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

That is the only reason they where on a big run. Refs have been horrible.

 

The warrior's offense: Chuck threes and pray for the referees lol

 

Good job ignoring context, every team is different. In this building, against that team, you MUST call a time-out. Then you make an adjustment. Smith out, Ariza in, direct the team to run pnr, no more post ups.

You need to at least stop the Warriors momentum, that are a momentum team.

Adelman did it, is not a defense of calling no time-out during that stretch.

 

we shoulda countered that small lineup with josh & tj at the 4 &5....we all knew they were gonna make their run we still in this Houston we just need more offense from Harden & for d12 to get his head in the game & we should be fine...

 

Something people need to realize is this right here.

If Harden drives and is fouled and loses the ball as a result...and the refs DO NOT call the foul...what happens is GSW goes out on a fastbreak.

So instead of getting two FTs wer are giving up a lay up or a 3. It's a HUGE difference to the game.

 

How come every time there's a questionable call against the Rockets ESPN doesn't show a replay? Specifically during Livingston's run.

 

i like mchale but if he's watching any film he would know howard is a turnover machine when facing the warriors, his worst turnover games come against them bought forces him to make them or take bad shots..

if boguts not in they double him looking to take ball aggressively

 

c'mon, play prigs and capela more. (god i cant believe i am saying this.)

we can still have this game. we have a fair chance to win regardless. the gsw aint have no more tricks left in their bags. what's left is play hard and execute.

let go rockets!

 

Touch fouls, at best. So Harden isn't getting the calls as frequently as he's used to. That's the chance he takes when his game relies on the refs blowing a whistle. How about we run some decent plays and get good looks, rather than forcing things into traffic and hoping for a bailout call?

 

Bull**** defense on Dwight by Green. What a bull**** call too

 

So I guess he's the only player in the league to get fouled on EVERY possession, he's been cold since like game 2 against the Clips, can't be because he's always getting fouled on every shot he takes, he's just been cold.

 

Here comes the dreaded 3rd quarter. Rockets push through this quarter and retake the lead going into the 4th.

 

First 6 to 8 min of the 3rd if we play decent and the refs called pretty fair they we should win. They call like they did in the first half we lose plain and simple

 

Harden needs to keep attacking even though he isn't getting the call. They'll have to call it eventually when it is too obvious.

Capela needs to play more. That dude is the real deal.

 

Rockets going 5-8

 

Praying not getting blown out in the 3rd. Please ...

 

I know the foul counts and the FTA are pretty even for both teams....but it really felt like the foul calls hurt the Rockets more...and they all of a sudden stopped blowing the whistle on the Rockets in the 2nd qtr. Let's see what happens in the 2nd half.

At the same time, the team has to play through it, it sort of looked like they stopped playing and trying to go for home runs instead of playing smart like passing it around and look for the best shot

 

Did you see his flop in game 3 v Pelicans? Like he got elbowed in the face and it was nothing. What an idiot

 

These refs are clearly making an effort to STFU when they see Harden getting hacked.

 

They aren't calling it the same on both sides..

one side can hack, grab people, and shove Dwight on multiple positions in a row while boxing out...

the other gets free throws if someone touches them
