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

Moody and Podz are both mid-first round picks, so not too surprising for them to be decent. We would probably be overhyping them if they were Rockets. Actually, IIRC the Rockets really liked Podziemski and I wonder if they might not have taken him instead of Cam if he'd made it one more pick... hard to say. GP2 is of course a wiley veteran at this point.

The one that really gets me is Quinten Post. The dude looks like he belongs in the G-League and somehow Kerr's coaching made him playable out there, and actually a key part of their game 3 win where he killed us on the boards

 

I'm probably the only one here that remembers this well. DB flamed out two consecutive years at UO in March when the going got tough.

 

and the same has happened in memphis

and evidently the rockets too

 

The question would be: Why is a Non star role player supposed to save your team consecutively?

 

Surely didn't know he was playing for the Oklahoman University.

 

On those two UO teams, DB was the lead player, the first scoring option. He was considered their best player.

Against OU, he no-showed, but his team probably wasn't ready either. They were jittery and the moment probably got to them. The following year against UNC in the Final Four, he completely flamed out and choked like a dog in a game they should have won. Probably the most painful loss in UO basketball history. I have zero doubt they would have beaten Gonzaga in the Final. (Some here might remember UNC missing 4 FTs in the final seconds and getting the offensive rebound off both 2nd misses because Jordan Bell failed block out).

 

Dayum, then that Oregon team was screwed........you pray that Jalen Williams is your best player.

 

I'll make one more post on this.

Those Dana Altman teams were so fun to watch. He always had a cast of very diverse characters each year but he made them play tough, physical defense and unselfish offense. He's lost his touch so I no longer follow them closely.

Another thing about their Final Four run: Chris Boucher was hurt in the Pac 12 tournament final and missed the NCAA tournament. If he played, they would have rolled to the title.

 

Ready for next season!!

 

Crybaby Steve is still crying about the Rockets. What a ****ing b**** of a man

That little b**** Podz is also talking ****

These hypocritical assholes take every opportunity they can to cry about fouls and officiating WHEN THEY ARE THE DIRTIEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!

They have Draymond and their whole gameplan is based on setting moving screens for all their shooters. When will someone in the national media notice??

 

Might have to root for OKC.

 

Yeah, nah. OKC can get ****ed

 

Buddie the Clown

 

This motha****a....

 

Bow tie loved libraries, fashion and history. It didn't mean he wasn't a hired gun. Y'all wanna hear a joke? Just kidding

 

Only idiots think he's an angry black man. The rest of us understand that he's a calculating cheater who knows he's made man in the NBA's eyes, as Curry's bodyguard. He knows that he has complete immunity after a first tech, so he just pulls some dirty stunt that would get the other 99% of the NBA kicked off the court, and then after that he can yell and taunt and ragebait all the other players because he knows there will be no consequences.

The league changed in the 2014 summer. We all saw it happen. They officiated everything differently to orient the league in a way where a team led by Curry could win the championship. And it's still happening, just so they can draw the eyeballs for one last time.

 

A man or a donkey.....

 

we must not let this thread die
