ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/20/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

you can’t do anything in the game, short of intentionally fouling every possession if the game’s already out of reach — basically making a spectacle of the game for the world’s media to report on

same concept after the game, force all media to report what transpired. ie. recall every bs call in excruciating detail and then question who exactly benefits from said blatantly egregious calls, all the while inferring silver, and further inferring that should he retaliate with fines then we must be getting warm and clearly the shoe must fit. also call for a congressional hearing and make that wh0re sweat for his job in the public eye under oath

 

Draymond defends him well...Jalen Green will need to be locked in and finally live up to his #2 pick status.

 

Terrible comparative...T-Mac couldn't get out the first round.

 

prediction: dillon and draymond get in a fight game one. both get ejected.

 

Just bought my tickets for game 2!! It’s been way too long. Can’t wait. Section 112. Let’s do this.

 

Refs can be as blatant as possible and nothing will ever happen. Some complaints on social media that eventually die down. The world keeps spinning. Just what the NBA wants. Nothing happens. Nothing will happen. "It is what it is".

 

This young team would really benefit from a sold out Toyota Center.

They won't have the refs on their side.

 

It will be poetic if this rebuilding, over performing, 2 seed out of nowhere team manages to kill the warriors.

I still don't think the rockets have arrived as contenders . But man would it be sweet to send GS home

Draymond and Steph to the retirement home

 

Adam Silver was in the same meeting with David Stern when the FBI went to them about investigating the refs for widespread corruption. Donaghy was going to wear a wire and go undercover to incriminate his colleagues including Scott Foster, who he had called 134 times before games he "fixed". Stern and Silver immediately went to NY Post outting Donaghy as a renegade ref and blowing up their entire investigation. Those FBI agents say Donaghy was just the tip of the iceberg and they regret not keeping it under wraps. Years later Adam Silver has partnered the NBA with every big casino and is now in bed with every sportsbook in Vegas.

Anyway go Rockets.

 

I’m happy we got GSW. Those series form last decade always left a bitter taste. I’ve always wanted us to beat the Curry Warriors before retired. I wouldn’t be mad if we matched up with the warriors until Curry retired.

 

deserves its own thread

 

What's the over/ under for Draymond committing a flagrant foul on Amen while he locks up Curry? I going with 1st quarter game one.

 

**** them up!

 

Wuck! The Forriers!!!

 

Last game it was fun watching amen locking up curry and green hunting curry on offense.

 

If we hold them to fewer points 4x

 

I think Rockets will win in 6 or 7

 

Being an underdog should motivate them!
