ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/19/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 1)

Capela could be the X factor in this series.

 

This is true, especially since GS has gone small half the time. The lane and offensive rebounds are there. Unfortunately, any long GS defensive rebound also ignites a fast break.

 

Sorry but he has not made ALL of them.

 

Dwight's off. The rest of the team is pretty on. Once Dwight calms down a little bit, he'll be in play as well and we'll have an even stronger offense toolset.

 

Man, Dwight is so casual on offense. Casual passes, pics and other than PNR doesn't bring a lot...ON OFFENSE.JMO.

 

All we need from Dwight are rebounds, interior D, and lobs.

 

GSW is a lot softer defensively in the post than Clippers, but they are more disciplined as a team. We DO have a team full of slashers though salivating at the though of carving up Bogut and Lee. At the very least, no one is afraid of challenging either of them.

 

Yeah that's what I was just saying to my friend. Obviously the Warriors will make adjustments but it almost looks like the game is on easy mode without Deandre defending the paint.

 

It's a beautiful thing to see the Rox evolve into a focused ball club.

 

Good job by the bench the starters have to keep up the defensive intensity, the warriors defense thrives on steals just take care of the ball

 

The ESPN broadcast crew said he had the injection on the right knee. Josh rolled into the left knee.

Good start so far by the Rockets. They need to do better in transition. This 58% shooting won't hold up, so they have to maintain the lead through their defense.

 

lol thanks captain obvious. It just feels that way

 

2 ON BOGUT...KEEP FOULING

 

YES SIR...check and double check !

 

No team is playing out of their skins, mostly cruising. I'm worried when things go into overdrive later in the game the Rockets won't have the offense to keep up.

 

3rd on Bogut!!

 

I'm glad to get the second foul on Bogut but why does Harden dribble into the paint and then stop when he has the defense rotating?

 

3 ON BOGUT

 

3 on Bogut!

 

Keep it up, guys. Take out their bigs with fouls.
