ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/20/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 3)

According to Kenny, pick n roll only works in the first 20 seconds of the shot clock but not the last 15. How long does he think the shot clock is??

 

I dont get this mind set, they playing bad so dont call the fouls correctly? There will always be highs and lows, but the GSW do NOT need a ref advantage.

 

the league is still wanting a worrier vs cavs finals..they will try their best to make it happen...
but those missed layups man....no words...

 

i know! i think both teams will take care of the turnover problem in the second half. both will lock up the defense. where we can win is in the hustle stats like rebounding and 50/50 balls... and attacking the rim early in the shot clock so the role players can get some looks too.

if we do that we got a chance.

 

Nah, I just can't accept that. I hope they get blown out in the second half.

If they genuinely drop a winnable game in what is essentially the finals....


this will literally piss me off for years after the fact. Like how Spurs fans had to feel after 2013...

 

Barkley just saying to shoot within the first 7 -14 seconds of the shot clock. I agree with this

 

with marc davis, this was a scheduled loss from the start. i'd like to try to get ryno going for game 4

 

This is not a "winnable game". The Rockets are playing genuinely terrible. They would barely beat the Suns playing like this, much less the Warriors.

 

3rd is CRUCIAL....must weather the storm to stay in the game.

 

its not bad but not great. the warriors have played a very beatable game so far. it sucks that the rockets couldn't capitalize in the first half.

if we played our game we could be winning. if they played their game we'd be down 20.

 

Yep and I'm surprised he doesn't know it yet. Every time he drives to the rim I expect a miss.

 

and they got all the Refs too

Rocket River

 

yup! that's how you win this type of game. hang around!

 

I think it is spreading. The more we play him the more layups we will miss.

 

lol, he pretty much said theres 11 seconds where the pick and roll works and doesn't work at the same time. Kenny Smith stooping down to Charles' level of intelligence

 

I love Trevor but everytime he puts the ball on the floor the Warriors are smiling.

This is still our biggest flaw imo, we lack talent outside of our guards, those guys have Durant and Green (who is a great passer) playing the 4 and the 5, we have Clint, PJ/Trevor...all our guys in those spots can barely put the ball on the floor, they can't create a shot, they can't pass...i'm not whining because i like them all, and a lot actually, but yeah...

 

Reverting to game 1 bad habits

 

We make layups and we win...
11/28 on 2pt FG - 14 missed Layups
4/15 on 3’s
9/12 Free Throws

Warriors
16/30 on 2pt FG
4/19 on 3’s
10/10 Free Throws

We make less than Half of those blown layups and we go into the Half with a lead.

 

Get ready for the barrage of 3s from the Rockets to start the second half

 

Down going into the 3rd really makes me nervous.

You know they’re going to come out with their usual rhythm. We need to disrupt them around the paint and make ****ing layups.
