ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/2/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

Alpi should be the zone buster on this team. If he has the ball unguarded at the FT line, Rockets should be in good shape. Alpi has to hit open shots. His face-up game is pathetic.

 

Then there's the ref factor.

Warriors phantom calls is good for an automatic 8 points/game

 

They're really into 'Playoff Jimmy'

 

Could we actually hunt Curry and try to get that 4th or 5th foul? Other pro teams would do this.

 

He can be on the court for 3 minutes at a time, if he doesn't make a shot during those minutes or makes a dumb defensive mistake, to the bench he goes

That's how I'd play it

 

You even can see when he doesn't try it because he knows he won't get the call and passes it back out. I honestly think he games it based on where the referees are positioned and their vision. When he was younger he would never pass out when he was on the block.

 

Somehow Green has the highest +/- of the game so far at +7.

 

Give him a couple catch and shoot 3s. Hes so much better at that than trying to creat his own shot right now. Hopefully that can get him going.

 

Hes missed 25 of those this series. Crazy.

 

Guy, it's NOT the 3-point shot. It's the 8-12 foot uncontested shot that he misses multiple times each and every game.

 

No matter how this second half ends, it's been an honor gentlemen.

 

They need to put Bari in that position and Alpi to the right or left of him - just tell Bari don’t dribble lmaooo

Tari is decent in that position cause he shoots it every time

 

Yeah, Harden era player. Like the rest of the Warriors. I hate them so much.

 

Other teams have coaches that realise offense is a part of the game.

 

It's his biggest weakness. Basically, if Alpi can't back a guy into the paint he can't score or will try all these BS shots like this silly FT line hook shot he tried to win the game with.

 

It would be hard. One Curry foul was loose ball on Sengun, and one Amen was kind of lucky as Amen was already losing balance and falling. Would require Amen taking him off the dribble with Green being so off this game.

 

that’s why we need to win by 10. That’s the only way to stave off their refs.

 

He's top 3 in basically every category so far statistically and his defense has been good. His offense has to get better, but the other stuff has been pretty solid. Still. He needs to step it up.

 

Sitting by a lot of closet Rockets fans…

 

I wouldn't have put them in the same sentence if they both weren't ******** the bed. Sengun missed his last 6 shots and 3 of them were 5 ft wide open shots.
