ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/28/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 7)

This would be cool if we win. If not I’m sorry broski.

 

I’ve mentioned it every game.

He does it almost every defensive series in the paint.

If they aren’t calling it, then Houston needs to employ the same strategy.

 

Jason Terry:

Role players must step up. They'll need a repeat of game two. If I'm D'Antoni who doesn't like to adjust, I gotta try Joe Johnson. I gotta try Ryan Anderson. What is the Warriors weakness? Their bench. You gotta outscore Golden State because you're not gonna stop them. If they're gonna rely on James Harden dribbling 20 times a possession, they're setting themselves up for a blowout. Turnovers are coming from the over-dribbling. It's causing transition offense for Golden State. Klay Thompson, splash. If Chris Paul is on the floor & can catch & shoot, you have to honor it. ... I think it gets into the high 100s tonight. Houston has to play that pace. If they want to play half court iso ball, it'll lead to turnovers & Golden State will run out the other way. They need a high pace game in transition. 125, 115. 90s, it's not gonna happen. You've woken up a beast in Klay Thompson, Curry has found his wiggle & KD has had 2 off nights. He feels comfortable in Houston. He'll be ready to go tonight. He's very comfortable in that arena. 115-103 Warriors. Houston, don't kill me. I was a Rocket for two years. Warriors will win because Chris Paul will not be healthy.

 

Totally disagree. The only way for the Rockets to win this game is to stop them.

 

It’s bout to go Dine in H-Tine.

Houston is about to flip the script on all this BS Fake News!

 

where can i go to sell my soul to the devil to ensure a win?

 

I’ve had 2 Stella’s for breakfast. Maybe paced around the house a few times.

Not nervous at all.

 

Remember if we lose, we need to fire Dan Tony and trade Harden.

 

Probably one of the most frustrating things all series is forcing the switch. I get that we try and force the switch to our advantage, but by the time it happens, there's only 8 or so seconds left on the shot clock and the offense goes to crap from there. You have to do this in transition, push the ball up faster, or run a high screen and roll so there's more room to operate. It's so frustrating watching the shot clock go under 10 seconds only to see the Rockets not in any sort of offensive set. With that said, go Rockets! Destroy the Warriors, leave no doubt, no mercy.

 

Harden should spend time with Lebron in the offseason and find out what he's eating and what he's doing. If he had half the endurance of Lebron he'd go from being an MVP caliber player to an all-time great.

 

I think we'll get plenty of reminders around here somehow, in that case.

 

LMAO

 

Let me fix that picture for you brah.

 

The league wants Warriors VS LEBRON.

The refs will make sure that happens.

Even with a full heathly team it was up hill battle.

Without CP3 it is impossible to go 5 on 8 and beat them and the refs.

Not saying it can't be done but if the Rockets win then something wonderful happened and Houston, we have the finals.

Now could it be CP3 playing? Harden becomes Lebron like?
Or maybe tough defense and home court crowd turns the Warriors into pumpkins.

 

Rockets won two games keeping the Warriors under 100 points, no reason they can't do that again, and lol at playing Anderson and Joe, does Terry even know who's he talking about? Probably not just like other analysts.

 

Wonder what harden we get tonight

 

They will call it tonight.

 

We don't even need to keep them under 100 to win. We destroyed them in Game 2 because the supporting cast hit their open shots. When they bricked them in Game 5, we had to eek out a close defensive win with sub-100 scoring for both teams.

I know it sounds overly simplified, but the Rockets simply need to make their open shots. They're getting plenty of them. That includes Harden not going 0-11 from downtown again.

 

I am normally very optimistic but the Scott Foster news has sucked the soul out of me.
