Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green ~= Andre Iguodala (this season’s version) and Jordan Bell. Eric Gordon shot 2-for-freaking-14, and 0-9 from 3. Next.
Welcome Warriors fan I am from Bay Area and I know how you feel. My friends are proud of them Warriors and they are still heavy favorites. But why must you defend them here? They lost because games happened. What is full strength? Did Warrior miss a starting 5? Is their best player coming back and on 2nd game back? Did the 6th man of year shot o for? What the best back court in the universe shot poorly while Harden and CP3 shoot lights out? Stop it already
OP IS A JOKE Harden is nowhere near 100% Ariza makes the defense better Gordon had one of his worst games - he's 25 pt. capable Ryno made no shots practically It was an even game in terms of shortcomings, which makes it a totally valid win
1) Iggy > Ariza..................That’s true if (Iggy) 23% (3P%), DRtg 108, ORTg 109, age 34 is > (Ariza) 38% (3P%), DRtg 108, ORtg 117, age 32 I don’t think so Casspi = Gerald Green ............Casspi: 6.8 pts/ game, 4.4 Rbs, 0.3 (3PM/ game), 0.5 (3PA/ game) Gerald Green: 15.6 pts/ game, 3.2 Rbs, 3.4 (3PM/ game), 8.2 (3PA/ game) No contest Green > Casspi 2) We don’t go by 36-min projected numbers here on Clutchfans. Capela (per 36-mins): 19.9 pts, 14.7 rbs, 1.5 ast, 2.4 blks, ORtg 127, DRtg 102 Bell plays 14 mins a game...don’t project him out to 36 mins or 48 mins. He may be dead tired at 26 mins. 3) Excellent defense caused Klay and Steph to shoot bad. Harden wasn’t 100% healthy. Nice try; but you have to bring more next time. Stats per basketball-reference.com
And RYNO didn’t make a 3 either. And Ryno was my proclaimed x-factor to giving the Rockets the edge against the Warriors.......I still believe Ryno needs to shoot well But last night’s game gave me confidence that the Rockets can beat the Warriors in spite of an off shooting night by Ryno
OP, what is the point of this trash thread? cut the bull****, this was a great win so annoying how a win against GS doesn’t have any merit at all unless they’re 100% healthy and playing at NBA finals intensity...anything short of that and the excuses and caveats start flying
