affair with FVV and Brooks. If they are having a bad night, then try something else. Amen can't get any kind of rhythm going when he is constantly in and out of the lineup. We got outrebounded in this game 54-45. The Kerr/Ime matchup is the one we keep losing.

 

Can't beat the warriors then...can't beat them now. They still own us.

 

The Warriors just lost 5 games in a row before this game. They didn't have their two best players suited up. I have a HUGE problem with losing this game. This was a humiliating loss. I've loved the fight in this team this season, but they all ought to be embarrassed that they lost this one.

 

FVV shooting the most threes and Holiday only shooting 1 is a serious offence and Ime just accepting whatever shots are taking is an issue. You should put your best shooters in the best position to get a shot up. Just inserting Holiday in there alongside Reed without running a proper set for him to get open is just silly.

 

Didn’t watch the game but looking at the score our offensive deficiencies are catching up with us. And I’m not the one that’s going to sit here and put it all on Jalen, because he is not the only issue when it comes to scoring and shooting.

We have still much work to be done on this roster and Ime/coaching staff have to find a better offensive system for this team to get to the next level of truly being contenders.

We will still win some games with defense and just out hustling other teams but we will also lose games like this. Is what it is.

 

Or we could have just played Amen more than 22 minutes, instead of the 35 Dillon Brooks or the 36 Jalen got. Cam might have been a spark, but maybe Jeff Green or Tate could have as well. Instead we insert Holiday and Sheppard. Ime needs to get his sh*t together.

 

Amen can go 2/5 from 3 every game that’s just fine with me. Also he might be the most explosive athlete in the league, an ISO is a pretty solid call.

I will agree about the transition game tho. For a team that wants it and seems to do it a lot they are pretty average at it. I mean that Jabari to Jalen lob was beautiful but it almost looked accidental. Like how is Jabari able to throw that pass up but our typical ball handlers struggle?

 

Its been a while, but I didnt even watch the 4th and just went to bed.

We weren't even down double digits a lot of the time, and it was a completely winnable game, but 1) we could never really put a good run together or doing anything good consistently, and 2) its the Warriors, and I couldn't bear to watch us keep losing like we have the last 5yrs.

No matter what squad they have on the floor, they always beat us. We beat them more often when they were a championship team than we do now when theyre not, and yeah we had a better squad then but its frustrating to think about.

Its like we shot to the tops of the West and completely lost that drive. Young teams are like this I know, and I get we'll bounce back. It was just... the loss felt inevitable. I knew a role player for them would have a career night. I knew we'd struggle to shoot, and I knew they'd beat us without Curry because its the curse that the basketball gods have to make us lose and lose on the worst way possible by playing poorly all game long in a close game after they've lost 5 in a row.

 

Getting to a point where I'm looking forward to Amen/Reed checking in just so I don't have to watch the ****ing Fred/Jalen/Sengun show.

 

yep 40% just for fun

 

I have no problem with Dillon's minutes. He was very effective and efficient. Jalen was absolutely terrible though. Absolutely terrible.

 

The entire fuucking team sucked but i like how its Greens fault as usual.

Instead of focusing on the negatives like everyone else I will shed light on the few positives.

I liked how Reed was looking to be aggressive on his shot. Need more of that going forward because we need shooting like you wouldn't believe.

Steven Adams looked very good out there. He's still not moving fast but he looked his most fluid of the year. His amazing screens is why we were able to catch up and keep it close tbh. He was good on the boards as well. Hopefully a sign to come of him getting back into decent game shape.

For how shiity we played, and how god awful our offense looked, it was still a winnable game. That just goes to show all the other things we are doing well like defense, rebounding and turnovers.

 

Ugly Lose!

 

Warriors again? Feel like it been that way for over a decade now. Come on man!

 

nice
