ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/4/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

You do not let Curry go off. period. Rockets need to put this away early.

 

Most game 7 goes pretty close till one team just dominate and suck out all the spirit out of opponent team. Looking at our young squad we need to be in the driver seat from the start.

 

My flights keep getting delayed

Think I’m gonna miss the first half

 

This game should start at noon.

 

I liked the Jalen on Curry, Amen on Jimmy scheme they did in the 4Q last game. Can't do it all game, but as much as you can

 

This game is setup for Jalen to make a huge statement. He is usually pretty good against the Wolves so we need him to get out of the funk he is in right now, also Fred will be heavily guarded leaving Jalen little more room to operate so I’m expecting huge game from Jalen and Dillon tonight

 

Yeah in spurts i think it is good. I still like Brooks on Butler "in theory" better but Butler can just drawer a foul at will on dillon.

 

First!

 

Ime and coaching staff better be ready

be ready to quickly adjust but be smart watch out for kerr's tricks

the players need to keep playing mart, focused, poised

kerr, donkey, butler, and steph will resort to anything in order to win so should the rockets

 

I feel like this one's coming down to Fred and Alpi tbh, I'm not sure anybody else has the ability to keep us in the game when the chips are down. I'm super anxious, really hope we manage to close them out, I ****ing hate the Warriors.

 

Usually people mean it as a putdown when they say about another team, for them this is their championship.

But today it's a compliment. For these Rockets, and for us fans, this is our championship. To Golden State it's just another Game 7 over the umpteen they've had during their dynasty window. Now that window is closing. We will shut it for them.

Nary a thought in the world about round 2, or the rest of these playoffs. Kill these Warriors, and then do it again in another season's playoff matchup, and again, and again, and then we'll be even.

Until then, we demand more blood.

 

we’re due for a poor shooting game, need brooks and jalen to make their open shots tonight because vanvleet and tari likely regress back to the mean

brothers gonna try to get amen and adams in foul trouble while ignoring moving screens on the other end. this will be the hardest game to win till now

 

because adam silver

 

If you Comeback from a 1:3 you need to close this in your home game. I hope everyone is ready to fight this Warriors. It doenst matter who carry this game but anyone needs to do that! I hope Fred brings the performance like the last 3 games! Jalen needs to take responsibility! I hope the Rockets make this game not close! I hope also, that Ime take the right desicions!

 

Maybe if he got more sleep we wouldn’t miss some of the bunnies. Get your rest Aplhi!

 

Where y’all at?

 

Make layups, make free throws

 

Ime's use of the zone has saved the legs of the Rockets' guards so that they don't have to chase Curry all over the court. Playing zone has probably helped Fred's shooting legs. Now if we could just get Jalen on track and have Brooks provide stability (rather than chaos).

It should all come together for game 7.

 

I wonder (and hope) the Warriors are deflated. Their age. The injuries to Butler and Curry. Not being able to put away a young team and having to play a Game 7. Thinking about how hard a second and third round will be if the first round is this tough. Maybe, they just pack it in and think about resting their old bones in the sand on some private Caribbean island.
