ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/4/2025 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

First!

 

All about Jalen this is his game

Kinda like Harden vs the Clippers game 7

 

LFG!!! We can win this!! Idk if my heart can take the instensity this game is going to be played with

 

Ok, now that I got "First" out of the way, this is more than just Game 7. This is about exorcising a decade's worth of demons for this franchise and fanbase. It's about ending a dynasty that's long overstayed its welcome. And it's about announcing to the league that these young Rockets have arrived and aren't just happy to be in the playoffs.

Let's go out there on Sunday and finish this.

 

A Public Service Announcement
Steven Adams is the CORE

 

I am expecting Jalen to deliver a 20 points game, then we can win easily.

 

Warriors are old and tired. Easy work.

 

**** the warriors! Finish the job

 

Same thing I posted after game 1.

If the Rockets don't have horrid shooting nights, they are going to win.

Their size and athletic ability is too much. Now the Warriors have resulted to Hack a Shaq and changing their starting lineup.

They panicked when Ime did not.

Noticed something last night. Amen was spending more time on Jimmy which I think is the right move with all the Curry screens. Make Curry destroy you with tough 3's and limit Butler, Heild, Podz from going off from 3.

They are in the driver seat. Time to go finish them.

Is it too much to ask for Jalen to have a good game. He is due. Shoot, so is Alpi when it comes to having a solid shooting game.

Great series.

Rockets in 7.

 

Sound of revenge. Let’s get this win, score early and often.

 

Whatever happens here I'm really happy with what this team showed this series and this season as a whole. Whole team has that dawg in them. But my schaudenfreude will be at never-before-experienced levels if we eliminate these guys here, so...

 

Continue to push the ball with Amen and limit Jalens shots and dribbling.

 

Let's roll ladies and gents.

 

I don't have the words to express how satisfying this series has been. Getting to game 7 is like the cherry on top.

Because the Rockets are both familiar with and superior to the Warriors, Steve Kerr will be forced to change things up. They need more size and athleticism. Kuminga was the only DNP on their roster in game 6, but he could see some action in place of Quinten Post, who was terrible in game 6. I think Podziemski goes back into the starting lineup over GP2. They might play zone defense more often. He's got other options up his sleeve.

Rockets must play smarter on defense and not take the bait from Jimmy Butler. They must be ready for trapping and heavy on-ball pressure in the half-court, which caught them off guard in game 6. Hopefully DB bounces back and Steven Adams doesn't need a wheelchair after playing 31 mins.

 

It’s the Rockets time to finally eliminate the Warriors.

I don’t want one of those all timer type 7th games. The Rockets play their game they should move on.

 

Right on. Eliminate the Worriers!

 

I LOVE THAT THIS THREAD EXISTS!

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Even if the Rockets will play in the finals, this will be one of the most important games of the season...

GO ROCKETS!
