ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 3/17/2013

6th seed here we come!

 

Don't be so sure. There are no easy games. Minnesota just gave us a hell of a game on Friday and I expect Golden State to do the same

 

Steph Curry will drop 30

 

Minnesota's recent play has been much improved. They blew out San Antonio by 30 plus.

 

Yep, this team is a textbook case of Jekyll & Hyde.

 

30 Turnovers?

You sure a Steph Curry hater , you SOH :grin:

 

No Tim Duncan so it doesn't really count

Parker is still out and they lost by 24 not 30 plus

 

So we're playing another crappy team. Which rockets teams will we see? You never know what you will get.

 

Hahaha great comment man! 6th seed here we come !

 

I hope the Rockets stop their lazy starts and actually crush these guys in the beginning.

I'm tired of this team waking up after half time. Wake up in the first quarter and bury them before they have a chance to get hot.

 

WE have there number, now all we have to do is play good D and everything else will fall in place and the 6th seed will be ours for the time being... Go Rockets!

 

This should be sent to the Rockets staff in hopes that we could implement some of these plays in our offense. A nice and needed addition to ISOs and hot-potato ball.

 

Wait, what? Durant got traded to the Warriors? How'd I miss that?

That's basically the same play over and over again. Two Warriors form a wall at the free throw line to get Curry or Thompson free for a top of the key 3-pointer.

Rockets can't implement the same because we don't have any consistent 3-point shooters who can launch off the curl at the top of the key (The hardest 3-point shot to make). We do have a couple guys who can hit the corner 3 rather well.

 

Giving that lin's inconsistent patten which is kind of consistent lol),this game is unfoturnately a loss. Hope Rockets win.

 

Harden? Delfino? Parsons?

3PT% FG% (Through 2012-2013 Season)
Steph Curry 45% 44%
Clay Thompson 38% 41%

James Harden 37% 45%
Carlos Delfino 38% 40%
Chandler Parsons 39% 48%

I would much rather have Delfino rolling off a screen rather than see him trying to beat some one off of the dribble which I have seen him do more than once in our "offense". IMO, sets like these would perfectly suit our personnel or any team, because in its essence, screens like these free up an player on offense without him having to go one-on-one to create a shot as the defender's progress is being blocked by the offensive player's teammate and thus can lead to an easier shot and one under less duress. I think plays like these should be mixed in to our offense so that we can be multi-dimensional and possibly more difficult to plan for.

 

Just trying to compress the obligatory game thread comments. Sadly failed to add jinx or reverse jinx.

Terrence Jones is on the active list, still thumb problems, Olbrecht has sprained ankle so is out. Per Feigen.
