ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 12/1/2016

Vegas has GS favored by 10.5 points. I agree, blowout. Will play it in the background while I do other stuff.

GS does a good job defending Harden. Klay is a good, disciplined defender, and they always have guys hawking/lurking Harden on the drive. They shadow him and I think they were the first to start doing it which causes Haren to turn the ball over so many times against them. They understand even Klay, one good defender, is not enough for Harden so they all chip in and make his role difficult.

 

I am cautiously optimistic.
Don't expect a win but hoping they can keep it competitive ala the Cavs game.

 

Haven't beaten them in the regular season for like three years. That won't change tonight.

 

Bracing for impact!
Crash & burn type of game.

 

Yea...expecting a total blowout. Anything close would be a nice surprise. A win is not expected at all but would be a welcome miracle.

Either the Warriors would need to have an off-shooting night and/or the Rockets have to band together to play a near perfect game...for a win outcome.

One thing I do like is the Rockets may have a bounce back game because of the Utah game where they pretty much got smoked. But, it may not mean much facing the Warriors.

All I ask...surprise us in a positive way, Rockets. Don't roll over to the Warriors yet again. It gets old being exposed every time we play them.

 

This won't end well

 

Rockets haven't lost back to back so far this season. Why start tonight?

 

Harden goes for 50/20/20

 

Harden goes for 40+ and triple-doubly figures and we lose by 15+ with the game being a 3point fest. We will trail from start to finish

 

Durant is shooting 44.2% from 3 and 57% from the field.
8.4 rebounds
4.7 APG while only averaging 2.3 turnovers.
1.6 blocks and 1.6 steals

He will probably get the MVP

 

I mean we should lose but I don't think it's going to be some 20+ point loss like many of you think.

The rockets are the one team that can shoot with the Warriors from deep.

Harden usually plays very well against them, and the rockets have had a lot of success against teams with no rim protection so far this season.

These Warriors did get smoked by a lakers team that try's to play like us. This is def one of the toughest games the Warriors have played so far. They,ve had the easiest schedule so far Also.

They have more talent so I expect it to be a loss but I also think it will go like the Cavs game we're the rockets keep it close all game till the end and lose by 6-8 points which imo should be a strong building block for this team.

The Warriors like the rockets let every team for the most part go on runs and give the other team chances to get back in the game. The difference is they can always have KD or steph on the court. We can't playe harden 48 min.

Harden will be ready for this game though. It's on TNT against his buddies Durant and curry. He'll put on a show and want to prove he's the best of the bunch.

 

I'm gonna say:

Rockets 130
Warriors 150

At the end of the 3rd quarter.

 

I'd be disappointed if both teams combine for less than 100 three attempts tonight.

 

Keys to the game:

- Pray they miss their open jumpers.

 

Have another glass for me too please.

 

Well the Jazz shot 100% on us, the Warriors can't do better than that. No rim protection harden should feast.

 

Playing in Oracle AND the game is on TNT...I expect the full referee screw job

 

Blowout loss

 

We need Bev to beatdown on Curry

 

We get blown out by the 3rd quarter. 10 point game going into the half, it'll look like we're still in it. come 2nd half they will kill us easy. its not a shame losing to a great team like them. even tho durant is still weak for making them that much greater. Warriors 120-94
