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

13pts in the 2nd quarter was gross.

 

Amen and Jalen need to get the butterflies out of their stomachs. They look shook.

 

fug that. i don't want an aging superstar.

get someone under 32 or bust.

 

We are being rope-a-doped.

Why are they running the offense through Sengun when the sh*t IS NOT working?

They are down by 13 at the half, so miss me with the “but he has the most points”

Offensive sets look clumsy and they are careless with the damn rock.

10 effin turnovers.

Not to mention the timeouts to check and see if Draymond touched the ball or not outta bounds.

 

There is no chance Cam plays unless it’s a blowout.

 

Yeah.... that'd be nice.

 

These are the two most important quarters of Jalen Green's life coming up.

 

or use the glass. See the Warriors.

 

34 points is an embarrassment

Rockets don't necessarily need flames starting the 3rd -- a slow grind can still win it.

I'll take a hot start though, don't get me wrong.

 

Thompson -13 with 2 TOs
Our ball control PG FVV with 2 TOs
Alpi with 3 TOs
Jabari and Eason -13/ -15

 

We desperately need guys who can create their own offense.

We only have Sengun who can do that but he cannot hit 3s consistently.

Off-season, we either improve by trade or we'll fall behind every team like the Kings and Grizzlies have.

 

Exactly. There's a lot of time left. They're going to figure things out. It might not be enough, but they'll get better playing in this environment.

 

I still feel confident

- Refs are bad, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player create as much contact as Jalen and never get a foul call. Just gotta stay aggressive and take more 3s
- Keep wearing them down. This old ass team cannot take our physicality much longer. I would up the physicality, setting the tone with a tech is fine imo
- Stop the turnovers

 

And he’s preening around like a damn sissy all the time. Whenever I see him playing with that mouthguard, I wanna reach out and smack him in his grill.

 

Ime only cares defense, like we can stop Warriors making any points with 5 defense guys.

 

gonna be our guys' "first series in the playoffs. give them time to adjust, we will be fine". positive thinking. look long-term. is that really fine?

 

Jabari played. He lost the ball repeatedly.

 

Really disappointed in Jalen. He improved so much this season, I expected more. He has to bounce back in the 2nd half.

 

Watching Family Feud on Game Show Network instead of the garbage that the Rockets are showing the whole world.
