2017 Playoffs WCSF Game 2 Thread: Spurs vs Rockets (8:30 PM CT/4:30 AM Riga/TNT)

[GSH]

Have to admit that Patty is playing solid D

Don't you hate it when they do that? As you were typing that, Patty plays pylon on Lou Williams. :lol

[FkLA]

Kawhi's one-on-one game is some video game shit. That efficiency is insane.

[Capster]

:lmao not looking good

Rockets will lead by double digits by the end of the quarter book it
WOW...if you only had a brain! Lmao

[DAF86]

Stop trying to get cute and give the ball to Kawhi. He needs to have at least 10 fg attempts on the 4th.

[TheRemix]

Nice cut JSimms.

About time they listen to you

[atoyotagaspedal]

I think the Queen is dead

[hater]

Thank God Poop put Kawhi back in

Otherwise this woulda been ugly

Kawhi looking a bit tired thou

He needs to rest for a bit

So this is dangerous

Holefully Parker can take us home

[Ice009]

Man, our bigs need to punish little guys. They can't even score on one of the worst defenders in the NBA in Harden, and he's a little guy. Unreal. Our bigs are shit at being bigs.

[sasaint]

We ain't winning this series.

I would agree at this point. I can't see us winning even one game in Houston to regain home court advantage.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

No "refs you suck" chants :lmao
I prefer the good ol' "Bull Shit"... "refs you suck" is way too over-used.

[pgardn]

How are we winning this contest with literally zero inside game from our bigs?

LMA is not right.
Gasol needs to get his rear going.

We pull this out, huge.

[DarrinS]

Simmons getting up in Harden's shit

I keep wishing anyone will make him work on D.

[daslicer]

If Pau can't post up Harden and can't play defense why is he on the court?

Not defending Pau but floppers are the hardest players to post up. It can go either way with the refs when you post up Harden. I think that causes guys to hesitate at times when Harden is switched on them in the post area because they are scared of drawing an offensive foul.

[GSH]

Travel


I told you. The Spurs aren't getting the benefit of any calls here. They're gonna have to do this shit the old fashioned way.

[cjw]

I know LMA has an excuse but what about Pau Gasol?.....Dude is playing like poop....

He's had three blocks on easy layups. Is altering shots at glass but is awful in pick and roll. And losing Harden in transition that one time (though he did miss)

[SAGirl]

We won't survive this series with lma and Pau giving us nothing.
Manu has been pretty bad too. It's taken a group effort by all others...
I think it's a given LMA is not a star player right now. He's fine with what he's been doing but I do wish he was stronger at the rim ... may be past his prime.. Pau is obviously over the hill right now.

[NASpurs]

Houston could play with five midgets and Gasoft and Softridge wouldn't know what to do. :lol

[DAF86]

Simmons showing up:tu

The worst part about the Spurs' tendency to attempt post ups is that not of their bigs are actually good at it anymore:lol

Pau or Aldridge vs. Beverley or Harden in the post isn't even a mismatch anymore, tbh..

Just give the ball to Kawhi everytime. Post ups, isolation, pick and roll. Whatever, just give it to him.

[pgardn]

Way too fucking passive... why the FUCK does he only have 12 shots? That's bullshit

They are doubling the crap out of him as they should. KL is fighting for everything.
Watch.

[$pursDynasty]

Both Gasol and LMA have become unplayable.
Yet no Dewayne

[FkLA]

Just give the ball to Kawhi everytime. Post ups, isolation, pick and roll. Whatever, just give it to him.

They have started doubling him tbf.

[GSH]

I keep wishing anyone will make him work on D.


I liked it because right after Simmons made that shot, he went and got right up in Hardon's face.

[DMC]

Why is KL deferring in pressure moments? To D League players?

KL needs to step up.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice hustle by Simmons

[KDKSpurs24]

It's very difficult to keep a lead the whole game like this. We have to play super hard or they will take the lead

[TE]

Parker and someone are gonna have to help Kawhi out. If not. Houston wins.

[ElNono]

Maaaaannuuuuuu

[Pauleta14]

Have to admit that Patty is playing solid D

What???

[bklynspursfan]

I would agree at this point. I can't see us winning even one game in Houston to regain home court advantage.

From what i saw, Ryan Anderson plays worse at home vs the road. So maybe that'll help even the playing field if that does happen

[NASpurs]

Simmons :wow :wow :wow

[Ron Swanson]

And fucking 1!

[SAGirl]

I keep wishing anyone will make him work on D.
Actually Danny was driving on him no problem...

[ElNono]

AND1 bitches

[spurtech09]

Nice dunk by Simmons.

[rastaspur]

14 feet tall combined. 35 million combined salary. And cant muster up a productive post possession. Not much return on investment. Warren buffet wouldnt invest in these turd towers

[GSH]

Simmons!!! We needed that energy right now.

[ace3g]

Juice!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Simms my nigga

[cjw]

I take back everything bad I've ever said about Simmons

[bklynspursfan]

Bringing that Juice!

[DAF86]

I WANT SOME NASTY, SIMMONS!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Just give the ball to Kawhi everytime. Post ups, isolation, pick and roll. Whatever, just give it to him.

Agree. Softridge should only be a finisher


THA JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE

[hater]

Simmons!!!!!!

[sasaint]

Man, our bigs need to punish little guys. They can't even score on one of the worst defenders in the NBA in Harden, and he's a little guy. Unreal. Our bigs are shit at being bigs.

[313]

JUICE

[tholdren]

that's the way you're supposed to play
pop

[SAGirl]

Simms!

[bklynspursfan]

All this with Kawhi on the bench. Hell yea

[GSH]

Simmons wanted to lift off for the 'oop there. :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Up double digits 4th quarter now... DON'T LET UP :ihit

[spurtech09]

Manu more active :)

[ElNono]

come on Manu

[rastaspur]

Savy move by old man river

[ace3g]

Simmons aka

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/ZackP/GARBAGE_PAIL_KIDS-34.jpg

[hater]

Damn Manu looking like a D leaguer at least

Thank god

[spurtech09]

Up double digits 4th quarter now... DON'T LET UP :ihit

[SAGirl]

Is this a small lineup by Pop?
:toast

[ElNono]

lol Pringles bitching when Hardon got 3 freebies

[Ron Swanson]

Pau!

[NASpurs]

Parker to Gasoft with the screaming dunk :wow

[spurtech09]

Just rest LMA the rest of the way.

[SAGirl]

More
like tiny lineup...

[$pursDynasty]

HOTS

[r0drig0lac]

Gasol!!!!!

[tholdren]

gaysol

[Capt Bringdown]

Keep LMA's ass glued to the bench for the rest of the night.

[rastaspur]

Come on spurs. Lets bring a gun to a knife fight and finish these bitches

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That's our advantage against them. Our bench beats theirs, badly.

[hater]

Gasol with monster Rebounds

Looks like an adult playing with 8 year olds :lmao

:lmao dantoni

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, this Rockets' unit got destroyed:tu

[sasaint]

Damn Manu looking like a D leaguer at least

Thank god

:lol :tu

[FkLA]

:flag:

[spurtech09]

That's more like it Gasol.......

[baseline bum]

At least Gasol fucking dunked it. Take notes LMA.

[SpurPadre]

Pau playing hard tonight.

[313]

they don't call him MVPau for nothing

[TheGreatYacht]

PArker and Patty together = GREAT THINGS HAPPEN

Love this small ball unit so much

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Come on spurs. Lets bring a gun to a knife fight and finish these bitches

14 up... Don't let up!!! :ihit :ihit :ihit

[Trainwreck2100]

Damn, this Rockets' unit got destroyed:tu

by a small ball lineup no less

[bklynspursfan]

Pau went up strong!! 0_0

[HarlemHeat37]

That's our advantage against them. Our bench beats theirs, badly.

Not really, tbh..Houston is unpredictable in every individual game, Gordon and Williams can easily go off for 20 each..

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Finally Rockets missing! They aren't making everything like the Warriors.

[RD2191]

IT'S AMAZING WHAT A LITTLE YOUTH CAN BRING TO A GAME.

[DAF86]

They have started doubling him tbf.

Yeah well, give it to him and then play 4 on 3 from that double. I'm not saying Kawhi should shoot it everytime, I'm saying he should get it everytime.

I'm sick of tired of seeing 2 or 3 straight turns down the court where Kawhi doesn't even touch the ball.

[hater]

Gasol looking like BFG out there :lol

[SAGirl]

HOTS came to play TBH has to be recognized. that Pau dunk completely fed by Tony.

[100%duncan]

For the first time in the playoffs, the bench came to play :lol

[Ice009]

Simmons started this by punishing a little guy. That's how you punish a little guy. Fucking dunk it on him. This is what the Spurs needed to do. Play well when Kawhi was not out there.

[spurtech09]

Keep LMA's ass glued to the bench for the rest of the night.Yes....rest that knee...Put Dedmon in there.......

[bklynspursfan]

Is this a small lineup by Pop?
:toast

I think it works better vs their 2nd unit. 2 bigs did better to start this game, but it probably depends on how Green/LMA/TP are playing too.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They are doubling the crap out of him as they should. KL is fighting for everything.
Watch.

So... Shoot over the double.

[RD2191]

Still plenty of game left, let's not start blowing each other just yet.

[313]

Damn, this Rockets' unit got destroyed:turockets role players look very human when harden isn't setting them up tbh

[DarrinS]

Parker to Gasoft with the screaming dunk :wow

Need more of that

[rastaspur]

People wanting ryan anderson to off himself. Im thinking aldridge doing it might be a better option. Just bench him. Fuck his feelings

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

HOTS came to play TBH has to be recognized. that Pau dunk completely fed by Tony.
Yep! Tony has been a great #2 on this team so far this postseason. Without him stepping up Memphis is playing Houston right now.

[GSH]

Love to see a Spurs avalanche here, and win this thing by 25. Even better if Anderson's wrist is fucked up.

[HarlemHeat37]

Every Spurs player looks so happy to be on the floor without Aldridge, tbh:lol

[Keepin' it real]

Push the lead over 20 pts and then keep going, please.

[pgardn]

1. Leonard
2. Parker
3. Gasol rebounding and blocking shots.

4. Simmons finally adding an unexpected punch.

This is it folks. This is our way so far. We are out if the above has not happened.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker + Patty units can take us all the way

[SAGirl]

Also, note that bench run came in a small lineup that Pop would not have tried had Lamarcus not gotten that 4th foul...

[NASpurs]

Live by the 3, die by the 3 Rockettes

[sasaint]

Yeah well, give it to him and then play 4 on 3 from that double. I'm not saying Kawhi should shoot it everytime, I'm saying he should get it everytime.

I'm sick of tired of seeing 2 or 3 straight turns down the court where Kawhi doesn't even touch the ball.

Exactly!

[ElNono]

get to 120

[spurtech09]

Attack Attack

[Ice009]

Manu has been pretty bad too. It's taken a group effort by all others...
I think it's a given LMA is not a star player right now. He's fine with what he's been doing but I do wish he was stronger at the rim ... may be past his prime.. Pau is obviously over the hill right now.

He's not past his prime. His workout regimen during the off-season is why he is here now. He's done it to himself. He needs to work his ass off during the off-season like Kawhi does. Not walk off and say "nah, I'm done" when he's working out with Tim Duncan.

[Ron Swanson]

Finish these fucks

[GSH]

If Simmons hadn't turned back, he would have drawn a whistle. He needs to stay away from the 3

[hater]

Gasol BFG owning the boards

[bklynspursfan]

Shit..TP better be doing his usual stay down

[Ron Swanson]

Oh fuck

[ElNono]

HOTS down

[RD2191]

WELP SERIES OVER. SEE YA GUYS.

[313]

of course :pctoss

[DAF86]

Fuuuuuck, no Tony.

[r0drig0lac]

damn

[spurtech09]

Aw crap Parker down

[GSH]

Oh this is fucked up.

[hater]

Thats season smh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

HOTS done for the series

[FkLA]

Fuck HOTS no

[Robz4000]

Fuck, there goes the season.

[pgardn]

No...........

[Darius Bieber]

FUCK OF FUCKING COURSE. IT CANNOT BE HARDEN, IT HAS TO BE A SPUR. WTF FUCK THIS SHIT

[Dancelot]

Suit up Murray

[ElNono]

:lol start Paddy krew

[spurtech09]

Not good.....Tony

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Oh well we can win without HOTS

[rastaspur]

Damn. That doesnt look good

[Sigz]

Acl

[baseline bum]

Well fuck

[NASpurs]

Nooo....


...

[hater]

Good bye folks this is a fucked up way to go

[noles1983]

we fucked

[Uriel]

Fuck me.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Well Parker`s career may have just ended...

[TheGreatYacht]

Season over

[ElNono]

probably Beverly, that dirty piece of shit

[SAGirl]

It doesn't look good if Tony doesn't recover from this tbh

[Nathan89]

The head of the snake:depressed

[cjw]

Even with that Simmons miss, it's fine at this stage as they used up the whole shot clock and didn't allow transition points

Never thought I'd say let's pray for Parker. Hopefully just hyperextended but will impact him rest of playoffs. There goes any minuscule title shot...

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Joel Anthony is ugly as hell, tbh..wasn't ready for that shot of him on my screen..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCK OF FUCKING COURSE. IT CANNOT BE HARDEN, IT HAS TO BE A SPUR. WTF FUCK THIS SHIT

And not Softridge, unfortunately...

Fucking Amused

[DAF86]

Well, that looks season ending.

[bklynspursfan]

The way some of y'all talk, we're better off if Murray plays instead of TP.God i hope its nothing serious. Sit tonight, but hopefully ready for Friday.

[RD2191]

TONY?!?!? POR QUE DIOS?!?!?! POR QUE NO ALDRIDGE?!?!?!

[SAGirl]

Beverly kick ... unintentional I think but still bad news.

[ElNono]

Wow, Joel Anthony is ugly as hell, tbh..wasn't ready for that shot of him on my screen..

:lol

[hater]

Wheels fell out

[Capt Bringdown]

Not our year, it seems.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

There goes the series. Lucky Rockets.

[$pursDynasty]

Shit our 2nd best player. Hopefully he can walk it off because goodness knows no else besides the Kingslayer is doing anything

[SupremeGuy]

Of course he hurts himself when he's finally playing some good ball again... smh

[Chinook]

Gonna be running with Murray, eh?

[atoyotagaspedal]

God damn and he was doing so good.

[tholdren]

Suit up Murray

could be best injury of season tbh

[MVPCues]

sigh

[daslicer]

probably Beverly, that dirty piece of shit

Unfortunately worse then that. Parker injured himself with the awkward landing.

[spurtech09]

Hope Tony is ok......

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-8_b0bUMAAj1md.jpg:large

[ElNono]

TONY?!?!? POR QUE DIOS?!?!?! POR QUE NO ALDRIDGE?!?!?!

callate puto

[SAGirl]

The way this place was, we're better off if Murray plays...smh

God i hope its nothing serious. Sit tonight, but hopefully ready for Friday.
I have a lot of belief in Murray's ability but he hasn't been made ready let's be fair to him.

[noles1983]

WHY CANT THAT BE HARDEN?

[TheRemix]

Welcome to san antonio cp3..

[ECOV]

everybody giving up per usual :rolleyes

[TheGreatYacht]

If it's an ACL, he's out next year too.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pretty cruel that Parker gets hurt while he's playing his best ball since 2014, tbh..

[rastaspur]

Parker slayed all dat married ass today for nothing. Winds up blowing out a knee worst case. Dang

[NASpurs]

https://www.frenchs.com/media/209574/dijon-detail.png

[noles1983]

carried off, that fucker done

[GSH]

Gonna be running with Murray, eh?


The stuff legends are made of.

[DAF86]

I never thought I would feel so gutted because of a Tony injury this season.

[Trainwreck2100]

that pretty much guarantees us the series though, because GS doesn't play healthy teams

[hater]

Fuck if tony is out I stop watching this tbqh

Houston will wile the floor with us

What a disaster

[FkLA]

Fuck is he done?

[DMC]

Release the Gimp, Murray Up.

[Splits]

Watching on a stream with live action during timeouts.

Players carried him off, he couldn't even limp off.

He's done.

[Capt Bringdown]

Never heard an arena go so quiet.

[palangi]

Sucks to see a Spur legend go down. But note we get to see Murray. And he will get playoff experience now.

[twincam]

Simple fix. Kyle Anderson as the point guard. Problem solved. We need his speed.

[Uriel]

Wow. He couldn't put any pressure on it. Got carried off the court by his teammates. Looks bad.

[100%duncan]

Season over bros

[Ice009]

Look at that ugly fuck Harden showing those crooked teeth of his.

[james evans]

cculd we have a Bledsose/Brady situation here with the spurs?

[cjw]

that pretty much guarantees us the series though, because GS doesn't play healthy teams

x100

[noles1983]

I refuse to watch a warriors/rockets 3 pt contest. fuck everything about that

[SPURt]

Shit, this is bad.

[TDomination]

Freakin a man, this sucks :(

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'm really enjoying these commercials right now TNT.

[daslicer]

You idiots Murray is not ready for this type of situation yet. Parker was playing at a high level.

[FkLA]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-8_b0bUMAAj1md.jpg:large

Damn :(

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck. He's done.

[Capster]

Can already see the Spurs losing both in Houston.
Go away hater!

[spurtech09]

Over :(

[Dancelot]

could be best injury of season tbh
Could get interesting

[313]

859975773914058752

hes done :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Smh Spurs luck

[Budkin]

TP the warrior.... fuck.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn, ACL? Time to step up Dijon.

[rastaspur]

Hes done for the season. Smh

[GSH]

There you go Simmons. Keep going strong and drawing those whistles.

[spurtech09]

Well time to blow the team up.

[noles1983]

Thank god we have Aldridge to pick up the slack!

[ElNono]

wonder if we can get out of that contract now, tbh...

[DAF86]

I love Murray, but expecting him to deliver on the playoffs after barely playing during the season is not realistic.

[bklynspursfan]

I have a lot of belief in Murray's ability but he hasn't been made ready let's be fair to him.

Belief is fine. But TP has been so good. Murray cant shoot the ball like he can. This team has been better with TP

[cjw]

Bryn Forbes better be ready to suit up. This is a disaster

[SpurPadre]

Time to make good on that promise, Murray. Fuck...

[Chinook]

The stuff legends are made of.

Can think of less epic storylines.

[DMC]

Tony will come running back onto the floor ala Paul Pierce. This is his Lebron moment. Tony gets to go into his offseason with a clear conscience, right now trying to hook up with Pau's other GF,

[baseline bum]

I never thought I would feel so gutted because of a Tony injury this season.

No shit. No way he plays again this year.

[rastaspur]

Simmons having a good game. Agressive as always but under control tonight

[spurtech09]

Doesn't matter if Spurs win tonight the series is over :(

[sasaint]

I have a lot of belief in Murray's ability but he hasn't been made ready let's be fair to him.

Not at all. What we used to call baptism by fire. Smh!

[GSH]

Beverly SHOCKED that they blew that whistle. :lol

[Capster]

Bye bye lead.
Say what???

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Hes done for the season. Smh

Probably career at this point

[NASpurs]

#StartPaddy :wow

[313]

I love Murray, but expecting him to deliver on the playoffs after barely playing during the season is not realistic.
Pop won't even play him tbh

[rastaspur]

Come on kawhi. Take it over

[ElNono]

MVPaddy

[ace3g]

Patty up!!!

[soxxx]

Pattys going to get to prove he is the GOAT now.

[Ron Swanson]

Oh shit Patty

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Patty. Need you man. Desperately

[unleashbaynes]

I can't fucking believe Parker just blew his knee out. Absolutely devastated.

[spurtech09]

Harden ugh with the bads....

[DAF86]

:wow Patty

[bbarry]

harden :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Budkin]

No shit. No way he plays again this year.

Replay didn't look that bad... you really think?

[r0drig0lac]

fuck off hardon

[sasaint]

No foul against Patty?

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao Harden looks like such a clown when he doesn't get the phantom 3-point call, tbh..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

that pretty much guarantees us the series though, because GS doesn't play healthy teams
LMAO :lol

[pgardn]

1. Leonard
2. xxxxParkerxxxx
3. Gasol rebounding and blocking shots.

4. Simmons finally adding an unexpected punch.

This is it folks. This is our way so far. We are out if the above has not happened.

[rastaspur]

How was that not a foul on beverly?

[Trainwreck2100]

Replay didn't look that bad... you really think?

that's why its bad

[r0drig0lac]

rox team with the meltdown

[NASpurs]

Here comes LMA!!!.. for some reason or another, to do something.

[GSH]

Oh shit, LMA back in.

[bklynspursfan]

Reggie mad that wasnt on Pau

[RD2191]

LMA in?

[ElNono]

here comes pecho frio aldrige
