ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 11/8/2014

whats with all the negativity? 'we gonna get blown out' ?!?!?!? Quit with the negative waves.

 

No Lee though, this is a game and was always going to be a game about Curry/Thompson vs Harden/Ariza.

If our back court and wing players outplay those two we have a good shot. Bogut can be neutralized. He's a presence in the paint though but we will play a lot of guys who have nothing else to do but frustrate him and not worry about fouls.

 

Quote me: Rockets will not get blown out. The improved Defensive rotations along with the Warriors being complacent due to Dwight being out will keep the Rockets close.

 

The flu still kills people all over the world every year.

 

Canaan is going off to night

and Harden is dropping 40+

 

hold on, let me join you

 

Rockets could win this with a pinky wag. The Warriors are pretenders. We still have more talent.

 

canaan, daniels, and jet need to go HAM on 3s tonight.

will be tough if we can't slow it down and play through dwight, golden state has alot of fire power...but i think it will be competitive.

 

Clint Capela with 0 pts 15 rebounds and 5 blocks,

Rockets 104 - Warriors 90

 

The frustrating thing about this is that the media will ignore the fact we are missing 3 starters along with Howard tomorrow. After the Spurs game, the headlines were "Rockets rout an undermanned Spurs teams." Tomorrow we will see "Warriors maintain dominance, beat undefeated Rockets."

 

The thing is, half of defense is getting rebounds and I have little confidence in any of our big men past Howard and Jones of being capable rebounders.

If there was a reason to keep Adrien, it was for his rebound prowess.

 

Pretty much lol, they will just say "See, the Rockets depth will be their main problem."

But if any team misses a superstar player they will have problems. Missing your superstar players is not a lack of depth. They can't be replaced. Period.

 

Ughh we have no decent bigs outside of Howard and TJ! Morey do something you idiot.

 

That's exactly what will happen.

 

Inb4 "Rockets pretenders: lose to contending Warriors team"

And not once in the article will it mention Beverley, Jones AND Howard were out of action.

^^^ wizard RocketsJumer

 

Or it can also be Rockets still undefeated :grin:

 

Good news is no hack a howard.

 

Would love to be optimistic about this, but no way we win this game w/o Howard in there, not against this team (unless they completely suck a** shooting tonight and thats hardly something I would count on regardless of how well our defense is playing...).

I McHale taking lessons from Pop on how to psychologically F with your opponents by sitting starters in important games ? Hmmm, no way Kev is that sharp, Dwight must really be sick as hell...

 

Fixed.

 

In the words of Aaron Rodgers, "Relax". We still got this.
