ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/30/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Man I have so many thoughts on this game

 

Butterfinger Landale sucks

 

Not until we win there

 

Well there was the Josh Smith game against the Clippers with Harden glued to the bench.

 

I hope they show the team video of Butler and Curry smirking on the bench tonight. They are certain they are going to close this out in Game 6. Wipe those smirks off their faces and bring it back to Houston.

 

Tell us

 

He did it in a game in regular season and same result he had to put the starters back in …

1 Holiday isn’t a PG .. Reed is too timid… Jock is energy but you have to set him up … You have to have Jeff Green or Cam in to make buckets .. Bari is the hustle : rebounder … you can’t have Tari out there without a ballhandler ..

 

3rd unit ruined what was a fun win. Then idiot Sengun compounded the issue with his stupid tough guy act. The momentum was in our favor going into game 6, now not so much.

Never play the 3rd unit again.

 

The only thing I take from this game for the game 6 elimination game is that Amen rediscovered his demon game. That's it.

 

Reed Sheppard only one with common sense. Reed with the ball out of bounds throwing the ball full court because of Full Court Press by the Warriors.

 

This fake comeback wasn't that big of a deal. A win is a win. Let's move on to Friday.

Let's get a Jalen Green game. Let's get another solid Sengun game. Let's get another great Amen game. Brooks, too. Van Vleet could go back to being a bricklayer if he wants, hopefully not, though. Let's get it back to Houston.

 

Didn’t watch the game but was I right?

 

You mean that the team that has another chance if they lose, is the one with the pressure?

 

I hope not. Jabari is under-utilized

 

I wish you could fight in the NBA so we could really see who’s bout it and who’s not.

 

Yeah in the end it will have no effect on game 6. No one got hurt, no one got suspended, so it's fine.

 

Jock and Aron aren't our star players.

 

The abortion that was the lineup when they pulled the starters the first time.

The lineup the second time we pulled the starters was much more competent with Cam, Nate Williams, and Jeff Green in instead of Landale, Tari, and Jabari.

The issue is that the first time around, you had guys like Tari and Jabari trying to run the offense and they are not capable of doing so. They won't stick to their role when bench guys are out there with them.

 

I remember those days... Dream would just punch folks.
