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

I just thought Chris would play harder sumwhere else, Harden being in Beast mode all year, 160mil would motivate him to get the Ring..

 

Yeah I thought what the Rockets were paying Paul plus him never winning a chip before would be enough motivation but right now I’m not seeing it.

 

I really hope you're just making stuff up. If true, that's just inexcusable.

 

It's dam near sabotage..

 

This sucks man.

Got the best of Rockets Era CP3 last year but his hamstring gave out at the worst time, now we have the declining version of CP3 who can’t beat anybody off the dribble and can’t shoot.

Last year was the year smh.

 

KD out next 2 games?

 

I feel like this the reverse of last year.
Game 5 main player injury but still eek out win to go up 3-2.
Sound familiar?
Hopefully history repeats itself and Rox win next two games and GSW misses “27” threes.

 

The only one who seemed to fight that entire game was PJ. The rest disappointed me beyond belief. In tired of watching half a** efforts when we actually can win a game.

 

Playoff Harden makes me sick to my stomach.

 

I thought the effort was there. I do think the Warriors increased their effort.

However, the Rockets shot 29% from three. I don't expect the Rockets to ever win a game shooting 29% from three. Gordon, Rivers, and Paul couldn't make a shot.

 

I guarantee that this is exactly what's transpiring....we all knew this was going 7, players probably did too. Just be hopeful and watch things unfold.

 

Just win game 6 and game 7 anything is possible

Q4-01:26.0
Foul: Personal
Committing player: Klay Thompson
Disadvantaged: Eric Gordon
Incorrect non-call
Comment: LAR shows Thompson (GSW) reaches in and makes contact with Gordon's (HOU) wrist, causing him to lose control of the ball.

Q4-00:09.4
Foul: Loose Ball
Committing player: Eric Gordon
Disadvantaged: Shaun Livingston
Incorrect non-call
Comment: Gordon (HOU) dives into Livingston's (GSW) legs and and dislodges him from his position during the loose ball.

 

Let me get this straight:

- We CLAW our way back from a once 17pt deficit (that's applaudable against GSW)

- Come back to tie the game for the start of the 4th Q (we're showing heart and grit)

- We have a 12 min game to play WITH MOMENTUM having gone our way

- Durant goes down shortly thereafter giving us seeming advantage and
instead of seizing the moment, turning up the intensity and CRUSHING them
in their apparent moment of weakness, we roll over and play dead and let Stephanie Curry take us down?

Went from heroes to zeroes in 12 short minutes

 

No, Paul and Rivers had a goose egg behind the arc. EGO did hit 3. All Paul and Rivers had to do was hit a couple and we won. Heck, even Shump hit 3. What kills me though is how damn hard we make it look to hit a layup and how easy Lou made it look when LAC played them. Take notes men.

 

Sorry NBA, I don't agree that this was an uncalled foul on Gordon. Gordo had two hands on the ball on the floor, then the contact with Livingston occurred. Should have been an incorrect non-call the other way - a foul on Livingston IMO.

To me, this is more evidence that the NBA is applying its PR spin to the 2 minute reports. Since they have realised teams are looking closely at the reports they are covering their asses by not genuinely applying the rules of basketball to what happened. This trend of lies in the L2m reports has been a year-long thing, probably since the Rockets went to them with the audit behind closed doors (presumably soon after last season's WCF).

 

lmao Capela is so bad
