Ariza with 5 fouls right now is hurting us!  He's limited in what we need him to do!

    it's just amazing to me the reactionary posts you get when it comes to sports. durant and the warriors stacked the deck so much in their favor on july 4th, 2016 that people were saying they'd win

    Start talking shit now! This team blows dick!  

Yeah thats enough for me. Shove our guy no call, bullshit call the other way. Obvious how this ones gonna go.

Give me a fucking break. That’s not a foul on PJ. Can’t beat the Warriors if they are getting all the calls 

Durrrrrr iso played by one team durrrrrr team basketball on the other


If they could make some goddamn layups the rockets would be blowing out the warriors

Yup. Why I stopped watching the nfl too. Its just sloppily rigged. At least the nfl has it down where they can make it kind of exciting.

Why would the Rockets ever leave Klay Thompson wide open? Come on guys!

EDIT: This is why.

Still gotta play the game regardless.

God this is fucking disappointing.

Its gonna be Curry/Lebron part 5, get hype! 

Meanwhile KD is carrying the team but doesn't sell as well as Curry.

Well, we're not out of anything yet.  CP3 can do a lot more and everyone else can make some damned layups.

Win game 2 and get a split in GS and we're fine.

Really hope so. D'Antoni is going to have to make some changes on the fly. The Warriors are defending the ISO well enough to win.

When you let Klay shoots 15! 3s you arent gonna win the game

I always thought it would be a tall order to win this series; however, I thought we’d win Game 1. This is really disappointing. Worse feeling than when the Astros lost 3 straight in NY to the Yankees. I am calling it a night. I’m not going to watch the postgame show and watch Charles slob the knob of thevWarriors

I don't know if I should throw a brick through the window or go cry myself to sleep.  

tonight is deflating because if you had told me before the game that harden, paul, capela and gordon would combine to score 91 points on 34/61 shooting, i absolutely would have expected the rockets to win the game.

i'm not giving up, but everyone is going to have to contribute in order to beat the warriors.  

Gotta just tip your cap to one of the best teams ever put together. But goddamn I can’t stand those fuckers. 

Definitely a deflating loss. But if we can win Game 2 that gives us a couple of chances in GS to reclaim HCA. 

All of the pressure is on the Rockets on Wednesday. Hopefully they handle it well.

this was it. and 12 of them were wide-tha-fuck open.

Yea only way we win a game much less the series is to play balls out on defense. They have to believe in defense first that will lead to better offense and I just don’t think that will ever happen. 

I’ll wait until after game 2 to use my rockets future tix as TP.   But I don’t exactly have my hopes up.  Fuck

I think another big issue I want to see get better is in the big games like tomorrow will harden rise above or after one or two games think they can’t win the series so fuck it and throw in the mental towel. We brought cp3 in to change that with his vocal leadership so I want to see them play balls out. 

Obviously none us can see it because the warriors seem completely unbeatable and that is true until someone proves otherwise. When they added KD they created a super team that won’t ever be beaten in a 7 game series barring injury or salary cap changes and they lose key parts. Pretty depressing knowing the entire league is on the outs tonone team for the next 3-5 years.

Not surprisingly, Klay did alot of damage after Ariza went to the bench with 5 fouls

There is a little bit of good news after last night’s disappointment. We will be getting new uniforms.

Hate the rule that allows Green a choke hold without committing a personal foul. The Tech does him a favor by affording an extra foul. Fuck that guy. 

Yeah, I think they should change it to where Technical fouls also count as a regular foul towards your limit of 6. It would also make double technicals kind of meaningful. 

The players around the “big 3” have been inconsistent.  Home court is meaningless if these guys can’t consistently show up for the fucking home games.

Agreed, ariza’s defense is huge in this series. Him on the bench with how poorly luc played last night was a killer

Luc and PJ need to come to play

Yep. Warriors didn't care about them shooting... so, if your shot isn't falling, you have to erase the closest guy every time down the floor... or you're Ryan Anderson.

“I definitely would like to get the ball more for me to be aggressive and get good looks,” said Gordon, who took 13 shots. “Offensively with everybody, we really don’t get real good looks. … We can’t isolate as much against a good defensive team. I don’t care who you are. We have some of the best isolation players out there. But against a team like that, it’s going to be too tough.”

He'll be traded after this season... but he's right.

EG+Ryno for Lebron. 2018-2022 will be the NBA's Cold War.

latest?cb=20150614222822

It will be a consolidation of power like we have never seen before! Soon the league will just be 2 teams of all stars playing for one 7 game series every summer. 

So... here's my simple analysis...  for the Rockets to win, they have to be able to find the best 2-on-2 matchup each time down the court.  GSW is going to switch everything, so the goal has to be not only to switch and get an on-ball advantage, but also an advantage at the next pass.

The obvious man-on-man advantage is going to be whomever vs. Curry - whether it's against the ball handler or the next pass. Find Curry.  If Harden or CP3 get Curry, go to work immediately and force GSW to help/rotate.

GSW knows this and will try to hide Curry on Ariza or PJ.  Don't care, put the ball in their hands and let them shoot over Curry.

Harden is going to get Thompson or Looney or KD... they're going to put bodies on him and hope he works his ass off for 40 points while not making others better.

imo, CP3 should be the primary ball handler, because he's going to get Thompson... make Thompson defend CP3 and let Harden and Capela get open looks as the next best 2-on-2 option. If Curry is on CP3, go to the lane and shoot a jumper.

GSW will counter the Curry abuse by going to a better defender.  That's fine.  Whomever replaces Curry is going to be less of an offensive threat.

Harden getting 40 is not as important as what happens when the ball leaves Harden's hands.  The next best option will almost never be whomever is guarded by Thompson or Green... unless it's Thompson on Capela at the rim) and it may not be whomever is guarded by KD (unless it's CP3 with an open floor).

Chris Paul needs to be Point God and set up Harden and Capela...  GSW is not going to let Harden facilitate. They'll let him be high percentage by himself.

BTW, the Celtics defend just like GSW (strategically, that is).  They're going to beat CLE, so even if Houston beats GSW, the defense of the Celtics is going to look similar, making points more difficult.

 

I could be wrong, but if the Rockets don't figure out how to get a 2:2 mismatch game going, this series won't make it back to Houston. If they do figure it out, the Rockets could still win (it all).

 

Call me battered fan syndrome, but just like the Astros I needed to see them breakthrough before I believed it would happen. I don't think the Warriors can be beaten and I am not looking forward to tonight. Reverse jinx in effect so lets hope my shitty attitude helps!

Well D'Antoni, you might want to get together with Eric Gordon on that.
