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

Charles is right. We just a bad shooting team. It’s been that way all year. Defense and rebounding can only take you so far.

 

More Jabari next half

 

lol. Yeah, Jalen can be disappointing, but there certainly have been dozens and dozens of bigger busts in NBA history.

 

Im thinking
Jalen Green, FVV and a Pick to Phx for Durant

 

This. Brooks is a terrible zone defender.

Just play straight man defense. Put Amen on Curry and have Fred sticking to Hield no matter what.

 

They've been cheating off of everyone but Curry for most of the series but clearly its not going to work this game. They have to cool off these guys.

 

We need points off turnovers. We need dunks to wake up the crowd. We need faster and more mobile offense.

 

That Golden State zone ends immediately if Reed Sheppard enters the game. We need a spark — offense is dead

 

The beginning of this 3rd is going to determine this game

 

I think ime made adjustments that he didn’t have to. Play the same rotation as in the last game and let Kerr adjust.

 

Ime panicked tonight. He started playing lineups we haven’t seen all year. Killed the confidence of Green early and is allowing Dillon Brooks to play who has lost Hield all night on the floor.

Ime is a great coach but he hasn’t been tonight.

 

We gotta get hot...

 

I feel like this half is Jalen's last chance to show us something. I'm probably wrong about that, this front office is afraid to murder its darlings. But I at least feel like it should be. You can't have one good game in a 7 game series and not show up on offense for the rest as a score-first shooting guard, no matter how the other team is guarding you.

Get it done Jalen.

 

The double big has not been good.

 

What the Hell can Jalen do against a Zone defense and getting hacked on layups.

Jalen or anybody else can't do anything.

 

It's simple. Hield hit buzzer beating 3. FVV made 2 poor choices on transition opportunities resulting in 0 pts.

It's a 5 pt game w/ those outcomes changing. I aint scared. Down 15 heading in to the 4th and I'll be scared.

Amen has that LBJ I-aint-gonna-let-us-lose mode turned on ala game 6 in Boston when he dropped 45/15/5 or when he scored 10 straight to start the 4th against the Spurs in G7.

It's happening. Whether we win, this game has at least toggled Amen's 'I'm the best player on the floor and there aint **** you're gonna do to stop me from carrying us.'

But plz plz plz win.

 

I’m watching Kenny’s bow legged ass.

 

Our home crowd probably the worst in the league.

 

Warriors are one of the best 3rd quarter teams in the league. So unless they have a massive meltdown, I don't see us winning.

 

FVV has been hurting us with his slow pace. I seem to be the only one that notices it.
