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

Don't be a Stooge.

 

We'll be alright though, just sucks we got the Warriors.

We learned a lot though, things we would not have learned had we not made the playoffs. I think we all lost a lot of trust in Jalen moving forward for one...think we learned that Amen and Bari in particular are not scared of the big lights. Sengun we learned that he might be a guy, that he too at least isn't scared, Sengun just has to sharpen his game to take the next level...

And we still have a lot of assets and we could hopefully get a top 10 pick this coming week.

It just sucks we lost to the Warriors.

 

Yea not
Gonna lie if we give him some
Of
Those brooks and Sengun shots we maybe win the game lol

 

GSW changed their defensive game plan. They started blitzing Fred on the pick and roll.

Fred was literally the only one generating offense outside of Sengun in the first half. We didn't pay Fred that money so that he could be our offensive superstar. That was supposed to be that bum Jalen Green

 

I get that, I really do. I felt like the Rockets had a good chance to win tonight after what I saw from them on the road in game 6.

Unfortunately, Buddy Hield and Draymond Green stepped up offensively tonight, and the Rockets sucked offensively as a team.

 

one is the greatest shooter of all time, the other a key cog in winning 4 championships. They can do those things.

eason cannot and does stupid **** at the WRONG time. Every game.

 

I thought he retired before the series started?

 

I’m so pissed off because this GS team FCKING SUCKS

They’re trash!!!

How can we not beat this franchise?

Steph with an injured thumb on his shooting hand…Jimmy Butler with a bruised booty

look at who else they play:

Podz aka Sideshow Bob…the reanimated corpse of Kevon Looney…Kuminga aka Jalen Green with a lot less talent…Post who looks like he should be doing Geek Squad at Best Buy…Draymond who shoots like he has a backpack on and has hooves for hands

we let Buddy Hield drop 33 points tonight…this dude had scored 36 points TOTAL in the previous 4 games

we even had 21 free throws to their 9

 

Well, ****.

at least I have my life back instead of stressing about these ****ing nba playoff games. I suppose that’s a consolation prize

getting too old for this ****, one of these days I’m gonna learn.

 

The Warriors Front Office and Assistants are Top Notch. Replacing Gary Payton for Buddy Hield opened up shots.

Rockets players gave up on Ime Udoka it looked like. Players don't listen to Ime.

 

Less Than 5 ft. 22 35 62.9 %
5-9 ft. 16 37 43.2 %
10-14 ft. 8 19 42.1%

and less than that 1v1 vs Draymond / Looney

 

Look its simple to me.

We can't build around a player who disappears in big games. We already tried it with Harden and it didn't work for a decade. Jalen is not that guy and we now know who we need to get rid of. A lot of this series was the Rockets fighting and winning DESPITE Jalens performance.

 

As far as I'm concerned Amen is hands down the guy the team needs to build around. He better go into the off-season and work on his jumper. This guy has it. When you look into his eyes, you know he wants it. Unlike the other 2. Alpi wasn't bad, but this game, but Jalen had that James Harden, let Manu Ginobli block me from behind stare. Like hot potatoes I don't want the ball look!

 

Jabari is a
Shooter. But you wouldn’t know that since we don’t really look for him lol

 

I don’t think they suck but I get what you’re saying. Certainly the most beatable version we have played but it’s also the boogieman

the ghost of James harden still lingers around this franchise and the fans

 

Steph wasn't an allstar until 25.

You're comparing a known career with an unknown one.

Would you call Isiah Thomas a bigger winner than Jordan in 1989?

 

And gave the "Nighty Night" to the crowd. I'm not mad because I kind of saw this coming. That 3-1 hole was just too much to overcome.

 

Yeah man I feel you. I wish the Rockets would grow some balls and show up one of these years. We will never play GS in the playoffs again watch. We will never beat them with Curry.

 

Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun need a Therapist and Sports Psychologist.

Jalen Green - Scared to shoot, Personal Life is in shambles. Jalen no doubt won't leave the Apartment, GF will leave him anyway.

Jalen Green needs to make Basketball 1st over anyone or anything.

Alperen Sengun scared to shoot Free Throws.

 

Bro Smith isnt him. Man cant dribble for **** and refuses to shoot when passed the ball. Hell he even got clamped up by curry of all things
