ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/4/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

Is buddy legit slow?

 

you’re not wrong - hard to win basketball games when the opponent has such a glaring advantage from beyond the arch

 

Yes game 2 = the 1 game Jalen showed up...

 

I’m with you, Sengun played too small and made a crucial mistakes but ironically Jalen even had worse series than anyone so if I had a choice I would try to shop Jalen but I don’t think there’s market for Jalen at this point

 

Where’s that moron Bobby? I’m sure he thinks if Reed would have played we would have won. Smh

 

sucks that the ghost of game 7s past got us but at least it aint going to be a chip for the warriors

okc is going to run through everyone, probably
twolves winning it would be preferred tbh. i like ant and who doesnt love prince?

 

Definitely outcoached. Didn't understand that the Warriors had finally committed to countering the double big and that we needed to push the pace more.

Relied WAY too much on Sengun going at Draymond and Looney when it wasn't working all game long. It simply wasn't working. Just stubborn, too stubborn to ever think that maybe something new needs to be done.

 

Call me crazy, maybe Harden was right about him taking care of the offense for Ime. We clearly have no coaching on offense.

Guys passing up open shots to make difficult passes... no one corrected them.

At least when Harden dribbled the clock down he usually ended the possession with a clean look and not a post up on Draymond...

 

Goodbye Jalen Green!
SOFT!

 

Did you see games 5 & 6? Ime devised defenses that forced Kerr to scramble his lineups. That happened, too.

 

We're going to have to attach draft picks to get him off the roster

Nobody is going to want him after this series. The hope that Jalen would become more than a Jordan Clarkson is gone

 

If Hield didn’t go off, we had a chance. We only had a chance because our defense outside of him still played pretty damn well.

offensively… yikes

They needed to go through this. Any more success would of course been better, but losing a game 7 early and coming out so flat offensively… there’s a longterm lesson in there.

Jalen was especially useless tonight.
Alpi wasn’t that good.
Dylan was absent.
FVV didn’t offer a ton of 3s like we needed.
Tari played okay but crucial missed free throws.
Adams wasn’t much help, couldn’t expect a HoF team to not figure that defense out after 7 tries.
Amen played his heart out— also missed two crucial FTs.
Jabari wasn’t much help outside one or two threes.

We didn’t get a ton of great looks and we didn’t hit many of the ones we did. Maybe we should have tried Holiday.

 

Lost to Warriors at home is totally devastating...

 

you don’t have to hear it, it came out Ime mouth several times just like it came out of Adam’s mouth… me personally I rather him jack 10+ 3s than continue to miss bunnies

 

It didn't even feel like game 7

 

Boston plays 5 out - we play 5 in

 

Buddy hit fkn 9 god damn 3s. Tied for the most in a game 7. Unbelievable.

 

I was at game 7 in 2015, and it was electric

2018 the crowd was great, but the refs activated rig mode

Tonight? Trash from the start, and just died completely like a minute into the 2nd quarter…u could hear a pin drop, and the Rockets weren’t even down that much…Idk why fans just gave up like that

the few who were making noise, it was like yelling in a library

 

The Rockets finished second in a tough Western Conference by winning more than 50 games after having a .500 record last year. It’s a really good season. Even if they beat Golden State tonight, they weren’t likely to make a deep playoff run this year.

 

They had people who can shot but thought jalen green would be that super star, they are in the inside and have more information, but even a fan from outside could tell the outcome before it happened.

 

Lowlight of the night was Jabari getting clamped by Curry in the post.
