ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 1/17/2015

The difference is we have been winning on Harden's back all year. We need him to win, GSW does not need Curry, they still have Klay. They are stacked man, They have iggy too all these players can get there own shot.

 

We gotta stop giving away the end of quarters. That's how we lost this 1st half and lost the CHI and ORL games.

 

man, harden needs to takeover

and i remember canaan was huge in the first game against the warriors..we could use his shooting tonight

 

We will win. GS will be tired in the 2nd half.

 

If Dubs shoot to their average from 3 the Rockets would be getting blown out. With Curry having an off night to boot.

This Rocket team is a pretender. They come out with no energy, allow GS to set the tone, Allow GS to dictate when and where they will get their shots, easy buckets at the rim, they run their offense at will no resistance from the ROX.

Where is the killer instinct?

 

Whaddaya mean??

We SHOULD lose this game. We're shooting 42% from the field, and just 22% from 3. We're up against the best defence in the league, and the best team in the league (and one of the deepest). They rested some guys last night to be ready for tonight, we SHOULD lose this game.

But hey, we're in the game at the half, despite a poor shooting half (and allowing them to shoot 50% from the field). A small improvement sees us steal a win!!

 

I like the way you think.

 

Actually, due to recent news, I think Mchale is all Les.

 

Will they? They're getting too many easy baskets because the Rockets are either not running back(even on made shots) or forgetting to switch on D.

 

Rockets piss me off with there bs. Going up by 4 then you let these fools go on a run to end a quarter. Stop the BS. Handle your business on both ends of the court. FOCUS! Defense wins championships at the end of the day and it takes discipline to play championship level defense.

 

Man it's amazing how different this warriors team is going from Jackson to Kerr. What a difference coaching makes!!! Sigh

 

People are freaking out, we are down 5. No game is played perfectly, gotta do some things better obviously and that's all.

 

I hate this saying " needs to take over" like he didn't wasn't too. I don't want him forcing anything.. GSW came in with a plan to stop Harden. They are shadowing him with another guy ever time. If we would stop missing gimmies and our bigs would box out we would be up.. Oh and so the stupid TOs

 

Also, refs are happy with that whistle tonight. Harden should be living at the line tonight.

 

You've got to give some credit to the Warriors they are a damn good team and just as deep and talented as the Rox.

This game reminds me of the Olajuwon/Barkley teams.

Back it in back it in get doubled kick it out for a 3 or a cutter to the basket.

Pound them in side and continue to get them in foul trouble

 

Ok let's see how they come out to start the third quarter that will be one sign that points to coaching and team maturity.

 

Captain Kirk is in the Arena right now.

 

DMO and Harden, both in foul trouble. I no like

 

Dmo, the x-factor, is having a nice game as well as Dwight. Our bigs I think are a real advantage against their bigs, but guard play has got to improve. They are really focusing on Harden big time. Smith really helped the Warriors to close out the half as well.

 

Yes, but didn't the TOs at the end of the half come from JSmith driving in and one post play of Dwight?
