ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/23/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

His high shooting rate is the reason we are even in the series. If he was conservative he'd have less pts and the lead would be lost.

You want him to be like Amen go 4/7 on "smart" plays?

 

Oh I really struck a nerve.

It's funny, tonight's the only time I've recognised your name. Which is surprising considering you've spammed 27,000 posts (not that much appreciation of your posts however, judging by tonight though I can understand why).

I think I haven't heard from you because Jalen doesn't give you too many opportunities to pump your chest out and act all tough.

 

I honestly don't know how the Rockets are supposed to get a win in GS with the way these refs are calling everything in their favor. It will be twice as bad next game. Rockets are gonna have to shoot 75% from 3 and be launching them like crazy in order to out score the refs.

 

I'm watching the whole post game on NBA TV and oh boy, Quentin Post is a Benelux interview!

 

It's been a while since the Rockets had legitimate post man and reinforced perimeter. Even 2018 Rockets lacked something compared to this squad. It's amazing to have such a complete squad even with poorer shooting because the youthful athleticism makes up for it.

 

vanvleet 1-7 from the arc and also the chief ballstopping culprit in the halfcourt offense moving like molasses doing nothing for 5-6 seconds every shotclock. we might as well play holiday or sheppard

 

I knew that's not what you meant. I just didn't like the way they kept Jalen doing ISO and needing outlet to reset again and again. Jalen was hitting shots. But I still didn't like how the offense was run. It's either Jalen ISO or Sengun dribbling to the basket.

 

Next game the illegal screens are going to be made on EVERY single play with elbows added and the refs are going to call the fouls on us. Just watch. Pieces of crap!

 

yeah ime is absolute ass wit the offense. Rockets have too many dynamic players to have the offense be so horrible.

 

Go back to Australia, you aren’t welcome in Houston.

 

this dude looks ridiculous. i love him. no pause.

 

I mean, if his hot is THIS hot, I may just prefer the hot/cold. Coz 20 pts may not win you the game. But 40 most likely will.

 

Warriors twitter is having a complete meltdown after tonight, many of them are wishing death to our players. Says a lot about that cesspool of a fanbase.

 

Sometimes you just got to break the game

 

Who was it? Is that you @Os Trigonum

 

I do wonder if Jalen has turned a corner with them after that review. That was sort of an embarrassing reset for the refs.

It would help Jalen's game if would stop at the FT line more often (or even hesitated there). Tonight, after a few attempts, Jalen stopped before he was point-blank in the teeth of the D, and he passed the ball early when the defense collapsed.

 

FVV needs to step up. I wanna see Holiday hitting 3's as well. Bari needs to have a big game.

 

we are so lucky we got young players who rise up when disrespected. Jalen was jawing at Draymond then hit like 3 straight shots right after
