ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/16/2016 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

I hear ya but doing what JB is doing is suicide

 

Obviously they're just simply better than us in every aspect of the game.

However, what Greene was able to get away with when guarding D-Mo at the end of the game pretty much sums the what the Warriors actually get away with during a game.

 

*Sums up what

 

Warriors fans think we played a dirty game. Are you freaking kidding me? What a bunch of softies!

Also, they only see our players flopping. They didn't see their own player flops in the game.

Definitely don't sound like the fans of the team who just made history with the best record in the history of the regular season.

I guess they wanted us to lay down even more than we did...like roll out the red carpet. Sheesh!

 

I agree with everyone here, Terry should never be guarding Curry. When Beverley sits, I would like to see KJ come off the bench to check Curry.

Time to go back to starting DMo, you can't start a player (Brewer) in this bad of a shooting slump. You probably still have to give Brewer some minutes off the bench to defend against the length of players like Livingston and Iguodala, but his time should be limited if he continues to brick wide open shots.

Josh was one of the few guys that was in attack mode on the offensive end, he made some nice plays in the 1st half. I'm kind of intrigued by a lineup of
Beverley, Harden, KJ, Ariza, and Josh at the 5. That would open up the court a little more for Harden drives, gives the team a second playmaker in Smith, and can match up well defensively against the Warriors "death" lineup.

 

Brewer got the start because he is fast. Seeing Dmo get Howard or Yao'd on officiating is the icing on the cake of humiliation. They beat up on the bigs pretty good with very minimum calls. If Howard did what Greene did this game, there would be at least 1 game suspension.

 

unusual game time

 

The contrast between how Greene/Bogut are officiated compared to Howard is absurd.

 

REFS. Don't call illegal screens against warriors

 

Sorry James you won't be able to count on those cheap reach fouls during this series. Golden State made you drive to the right side of the room only and they are contested your shot instead of reaching

 

Or two hands in the back of all of our post ups.

The Warriors are getting away with murder - and the refs are not doing anything about it.

The Rox org should be recording this and putting it in front of the league, and if nothing happens put it publicly.

Like JVG used to do.

JVG said it best.... "you can't beat the system"

 

just use the rest of the series to play KJ and Montrez. develop them

remember how much better Capela got last year by playing him in the playoffs

 

Not if you don't have one.

 

Especially when he can't even get around his man in the first place

 

Not only are the Warriors getting away with murder, but the refs are turning around and calling the rockets for minor contact on the other end, further compounding the issue. The Rockets played an awful game and deserved to lose, but that was just blatant one-sided officiating in favor of the Warriors.

 

Then someone on the Rockets needs to play dirty.

Completely agree

 

No one has the passion or courage on the team at the moment to beat the system. It is mental, it takes special players or coaches to turn this into motivation rather than stand idle and let it happen during the game. Bad calls, yeah, but how are you going to handle situation at the moment?

In My opinion, Jeff Van Gundy possibly was not a special coach, Rockets have to dig deep, maybe get in touch with there inner primal side during the game. A good coach would twist this into motivation rather than dwell on illegal screens after the game.

 

Obviously they call more differently in the playoffs.... you just cannot really depend on that.

Dayum Harden wished he worked out in the offseason, he just isn't athletic enough outside his jumpers
