ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/20/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

What an asinine statement. Anyone defending Jalen Green this game is a complete and utter JOF. Ridiculous. Yes, Ime sucked. Amen missed dunks and layups, but Ime FVV and Jalen lost this game for us. No more excuses. If he plays like this the rest of the series it is time to cut bait.

 

Jumbo lineup needs to play the whole game.

 

The issues with Durant are that:

1. He would have to be okay load managing until the playoffs.
2. Even then there is more likelihood he gets hurt during the playoffs given his injury history since the Nets/Bucks series a few years back.
3. He could be a go to scorer on this team for maybe 1 season? No one should be betting on 2 seasons.

And even with all those issues, Durant only doesn't make this team a contender. He just gets them to the 2nd round, maybe 3rd round with a good playoff bracket draw.

Everyone keeps trying to microwave this rebuild. That basically never work unless you get gifted a player like Luka in a midnight trade.

 

Steve Kerr has the most kickable face of anyone alive.

 

I think the reason why he played through some injuries this season because of that exact thing. Cam filling in and him losing his spot like Jabari did.

 

Does anyone else think if Cam was a starter on this team, we’d be the number 1 seed? And even win tonight?

I really think we’re wasting Cam’s offensive talent.

 

i feel like todays game wasn't 5 on 5, is was more like 3 on 7. We had FVV and JG brick brothers who had money on GSW lol.

 

Hopefully it is more than 3 more games.

 

FVV and JG are indeed, absolutely for sure not franchise players ...I mean as in not even close....not even average players. I'll tell tell you this ....this line up starting currently won't get it done.ZERO SCORING....17 points TOTAL on 7/34 from the floor. I mean that's laughable. Sengun scored 26 of our 85 points.

 

On the positive - Toyota center sounded admirable.

 

More like mortgaged the Warriors future. That team out there isn't beating the Celtics, Thunder, Cavs..... I have the timberwolves next series beating this warriors team.

 

How much?

 

That missed out of bounds call and then a missed foul.

 

All my lunch money for a week

 

FVV also getting the most minutes AND shots than anyone else on the roster is borderline criminal.

 

I thought the last play of JG stepping in from the 3 and clanking a long 2 was just chef's kiss. As soon as he stepped inside for the long 2 i knew he was clanking that

 

Inside the NBA TNT is funny. They say Jabari and Steven single handedly kept Houston in it.

 

Jalen had like 2 possessions against Curry.

The rest of the night GSW put Payton (there best wing defender) on him or they blitzed him with a double.

 

I called it at the time. We were playing great and then we killed the momentum with the stupid rest, even though we had a full week off anyway. On top of that, he plays Jalen with the scrubs and ruins his confidence. Ime is like Moses. Got us to the doorstep of the promised land, but he ain’t the guy to lead us in.

 

Have you met John Stockton?
