ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/8/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

Taken KD out, and they are garbage, so you are trying to belittle Splash brothers, then they are no different from role plays?

 

I feel bad for Harden. He showed up. Curry shooting 2-8 and 1-6 from 3 with only 5 total points and we are getting our teeth kicked in.
Ouch.

KD is carrying this team, IDGAF Curry is not a top 10 player anymore.

 

Don't lose anybody to injuries is all I am hoping for now. MDA can think about game 6 now.

 

That's shocking.

 

He has to be incredibly frustrated. CP3 and Capela are doing absolutely nothing right now. Gordon is actually trying but he looks like a chicken with its head cut off. Rivers is a steady presence but he cant hit a jumper to save his life.

Harden has to put all of his energy in on offense again and its hurting his defense.

 

If we could take CP3's 40 mil a year and Clint's 10 mil or whatever, we could get some pieces to surround Jimmy with. Listen, I LOVE CP3 but everyone said when I was complaining that Jimmy was carrying the team during the season, who cares we only care about him during the playoffs...it's the playoffs. he's been an incredible player but father time catches us all. Hope he regains it but things don't look promising so far. Still time to flip the switch.

 

Chris Paul contract looks worse after every game

 

Chris Paul is aging so fast ...can't finish around the rim....needs to do more stop and pop....

 

Harden keeps passing the ball off then stops at half court.

 

Nene gave us good minutes. Just saying.

 

Let’s not give up hope. This is a team that blew a 31 point lead but we need focus.
No more wasted possessions where we dribble until late in the shot clock and then look lost. We need to be ready to hustle back immediately everytime there is a change in possession. And REBOUND REBOUND REBOUND!

 

Hopefully the other players' shots come back to life.

 

Warriors are trapping and doubling Harden every time.

The Rockets can't make wide open shots otherwise this one would be tied at the half despite all the explosive fireworks by the Warriors.

 

Harden needs to have 200% usage this 2nd half.

Can’t trust ANYBODY to do anything with the ball right now.

 

Rivers is a -27 and Curry is +18 with 5 pts. That is absolutely unacceptable, what the hell is Curry doing playing defense? Just attack him.

 

We should be down 20+. Could be worse. With any luck, we get it together in the second half, make it a game, and tough one out. Have to stop giving them second chance shots. Ramp up our defense.

 

Need someone else to step up on offense

 

no idea what you’re talking about, moving on...

 

I haven't seen anything blatant , but it wouldn't surprise me if the warriors are getting away with murder
