ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets @ 1/20/2017

I think this is a loss but Warriors might come out flat because of playing OKC yesterday.

 

I'm gonna say win. Just because. oh yeah, p.s., stay calm

 

James can beat up on weaker teams all he wants, but these are the games he needs to grab and impose his will and cement his MVP status.

They defend well on the perimeter, so should be a good test of the coaching staff also to see what we can do.

Edit: just got off the phone with Anderson, he's good to go. Also said he'll be bringing road ryno for this game.

 

We win this game. Another triple double from Harden.

 

let's win this for Westbrook, i feel for this guy, had a competitive team and your best teammate decides to join your enemy, so many douchbags on that GS team, durant, green, ZAZA

 

I like what DonKnock posted on page 1, and I'll toss in this - we beat the Warriors on their home court in a tremendous game, one of the best regular season games I've seen in years. If our shooters are on, James can control his turnovers, we hit our free throws, and don't forget to play defense, we can take them and will. Anderson is key. He needs to be healthy and he really needs to shoot like it's a road game.

Rockets by 3.

 

Durant dropped 40 on 13-16 FG and 5-7 from 3.
9-10 FT
12 Assists
4 rebounds
3 blocks
2 TO

VERY efficient game.

In his last 5 games he is shooting 61.4 FG% and over 55% from 3....5 assists, 8 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks. 28.4 points with 1.8 turnovers. He is a monster at the 3 and the 4. He can easily guard Ryan Anderson so when they go small it will be tough for the Rockets.

It took the Rockets a lot of luck and a 4-20 3pt performance from Klay last time who is on a tear from 3 lately.

 

Get Draymond in foul trouble and disrupt their interior defense.

 

Also, obligatory...

 

The Rockets played yesterday too. They blew out OKC by 21 and their starters played less minutes than the Rockets starters.

I am not sure why Mike doesn't rest his players earlier, but some of that may be Harden trying to get his triple doubles.

 

One one of the next 2 and I'm happy.

 

The nation will be watching

 

The Rockets have blown a lot of big leads lately. D'Antoni is probably just being cautious. He also brought Harden back into the game a couple minutes earlier than normal in the 4th quarter last night. But that wound up working out.

 

Great game, sadly, I´ll miss it. We are 1-4 when I´m not watching. Apologies in advance.

When they control the paint we have a hard time, but we fought them hard, I hear the team is motivated, and when they go centerless and we can go with Ryno at the 5, boom, bombs away.

Let´s get the W guys!! The warriors are really annoying.

 

uh? This game is tomorrow, not back to back fool

 

Tell curry to bring that 2015 MVP trophy and hand it to the beard.

 

Gonna be like a playoff game
Winner gets bragging rights

 

Durant goes off, drops 40 on us.

 

Its a win
Harden drops 40-15-11
Gordon chips in 28
Capela and Trezz go nuts in the paint
Lets go Rockets!!!

 

low scoring game: rockets 135 to warriors 130
