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

The rockets are in the WCF... Let that sink in. Enjoy

 

We got this. The Rox will pick up where they left off in Game 7.

 

The warriors are going to take us lightly since they handled us during the season. Hoping to steal game 1

 

Yep. Whatever we do now (to me) is gravy. Especially with us not having a good pg.

 

And then, home court advantage switches and it's a whole new ball game.

 

DeAndre may be stronger than Bogut, but Bogut is no slouch. He's a big dude, and unlike DeAndre willing to do 90's era Jazz things to gain an advantage.

 

yeah yeah Milwaukee's defence IS no.2 because it is. Thank you very much. Watch a game first before you put something down. They have better defence than the Rockets. And they proved it DURING the playoffs too. /bucks fan mode.

 

true. but now since we're in the conf. finals, i also want more.

think about it, other than a dynasty sorta scenario (which we're clearly not) , how often is any team in conf. finals? the worriors, 1st time since the 70's? atlanta like never? for cleveland its been x many years. and for us it's the 1st since the 90's. so we'd better make the most out of it.

and for some reason, as good as they are, this gsw team doesnt scare me that much. maybe because they're not a very physical team. idk.

what if we win another game 7 in this series? that'd be fun. i can hope, cant i.

 

true.

but we can bomb him like crazy with lobs to dwight.

 

and hopefully josh can be our d. green and even "out-green" him.

(this is what they said on 610, which i cant agree more.)

 

Yes true but imagen had we lost game 6 we would be talking about blowing this team up right about now.

 

I was mostly listing similarities and comparing yes because they do have a lot of things in common. I know GS has a better defense than that Suns team. How much better is a moot point (to me) because I question how good GS's defense really is as in I don't think they're as good as their #1 ranking may suggest.

 

I checked some stats from years ago and Bogut was the only center that Orlando Dwight didn't get whole beast mode on. Always gave him trouble.

 

We still here!!! Final Four baby!!!!! WIN!!!!

 

I'm super stoked. COME ON, CLUTCH CITY ROCKERS! Make some noise for your HOUSTON ROCKETS!

 

Who *really* was thinking WCF game 1 last October? I mean really thinking the team had a good chance to get here? It's just incredible, out of this western conference, with all the injuries along the way.

Any way I can stream the Rockets' radio broadcast? I keep trying the Houston station links but can't seem to bring up live coverage (in many of the previous playoff games).

 

Is this a serious question? You really think the warriors reputation as the leagues best defensive team this year is fake and only based on some formula by Hollingers?

Never underestimate the heart of James Harden who got "overlooked" for MVP and mentioned it in the game 7 postgame. Look for Harden to shred like a tank with razors on the sides.
