ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/23/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 3)

**** Warriors and **** Curry.

 

First time I've been pretty happy about the referee assignments:

Stats below are based on regular season only (since that's a larger sample size):
Scott Foster: Home Team wins 59% of the time, 52% of fouls called on road team
Jason Phillips: 59.6% Home Win %, 51% of fouls called on road team
Zach Zarba: 56.5% Home Win %, aprox 50/50% split on fouls

 

This is playoffs only (small sample size) see my post for regular season stats, look much better for Houston.

 

Dwight with 20/20, Harden stays hot, and Ariza gets some more looks. We win by 15.

 

ESPN trying to start something:

Still begs the question, why no pick and roll with the two?? The most I've seen it was in game 3/4 last year..

 

^ GSW has done a great job of defending it

what you talking about.

harden 50pts 20asst 15rebs
dwight 25pts 25rebs 10blks
prigs 10pts 10asst 10rebs

we win by 30.

oh, curry 12pts 1reb 2asst, 1-10 on3's.

 

screw espn. never listen to 'em.

dwight not a p&r player. he's got no range and cant dribble in the lane. better throw some alleys and bomb them from above.

 

Oh damn, that road team record. Rockets better play A+ ball. Harden needs another Jordan game too.

Good ol' Houston.

 

sec 120 for just $670 apiece? man. this got me thinking...

 

Hopefully Mark Jackson doesnt suck GS dick all night long again on this broadcast tonite.

 

Good ole Le$. I'm going to the game tonight, but ticket prices are WAY too expensive.

 

Cavs won two on the road, East is decided. Rockets win today would keep West interesting. And both teams play well. I expect decent reffing (maybe favoring Rox a bit), so a win is pretty possible.
Vegas gives 50/50, my pick is on Rockets. It's time for Harden to go nuts for couple games.

 

not yet, Atlanta can win in Cleveland

 

We have some of the most expensive tickets int he playoffs. Lance is smoking crack.
