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

WE HAVE TO WIN THIS!!!!!
Can't stand green and his arrogance....as long as our young guys stay cool and not let them get under our skins, we should be good

 

cant wait, sooooo long till the game starts.

 

The Rockets are the better team and will win as long as the officiating is reasonable.

I don't think the Warriors whistle will be as favorable as it was against Memphis. We're a much bigger market than Memphis with some very marketable young stars.

I predict Sengun will average 24 and 13 and Draymond Green will be very angry about that.

Jabari Smith also will be a key factor and put up 16 a game on excellent efficiency. By the end of the series, posters will consider Jabari part of the core of the core.

Cam Whitmore will play some significant minutes and score 14 in a win.

Steph Curry will sprain an ankle when Tari Eason runs into him during a 3-point shot.

Finally, Ime will storm the court at one point to confront Draymond Green after another senseless violent act. Steven Adams will pull Ime away from harm. Draymond and Ime will both be ejected.

Rockets win in 7.

 

Warriors had the only close game in these play-ins.

So they're the worst winner, right ???

Probably Memphis was the best loser.

May the Lord bestow an evenly officiated series.

 

FVV wasn't a fan several years ago.

 

The Rockets created very good Solutions for this Warriors Team. I think the Rockets will win this 4:2.

 

Would be nice if he acknowledged our pain and said something along the lines of “I know they’ve had tough losses and the Warriors were the reason they didn’t advance, kept them from a title potentially in 17-18. And even if this is nothing like those teams, I will make sure we will win as a 2nd seed and the better team to show fans it’s not impossible. We'll get that monkey off their backs. We got you Houston”

 

Odds Amen and little Draymond get into a tussle this serious? 80%

Dillon Brooks and Draymond? 90%

 

The only long shot in your is Cam getting off the bench.

 

Wonder what the percentage is on Jabari

 

This definitely is a talking point we’ll hear often this week. But, I wouldn’t say this means much, because there just is not much history of NBA teams even making the playoffs without a star and experience.

It really is a small sample size of both young teams with no playoff experience and no “star.” ofc, since the East is sooo watered done, we see some, but even then, most are 7-8 seeds who rarely pull the upset, even with a star.

Now, heart of a champion advantages is a different story.

 

Scott Foster ....



Draymond Green intentionally kicks Steven Adams between the legs - gets NOT ejected!

 

Fred delivered in a finals against the Warriors. He has no connection to the Harden era
