ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/21/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 2)

I think he thought he had a clean step back and then it went to ****

 

Time out where ?

 

I want to see that last play again... what happened?

 

I am sure they will say they had it planned not to call a TO after the miss, to not give GS a chance to set their defense.

 

I genuinely am so sad. That was on par with Lillard.

 

Sickening that we could be up 2-0 right now if Howard was healthy and Jones/Smith didn't take turns being complete zeroes.

Harden was brilliant tonight. Don't let that last possession skew that preception. He was the reason we were in the game in the first place.

 

I go back to the no call on Green fouling Jones on the rebound with about 2 minutes left. Should've been Rockets ball but the Warriors got it back and scored 2 points. Turned out to be the difference in the game.

 

I'm very ok with no timeout. Gotta put up a shot though.

 

So heartbreaking. My night is ruined.

 

You have to call a time out. Even Phil Jackson called timeout for Jordan.

 

Im sorry. not calling a timeout was just not the right call. You take a timeout and draw up a play. I can ALMOST see running it, but the second you see nothing is available call the *****ING TIMEOUT. At least get a shot off. instead you get a turnover. Just not smart man. NOT SMART!

 

How did harden panic? He got doubled and the smart thing to do is pass out of the double. They never left him and they werent going to let harden shoot. Smith never should have passed back.

 

Why u want to play against a set defense?

 

Well, the issue is that he was doubled and Dwight was the only open man, Dwight being at halfcourt and useless due to the transition. Downside of attacking in transition but I'd do it again if I was McHale, better possession than a set play, just unfortunate luck that the Warriors identified the weakness so fast.

 

We gonna win both at home i believe we will!!!

 

Well, I won't blame it entirely on McHale. Maybe he told them to go down the floor to try to score if they got the miss and rebound. But when it became clear Harden didn't know what to do on that possession, someone needed to call for time. They would've still had about 3 seconds.

 

This is why this series is now done, may even be a sweep this was our game and frankly as good as Howard is his FT shooting this post season is god damn embarrassing, my dead grand mother could shoot a better % than that ****ing 11 year veteran he needs to ****ing own that shot cause it is getting really old !!!!

 

It's okay guys the good news is houston can still win this, and houston isn't falling apart away like we were in LA, Houston has a real ****ing shot, especially if Howard heals some more and Smith ****ing shows up!!!

 

This loss is on josh smith. Dumbass.

 

meh, the warriors are a good road team, we blew a huge opportunity here.
