ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/14/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 1)

This series we are America's team. Experts picking gsw. The world doh is sending the rockets positive vibes. Remember that people..who wants to see the warrior win another title...believe in ur team, God's plan

 

Besides not that i think we gonna lose, but we get lebron next year if we do lmao. So if we don't win this year next a lock. Lol. But like I said this is our year

 

How are the Cavs Celts playing Sat when our series ended before theirs?! It's not fair!

LeBron. LeBron LeBron!

 

Finally the NBA Playoffs officially begin.

 

gonna be in the nosebleeds yelling me head off

 

They are playing Sunday, not Saturday.

 

Warriors heavy favorites to win the series, but Rockets favored by 2 points Game One last I heard.

 

Andre Igoudala is the problem for the Rockets. He defends Harden pretty well.

 

That's what I meant. At 230. Question remains.

 

Lots of time to rest....good for both teams.

DD

 

Looking forward to Green and Tucker getting into it.

 

Houston in 4

 

The idea being pushed that the Rockets are "talking trash" is flat out hilarious. Because...Capela should have said "You know what, we aren't better than Golden State!" Also...I don't even know how "being obsessed" with a team is considered trash talking. To me, that's about as big of a compliment as you can pay a team, to say that your team was built to be able to play with the Warriors.

I know you want to build the series up as much as possible...but my word.

 

It's not that the Warriors are better but the officiating favoritism.

 

I get this sneaking suspicion that one of these seven games is going to be an ALL TIME playoff classic...maybe 25-30 lead changes, at least one overtime period, and/or a dramatic buzzer beater. These two teams are so talented, so deep, so poised...two well oiled machines whose parts are all fully functional. If we're going to get at least one instant classic in this series, why not in game 1? Let's start this thing off with a BANG!

 

THIS.
i would traded 0-2 start against them for the fair officiating in the next 4-5 games

 

Any way to limit their shooting efficiency similar to what Boston did to Ridick and Belinelli? Those two ran haywire in the prior series. Not so much against the Celtics defense.

 

It's time for the Rockets to start clicking on all cylinders and roll!

 

Harden has been 'under the weather' and needs the rest/

 

Wow, GSW fans are truly unbearable and entitled AF. Of course you can find "normal" fans anywhere, but on goldenstateofmind they are few and far between.

This is taking "homerism" to another level:

Klay will be a huge factor in this series

Will he be able to slow down Harden? By the way, according to stats, () Klay haven’t fouled Harden since 2006. Was that high school or college days? Even so, it’s a pretty good feeling that Klay is being praise as one of the best two way player outside Kawhi Leonard (Let’s be real here though, LeBron’s two way is declining).

Aside from Klay vs Harden, CP3 vs Steph will be amusing to watch. Both matches will interesting and exciting. Can we say that this match up will determine on who’s the best SG and PG in the league or is it too much? Nevertheless, as much as I’m bummed that the Jazz didn’t win (well, there’s not much a chance as they are missing Rubio and Exum) this series is still exciting to watch. I won’t predict anything but just looking forward for the fun and joy to watch this two high offensive teams go against each other.


Wow...
