Houston Fans Are Very Cocky, Some Already Counting Tonight As a Win

[Spurs 4 The Win]

From Clutchfans:

"Spurs on a back to back having to play OKC the previous night and no Splitter.
I fully expect the Rockets to blow the F outta them in their building?
Anything less will be disappointing "

"We about to whoop dat ass"

"Fuck the spurs we about to go 2-0 the next 2 games"

"We match up well with the Spurs. Two Step Sweep."

"Should be an easy Rockets win.
Anything less than a blowout and I will NOT be impressed. In fact, it'll be disappointing not to blow out these fools who are on a back to back with no SPlitter
Oh and remember they have NO superstar but we have 2 superstars and you need superstars to win it all. And coaching doesn't matter
So we have no excuses."

Spurs fans at the game better get LOUD tonight so that we can send a message to these smug fans from H-town.

[will_spurs]

"2 superstars and no coaching"

Since when has this been the recipe for success in the playoffs? :lol

[Clipper Nation]

"Coaching doesn't matter" is arguably the most retarded mainstream take there is :lol

[weeks]

2 superstars and no coaching. That worked out real well for OKC

[Budkin]

"Oh and remember they have NO superstar but we have 2 superstars and you need superstars to win it all. And coaching doesn't matter"

First of all, WE are the fucking CHAMPS.

Second of all...

"Oh and remember they have NO superstar but we have 2 superstars and you need superstars to win it all."

^This has to be a troll post... I mean, the Spurs didn't have a superstar last year either, and they won it all. No way anyone is this stupid. And then to go on to say that coaching doesn't matter, I'm going with troll post.

[Budkin]

Also Houston barely squeaked out a win at OKC while we curbstomped them. We might lose at their place Friday but we aren't fucking losing tonight.

[spurraider21]

"Coaching doesn't matter" is arguably the most retarded mainstream take there is :lol
How is that mainstream? Its a retarded take, but not mainstream

[daslicer]

Don't care what they have to say. Spurs could lose tonight it's very possible. We'll see who comes out on top come playoff time.

[G-Nob]

No reason to believe the Rox fans shouldn't be excited right now. They've launched into the national discussion with Harden MVP mentions. There is a napoleon complex feeling in Houston with regard to craving dominance in their sports teams. Taking wind out of their sails with a blowout win, would be nice; however, counterproductive to what's most important. Saving bodies, limiting minutes and continuing to resemble championship basketball for the final four is all that matters.

[FromWayDowntown]

Come on, SpursTalk -- you know this better than anyone: the Thunder, and their multiple Finals appearances in the last 5 years, are testament to the fact that all you need to win in the NBA is 2 superstars and that coaching doesn't matter.

[Beaverfuzz]

"Coaching doesn't matter" is arguably the most retarded mainstream take there is :lol

Thank God the Slippers have Doc Rivers right? :lol

Good thing asia has us tbh...


OT I dont know why this is thread worthy tho

[bklynspursfan]

i never understood why they think they match up so well with us. 3/4 games last year they won, I'm fairly certain we were shorthanded and I think Kawhi missed 2 or 3 of those games. Kawhi out against a team with an explosive wing scorer is like an automatic L dam near. This year some how we won w/o TP & Kawhi, but Green played well and it was the night Mills came back and brought energy. If we play like we have been though, we should be able to handle them.

[Nathan89]

Kawhi is obviously better than one of there superstars and holds his own against the other. I rather have Kawhi than either of them tbh.

[houston spurs fan]

I'm here in Houston and listen to the local talk radio on my rediculous 1hr. commute. Trust me, the guys who know what they are talking about fear the Spurs. Kawhi getting a ton of respect and they think he can really affect Harden. They live and die with Harden, and they want no part of the Spurs.

[Seventyniner]

How is that mainstream? Its a retarded take, but not mainstream

It's mainstream for fans of a team with a crappy coach.

[GrandeDavid]

I say this admitting I'm a big Texans and Astros fan, but definitely not the Rockets. The fact remains is that Houston fans have no business talking junk in ANY sport. I don't care about the two Rockets titles in the mid 90s. Houston is the sports chokingest city on the planet. Forget tonight, just wait until the playoffs and watch the Rockets flop again. Just like a typical Houston team. And don't get me started on their college teams!

[Clipper Nation]

It's one of the most common takes you hear from casual fans... "talent wins, coaches are glorified babysitters, etc." :lol

[BatManu20]

Every fan base has 'tard fans. I'm confident we beat them, but they are a tough matchup for us, so wouldn't be surprised if we dropped this one on a b2b and no Tiago.

I was at the game earlier this season when we beat them at home. And that was with Dwight playing and Corey Brewer went off on us, making like 5 or 6 three's iirc. We still pulled it out. As far as playoffs go, I'd like to avoid Houston if possible, just cause they're not our best matchup and Harden will love at the line. But if we do play them, I'm confident we'd beat them.

that has to be someone from st trolling:lol

[ElNono]

It's a barometer game for them, despite how good their season has been. Even the Rockets players and McHale have been talking about this game.

Which I think it's good news for the Spurs. If we manage to whoop that ass like we did against GSW and OKC, I think it could easily mess with their heads.

I was reading OKC went on this downward spiral they're on after we handed them that 40 point loss a couple weeks ago. Then GSW lost to the Pelicans after we drubbed them. The effects on a team's confidence after those kind of beatdowns can't be underestimated, unless you're the Blazers, who just start shitting on their own pants when the playoffs are getting near. Unlike the Spurs, these teams are constantly trying to prove themselves, because they've not reached the pinnacle yet.

For the Spurs, this is a good test for our depth, seeing we will be shorthanded again.

Yep, as long as we don't lose both this is a no-lose game tonight. If they beat us close or even by 10, it's a SEGABABA anyway. If we beat them by a bit, it's pretty telling that we're the team no one wants to play in the playoffs, even over GSW.

And if we stomp them... well, let's just say they would have to treat the game on Friday like a playoff game.

Damn the only thing I care about these games against the Rox is seeding, if the Spurs were in better position...fuck them and play 48 minutes Beli and Ayres...and "forget" Kawhi on the bench all last quarter like last season. :D

Let's just completely ignore point differential :rolleyes Spurs are demolishing teams. We've had double digit leads in 21 straight games, and we've won our last 9 games by an average margin of almost 20 points. People in there acting like Houston has been just as hot as us lately.

Like how that person ignored the fact that we lost 4 straight out of the break and that our three losses after that were all garbage (NY and Cleveland especially) and the Mavs was a second half meltdown.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs now up to 6 point favorites, from 5 and 5.5 yesterday after the OKC massacre.

Depending on if Parker can suit up, PG depth is going to be huge. CoJo can't carry the load for all 48 minutes.

Mills bout to wake the fuck up and go in on that ass tbqh

LoL @ Houston when was the last time they got the advantage over San Antonio in the regular season? 1997 ?. That was a long time ago.

They losing Beverly helps.
This is now a must win for SA.

Look, if someone were to go to ST and pull random quotes from some of our idiots we would look bad too. We have some guys who post and use their trolls to agree with themselves (like Malik). Just saying, all fan sites have the village idiots including ours. That said, I'm telling you the consensus around here in H-town is fear. Most of the fan base wants no part of the Spurs. Wants to avoid at all costs no matter how the next 2 games go...

[tmtcsc]

Houston is our dark horse, so far in history Spurs never won playoff series against them, I'm also afraid of Harden, we need to be humble...

If it makes you feel better, the last time Houston beat the Spurs in the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard was 4 years old. In fact, Houston has only won one playoff series in the last 19 years. You're afraid of James Harden? There's nothing to fear. He scores a lot of points but he can't beat the Spurs by himself. Houston is in for a world of hurt if the Spurs come to play. The Spurs have way too many weapons. I want the Spurs to absolutely punish the Rockets in the playoffs. Embarrass them like they did the Thunder and Heat. They have it coming. Shoot away Josh Smith!!! Lol.

If we win tonight - great. If we lose, its no big deal. A playoff matchup between these two is what I'm looking forward to watching.

There has always been a certain amount of that. But this place has gone ape-shit crazy in the last year. I look at the posts, and it seems like about half of the posts are from the same two or three accounts. I sort of wonder if there are several people sharing the same troll account, to post that much.

I spent some time reading their forum today and most of them look absolutely dejected.

Rockets new playoff strategy, don't play the Spurs.


5.For all the discussions about playoff matchups, it always was clear whom the Rockets should have hoped to play in the first round: anyone but the Spurs. The Rockets have a chance to be one of those teams that improves through the playoffs. Wednesday’s game was just their third with their current starting lineup. Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones are still making up for all the time they missed. But to get better in the post-season would require getting out of the first round. While the Rockets are retooling again, with Donatas Motiejunas joining Pat Beverley on the shelf for the duration of the season, the Spurs are soaring into the post-season. The Rockets headed into Wednesday’s game as the West’s second seed. If they don’t beat the Spurs on Friday, they would fall to sixth. That could mean a first-round matchup with the Grizzlies, Clippers or Spurs without home-court advantage. None seems an attractive option. None seems possible for a team that will finish with between 53 and 57 wins. The Rockets should know what they want. Not San Antonio.

Coming into this season I thought there were only 3 teams that could come out of the West; the Spurs, Griz, and Thunder. Now it's really down to 2 with the Spurs and Warriors. The Rockets, like most other playoff teams in the West are flawed. They're good enough to make the playoffs in the tough West but just not good enough to be serious contenders.

sure but they are not guaranteed to face us right? that is why I said "if they get a few breaks along the way"

my point is Memphis is a team built for the playoffs and the slower half court game.

As usual opponent team fans giving more credit to Parker than own fan base tbh...

I disagree about letting Parker get whatever he wants when we put Terry or Prigioni on him. That's daring him to shoot layups and easy floaters. Parker isn't stupid enough to just do a step back long two when he's in single coverage. If he can't outright beat Terry in the lane he'll call for a pick or something.

When Parker will inevitably drive by prigs and terry Friday night I'd expect to send help from Smith, Jones, Dwight. I think the answer for San Antonio at least is to try Ariza on Parker. Put Harden on Kahwi Leonard and Brewer on Green/Ginobli. With Ariza's length Parker won't get off as many easy looks.




"Yes, but when you double him aggressively (and try to keep the ball out of his hands), he merely gets other players wide open 3's, or starts to get Leonard and Green in a rhythm. Also, despite improvement, the Rockets are not a great helping defensive team. Inevitably, somebody makes a mistake in the rotations, and leaves somebody wide open for a 3 or a dunk.

My entire premise is that Tony Parker, by himself, will not beat you... but multiple Spurs starters having big games will.

Also, Parker is the only one who can create his own shot. The others rely on him facilitating.

Make them one dimensional and it gives you a better shot to win... even if Parker goes off."


This quote tho "Also, Parker is the only one who can create his own shot. The others rely on him facilitating. " made me :lol


Spurs have multiple players than create for themselves tbh... Manu, Boris, Kawhi, Patty etc....

Thing is Teams still plan stuff on Defense to stop parker and when they don't Parker is still capable to make them pay as seen yesterday. This aspect is overlooked but key tbh fwiw

hahahahahahahahhahahaha i really hope they do this. would entertaining AF

head of the snake tbqh

[r0drig0lac]

they scared

[K...]

Having Parker play point is like free money. They have to guard him and he can tire out his guy easily if they put a bigger guy on him. You need two elite wing defenders to stop the spurs. One for Parker, one for kawhi.

They don't watch him on a regular basis like we do. Their assessment is based on a 27 point game. Some of them even consider him a Top 10 player in the league. :lol

[weebo]

Don't sleep on the Clips. Choke Paul is still choke Paul but they're playing solid ball.

The clips are too emotional for my taste. Somehow I don't think they have the mental fortitude to nut up when things get tough.

Maybe Patty can create some minutes for himself.

Last year vs OKC tbh

Tomorrow they will be discussing how the hell do you stop Kawhi.

Exactly.

Last year vs OKC tbh

Not just last year. This year they've been a lot worse. So much so that Rivers slapped some sorta gag order on the team to stop complaining to the refs.

[SnakeBoy]

Looks like they've had a change of attitude...

Feeling a bit bummed out today. When I realistically look at our back center situation and the PG rotation it is not a pretty picture. With DMo out, our middle is in deep trouble unless Howard can play more minutes. And our PG rotation is close to the bottom of the NBA, we don't match up with any body. We have major talent with Harden and Howard and a very good supporting cast with Brewer, Smith, Ariza, and TJ. Aside from that it is going to be an uphill climb in the playoffs. The depressing thing is that we could sink to the bottom of the West in no time. Must win on Friday.


23 games in a row for the Spurs having a double digit lead? God I hope not


http://www.otrcat.com/z/confused-man.jpg


damn too soon. let the wounds heal. give us a game against the knicks or philly in between.


McHale needs to show he can make adjustments here, if he does not, we're doomed! Also, how come I feel even with TJ, Dwight and Smith, we still do not have a 'big' front court?? Duncan, Diaw and others just seem much more physical and true bigs.



Another smackdown at the hands of the Spurs. McHale again is clueless as Pop coaches circles around him. McHale will make no adjustments other than "play harder" and "don't let the ball get sticky"


It feels like Popovich has figured out basketball. He's broken the game, and nothing short of a rules change will make it competitive again. How else do you explain his ability to take any scrub off the scrap heap and turn him into a winner? It's not Tim Duncan I can guarantee you that.

We play the Rockets so much better now than last year.Chandler Parson and Terrence Jones killed us last year.No more Parson and Jones has been injured all year.Too reliant on Harden.Josh Smith has helped us Match up better with them.
