Rockets @ SPURS - 3/6 7:30 CT 3:30 AM Riga time 10:30 PM Campana

[SupremeGuy]

I'm in fucking awe. Blessed be Kawhi...

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL, D'Antoni will be screaming about the Spurs on his deathbed. Spurs continue to skull-fuck his sorry ass.

[Cry Havoc]

RIP Darius Beiber :lol

He probably still thinks we're going to lose by 25 in overtime.

[CGD]

Kawahi is a cyborg

[loveforthegame]

Leonard showing no mercy. He will not let this team lose.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi Leonard is limitless. Honestly. His ability to steady himself and just get things done is unreal. So many special moments. So many big plays. So many narratives going on that he might or might not be aware of. He just stamped MVP on Harden's forehead and Harden was amazing himself.

[SASdynasty!]

Kawhi OMG

[BillMc]

Okay, Bill. Put down the rancid chicken and man up. That was an MVP finish for damn sure.

Without a doubt. Kawhi is the man. Happy I put "short term" in my remark. :lol

[Uriel]

:lmao Clutchfans


Execution at the end. The Spurs are possibly the best team at finishing games. The Rockets had a bunch of mistakes, Kawhi played his ass off, and the Spurs still only managed to squeak by. Sucks that we lost, but we are right there with the Spurs and this game just proved that the Rockets are contenders.

[tonight...you]

Totally fun 4th quarter to watch with the wifey.
We knew Kawhi was going to bring it home. We watched, live, the past few games.

That man is da True MVP.

Pops is the luckiest man alive.

[99 Problems]

Haha, remember the old 'Kawhi gunna burn down cities. Real MVP.

[GSH]

That sequence might have won Kawhi the MVP this season.

Also :lmao at Dantoni whining about refs when he got EVERY call for 3.5 quarter.

That was a big win folks.


In a head-to-head matchup with Harden, you bet it will make a difference. Anybody who's going to cast a vote is going to remember that performance. That 3-pointer was just stone cold.

[r0drig0lac]

Is Kawhi Leonard god?

yep

[BillMc]

LOL, D'Antoni will be screaming about the Spurs on his deathbed. Spurs continue to skull-fuck his sorry ass.

Other than the flukey 1st quarter, the Spurs controlled that game.

:toast That's okay. I've already eaten crow in the other thread about it. That was amazing!

[bklynspursfan]

Rockets have easy bucket after easy bucket, while the trash ass Spurs have to work for every brick. This might be a 40 point loss or more.

DB with the goods. You've been wrong countlessly bro

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Kawhi is a god.

That block was some otherworldly shit. He's a soul-stealer. Shades of fucking 2014 against Westbrook.

Great 3rd Qtr from the HOTS. That was huge.

I gotta give props to LMA for the second block too.

[$pursDynasty]

Whose got game grades for this masterpiece?

[DPG21920]

Lot's of people chipped in and there was a lot of bad luck too (SA missing some bunnies on great moves, HOU hitting some tough ones).

Spurs played really bad defense in the first half. Really bad. They gave up a lot of rebounds they should not have. LMA played the most disappointing game I can remember from him. But they stuck with it, TP came up big when they needed him and Kawhi just played a superstar game on top of Harden's superstar game.

[Ice009]

Kawhi's teammates need to help him out more. They need to be telling him after this one that they will try harder and back him up.

Anyway, man, Kawhi, I can't believe how great he's made himself. Unbelievable performance from Kawhi.

[DPG21920]

LMA, while playing a very disappointing game, made some winning plays towards the end.

[GSH]

I agree 100%. He made BIIIIIG shots tonight. We couldn't have done it without him.


It helped that the Rockets decided to just stand and watch him shoot over and over again. Fucking Mike D'Antoni teams. :lol

[Down Under]

Leonard really is as good as anyone in the league right now, no doubt.

[DPG21920]

In a head-to-head matchup with Harden, you bet it will make a difference. Anybody who's going to cast a vote is going to remember that performance. That 3-pointer was just stone cold.

Absoultely. Like I said, this was the epitome of the MVP race. Harden put up an MVP performance on the road, but there just so happened to be another MVP level performance that stood out even more because it meant making plays on defense as well and getting the win.

[BillMc]

Pop's gotta rest half this team against the Kings. RRT plus these last 3... recharge the batteries for Saturday.

[RD2191]

Great team effort with Kawhi closing in the end, as it should be. Props to Parker for keeping us close with some timely buckets in the 2nd half.

It looks like they are going in without any scouting report, playing their shit, and then adjusting as they go.
You can see the defense changing after the 1st quarter and throughout, becoming more and more effective.
It's been that way for the past several games, if not more.

[TXstbobcat]

8 wins in a row and 10 out of the last 11. :flag:

Interesting take. But if you're the Spurs that's what you do - play bad defense the first quarter and dig yourself a hole to climb out of. I hope they can clean that up before the playoffs get here.

It's good to know we're capable of digging that hole and climbing right out of it. :lol Not that hard to do against such a shitty defensive team as Houston. Sean Elliott was clowning on their defense the entire game. He knew.

I'm going to use a term I've never used before - ever. That last 3 by Kawhi was Jordan-esque. That was a must-have possession, and he was just stone cold. No hesitation, and not thought that it wasn't going in. Throw in the block (and his overall defense)?

Doesn't make him Michael Jordan, but that right there is the stuff that a real MVP is made of.

Another thing is Kawhi is doing this shit every single night. He's come up huge in the 4th/OT these last four games. Harden is shooting under 40% since like February and 44% overall. Today was not the norm for him and it still wasn't enough.

Kawhi pretty much shut down harden in the second half. Sure he escaped a few times and had a few buckets, but he bothered the shit out of him and his PNR shit.

After that superhuman effort by Kawhi, you can't blame the league for trying to find out whether there was any Super Soldier Serum involved.

[bklynspursfan]

Lee, Parker, and Manu were also quite good tonight.. They kept the team in it in the 3rd allowing Kawhi's brilliance to take over late.

LMA was solid down the stretch, still too passive with smaller guys on him, but he's had worse games. Pau struggled (which isn't surprising against this team) and Dedmon didn't play smart. Lee might be the guy against Houston

[FkLA]

His block was #1 on Sporstcenter Top 10.

Personally, would've included to the two-play sequence, tbh.

Also was an 8 second violation on Kawhi tbh

They replayed the game, so I recorded it. Just looked at that ending. There were 10.6 seconds on the clock when the Spurs inbounded. The clock started instantly as the ball touched Kawhi's hand. The ball crossed the mid-court line with 2.9 seconds left on the clock. It was well over the line when the clock read 2.8.

It was close. But zero doubt that it was across the line in time. When you slow it down, and can watch the tenths of seconds click off, it's really not even that close. By the time the full 8 seconds elapsed, the ball was way, way over.

I heard Kawhi may have pumped his sneakers up beyond the legal limit. You might want to look into that. There must be some way you can discredit the win. :D

lol what? there are very few guys who make THAT 3, that was ridiculous. that's the kind of shot spurfans love to mock when other stars take and miss.

lol what? there are very few guys who make THAT 3, that was ridiculous. that's the kind of shot spurfans love to mock when other stars take and miss.how many game winning 3's have there been in the NBA this season, and how many game saving blocks at the rim have won games this season?

[cutewizard]

About to exceed Scottie Pippen as the best two-way forward of all time....

but in order to do that, need at least one more title in the Leonard era, and at least one more Finals MVP......

------------------

would love to see Kawhi against Scottie, what a match up would that be.....

[alpha_HaZE]

Kawhi absolutely destroyed James Harden, however let's be honest this type of play is not sustainable; Not matter how well he plays, we cannot expect him to keep shooting 80% beyond the 3 point line. Having said that, let me repeat he absolutely destroyed James Harden!

Both scored 39 points, which is a ridiculous numbers for either of them, but Kawhi did it by taking 2 fewer shots. Kawhi had more rebounds, twice as many, more steals and more blocks. Harden had 12 assists with 7 turnovers, Kawhi had 5 assists and only one turnover. That is 6 turnovers for 7 assists, if you think about it. Horrible ratio.

To only worrying fact is that Kawhi had to play inspired basketball and it was a close game till the end, just like our first game. The Rockets will be a tough out in the Playoffs. We literally won the game because of our superior 3 point shooting, that will not be there every night. And they will have their share of playing inspired basketball like we just had.

All the more reason to get the first seed and set the warriors and rockets on a collision course. Yeah, the Clippers have had our number but they look awful now and may not even get past the Jazz. Best case scenario we get the 1, the Clips slip to 6 or 7 and thus the Dubs, Rockets and Clips are all on the opposite side of the bracket. That might mean the Jazz or Grizzlies or even Thunder in the semis, but I'd be OK with that.

I'd love this:

1. Spurs
2. Warriors
3. Rockets
4. Jazz
5. Thunder
6. Clippers
7. Grizzlies
8. Nuggets

Is it me or does Rachel Nichols hate the shit out of Kawhi and/or Spurs? Not one nice word on performance/sequence and then randomly posts this while everyone is talking about Kawhi

樂 https://twitter.com/hpbasketball/status/839015926825639936

She'd assuredly be doing backflips and worshipping WB with constant tweets had he done what Kawhi did tonight. I've been noticing her reluctance to give him any credit for a while.

Expecting her to further discredit Kawhi on The Jump tomorrow.

wow, even though some bench players are arguably better than some starters for SA, that 1.1 is really surprising

is there any site that still does simple unadjusted on court / off court? or is it all this net rating / RPM /per 100 possession crap now?

she's alright, just realizes how lucky she is to have the show that could and should have been Cassidy Hubbert's. Therefore she feels forced to tow the company line and the company is pushing the Harden/Westbrook for MVP narrative. That is the NBA ESPN wants.

You can't tell me none of yall cats in here wouldn't give Nichols the D. Just sayin...

Stephen A. just shit on Kawhi on First Take, saying it's blasphemous to compare him to Jordan, and that he should be compared to Scottie Pippen instead.

So Kevin Durant will bite part of Kawhi's ear off?

And did Mike think Evander was only doing work because of his trainer's system?

[bklynspursfan]

Rockets fans...


"The Spurs played as well as they can play and we still should have despite not being at our best. Our upside is huge."

Hilarious that some of them think that.

[BillMc]

And did Mike think Evander was only doing work because of his trainer's system?
It was kind of true. As soon as Cus D'mato died Mike's skills declined quickly and he just became a headhunter. Granted a very dangerous headhunter, but he started taking damage because his defense went to hell.

[SpurPadre]

Great. There goes any playing time for the next 8 games.

This is different. He didn't say "Gee whiz, it would sure be nice to get a little more playing time" like Dedmon said earlier in the season, tbh.

I was talking about Evander but I agree with you about Tyson.

[GSH]

Here - this is on the front page of NBA.com. Why focus on the dumbshits who are talking Kawhi down?

Leonard’s come-from-behind block not only preserved the Spurs' 112-110 victory*-- their eighth in a row -- but should have refocused the race for MVP. For while Harden and Russell Westbrook have been piling up points and ridiculous stat lines since October, it is Leonard who has been relentlessly and ruthlessly constructing an all-around resume that makes him the most complete player in the game.

It's like they haven't been watching this series. Anderson and Gordon ALWAYS shit the bed, and this is the first game in like the last seven where Green hasn't torched them. Not to mention they should be still having bad dreams about LMA. A series would be violent. Thinking five-gamer.

Agreed. I remember Green torching them in Houston, so maybe he just likes playing there.

If our guys show up, it should not be a long series. I would welcome playing these guys. Just a shame TD isn't here, he never got a chance to eliminate the Rockets

The local media has really been pushing this narrative lately, but they're doing so with little to no context. This is a historical offensive era in general and season specifically. All kinds of ridiculous counting and advanced stats are being assembled. Rule changes and superior shooting/spacing has given players advantages offensively that those of yesteryear didn't enjoy.

To give you an idea of the extent of the difference between eras, only the Mavericks aren't averaging at least 100 ppg. In Duncan's MVP seasons, in the first, only the Mavericks, Lakers and Magic did and in the second, only the Mavericks, Warriors and Lakers did.

Leonard's usage percentage is also 2 and 3 percent higher, respectively, than Duncan's MVP seasons. Of course, he's also a far superior range shooter, so naturally when you combine all these things, he's scoring more, but I still think Duncan was the better offensive hub.
