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

Jalen on Sunday

 

You make your name in the regular season
You make your fame in the post season.

 

That wasn’t the case for game 5. Jalen had the ball in his hands for most of the game initiating the offense. There were no driving lanes and while he didn’t score many points his dribble drive drew fouls and also allowed the offense to rotate the ball and find open players on both the perimeter and paint. We need his scoring and playmaking. Fred Amen and Sengun cant do it by themselves

 

I remember Chris Webber of all people knew something was off with the officiating in that game 7. Haven't watched highlights since 2018 either. This game 7 will be cathartic

 

I make special appearances in the post season when I have to forage for game feeds outside of league pass. I make even more rare in season appearances when I feel like hearing Eric tell us Udoker is not good enough and Cam is the best. I think only @Thrilla and @TimDuncanDonaut notice me in there. I keep a low profile, unlike this coming Sunday:

 

Did you watch game 5? He initiated the offense from the start and it was clear the coaches wanted to get him going. His penetration led to kick outs or rotations to open shooters and paint scorers. They played zone or double and triple teamed him.

For game 7 coaches need to find a way to get him to score.

 

The game was ours from the start, they weren't playing with any sort of urgency or rhytm. We failed to capitalise on that in the 1st, but there still was a feeling we were going to put them away at some point, and it happened at the best possible time.

Fred, Steve and Alpi pulled the most, but shoutout to Bari for hitting those 2 big 3's when they were closing in on us, and to Tari for doing the same in the 1st half.

They're tired, hobbled and now they lost their momentum in the series. So guys, please, finish them off and send them packing on Sunday. Go Rockets!

 

If you say so lol I wont hold my breath.

 

You grasping at straws. Its so sad.

 

Jalen as a 3&D guy?

A guy who can't do either of those things?

Oh lordy

 

It’s evident your bias led you to misinterpret what I said. But more importantly it caused you to misinterpret what you allegedly watched.

Closely Review the game before opening your mouth. Comprehend what you read before firing off a dumbass response

 

Youre growing angry. Youre going through all the stages sooner or later you'll get to the acceptance stage. Just as I have. Right now youre like a guy falling over the side of a ship grasping at wet flat surface thinking its not too late, Im gonna catch myself. but its already over. You just don't know it yet.

 

That turd is most assuredly showing up.

 

This game has everything i feared:
>curry master class
>draymond violent defense on sengun
>jalen stinker

but we still won, insane. I genuinely didn’t think we could win this one

 

I never re-watched that game again, sadly that was the game I realize NBA or refs control the games and series. When I hear about any missed calls like that Pistons/Knicks game this year, it reminds me of that game and series.
VanVleet, I said he would have to outshine Curry in the Series so I'm eating crow. And if he wins Game 7, I will buy #5. 1st time hearing him talk in the press conference, he is what we need, a calm influencer. No matter what stats say about VanVleet for Game 7, as long as he wins Game 7, it would erase a lot of pain from The Dubs.

 

curry disaster class tbh. He was chucking the whole night. Surprised he went 6/16 from 3.

 

I don’t want to say anything… . Oops.
