ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/24/2016 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Corey Brewer 5 mins...JB is finally learning

 

Pros:
3 fouls on goon platoon (Bogut, Green)
Curry hobbled

Cons:
Major turnovers. Serving 'em up hot

Other:
Beverley injured

 

Curry shouldn't had played

 

Dmo leading the rockets team with 3 TO

 

Dmo with no fans right now.

Rocket fans hate him with the outlet pass.
GS fans hate him for causing the slick spot with his sweat.

But wow, what a half. The TO's sucked but at least they're hustling and playing with energy. Score is pretty high but still playing at a pace which the Rockets have a chance. Curry looking rusty obviously helped.

 

We missed a rare golden opportunity to be up in this game. I actually feel really discouraged right now. We can still win, sure, but I feel like in the 'moment' more than likely were going to do something REALLY stupid and unnecessary.

 

Thought we played a very smart game for the majority.

Again, some stupid decisions are costing us big though.

- needed to get D-Mo in the post against Green when he had 3 fouls straight away, not wait a few minutes. And you've got to get better possessions than trying to lob over a half fronted D-Mo

- needed to go at Bogut straight away after he picked up his first foul 18 seconds into the game

- that overthrow to end the half by D-Mo, yuck.

- Ariza. I am so unbelievably sick of his shot attempts. You'd think he was Klay Thompson - instead he's shooting 23% from downtown.

- absolutely idiotic having players from the rotation hack. Why not sub in Montrez to do that?

Said it from the very beginning the key to containing this GS team is to show hard on the Curry p'n'r and make him throw those cross court passes.

 

They are playing with frantic energy, which as great as it is to see, is not something they are not used to.

 

Great take!

I hope jbb doesn't get out adjusted coming out of halftime.

 

Even if Steph comes back, he's going to be hobbling.

That looks like a mean hyperextension...

 

I hope he killed his chance of playing in the series again. We gotta win this game

 

Lol exactly what I was thinking.

First half could have been much worse. We need to:
- take care of the ball. Lots of dumb TOs.
- knock down some shots. Especially the open 3s!

Keep up the hustle and defense. Beasley is important to our offense so keep him in most of the half, Dmo not as good as last game so Beasley can take his minutes of Dmo comes out weak. Harden=superstar, keep it up but I hope he doesn't get too winded. I like most of what I've been seeing this far.

 

If we can get hot from 3 for 1 half

 

Can someone tell me why DMO crisco-s his hands? He fumbles EVERYTHING

On top of that - if he steals the ball he passes the rock to the Warriors ?

Why? Why?

We could be up 8 pts

 

Rockets secret weapon: have Dmo fall all around the 3 point lines and make it slick with sweat for Curry

 

Just give me one more win rockets! Just one!!!

 

Knee hyperextension probs

 

if Howard can have the same level of IMPACT in the 2nd half of the game
