ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/2/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

we’re getting marc davis for sure on sunday

 

Fred and Ime are squashing all that.

 

Somebody told me 2 bigs wouldn't work. It's one of the reasons I wanted Edey vs Sheppard

 

I also didn't expect he would continue his hot shooting after game 4, after game 5.... etc

 

Nothings promised against the Warriors.

 

What a game! Let's go Rockets!

 

TC has to be packed at tip and loud throughout…show GS what a real HCA looks like

GS left Oakland where all the common folk lived to go to tech bro country, and now their home court is pretty weak…nothing intimidating about Chase Center at all, that environment is about as hostile as HEB on a Monday morning

I need TC to be wild on Sunday…WILD

 

Tbh we’re obviously Rockets homers but i believe the league fans would want to see the Rockets move on. Hopefully the refs play fair.

 

Rockets figured them out double big lineup they can't get in the paint & I'm good with everybody minus steph firing 3's.

 

If we can just win game 7 and end this ****in warriors curse, it’ll be one of the most satisfying seasons I’ve witnessed as a rockets fan. Everything after will be icing on the cake for me. Still want us to win of course, but I don’t think my nerve wrecking anxiety will be as high in any other series if we eliminate these chumps on Sunday. Proud of this team no matter what though!

 

No hero ball. Everyone needs to contribute. We do need FVV to keep hitting those wide open 3’s. Pretty sure Jalen is not going to provide much, so FVV, Amen, and especially Sengun have to play big in this next game. Jabari needs to get more spot up shots. No dribbling for him. Amen has to stay ultra aggressive going to the basket.

 

My favorite theme of the series is the redemption of Fred VanVleet. Fred has led us to a game 7. Will any of you continue to whine about FVV after tonight's performance?

My second favorite theme is Steven Adams making a huge difference in the series. I don't think many of us anticipated that. The Warriors look small and weak when Sengun and Adams are on the floor together. They're starting to feel small and weak as well.

My third favorite theme is how little Draymond has accomplished in this series. The Warrior's third best player has played pretty good defense on Sengun but otherwise accomplished very little other than act like a drunk *******.

Game 7 should be fun. Fred, lead us home!

 

Yeah I'm out on a shooting big man, I just want more Steve.

 

It only works because Steven Adams is such a dominant offensive rebounder that the offense isn't 4 vs 5,. It's 4 vs 4 (or even 4 vs 3 because sometimes teams shade a second player to Adams to keep him off the glass).

This would not have worked with Edey.

 

100%

I think the rest of NBA fans are fatigued by Curry and this Warriors team.

Amen v Edwards would be a lot more fun, Minny would deal with GSW in 5 games at most. Minny has the same size advantage, is a far more experienced team than we are, and have a go-to scorer. They'd blow past this Warriors team.

 

I hope they ground Curry, Butler and Green down enough today to run them out in the first quarter the way they did in Game 5!!

Run! Run! Run!!!!

 

please please please....

i dont even care what happens in the next round...

as long as we can put Curry to nite nite and kick donkey's a**...

i dont even care whatever may come after!

 

Yes. More shots from Jabari. They don't have anyone that can guard Jabari.

 

Earned the win tonight (first good fourth quarter)

Tari was ass in the second half

Jalen stayed out of the way again, but played some real solid defense.

We’ve been in the “good Fred” zone for a long time and I hope it continues on Sunday
