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

yeah Amen guarding Ant just like Ausar guarding Bronson

 

This team has been on the ropes so many time this year and they've almost always gotten back up. To the point of getting back up being the emblem of their success. Awesome.

 

Desperate times, stupid measures...

 

Y’all stop crying about the refs. They’ve mostly been a non factor this series.

 

I'm not celebrating until we win game 7 and see Kerr crying to the refs after the buzzer.

 

The great man has woken up from a slumber. FVV and Adams have the heart of a champion.

 

Honestly, if you just put him in the corner as a 3&D guy right, now he would be perfect. Issue is the Rockets don't have enough players with a handle, so he has to drive some.

The issue is how the Rockets are getting him the ball. They need to be running if off a double screen dribble hand off with a back side action. It opens up way more space and allows him to get inside the 3 point arc with more speed. The PnR is not working that far out and he is not accelerating like he needs to because is thinking too much about the spacing and angles.

 

There was a dummy on here that said making FT’s isn’t as important as going to the line. Smh

 

I think it would have especially vs a team like the warriors who are small. Now I can't displace the fact Adams is a vet, but the high low action would've been there. Still could super size with Jabari at the 3. It works I'm telling you. The only reason it didn't work in Memphis is because he's setting screens 30ft from the rim and he still grabbed 9 rebs in those limited minutes.

 

Coming back from 1-3:
1995
2015
2025 ?

 

@Scarface enjoyed hearing you on the playback. Good story on the advertising.

 

rockets gotta kill the old champ Apollo Creed warriors. the new era is here.




rip carl weathers.

 

The Rockets have a great chance of knocking GS out of the 1st round.

Go Houston Rockets for the final win!

Houston must come out of the gates quickly in the 1st quarter by setting up their defense. GS is vulnerable when they can't shoot the ball.

love it

 

If they actually pull it off, that should be a t shirt.

 

Steven Adams made Steve Kerr look silly trying that "hackaAdams" nonsense. I almost felt bad for him. That's always a sign of desperation. When I saw him start that I knew right then in that moment that the Rockets had made it. They are a legit contender.
