    Amen Thompson just took Jimmy Butler out and he landed hard on his tailbone. He's out for the game. If he misses any extended time or is significantly affected by the injury moving forward, then you're right, this series is over....for the Warriors.

    This thread will go down as one of the most pathetic and wimpy threads in CF history.

    Imagine waving the white flag game 1 of a playoff series and laying down and groveling at the feet of Stephen Curry :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Or it could be the greatest anti-jinx thread in Clutchfans history

    Cant shoot fts -> 80%
    Cant shoot 3s -> 37.5%

    GSW played a mediocre game and destroyed us -> 15 pt beatdown


    "This team isn't a winning team"

    Keep crying
    Keep whining

    Rox may still lose the playoffs. They may go down 1-4 and be blown out the rest of the series. But having this little faith on the team and sloberring all over the Warriors is just PATHETIC.

    It is going to be over but in a more contested way and might go to 6 or 7.

    Depends on Curry's greatness and JG/FVV/Amen play.

    Bumping my own comment. The only way the Rockets win this series is if Jalen scores 30+. It doesn't really matter what FVV does.

    Better be careful being a doomer. People will correctly assume you're dumb, insufferable, or both! Any more victory laps when your favorite team loses and you might have to be forced to reevaluate yourself. Don't let the self awareness hit you on the way out!

    It will be over because of Green, he is obviously too inconsistent to lead this team this year.
    You can say growing pains or whatever, but its obvious he cant break thru it.

    Fred van Vleet also looks horrid. Being the leading scorer at 17, when sengun and jalen have 15, 9
    Just pure trash, and it shows.

    These 7 or 9 point games,

    Barkley just got on record saying that your top scoring sg cant do this
    or you wont win anything. You can tell he hurts the team.

    They will need to find some
    sort of consistent scorer in offseason and let Jalen come off the bench, because there going to be to the offseason real soon.

    I think we will win this series if we win game 4.

    So no, I don't think its over, but Ime needs to go back into his bench, play Holiday, and Sengun should hopefully play better.

    Ime isn't good enough - he needs to grow as a coach, he is too defensive oriented, and it is hurting this team.

    Oh yeah this is a 2nd round team at best I just don't think this Warriors team is that good, even with Jimmy. It's the thinnest roster in all of the playoffs and had Memphis actually been healthy with their young all-rookie player GSW is probably playing OKC and getting swept.

    I just don't think they are that good, they have some odd mojo against this team going for them, I mean Gary Payton of all players beat us tonight. I still think this Rockets team is the better team and if they simply play averagely they will win this season.

    They played one of their worst offensive games all year long tonight, missing layups, turning it over, missing FTs, that's game. They beat themselves tonight more than the Warriors beat them.
