2017 Playoffs WCSF Game 3 Thread: Spurs @ Rockets (8:30 PM CT/4:30 AM Riga/ESPN)

[loveforthegame]

Guys are napping and not closing out on defense. :td

[SAGirl]

That 3 was completely give up by Lee getting screened wtf?

[808]

Whi needs to drive...

[testies]

kawestbrook

[timtonymanu]

Ugh that predictably terrible stretch cost us

[Darius Bieber]

:lol

[SpurPadre]

Bad time for Kawhi to look human...

[MVPCues]

Lee found a traffic cone...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Leonard playing like trash tonight... can't short arm those

[urunobili]

Bad shots Kawhi is choosing to take

[hater]

Miss u Tony we are nothing without u

[FkLA]

Harden is such a joke on defense. :lol

[SAGirl]

Another 3 given up by Lee..
GET HIM THE FUCK OUT POP

[noles1983]

cant guard the 3, shocker

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi missing everything - going full Kobe. Expect the Spurs to lose by 30+

[tholdren]

lee time

better than pau

[DPG21920]

Guard play has been straight up rough. You can definitely see that TP is missed.

[SAGirl]

Lee found a traffic cone...
WTF?
I said Pop's newfound Leelove was doom for this team.

[KDKSpurs24]

Patty wtf? Ariza can't dribble why tf did you back off of him? He won't do anything but shoot it.. And Kawhi is forcing

[808]

At least Lee had the brains to attack hardon in the paint

[TheGreatYacht]

White Americans do not belong in basketball

[SPURt]

Murray goes to the bench and things go to balls

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs can't generate any offense.
what's a snake without it's head?

[SAGirl]

Leonard playing like trash tonight... can't short arm those
He's bound to regress even a little. He was too spectacularly hot to be able to maintain. Others have to step up and for the love of god if you aren't scoring at least defend.
WTF with Lee.
Sit Lee

[noles1983]

Guard play has been straight up rough. You can definitely see that TP is missed.

well yeah, we have shooting guards who fucking suck at shooting and a rookie in over his head because poop never played him.

[Ron Swanson]

Lee blew right by Django. He gives zero fucks about defense.

[tholdren]

WTF?
I said Pop's newfound Leelove was doom for this team.

yet he scored, and Anderson sucks

[cjw]

I'm not sure I want to see this team have to get mauled by GS

[SpurPadre]

Positive sign is that they don't look too fast for us anymore.

[Nathan89]

There is no reason to play Dejounte over Kyle Anderson

[SAGirl]

Murray goes to the bench and things go to balls
More like Manu and Lee come off the bench and it went to shit.

[Ice009]

Kawhi's not looking good, but I think he will have a great game still. His teammates need to step up, cause the Spurs are fucked if no-one else steps up.

[NameLess Scrub]

Kawhi missing everything - going full Kobe. Expect the Spurs to lose by 30+

[noles1983]

what's a snake without it's head?

a belt?

[Capt Bringdown]

The Spurs offense:
Leonard iso
LMA iso for a low percentage fall-away outside shot
3 pointers

[Robz4000]

what's a snake without it's head?

Yep, Tony is missed massively right now.

[marinoman]

If kawhi is off we lose, better find it quick

[808]

what's a snake without it's head?

a belt... to whip dat ass

[skulls138]

I thought that was a bad shot by Kawhi before he shot it and because of that bad shot knew Arizas shot was going in. That was desperation by Kawhi and the Rockets relaxed because of that

[ElNono]

is LMA abusing Nene already? Or we have to wait until next season?

[noles1983]

There is no reason to play Dejounte over Kyle Anderson

we know what fathead will give us, absolutely fucking nothing...

[MVPCues]

WTF?
I said Pop's newfound Leelove was doom for this team.

Relax.

"Lee found a traffic cone..." = Harden was guarding Lee...

[tholdren]

White Americans do not belong in basketball

yet the level of play instantly get a better and smarter when they are in

[Robz4000]

:lmao his feet weren't even set

[Death In June]

Remember when Aldridge averaged 40 against Houston when he was in Portland? Dude is done. He should give his paycheck back.

[SPURt]

More like Manu and Lee come off the bench and it went to shit.
I was trolling, it's a mix of Manu coming on and Green going to th bench. 1-7 from 3 is hot garbage too

[spurtech09]

LMA!!!!!!

[Ice009]

Manu with his fucking risky passes. Fucking fuckwit, Manu.

[TheGreatYacht]

Literally nothing good comes out when you post up Softridge

[tholdren]

lol anderson

[hater]

Props to Aldridge

Playing solid

[TheGreatYacht]

yet the level of play instantly get a better and smarter when they are in
No. It gets slower, less athletic, and wreaks of cuck

[SAGirl]

Simms not having a good start either shit

[Ice009]

fucking anderson, blown by and can't even get the rebound. Fucking slo-mo, alright.

[spurtech09]

everything looks tough

[DPG21920]

Very poor guard play, TO's and lack of rebounding have killed SA. 2 of those 3 are correctable

[noles1983]

Nene, that nigga looks 50

[spurtech09]

Mills is garbage tonight...

[TheGreatYacht]

Fathead passing up open threes per par

FREE BERTANS

[Ron Swanson]

Dickheads shoot 25% and have a two point lead.

[noles1983]

shitty offense omg, lazy pass, shitty shot selection

[Robz4000]

Mills is just not a PG.

[timtonymanu]

Patty Mills at PG is a no.

[spurtech09]

That first half was ugh.....

[NameLess Scrub]

We're lucky Houston is missing most of those open shots they're getting

[SpurPadre]

I'd rather Murray play 40 minutes than see Anderson play another minute. His slow ass is not for this series.

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus post ups ehh... well I am glad Lee got sat tbh

[hater]

:lmao Kawhi couldnt play worse and onlu down 1

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah, Rockets shooting 10% worse than the Spurs and have the lead. This game is over, Rockets by 40+ once they get their threees going.

[Ice009]

Do NOT pay Mills big money. I'd rather a guy off the street for minimum that paying Mills anything.

[rastaspur]

Fugly quarter by both teams.

[Uriel]

Amazing with how many mistakes we made in the first, we're only down 2.

[noles1983]

how are we only down 2? fuck that was ugly. if this is our team next year i cant watch that shit

[tholdren]

fucking anderson, blown by and can't even get the rebound. Fucking slo-mo, alright.

then when Nene was driving he ran out of the paint to the perimeter instead of stopping ball. he's an idiot

[sasaint]

a belt?

So spank 'em.

[ElNono]

need more from Kiwi... only 2 pts...

[Robz4000]

Very poor guard play, TO's and lack of rebounding have killed SA. 2 of those 3 are correctable

Unfortunately the poor guard play is more than enough to lose this game quickly.

[313]

our guards can't even make entry passes :lol

[Mal]

This can turn into blowout for Houston in a second. They are missing shots, that could`ve been made. Shooting 25% from the field and yet, up 2.

[SPURt]

1-8 from three. That ain't gonna cut it

[skulls138]

Spurs are lucky this is still close. My goodness.

[TDomination]

Very sloppy, and we can't rebound

[timtonymanu]

Amazing with how many mistakes we made in the first, we're only down 2.

Houston is playing worse yet we're trailing.

[noles1983]

Patty playing his way off the fucking team hopefully.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Damn they shoot 25% and we can't capitalize

[TheGreatYacht]

When you force Patty Mills to play PG, you get two things.

A contested shot or a Softridge postup

[marinoman]

I had no idea our guard play could get any worse than what it was in the regular season

[Robz4000]

The officiating has been completely one-sided again too, but it's to be expected.

[313]

need more from Kiwi... only 2 pts...
on the bright side he was getting good looks, needs to knock em down

[hater]

Nene keeping us in the game
Obrigado

[sasaint]

Amazing with how many mistakes we made in the first, we're only down 2.

Because they are shooting worse than we are - 25% to 35%. :wow

[ducks]

Mills is just not a PG.

[spurtech09]

Lets see what Forbes can do.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs don't look confident at all.

[FkLA]

Dickheads shoot 25% and have a two point lead.

Four gifted FTs for Frauden, giving up offensive boards, and shooting 35% yourself will do that to you, tbh.

[Trainwreck2100]

This can turn into blowout for Houston in a second. They are missing shots, that could`ve been made. Shooting 25% from the field and yet, up 2.
they're actually playing about the same the difference ws the offensive rebounds

[TheGreatYacht]

Corny ass no bball IQ dudes on here wanting to pay Fatty Mills lmfao....

[Nathan89]

Anyone wanting to pay Mill 12+mil to start:lmao

Low volume TS%:lmao

[SpurPadre]

Damn they shoot 25% and we can't capitalize

Well we are missing a certain hall of fame PG who fucks teammates wives. He's pretty important...

[tholdren]

they're actually playing about the same the difference ws the offensive rebounds

thanks pau and kyle

[MultiTroll]

Turrible shot selection.
Manu on Alzheimers watch. Nip those turnovers in the bud.

[FkLA]

on the bright side he was getting good looks, needs to knock em down

Agree. He'll get it going. He always does.

[Ice009]

I had no idea our guard play could get any worse than what it was in the regular season

I wanted the Spurs to try and get a 3 and D PG, or 3 and D wing for the bench, yet they sign Joel Anthony. Still one of the most head scratching signings of the fucking year. What did the Spurs need/want him for?

[DPG21920]

The game turned when Danny got hit with 2nd bad foul. Let's hope he's not hit with a third.

[tholdren]

lol pau is so damn gay

[r0drig0lac]

nice play by danny

[140]

Poops schtick is so played out tbh

[noles1983]

love the lucky ass bounces and they get the rebound to chuck another 3

[SAGirl]

danny nice play with Pau.
I don't know about reupping Mills when Danny looks like a better playmaker and guard out there tbh

[tholdren]

pau sucks ass

[Ron Swanson]

That was at least six missed bunnies.

[spurtech09]

Wow Spurs are struggling.....KL struggling

[noles1983]

hopefully jitters are gone for murray

[r0drig0lac]

haha jesus

[KDKSpurs24]

Kawhi is overthinking this playmaking shit! Passing up wide open shots and taking bad ones!

[spurtech09]

Wow no call on KL.....Foul

[313]

Danny been our second best guard the last five quarters :lol

[Ron Swanson]

These fucks boo everything. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Horrible start for Kawhi

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn fuck you, couldn't get a bucket there

[tholdren]

put lee back in pau is shit

[spurtech09]

KL trying to hard

[noles1983]

good no call flopping faggot

[timtonymanu]

Gasol is so fucking trash

[Capt Bringdown]

Somebody named Cappella the best big man on the court

[spurtech09]

Horrible start for Kawhi

[Darius Bieber]

Gasol is so fucking trash

[808]

Keep it close til Kawhi gets it going

[Mal]

I like offensive board domination

[UNT Eagles 2016]

7 shots at the rim, 0 points. :bang

[hater]

Holy shit BFGpau fighting like a lion!!!

Love it

[testies]

this is the worst spurs team ive ever seen offensively

[TheGreatYacht]

Did gasol tear his clit?

[ducks]

Ugly game spurs adjusting without tp

[marinoman]

Someone make a shot for us!

[tholdren]

Gasol is so fucking trash

news flash

[SAGirl]

I like Pau's effort in this game.. he has been very impactful blocking and altering shots.

[ElNono]

Defense is so much better, tbh

[daslicer]

The effort is there. The Spurs just can't make shots.

[noles1983]

i really wish we wouldnt make it a habit of signing old fucks whose skills drop off a cliff when we sign them

[hater]

BFGPau playing well

Of couse we are lost without Head Of Da Snake

Thats to. E expected

[spurs10]

Pau can't buy a basket!!

[Spurminator]

Gasol should have been a 6' 5" shooting guard. What a waste of his frame.

[sasaint]

Kawhi is overthinking this playmaking shit! Passing up wide open shots and taking bad ones!

Yep. Trying to compensate for the loss of Tony, I guess. Shooting when he should pass and vice versa.

[Robz4000]

Both teams look awful, but Houston might win this just by the fact they have more NBA players on their roster. Spurs really miss Tony right now.

[FkLA]

Low scoring and physical. That favors the Spurs. Just stay within striking distance until Kawhichael gets it going.

[Holden_Caulfield]

Everyone playing like shit and only a 3 point game

[Perry Mason]

Spurs need to continue working to adjust without TP. Anyone miss him yet?

Love the effort on defense. But bunnies must be made.

[TheGreatYacht]

Everyone is tradeable except for Kawhi and HOTS....

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi's gonna have to go full on Memphis Game 4 for us to win.

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to relax....better ball movement...

[xellos88330]

Ugh.... get the ball in the hole guys!

[cjw]

Defense is so much better, tbh

This. They're cutting off cuts down the baseline, crowding drives to the hoop, and contesting. Lots of bounces not going their way. Should even put.

Offense is rough right now.

[rastaspur]

Spurs go on a run once action resumes.

[hater]

:lol

Parker is so good even Houston playing like shit without him :lol

[marinoman]

Try bertans, maybe he can get the lid off the basket

[Ice009]

If the Spurs resign Mills and I am Kawhi, I ask for a trade. That would be a humongous waste of money.

[spurtech09]

Thank u Murray!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

There you go, Murray

[hater]

:lmao Capela

[tholdren]

Try bertans, maybe he can get the lid off the basket

[r0drig0lac]

good d

[SAGirl]

Anyone wanting to pay Mill 12+mil to start:lmao

Low volume TS%:lmao
I am thinking Spurs go after a FA in the offseason to try and improve. Dijon is raw too.

[sananspursfan21]

Low scoring and physical. That favors the Spurs. Just stay within striking distance until Kawhichael gets it going.

[808]

So many second chance threes... the most annoying thing ever

[spurtech09]

Murray keeps losing the ball ugh....

[SAGirl]

Dijonnnnnnn
that's pretty!:flag:

[noles1983]

if we trot this team out there next year im gonna become an alcoholic. Without parker this team somehow forgets how to even fucking pass

[hitmanyr2k]

The refs are calling that Harden flop less and less. I love it :lol

[tholdren]

traveling

[spurtech09]

So many second chance threes... the most annoying thing everI know

[SAGirl]

Spurs lucky they didn't convert on that fastbreak.

[Budkin]

Kawhi will find his groove tonight. Not worried.

[ElNono]

why is David Lee playing????/ :pctoss

[noles1983]

Lets not rebound and give a team that likes to shoot 30 3s a game even more opportunities!!

[DPG21920]

Murray and rebounding = bad

[spurtech09]

and 1

[SAGirl]

Gasol what a nice pass.

[Ron Swanson]

Harden whining again.

[hater]

Lol why is Hardon always switched on BFGPau?


Take advantage pendejo

[GSH]

Would have been an and-1 on the other end. I don't care if it was the right call. It isn't consistent.

[sasaint]

Try bertans, maybe he can get the lid off the basket

:tu

[Budkin]

In reality though, this series is just to see who is going to get wrecked by the Dubs.

[r0drig0lac]

Pau Gasoltzky

[hater]

BCGPau!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

thats an AND1

[SAGirl]

why is David Lee playing????/ :pctoss
You can add about 1000.:smchode:

[spurtech09]

If LMA and Pau can get it going things would be easier for KL...

[GSH]

Murray didn't bite and get called for the foul on Harden. Well defended.

[hater]

BFGPau!!!!!

[noles1983]

all these long rebounds are going to the rockets, bad luck

[Ron Swanson]

Hahahaha Harden is such a bitch

[SAGirl]

what a lack of effort rebounding jesssssus

[Darius Bieber]

SO GLAD REFS CALLED THAT BULLSHIT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL

[spurtech09]

Hardern just flopping like crazy......

[808]

Wow hahah I've never thought I'd see an offensive foul on a harden 3

[sasaint]

HaHa Harden!

[tholdren]

lol hahahahahahahahaahahshshahshshas

[cjw]

Harden is such a pussy. And I don't throw that around lightly

[hater]

Great fucking d tbqh

[DPG21920]

TP was draining that corner 3 Murray just missed.

[GSH]

LOL... Harden trying to draw a foul and gets called for his third. Fuck you Beard.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Finally one against Harden for that bullshit!! Good job refs...

[Mal]

Hate Harden`s kind of basketball. Gasol is competing hard.

[noles1983]

get aids harden you flopping whiny bitch

[MVPCues]

Did he elbow Pau?

[Strategic]

Take that shit harden

[ElNono]

flop backfire goods

[FkLA]

Fuck Haren with his third foul. No more easy baskets.

[spurtech09]

No doubt Harden is not 100%......Dude is not that bad...

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol Harden getting called on his flops. More, more!!

[DarrinS]

Fagottry game of Harden exposed. :lol

[rastaspur]

Fuck harden. Came down with an elobow. Bitch made kobe move

[140]

:lmao Harden

Wonder what cuckfans is gonna say about that :lol

[ElNono]

MVPau getting it done.... give him LMA's 20 mill

[SAGirl]

Hate Harden`s kind of basketball. Gasol is competing hard.
Even with his flaws, best big for the Spurs out there.

[r0drig0lac]

foul???

[808]

I like Spurs chances with this version of harden

[tholdren]

You can add about 1000.:smchode:

cause he scores from inside. not real difficult to understand

[ducks]

Let's make shots spurs

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Leonard playing like ass more than ever before. 2 fucking points and it's almost halftime... what the fuck? We lose

[SpurPadre]

If Kawhi remembers he's our MVP, this game is over, tbh.

[Trainwreck2100]

Gasol was so damn stupid for challenging that shit, yes he got the call but harden's made his career getting fouled there

[Capt Bringdown]

Harden with 3 fouls. If the Spurs can't capitalize here, then they don't deserve to win.

[loveforthegame]

The 4 assists by Leonard is nice but he needs to find his shot right quick.

[DarrinS]

League sending a message against that shit?

[313]

No doubt Harden is not 100%......Dude is not that bad...Yeah, def not 100%, but hey, part of the game.

[hitmanyr2k]

No doubt Harden is not 100%......Dude is not that bad...

I'm not buying it. Harden has been like this in the playoffs more often than not since his OKC days.

[Robz4000]

Need to clean up the boards. Houston is getting way too many second chance opportunities, even if they've been missing most of them. Offense should come in time; even with Tony out they shouldn't look this awful.

[tholdren]

shit stat so far....

Murray leads with plus 7.... worst stat of all time

[sasaint]

TP was draining that corner 3 Murray just missed.

You are right. At least Murray took the shot, though. Maybe they'll start dropping.

[313]

MVPau getting it done.... give him LMA's 20 mill

[loveforthegame]

LMA picked the right time to show up.

[spurtech09]

LMA stepping up...love it.....Now KL needs to wake up..

[PingPong]

Harden is the MVP... for the spurs!

How many Rockets possessions he simply wasted?

[808]

Make Ariza drive wtf

[Uriel]

Harden is suffering from a gimpy knee, a sore wrist, and a fever.

He's clearly not 100%.

[timtonymanu]

We aren't gonna generate enough offense to win this game

[testies]

kawhi should never ever play pick n roll

[noles1983]

man if harden picks up a 4th before half i would die laughing

[spurtech09]

Sloppy TOs

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[SAGirl]

I fricking hate Lee tbh.. haven't felt this way about any Spur... hate him right this second.

[808]

LMA feelin it

[Ice009]

fucking MIlls, get this fucker out of the game. Spurs have no PGs AT ALL. fuck.

[spurtech09]

There ya go KL...

[cjw]

Steph Ariza

[tholdren]

scored more points in 1 game by myself in hs than spurs have at half

[Capt Bringdown]

Fuck me, when you can't stop Trevor Ariza ffs...

[BanditHiro]

fucking fluke base bitch
