ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/26/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 6)

What a crazy game that was. Turned on the game after the Astros lost to the Dodgers
in Game 4 at home. Had the Rockets game on mute because I couldn't take listening to their crowd, and saw that last second shot go in for Warriors. I went from pure anger to elation and their fans went from pure joy to shock when they ruled that the shot was late and the Rockets won. I believe.

 

Capela will be big tonight. If Harden can find the big fella down low and Capela can convert, that will weigh heavily in our favor and really open things up.

 

Go all out. Keep it close late and the pressure shifts to GSW

 

I think either JJ or Ryan get some run tonight. Mbah will contribute. The team with the most mental toughness should win (iggy adds a lot to their mental toughness, I think Donkey is ready to crack)Harden can't get frustrated or rattled. He has got to keep focusing on solid team D and make some offensive adjustments. Go for the jugular

 

Rivaldo’s an underrated legend. Loved watching him.

 

I have this feeling that another injury is going to bite the Warriors tonight, kinda of like how Love is out for game 7 now. I'm thinking a rolled ankle for KD or Draymond, as they're playing the most minutes, that won't allow them to finish the game.

 

Go for it so long as the game doesn't get out of hand. If it begins to look like EVERYTHING is going their way, including the whistles, pack it up. We;kk get them in Game Seven.

 

I couldn't pass on +600. I put my money where my mouth is.
Let's go Rockets!!

My bank account wouldn't be mad at all.......

 

I just don't see how this team can win against GSW without Paul.

 

By scoring more points. /s

 

Rox switching almost everything has nullified the GSW motion offense.
They rely heavily on screens and cuts but if you switch precisely, it takes away their identity on offense.

We are doing to them what San Antonio did to us last year.

In addition, running their style of offense without much bearing wears them out faster than our switch defense. Basically, it is more efficient.

GSW’s release valve is Durant but that is where the math wins. If I was Kerr, I would tell KD to spam three pointers when they go iso.

Our other strategy is to go iso on Curry or their bigs. This takes away their 6-7 centers because they cannot guard Harden/CP.
Also Curry is the engine of GSW. Increasing his load as much as possible makes it harder for him to spend that energy on offense.
It also minizes turnovers as their weakness is that and we have one of the lowest.

The shortened rotations for both teams is better for us because it decreases the talent gap when people are tired. It is more a game of will at that time.

Switch defense and Iso offense is something that we have been doing ALL year.

Morey is a freakin genius.

 

100% lock the whistles are with the Warriors tonight, heavily

 

Warriors about to get all the calls. Let it rain 3’s from the likes of which they have never seen

 

Yup. League can’t afford the Warriors to go down at home in 6. It’ll be 5 on 8 all night.

 

got a feeling iso Joe hit the game winner tonight

 

I had a dream last night that we won 114 to 87. Let’s make this dream come true!! We have enough to make it happen.

It’s believe season my friends!!!

 

Don't care how we in, just win it baby!

 

Passage of time has slowed today where 30 seconds feels like a minute. Is it tip-off yet?

 

Don't discount dreams. After the Game 3 loss on Sunday, I dreamt that we were up by 5 very late in the 4th and they got to within 3 but it was clear we were going to win. Then we won Game 4 by 3 points. Your dream is a good omen.
