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

I'll take Tony Brothers 10 times out of 10 times before I'd let Scott Foster walk into the building.

 

I will be good if the 8 man rotation can all score 14 points each. With the Defense we've been playing all series, final score 112 to 98.

 

The recipe for success is the same as game 5.

- high concentration, motivation, energy and awareness.
- wear them down with physical play and high tempo.
- fred's leadership in offense.
- high IQ offense through Fred & alpi.
- Jalen and amen should let the game come to them. No forced drives.
- no zone defense or funny matchup bs. Keeping balance between containing curry and letting others cook.

I'm so confident of our chances since momentum is with us and it's a home game. The squad should do what they do best and smash GSW.

 

Foster is injured that’s why you haven’t seen him. Of all the healthy options brothers is the worst. There was no worse possible outcome than this.

 

I miss nba on nbc at noon.

waiting all day for a game 7 is brutal.

@Snow Villiers Sunday funday, come thru.

 

Damn, the fix is in, they really sent in Tony Brothers to get the Warriors into the next round.

 

We are an actual horrible matchup for them.

We have multiple guys that can make it tough on Edwards and possess the athletic ability and size to put Gobert/Co in foul trouble.

Also have the coaching advantage there.

I like our chances against Minnesota if we can somehow pull it off tonight. Tonight I am not over looking due to game 7 nerves and the Warriors living in this moment for the last decade.

 

ah I didn't know that. Honestly I still consider it great fortune lol

 

It’s not, it lowers our win probability from probably 60%ish to maybe 10%. Ya it’s not 0% like foster but it’s still a BRUTAL result.

 

They have played hard enough to overcome the officiating advantages the warriors always get.

Just have to keep it out of a close game late.

 

lol

 

Why can’t we get Amen easy buckets cutting under basket?

 

Because Draymond is still really damn good defensively.

He is basically the best defensive QB in the league back there.

 

This is going to be interesting. You have to think that Kerr is going to try to slow down Fred( no one thought we would be saying that at the beginning of this series). This means that Jalen may have more opportunities and will have to deliver.

When the defense swarms our ball handler, we have to move the ball and find the open man. Our offense has been going through Fred to Sengun, so I have to think the Warriors will try to disrupt this.

I hope that Ime is quick to make adjustments if need be.

 

We all hate him, but he is perhaps the most impactful defensive player of the last decade. Nobody can guard from rim to three-point line like he can. Nobody can guard 1-5 like he can either.

 

I've been thinking about this all day. Jalen Green could score 50 plus points tonight and lots will be surprised. We are winning this game tonight and I have this feeling that we win big.

 

Yep. His help defense is on another level and although he has lost a step or two, his post defense is incredible. He is a menace in the paint with passing lanes.

He is the most underrated player in the league the last decade.

I would argue GSW's most important player as well.

He brings up the teams energy and shuts down his player/interior of the paint off the help.

Would be super happy if Amen had his type of career(obvioulsy Amen has way more potential). Major floor raiser.

 

If we hold the Warriors to 20-25 points each quarter that is just key along with making free throws, minimizing turnovers and winning the boards. We will hit shots tonight because we are due.
