ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/24/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 5)

Yeah but what else is he gonna do - bench Draymond the Allstar?

 

It's going to be very tough. Let's hope for the best.

 

There's not that much to do in terms of adjustments at this point. But here are a few little things that I'm interested in seeing.

1. Can Capela battle through the adversity? I think it will be up to the coaches to draw up a few things that make easier for him to contribute on offense. That might involve having to make a quick, one dribble move and finishing above rim. I see no reason not to give him the opportunity, especially if Klay Thompson or Livingston switch on to him. There is too much holding and grabbing to rely on alley oops.

2. The return of Iguodala. Can the Rockets shut off his easy points as in Game 2.

3. The physical play. Our switches do wear on them, but we need to be calculated on when to fight over the top. If its a token screen, why make it easy?

4. Pace of play and early substitutions. Everyone has hit the wall. The team that can get the most from their bench will have an edge.

 

I don't think anyone is scared of a "pissed off" warriors team. You don't get scared of a "pissed off" team that shimmies and gets hung trying to dunk (he just isn't aerodynamic enough bc his mouth is always open, dummy).

 

Damn it’s alraady game day. Still high off the win

 

Draymond punches, kicks his opponents and flops too. He is the biggest whiner on the court on top of that. Kerr is crying to the refs to bail his team out.

 

Hitting the alarm like this today! Let's go ROX Nation!

 

Houston was dozing off back then?

 

I can't wait for this game. I really hope the Rockets don't come out flat. They need to still play with the fire that they had in the 4th quarter of the last game. I'm figuring GSW will come out firing.

 

I too enjoy listening to a lot of the talking heads eating crow but that doesn't mean we're the favored team. The media, the league and most NBA fans still want to see another GSW Lebron finals.

 

Never that! Just resting the eyes.

 

If we lose do we get lebron again?

 

100% positive that donkey is going to show his true colors.

Except we have a lot more real tough guys than they do.

If Draymond starts playing dirty, then we need to quickly insert Nene to daddy him.

 

Role players show up huge.

Rockets win by 15.

Warriors will play shook.

 

If it bleeds, we can kill it.
