ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/18/2016 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

An extra pay day to buy a new sports car or 20k watch.

 

I think we can take at least one game at home. A sweep will be worst than making the pkayoffs!!

 

It's going to be a sweep these guys don't give a f.

 

Not making the playoffs.

 

Morey's incentives are the same, unfortunately. They are addicted to the gloss, not to the team.

 

So when do game 6 tickets go on sale?

 

Glad I went to bed early. I knew by half we weren't going to win that game. This team is gutless. Get rid of all of them. I don't care any more.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and i stayed up until GSW made their last run in the 4th. Rockets made it interesting cutting it to 3 and then BOOM, 10-0 run by GSW, and i went to bed. I dont see myself watching the last 2 games of the series.

Season just needs to end already.

 

Glad I didn't stay up to watch the end of that. Giving up 56 points in the paint is flat out ridiculous.

 

We have Dwight though... and Josh Smith. Leadership is terrible on this team.

 

wow, bleacher report getting in on the Haren theme. we've sunk to a new low.

 

WHat you have to remember with the Rockets this year is there is no such thing as rock bottom. There is always a lower low. There is no end.

 

In the beginning of the game, DMo, Bev, Ariza were all engaged and focused. Limited yes, but you can definitely see they WANTED to compete and they tried. I did not like Harden's body language at all - looking for referees, looking at teammates for own missed defensive assignments.

Warriors will probably try to sit Curry the rest of the series. If the current Rockets team have any pride, they should throw everything at the Warriors in game 3 at home.

But, there might be basement below the bottom.

 

Shake it up. Roll out with Goude, Beasely, KJ, Montrez, and Capella.

Their only mission - Drive on everything and collapse on everything.

 

Have we ever seen a team die like this?

 

I apologize for saying the team is "gutless". They can't help it. They are just not very good. I understand they are trying out there. It is what it is.

Curry can sit the rest of the series and the Dubs would still sweep. I hope Curry plays because it would be more embarrassing when we do lose 3 games in a row to the Warriors w/o Steph.

 

Kelvin Cato had my more heart than this team. You'd have to go back to the early 80s to find a team this hard to watch.
