ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/23/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

Game day my beatches!

LFG

Visualize a convincing win!

 

Bye Jalen.

 

Let’s go and f*****g win this!
Before game 1 I tried to be matured and logical, thinking that a playoff experience for our young core is all that matters. But after seeing Steph and Butler annoying smiles after their win, I say f*** experience - I don’t want the Warriors to win this series on our expense, even if they are more talented and experienced. Warriors fans feeling entitled and sure that they will win this and maybe have a title shot - f*** that!

 

100% Giannis demands a trade this off-season. He did what he had to do in Milwaukee, but I see him leaving.

Houston should trade whatever they can outside of Amen to get him.

 

I just don’t see us winning game 2. Like with the Lakers, you saw avenues on how they can win game 2. Fluke 3 pt shooting, Reaves and Bron were terrible, defensive mistakes. with us, can we expect Jalen and Fred to show up? Our shooting to get better? We are what we are. GS didn’t particularly play well either.

 

I can't see Curry and Butler playing any better(collectively at least). The Warriors could get off to a stronger start, but that's likely canceled out by the Rockets being nowhere near as horrendous again as they were in the 2nd quarter.

Fred absolutely could stink again. In fact, statistically speaking, he's almost certain to do so. But Jalen can't play any worse, Amen can't get off to as poor a start, and Tari should shoot at least a little better. And additionally if Ime gets more shots for Jabari, limits Fred's shots, expands the rotation to include Aaron, and utilizes the double(and triple) big lineup more, that opens up plenty of avenues for the Rockets to win this game.

 

I really hope you’re right. If we can win game 2, I can see us winning one on the road. I’m more confident of Jalen on the road than at home.

 

Lets remember the simple times when all we really had to look forward to was halftime shows.... We did it, we made it out!!!! With Severo Rockets can take the series.......

 

I agree that the poor game from Jalen and Fred was not that unusual, they were struggling vs. Warriors all season long (with the exception of Jalen’s game in our last win, he had a solid 21 pts performance). But Amen, Bari, Tari and even Brooks could definitely improve from their game 1 performance.

 

What do the oddsmakers see to give Hou -3.5 edge today? I love my Rockets but I do not trust this team right now.

If anything I would have expected GSW to have the edge especially after winning Game 1.

 

Udonis Haslem says we horny and ready hahaha I don't like that guy but that was funny



As he says, f the Warriors.

 

Where it all began. That very halftime. I'm not typically the sentimental type, but...

 

I took Golden State and the points. I think the Rockets win a close one. I also took Amen to get a double double.

 

We won the 1st and 3rd Q and had we still had our challenge when Draymond knocked the ball out of bounds, we won the 4th, as well.

imo, rockets fans are being a bit too negative. Warriors aren’t that good.

watch this for some positive reason why the Warriors offense has problems

 

This was the very night everything changed for The Rockets and cfans...

 

Steven Adams hoisting up 3s! Must be a new secret weapon lol

 

Old people remember where they were when JFK was shot or when they first saw their significant other. For this generation, it's Severo's Denver halftime show.

Obviously I remember it well. I was in my living room eating some chicken wings when I first learned that Severo would be performing that night. Little did I know how it would impact me. It changed me. I became a better man.

 

FVV causally 0/3 from 3s
Green 2/2

 

Sometimes I don’t get why FVV is in the NBA.

5’11 PG that shoots 33% from 3 and 36% from the field.

not the best passer or ball handler.

one thing he has is great eye hand coordination and strength.
