ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/19/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 1)

Did anybody notice Dwight has 5 technical fouls already? 7 will lead to a one-game suspension.

 

i'm sure steve kerr has repeated this several times to bogut/draymond

 

2Rox ?

 

go rockets

 

WOW JUST WOW. There were so many points in season i thought this thread wouldnt exist

 

At this point, if you could guarantee that we would beat Golden State but lose in the Finals, I would take it.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to take out the darling warriors and their golden child steph curry.

 

It's game day baby!!!! Red nation out in the burg today!!! Haters gonna hate - playas gonna play

 

Very similar this year too in that the new inquisitions are finally starting to Gel. You couldn't compare that 95 playoff team to their regular season selves. It was totally different after they finally put it together. I feel like in game 6, 4th quarter, I never seen 5 players on the court look so in tune with one another.

 

I was way more worried about LA than I am Golden State.

Rockets take these boys out in 5 (6 at the most). And Harden gets to show who should have won MVP.

 

anybody know when game 3 tickets go on sale?

 

Nobody at ESPN picked Dwight's 2009 Orlando team either. I really hope he sees both of these prediction sets and uses it as motivation.

 

If we beat Golden State, we'll win the Finals against Cavs or Hawks also. IMO, the real NBA Finals are the WCF right now ...

 

Rockets gonna be Cali's most hated team when this series is over.

 

Damn straight. I don't think anyone in the East can beat the Western bigs. This would be the last hurdle for the Rockets. And it's a BIG hurdle.

 

Let's make this a good game tonight!

I shoulda wore my jersey under my work shirt.....crap.

 

Here is what I'm doing

Curry will get his but I'm making sure no one else beats us

- Ariza on Klay
- Harden on Barnes
- JET on Curry to start with

- Heavy dose of high screen 4-5 P n R between Josh and Dwight like the Mavs Series. Bogut is big but not as physical and can't get off the floor to stop the oops

 

Game 3 & 4 are available on FlashSeats

 

People seem to be in denial that the Warriors weren't the #1 ranked offense in the league. That was the Clippers, and we just beat them.

Granted, our defensive gameplan to stop GS will be different, it can be done.

 

Yeah, I'd be shocked if the Rockets lost in the Finals if they manage to beat the Warriors(not to mention the Clippers). The Hawks would have home court, but their lack of a superstar has been an issue in the postseason. You can tell late in games that they don't know who to go to. They seem to have defaulted to Horford, but he'd have a tough time against Dwight.

The Cavs most definitely have a superstar to go to, but the loss of Love and injury to Irving along with the lack of home court would give the Rockets an edge in that matchup.
