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

Thank you, J.R. That was really well written and kind of fun to read because it was so well written. I can tell they really poured it in for this article.

 

Lemme guess, first one being Lakers?

I despise the clippers as well.

 

Lakers are #1 by a football field, then the Warriors, then the Clippers.

 

Even if this game is lost, there should be no overreaction, 4 rings curry green and playoff butler, the young rockets team will play the 7th game, even this is a great success

 

I'm seeing Minny fans wanting GSW...they know whats up. This Warriors team is only a threat to us because of the odd voodoo Curry has over this franchise.

We can break it game 7, for good.

 

just focus on the fantastic 2 hour nap you’re gonna have witha full belly of Whataburger. Set those phone alarms and a wake-up call.

 

A fellow california hater I see. I love it.

Sick and tired of seeing fellow “rockets fans” root for the clippers all because of “harden”.

I wish we got the clippers cuz we’d send hardens old ass to the retirement home. Amen owns harden and basically sonned him so hard twice, that harden hid in the third time lol. Brooks would work old ass kawhi.

Rockets in 4 by blowouts tbh.

 

Minny fans have no idea on Green.

Green historically struggles with GSW. No idea why but his lowest is to them, at 13 ppg on UGLY shooting. Green however averages his season averages vs the wolves at 19ppg. Basically, we'd probably see electric ant vs JG duels, with multiple 30 bombs from Jalen.

 

Rockets are too young and full of them dawgs to know they're supposed to lose this game and down 3-1 in the fifth year of a decade has the rockets 2-0 in game 7's. It's all lining up. If Jalen can score 15 this fin be a blowout. Speak it into existence. Exorcise these light skin demons. My body is ready.

 

The only voodoo was bum ass Harden being here and choking time after time. Thank god he’s long gone. The cats gonna do something Harden could never do.

 

Just a general observation from the past few games...

There were 3 ways the warriors scored points:

1) transition buckets
2) defensive breakdowns
3) incredible off-balance crazy shots

If the Rockets essentially eliminated any one of those 3 it's difficult to see how the warriors score enough.

We gave up a lot of wide open 3s to their scrubs whose only job is to stand around and shoot.

I would also consider hacking Draymond if the 3s start falling for curry:

1) takes their offense out of rhythm
2) a friendly tighter than expected bear hug might make Draymond take a swing
3) saves us some timeouts for resting guys

 

LFG!!
After the heartbreaking losses in 2018 conference finals, and in 2019 semi-finals, we just can’t let the Warriors celebrate in our home again. Before game 6 I wrote that if we are destined losing this series - than let it happen away in the Bay. Now that we avoided elimination and got back home - it’s a MUST win series!!

Our keys for a win tonight -
1. Staying focused in the free throw line - that was the main reason for losing game 4
2. At least getting season averages game from Jalen Green and Jabari Smith l - if Jalen can contribute 21 pts and Jabari 12 pts, we should be good, as so far they were far below it (yes, except for Jalen in game 2).
3. Not letting the Warriors getting to close to us in the final minutes - you don’t wanna face Steph and Jimmy in money time. We should create a small run and maintain a double-digit lead near the end.

Wishful thinking - Rockets get a sequence of none-missed 27 three point shots between the 2nd to mid-4th quarter of the game

Let’s f****** go!!!

 

I wouldn't sit in my hotel room for 6 hours. You'll end up be tired later on. Not sure where you're staying but I'd definitely Uber and get a few drinks.and some food. Lots of great places and that way you don't have to eat at the stadium

 

Let's get it. Sending the Warriors home would be glorious
