ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 4/30/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

That's 100% true, Amen is a much better screen navigator. But that's a "next worry" thing, you either blitz or switch.... The point is that if Curry beats Amen, (which happens from time to time, as Amen is quite bit heavier than Curry) then you're left exposed with your best defender out of the action.

 

I watched the replay in slo-mo. Honestly it appears Sengun pushed it a litle too much. Sengun made the first contact, leaning his face into Spencer's head. THEN Spencer head-butted Sengun after that contact

I'm not too mad at that still. I think that is Sengun having Brook's back for Brooks always standing up for his guys all year. An "I owe you one back" return. Just stand-up without touching anyone in head & sensitive area

 

Yeah, honestly that entire event kinda stopped the GSW momentum.

 

Rockets blew the doors off GS in an elimination game from the opening tip, and Ime drew up a defensive scheme that's going to make Kerr lose sleep tonight. Yes the bench fumbled the blowout but that's not really consequential, can't ask for a much better response after the last two games.

 

I can't say exactly. Draymond Green just looks like a dick with a syphilis ulcer on it. I guess that's what it is.

 

So happy to humble these delusional bandwagon GSW fans thinking they got another shot at a title this year LMAO

The kids showed some fight tonight

On to Friday!!

 

What a game. Was fun to watch in person.

I am going to say this... If this series somehow goes to game 7. There is no way the Rockets lose that game at home.

Everything was on point. We just have to do it 2 more times. I believe.

 

Wow...was just watching the game again...didn't realize that the wholesale subs were made with 50.1 secs left in the third.Starting the 4th the score was 107-80..a 27 point lead.With like 8:09 left, Ime went back to starters...the 21-7 run getting the score to within 13 (114-101) included 4+ mins. of the starters being put back in. In fact, they let the lead shrink to 13 and then securing the win at 15 pt. win. Tari,Bari,Adams,Holiday and Reed were the subs on the floor for the just short of 4 mins. to start the 4th. BTW..the 3 shot at 20 secs by Bari was a break out where Holiday entered inside the arc and flipped it out to Bari for an open 3...he just missed the shot.

 

.

 

Start Holiday along with FVV in Game 6. Jalen can come off the bench. Adams' screens can give Jalen good looks.

 

Yikes. Stop it.

 

Sengun mean mugging the entity questioning his fortitude for game 6.

 

Sengun stood his ground as he should, but knew better than let a scrub sucker him into a suspension.

 

Great win, but I'm a little worried on how we won. It seemed like they threw in the towel early.

I think once they went up 3-1, they didn't care much about this game. I think they want to win it more on their home court.

With that, I think we may have revealed our cards on what we fixed from Game 4 and they were taking notes. Pretty sure they will use it against us when Game 6 happens. Hope Ime and the coaching staff is ready for it.

 

There was a dummy on this site who once said making FT’s isn’t as important as going to the line.

 

If Brooks and Jalen made all 4 of their FT’s we win. That was very upsetting. They missed 4 critical FT’s. 2 on that Draymond flagrant. Green missed a tech and went 1-2 on one trip.

 

Something to think about. We dominated them. They never dominated us. We screwed ourselves in games 3 & 4. We are better than them.
