ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/5/2026

Probably a makeup call because Amen was fouled pretty blatantly on his drive with no whistle.

But that's the last call we're getting in this one.

 

I thought the Okogie foul on Seth was bs too

 

They're also hunting him with their defense as well to take him out of the game completely. Kerr takes Ime's toys away like a bully in the sandbox, and Ime has no way to fight back.

 

maybe little kid halftime shows are an NBA thing

 

These refs are assholes

 

Everytime we come into Golden State, it's the Rockets vs Golden State and the refs. KD was obviously hacked by Draymond. No call, that leads to a fastbreak dunk. Then I dont know wtf A A- Aron holiday was doing with that pass. Come on fellas get it together!

 

10 players deep in the 1st half - and no DFS!

 

its not a coincidence okogie getting more burn and DFS not playing has = more Ws

 

A weakfish way to finish the 1st half. Gotta do better than that.

Steph didn't score a single time, one-on-one, against Amen. I think he was 0-4, including that last shot.

Tari was poo poo in the 1st half. Ime should give him 5 mins in the 3rd quarter and if he doesn't do any better, bench him for the night.

Rockets should be up by ~10 points but they are their own worst enemy.

 

Steph is showing tonight the same thing we saw last time we faced these a-holes in the playoffs... his rim pressure is better than you think.

I don't think you can be a true superstar without at least average-ish rim pressure. It's why Reed, unfortunately, doesn't have more than very slim odds of becoming a #1 option.

The best play in NBA basketball is still an open dunk/layup. If you can't create those pretty regularly, you're not the best player player on a championship team.

 

This is why coaching is so critical. With Udoka the teams shoots itself on the foot constantly.

 

Pretty sure he's done for the year tbh, they'll either move him in the offseason or more likely rest him til next season when he moves into the slot Tari vacates when he goes to the Lakers.

 

i got two snuggly kitties and a 5:30 alarm headed my way

**** the refs

**** the warriors

y'all bring home this w

 

Damn!

 

Exactly - Steph Castle will never be a shooter like Sheppard but he can get into the lane and pass or finish at a very high level and that's why he scores 17-7 as a secondary creator

 

Watching this from a sportsbook in Vegas… and I may start yelling in public… at least we are ahead at halftime

 

It's so sad. Watching NBA for so long and someone grabbling a offensive rebound for a put back getting fouled is always a shooting foul, and refs ruled that the foul was on the floor. Eason got pushed to the ground and no fouls and they blew it on the other end for a touch foul on Santos. The whole first half was all about refs trying to help dubs to win this game. Luckily we are not seeing these cheaters on the first round again.

 

Scary 3rd quarter
Just need Tari to play like an actual professional

 

If Reed was smart he'd go against the grain and ignore all these "trainers" out there and pay an actual NBA PG to show him how to get to the rim like that and develop his floater game also. Someone like Tony Parker would be ideal even though I hate him. Of course he'll do what all these kids do and hire an instagram "trainer" and do stupid ass drills that do nothing for his game. (See: Green, Jalen for reference.)

 

Watching Tari drive the ball



"just give me the ball and get the f*ck out the way"
