ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/28/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

I think the dirty screen is why he received the technical foul on the play. It was a cheap shot from the league's greatest cheap shot artist.

The Warriors set a lot of illegal screens. Podz actually pushes you and extends his arms on every screen. Quintin Post hip checks you. Somehow the Rockets were called for more illegal screens than the Warriors.

 

I don't agree with everything you said but I want Steven Adams to knock Draymond unconscious.

I don't think too many non-Warrior fans would be upset with that.

Also, I'd like someone to take a shot at Podz. He plays dirty as well. He just is too weak to cause a lot of injuries.

 

Can someone please embed the video of Jimmy Butler actually choking Dillon Brooks and then pushing him down?

That was not called a foul. I believe choking should be a foul.

 

GODDAMMIT SILAS I'm out here agreeing with Lakers fan accounts on Twitter now

 

Lol not taking it with me to another day, no worries.

 

Seems to me you can't let it be a close game where the refs will put the warriors over the top.

Have to play physically and build a big lead....

Jalen needs a reset... bring him off the bench.... Ime coaching terrible too. You're a coach Ime. Your job is making adjustments.

 

We will never beat the Warriors. It’s clear.

 

Why even touch him ?

 

That is where the game turned. Hack a Adams has never worked. He is a vet who’d of made at least one of two and given us much needed points (had a 4 point lead) and defense and put us in the bonus for the last 4 minutes of the game. He choked as a coach and made it worse by calling a timeout and bringing Jabrari in cold off the bench to heave a contested 3 point fg. Adams was playing a fantastic 4th and dominating!!!

 

Happy to see Stone at the game. He created this mess by his hires and zero trades at the deadline when we were one player away. Wasted the second seed.

 

Yeah. Sengun himself I can't remember how many times he's called for things like that. Definitely need to be smarter especially the refs are not on our side

 

Ime has done this in all 3 losses. I keep asking if there's a minutes restriction with Steven, cuz otherwise I don't get why he takes him out of the game right in the middle of the Rockets going on a run.

 

Totally agree with you. No offense system. Apparently little player development. Udoka is the problem. Unfortunately we are stuck with him. Front office needs to force him to take an offense assistant head coach. Otherwise we will have much less win or even miss playoffs next season. Look at the west, who can we beat in a seven game series?

 

Some things in this universe we just can’t explain. Dark matter, dark energy, black holes…

Add to the list that Houston just can’t beat Golden State. It’s like a physical law at this point like gravity.

 

We've missed double digit FTs in these last two road games. That's unprofessional.

 

Jalen played 7:02 minutes last night in the fourth quarter, here are his stats:

0 points
0 rebounds
0 assists
0 blocks
0 steals
0 turnovers
1 Personal foul


How can anyone defend this?

 

I’m talking about his stupid antics that don’t help the team and his overrated defense.

 

The NBA needs to modify its rules to get cleaner games.

• Intentionally fouling a player who doesn't have the ball should result in 2 shots, by any player, and ball possession. Though it will never happen, a technical should also be assessed to the head coach for even making such a request of players. It's unsportsmanlike and not a basketball play.
• ANY foul upgraded to a flagrant one should be counted as a 2nd personal foul on that play. As it should be, flagrant 2's are automatic ejections.
• If, after a game, a foul is reviewed and considered flagrant or excessive, that player begins the next game with a personal foul already assessed. They will only have five remaining in the next game.

 

I don't think anyone is defending it.

 

The ex grizzlies coach is top notch at developing and having an offense
