ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/30/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Ime already has that covered…we’re prepping for game 6

 

What do you think we're doing differently schematically? Or are the players just playin better? It looks to me like we're initiating the offense faster.

 

Looks like the Warriors decided to mail it in tonight. Play them even in the third and the game is over.

 

Can the league score this as like 1.5 wins? We could really use the extra credit.

 

We are hot with the shooting but we are also playing more relaxed everywhere. This team can beat GSW 3 straight

 

F YEAH, KEEP IT UP!

 

This is why in the first game I said it was a mistake to over correct when Steph got a few paint points. That's not Steph's game, so what if they get points in the paint? It's not their game.

Belichick won a handful of rings by doing one thing. He said his main goal was to make the opposition do what they are not comfy doing. So if it's a passing team, you make them run.

You take away their 3 point shooting, MAKE them come inside, they are going to struggle scoring because it's not their thing.

IDGAF if Curry is hitting fall away impossible 3 point shots, they can't beat you with that consistently. They can only beat you with that if it's a close game and he starts chucking up his BS shots. If you're up 20, who cares if he's making those?

 

Kenny with the stray at Mad Max…

 

At this rate, we might even see Reed and Cam tonight.

 

**** you Kenny for throwing shade at Mad Max

 

I feel like this is the pace Rockets like to play in, which is the fast tempo run and gun

 

What did Amen say to those kids in the front row? Did he say "Bow bro"???

 

48 bench minutes for GS among 5 players already...35 for us BTW.

 

Amen stopped acting like a nervous rookie and has completely taken GSW out of their rhythm with his supernatural defense--which allows us to run and gun.

Also we're hitting our f*cking free throws

 

Beautiful first half! The third Foul if Alpi was a little bit stupid. He is ging for a triple double!

 

Let's not get crazy, Ime is still the head coach.

 

The zone has helped, they are not overplaying Curry anymore.

Amen has arrived, he's slowly been getting into this series and now he's 100% here now. This is the Amen we've been raving about all year long and it changes the game because now suddenly your main scorer has to work his ass off to even get up a bad shot.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Kerr pulls the plug early tonight to rest Jimmy and Curry

 

They need to come out of the half time gate like it's tied and play like they need to win the quarter.
