ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 12/10/2014

Bogut likely out? Seems like we're catching a lot of breaks lately.

 

Sheeeeit. If anybody deserves a break, I think it's us.

 

I have an 8:00am final the next day... I hate the 9:30pm start. All West Coast games should start no later than 6:30 or 7:00pm at the very latest, which would be 8:30pm central.

Anyway, I've been doing this every game since Dwight has been out so..

We win if three of these four things happen:
1) Harden (and Howard, if playing) is the only MVP performer out there aka limit Curry
2) We hit 12+ threes, shooting >40%
3) Unleash Bev on Curry and Ariza on Thompson all night long and force them to have poor shooting nights
4) Force GSW to have a high number of turnover and take care of the ball

3 absolutely needs to happen for us to win. But I expect this game to be highly entertaining game to start, lots of back and forth with the lead. The first team to have a serious run in the second half is going to win this game.

 

Who's their backup big? DMo should have a field day.

 

We can be leading by 20 the majority of the game and have our rookies blow the lead to 8 in the last minute of garbage time and that will be the headline.

Whatever, a win is a win. Lets go get it!

 

If we beat their streak... Oh man I'm gonna be so happy. Soooo happy

 

Festus Ezeli would start in his place, but I'd bet Marreese Speights would get most of the minutes w/ Draymond filling in for smaller lineups. FWIW:

I guess we shall see.

 

Hit the booty club now im bout to take off

 

Just pound it into dwight and dmo. When the double comes kick out... just like the good ole days. Go Rox!

 

i heard an interesting thing today from the golden state commentators, they were saying that Love had told Golden state he wouldn't re-sign with them. The conversation was basically about that trade that wasn't, and one of them goes, good thing we didn't trade Klay, the other responded, didn't really matter since Love told them he wouldn't stick around.

 

Doubt Dwight plays but if Bogut is out awesome Big Papa being out sucks but if Canaan comes back and Harden and PB are good they can do it ....will they do it is another thing

 

Canaan has already been ruled out.

 

Damn I still think they could get this W

 

The hell did he do to his ankle? break it?

 

I'm starting to suspect that the Rockets are holding back all of these players(other than T-Jones whose injury is serious) because of how well they're doing in their absence. I mean, Bev was continuously being listed as doubtful just like Dwight and suddenly he's thrust back into the lineup when Papa goes down and there are literally no bodies left. If one more player gets hurt, don't be surprised if Dwight is back for the very next game.

 

Let's see Canaan out, Dwight out, Terrence out, Kostas out yea we are very lucky :grin:

 

We have a good chance to win this game. It is said that both Bogut & Lee are not playing.

 

anyone have a feeling this Dwight injury is more of a scapegoat for the child abuse case and they're keeping it low key? I just dont remember Dwight getting hurt in Memphis... of course Houston coaches never tell us anything on player injuries.

 

That's the conspiracy theory some of us(even myself) are throwing around. I'm not ready to don the tinfoil hat just yet. But if we're hearing the same "doubtful for tonight", "Dwight's not coming back anytime soon" incoherence from the Rockets organization a week from now when he'll have been out officially for an entire month, then I'm gonna start to think they're hiding something.
