Rockets vs Warriors

[Machinator 32097]

Too many missed layups.

[immortal13 4059]

Looked like a flagrant to me.....clear path to the goal and hit him in the head

[HornPhD 1309]

Ouch (3 by KT)

There's the back breaker.

Lmao at people giving KD a pass. I guess you guys never watched him in crunch time in big games? It was both of their faults. But this is a UT board, so its natural. Without Westbrook, KD allowed OKC to get swept by some shitty Memphis team who was disposed of easily by SA. 

Who gives a fuck? This is the G.S./ Rockets thread.

Nah it wasn’t Draymond

Looked like a clear back court, but gotta get back on d anyway

39 for Harden and they look like they still are going to lose.....sheesh.

It was tipped into the backcourt

[Machinator 32097]

Harden's had a few defensive lapses, but you can't fault his effort in this one.

No it wasn’t just showed the reply. Clear as day

Does GSW not have to restablish possession from the initial tipped pass? I honestly don’t know the rule

[immortal13 4059]

This one is over

Like I said initial though still not an excuse not to get back on d and still give up a wiiiiide open look to Klay

[Teddy Tucker 18]

Rockets can’t shoot this poorly at the line and win. 

[Stella Link 534]

Well Furk....

 

[elfenix 34001]

Rockets can’t shoot this poorly at the line from right below the gotdamn basket and win. 

Ftfy

Yep. Regular season records don't matter. GSWs are a very good team. Too many weapons. And I'm hoping for a Celtics-Rockets Finals.

[immortal13 4059]

Why foul with the shot clock off? Lulz

[crony 351]

Wow I fell for the hype of Houston being a contender, but nope they suck.

[SDG 3319]

That was a fun game to watch.

Live, learn try again game 2

[Teddy Tucker 18]

One game ain’t a series boys

[Vic Mackey 46582]

Houston has put themselves in a big hole. Yes it is only 0-1 but you never want to be chasing GSW. Especially now that GSW gets 2 of the next 3 at home.

It just doesn't look like they have enough to beat them 4 times.

No but its never a series until someone loses at home and the Rockets just managed that with ease in game 1. I was actually hoping to see some competitive basketball. 

[Stella Link 534]

Let's try and win the next one and go from there.....

Lol. KD hasn’t scored 40 in one playoff game this year. Did New Orleans and the spurs have better defenders than Ariza, tucker and moute? He might have a game of 40 but every game? Lulzz

Pos rep

[Hank Kingsley 19830]

Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the other team. GS was great tonight. 

Adjustments/situations for the Rockets to have a chance to win the series. 

1. Capela needs to play 35+ minutes every game. He's so good defensively that he can hold his own when GS switches.  His pickpocket of Curry was incredible. 

2. Obviously Ariza needs to wake up. Can't afford him getting in foul trouble and he needs to knock down a few 3s.  He disappeared in most of the Utah series as well.

3. Gerald Green is pretty much unplayable in this series. I know he had to come in for Ariza, but D'Antoni still gave him too many minutes. 

4. Nene is unplayable as well. He can't defend anyone on the perimeter and he's a negative on the offensive side of the ball. 

5. We need SOMETHING out of Ryan Anderson. Shoot the fucking ball. Good things happen with our offense when he's clicking. 

6. That was Luc's worst game as a Rocket. Hopefully he bounces back. 

7. Have to hound Klay Thompson. He's an unbelievable shooter, but can throw up some clunkers if defended well.  He is the X factor.  If Klay puts a big game, you have no chance.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18327]

That went about the way that I thought it would.

Houston isn't nearly disciplined enough on defense. They can't outscore this team. They are going to have to get stops. Truth be told, the Warriors took a lot of bad shots early in the clock and made things easy for them at times. But that's sort of what they do. And the Rocket's  offense is too iso reliant. I know that's how they do things, but man... so much dancing around and jacking up shots at the end of the clock. Get some fucking ball movement going.

I know the Houston fans are hypersensitive about this series, and clearly there's a long way to go in this series, but there's no shame in losing Golden State. They are just that good.

[Hank Kingsley 19830]

The Rockets definitely can outscore GS. In fact, that should be their philosophy. 

 

[Teddy Tucker 18]

Speaking of klay can’t remember who it was Gordon or Paul had an awful scramble foul against him with like 2 minutes left in 2nd. Terrible decision to give him 2 free looks after a slow start to the game by him. after making those he came right back down the next possession to hit a big three to tie it going into half. Came out with way more confidence in the second half after that

Can't disagree.  They have to focus on winning the best of three. Win the next one at home and one away.  Then come home and win another.  

[Hank Kingsley 19830]

The Rockets scored 50 points in 1 quarter vs. Utah. They shoot more 3s than any team, ever. They have the firepower to score a ton of points.  

Like they say, it's a make or miss league. If the Rockets are feeling it from 3, they can beat anyone.

Warriors in 4 if the rockets don’t find a way to steal game 2. And I know it’s on their home floor, but they’re going to have to scratch and claw to make this series go 5 games.

How come like all of his big game clutch shots were with OKC? why was he constantly having to bail them out? Why did he leave?

Too much of a workload when the franchise rather have just one shooter out of 5 starters...

As far as tonite for the Rockets, I see it as a simple fix on making free throws/ layups & keeping a hand in the face of Klay, to even the series 1-1...
