ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/22/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 4)

Somebody get my man Hakeem a jersey. I betcha he could give us a good 5 minutes of great bb still.

 

i was pretty stunned when he blocked curry on fast break. I think Green is not fundamentally sound on defense, but man people underestimate his athleticism even his opponents.

 

That was among the best and grittiest wins in this franchise's history. Just awesome!!!

 

Winner takes all.

Winner gets to the Finals
Winner likely wins the Championship.
Winner signs Durant.

 

awesome mash up

 

deserves its own thread

 

Good article.

It was hard to catch what adjustments the Rockets made to all the deception the Warriors brought in game 3, but this article lays it out pretty good.

Now we will see if the Warriors have any more tricks up their sleeves...

 

Harden is the key to success in Game 5 and beyond. He should attempt as many step back 3's as possible. If the 3 isn't there, drive and hit the mid range shot, as he did against the Jazz. I would love to see James coming off screens and making jumpers. It's all about rhythm and gaining confidence. His forays to the basket were just great. Keep it up
James, you can will us to victory along with the rest of the team.
But Defense first, and defense last must be our motto.
Go Houston Rockets!

 

What a game...

Its simple, we fought hard, got little lucky and got a win in Oakland

My favorite moment last night was Hardens dunk over Donkey...that just made my year..

Even if we now lose the rest of the games, I would not be disappointed. We didn't completely choke like last couple of years. We stayed calm and stuck to the plan, which I'm not a big fan of it, so credit to the coaching and management sticking to their guns on ISO...

This was probably Hardens biggest game even tho he kind of disappeared offensively in the second half.

Weirdest part of the game was the 7 man rotation, including Green LOL.. credit to the guy, he fights and had a couple of defensive stops. (we can forget about his crazy shots on this one)

 

What, I don't care about sharing any type of fandom. Just quit b****ing and whine ALL the time and I'm good. Be who they are lol gotta be kidding me, I'm done with this.

 

Gerald almost injured Joe's hand lol

 

That's the thing, we didn't flip our switches. We were still shooting poorly-to-mediocre and not finishing inside (except Harden).

What we did was used pure sandpaper grit to get physical and will ourselves to stay in that game. THAT was huge, and that's what we've been begging this Rockets team for.

This team's offensive floor is very high. We know they can score, even if it's not near their full potential. When they can use physicality and tenacity to fill in the gaps, they can hang with anyone.

 

This just feels like the deja vu media narrative all over again. Now, the media and everybody dumps on Golden State. Then, Golden State comes out with something to prove in game 5. The Rockets have to stop this narrative and take control. You can't come out in game 5 like you just did something great in game 4. The truth is the Rockets barely won the game and it took a minor miracle. Rockets cannot give up game 5. They just can't. Win for Santa Fe. Win for the hurricane victims. Just win...the game and the series.

 

Gerald Green 30 for 30: Couch to 7 Man Rotation Piece

 

Stop whining

 

The Fubs are 39 of 40 before yesterday’s game when leading 10 or more entering the fourth.

Guess whom that 1 loss they owe to?
