ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/8/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

To be fair ,he was about the only one that did **** tonight . When we didn't play him we went down big

 

After seeing that 4th quarter disappearance, I'm extremely concerned about another Harden disappearance in Game 6 just like against the Kawhi-less Spurs

 

Kerr thinks he's so cool swearing on the podium. Can't stand this guy

 

Harden played lazy basketball late game.

Pass, watch, and dribble

 

This team has a pretty long history of playing down to their opponent. They've done this for the past few years.

This team goes into coast mode when they think they've won. That's why they give up huge leads all year long, that's why the second Durant went out they all went into coast mode.

I blame CP3 and Harden, they are the leaders. Then I blame MDA for not making it clear to the team that this game, this game right here, was the championship game.

Now GSW feels like champions, they feel like they can still beat us.

Had we won this, had we took over once Durant went out, they come to Toyota center deflated and beaten. Instead they will be playing fired up and looking to prove a point and now we have the added pressure of it being a elimination game.

 

I think the Rockets wore themselves out getting back in the game after being down by 20. And, they had little gas left in the tank for the 4th. That's all I can figure. We need some excuse...don't we? lol

 

Kenny Smith is such an idiot...

 

Didn’t they JUST sign him to a 3 or 4 year contract?

 

They doubled him and other guys made mistakes. Both teams were gassed. Rockets should have found a way to win but if Durant is out next game, in theory the Warriors should have a super hard time scoring the ball. Literally we can double up on both Klay and Steph and force scrubs and non shooters to take shots...

 

Didn't they beat us in Houston without Durant and tonight?

 

Cause he was gassed

 

Smdh man, I'm so disappointed in this team man, complete letdown.

 

Was that a foul, yeah but they didn’t call it. We had a good amount of calls actually go our way the whole game. With Durant also going out, we were pretty much given every chance to pull away in the 4th qtr and win. Pathetic display of basketball by everyone but tucker and harden.

 

Clint's in his head and out of his rhythm.

We're never going to beat a GS team with 16 attempts from Harden. Worst stat of the night, especially given that he shot 60% and none of our other guys were hitting.

 

Will be interesting to see how the L2M report spins this. No chance they will acknowledge he was out or Gordo got fouled. They'll probably invent an infraction against Houston that wasn;'t called.

 

with no KD we should win the series... unless we have some 'genius gameplan' instead of putting personnel on the floor that can box out and grab a rebound...

 

Agreed. When the other guys are bricking like that, I'd rather watch James take stepback 3s all quarter.

 

HOW ABOUT THAT BALL-STOPPING ISO OFFENSE THAT IS SO EASY TO GUARD IN CRUNCH TIME??? HOW ****ING BOUT IT

 

We need Capela to beat teams that have great centers. Capela eats their lunch.

What we need is a better coaching staff who recognizes that he's a situational player that shouldn't be playing as much in bad matchups. If D'Antoni could've just figured that out, the series may have already been over.

 

F-CK THAT Sh-t!!!
