ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 2/23/2019

Imagine if CP actually stays healthy on a title run, and the media puts an asterisk on the championship since the Rockets got "lucky" with his knees not crumbling.

 

Yeah it was. That was my most enjoyable game this season. I wouldn't have said that when we lost our 20 point league and almost lost the game, but the fight to the finish made all the ups and downs worth it. Nothing more satisfying than beating those arrogant guys on their home court.

 

LOL

 

Oh then we agree. I saying tucker should be on the bench. I think that what u just said too. I love tuck. But he plays to many minutes

Wait how are we at more risk. U do know we had no one that would dribble shot pass behind cp3...aye austin puts us in a lot better position to rest cp3 when people get fully back

 

Guys, they've done this a hundred times already this season. They're zero excuse, but they are going to drop an inexplicable game to a below-500 team after an impressive win. It's just who they are this year. They show up against the good teams and don't have enough principle to try against the trash teams. It reminds me of last year's OKC team.

My favorite 2 moments from last night Curry flopping then crying for foul


And the X-factor

 

Not to devalue the rockets win. It’s still a great win against a dominant team. Not sure if anyone pointed out this fact: the warriors are 8-11 against the top 5 teams from each conference. The rockets should be right there if not better than the warriors if they beat all they teams they were “supposed” to beat e.g. Nets,Pelicans, wolves, clippers etc.

 

Roy Rogers got pretty pumped about the air balled free throw.

 

Thanks... had to go back and watch the double fist pump

 

“What did [Andre Iguodala] say about the series last year? If he would have played, they would have swept us? Then he must be the X-factor,” the 33-year-old Paul told Yahoo Sports in a slight verbal jab at Iguodala, who missed the final four games of last year’s West finals with a leg contusion. “That’s the punchline you needed, right?”

Nice.

 

Rivers is a really good perimeter defender. I am going time to hate losing him and Varied after this season. Morley has got to find a way to sign these guys. Shoe deals?

There is something to be said about continuity and I don't know if we can keep turning 40% of the roster every year and still get better.
