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

[hitmanyr2k]

I didn't see a foul on that lol.

[daslicer]

Harden is a bitch made player. It's almost impossible to guard him since the refs are going to give you a foul 50 percent of the time if you contest him cleanly like Patty did.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi getting too many shots up. Pop brings in Fatty Mills to get Softridge some touches

[SAGirl]

Mills singlehandedly pulling Rockets back..
:lol

[FkLA]

Kawhi wearing down a little on defense. I think Danny asked him if he needed him to guard Harden for a while.

[Darius Bieber]

My nigga Rasheed Wallace keeps telling y'all, ball don't lie bitches

[Nathan89]

Dejounte isn't so bad when he doesn't have to do anything.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Harden is one ugly motherfucker, no wonder he has to pay for sex. Has a dad bod and his fucking mouth looks like he eats rocks.

He pays for it in the ass.

[NASpurs]

Everything is working out great with Murray so what does the genius coach do? Takes him out. Don't fix what isn't broken right now fuckhead.

[myhc]

Mills had his hands up but not STRAIGHT UP. They were still at a slight angle towards Harden and that's all you need to get called for a foul. Mills fucked up there.

[SAGirl]

Dafakeengineer and Xmen fanboy nowhere to be seen
:lol

[spurtech09]

How was that a foul :lolMills touched his beard I think.....

[Ice009]

Gotta get Murray back in. Mills is really, really bad. He's useless on offense and doesn't provide anything on defense. At least Murray competes on defense. Gotta do it, Pop. You gotta play that rookie. I know you don't want to in the meat of the game, but you gotta play that rookie.

[rastaspur]

Harden is one ugly motherfucker, no wonder he has to pay for sex. Has a dad bod and his fucking mouth looks like he eats rocks.

He looks creepy as fuck without that beard. That is what is so sad. That negro duck dynasty schtick is his best look.

[Nathan89]

Kawhi wearing down a little on defense. I think Danny asked him if he needed him to guard Harden for a while.

Harden hit two threes in our face and LMA fucked up and Harden got a clear drive.

[SAGirl]

Mills had his hands up but not STRAIGHT UP. They were still at a slight angle towards Harden and that's all you need to get called for a foul. Mills fucked up there.
it was a slight touch but you cannot so much as graze an elbow.

[Darius Bieber]

Rockets fans' MVP chants are for the refs tbh

[hater]

Poor Mills not his fault hes barely an NBa player

[tholdren]

it was more a reflection of the Lee/Manu/mills group playing poor when they came in. we all saw him come in nervous, but he's stayed active, once the jitters were out he's been better. and he competed on defense his length definitely bothers others.

you have no idea how plus minus is calculated do you?

[GSH]

Kawhi wearing down a little on defense. I think Danny asked him if he needed him to guard Harden for a while.


:lol

[SPURt]

Mills playing like vegemite.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi wearing down a little on defense. I think Danny asked him if he needed him to guard Harden for a while.

This is what I was alluding to when I said Kawhi is not a robot with not having TP around. TP is the only other player that can create for himself (and others) consistently and the more Kawhi has to bring the ball up or be an outlet to break the press/traps the more he will wear down.

That is that value of TP.

[noles1983]

He looks creepy as fuck without that beard. That is what is so sad. That negro duck dynasty schtick is his best look.

That's fucking terrifying tbh

[DMC]

Well the rumor mill is CP3 per Woj and coachmach87.
I wasn't seeing it until Tony got injured.

I just don't see CP3 walking away from that kind of money.

[SAGirl]

Gotta get Murray back in. Mills is really, really bad. He's useless on offense and doesn't provide anything on defense. At least Murray competes on defense. Gotta do it, Pop. You gotta play that rookie. I know you don't want to in the meat of the game, but you gotta play that rookie.
:pop: Not fair to MVPaddy

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Honestly wasn't a foul.

[Darius Bieber]

GET MILLS OUT

[noles1983]

I just don't see CP3 walking away from that kind of money.

If he truly wants to win, lots of money for sure. Most players pick the money. Cant fault them either way.

[DMC]

This is what I was alluding to when I said Kawhi is not a robot with not having TP around. TP is the only other player that can create for himself (and others) consistently and the more Kawhi has to bring the ball up or be an outlet to break the press/traps the more he will wear down.

That is that value of TP.
That and to wipe your ass.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Mills and your airballs

[BanditHiro]

good lord Mills

[TheGreatYacht]

Dafakeengineer and Xmen fanboy nowhere to be seen

[spurtech09]

Harden the only one scoring....

[GSH]

How do Danny Green and Pau Gasol let Harden get a rebound/putback like that? You got two guys there. One could put a body on Harden.

[spursistan]

Spurs lost momentum...Get Mills the fuck outta there..smh.

[Ice009]

Get MILLS FUCKING OUT. GET FUCKING MILLS OUT.

[Darius Bieber]

This is bad. This is where momentum shifts and it's all Rockets now.

[timtonymanu]

So frustrating how teams hit 3s on us yet we can't make open ones

[DMC]

If he truly wants to win, lots of money for sure. Most players pick the money. Cant fault them either way.

Making that money is winning. Would you trade that money for a championship? I sure as hell wouldn't.

[tholdren]

mills with an airball then gets blocked on same possession... bertans please

[NASpurs]

Fucking Mills :lol

[BanditHiro]

game over

[Robz4000]

Pop benching Murray completely changed the game.

[noles1983]

Aldridge deep in the paint with harden on him, passes out of it like a bitch

[spurtech09]

KL take over brother.....

[DPG21920]

People asking non-shooter TP to hit 3's while Mills airballs them.

[SAGirl]

Man Spurs wasting Kiwi's prime if they stand pat.
HOTS
:depressed

[Ice009]

i SAID IT earlier. Get Mills out. Pop has fucked this game with him on the court.

[DMC]

Fun fact: Spurs don't have a PG who can pass or shoot.

[Capt Bringdown]

Harden taking over this game

[GSH]

Second chances are fucking KILLING us.

[spurtech09]

REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

fucking Danny League

[BanditHiro]

what the fuck Green

[Ron Swanson]

Hey Danny, Pop's not in the game. Don't pass it to him.

[Darius Bieber]

WTFFFF SLOW IT DOWN. THIS IS WHAT THE ROCKETS WANT. SLOW IT THE FUCK DOWN.

[808]

Pop sit the fuck down you're confusing Danny

[SAGirl]

the curse Ryan Anderson keeping spurs in this. He was wide open.

[spurtech09]

Bring back Murray

[Ice009]

fucking hell you stupid fuck Danny. fucking Spurs man.

[BanditHiro]

holy fuck get Mills out

[noles1983]

Sloppy AF

[tholdren]

traveling

[GSH]

He fucking hopped his feet under the basket!!! He was buried and they just let him walk!

[DPG21920]

OMG. Come on guys. No ball handling outside of Kawhi leads to that. Let's Go!

[spurtech09]

More like it Mills

[SAGirl]

Nice move by Aldridge there.

[skulls138]

Pau backed off and Harden missed, nice

[noles1983]

Love that patty butt defense technique

[808]

Patty ain't scared, give him that

[tholdren]

that's why lee is in there bitches

[GSH]

I like any play that ends with Harden on the floor.

[SAGirl]

mills finally a 3

[808]

Hahah bout time Lee! Lay that bitch out

[noles1983]

patty with the vintage manu, fuck up really bad and then do something great

[DPG21920]

Thank you Patty! Nice sequence

[ElNono]

MVPaddy tbh

[timtonymanu]

Finally Patty

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Rockets complaining hard about the calls they usually get

[313]

Wow Patty i love you

[Ron Swanson]

Rockets don't like it when that shit comes back on them.

[noles1983]

damn, harden isnt hurt serious

[GSH]

He reaches around the screen and just grabbed Patty. He did that about 4 times the other night, and none got called.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

HAHA TASTE YOUR OWN MEDICINE FUCKER


PUSSY CAN DISH IT OUT BUT CAN'T TAKE IT


PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY HOUSTON PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY

[SAGirl]

Mills flopping lol give them that right back.

[FkLA]

Paddy giving them some of their own medicine. :lol

[BanditHiro]

enough of the affirmative action, get rid of the three point line

[spurtech09]

Mills finally cooking....

[Uriel]

Patty :tu

[NASpurs]

:wow MVPatty earning his paycheck the last three minutes

[noles1983]

Rockets don't like it when that shit comes back on them.

:lol

[DPG21920]

:lmao Mills got smart and drew the Harden foul

[808]

Manu wtf

[SAGirl]

He reaches around the screen and just grabbed Patty. He did that about 4 times the other night, and none got called.
Those are actually the fouls Rockets get on them too .. I would be careful getting over screens after that got called. They should call it on both ends.

[rastaspur]

Good job patty. Work the system like that burnt terrorist harden

[GSH]

Rockets don't like it when that shit comes back on them.


That wasn't a phantom call like Houston gets. He couldn't get over the screen, so he just reached around it and grabbed Patty.

[ElNono]

stop turning it over

[TheGreatYacht]

PRAYING MANURE RETIRES FUUUUUUCK

[Robz4000]

What the fuck Simmons/Manu...

[NASpurs]

Because of what Patty did, watch the Rocket fags get the same calls from now on :lol

[BanditHiro]

lol Manure letting it just sail by

[SAGirl]

Simms nice steal but then a TO

[timtonymanu]

Wtf Patty you play for the same team. Why even mess up that play?

[Nathan89]

These guards are obsessed with doing stupid shit.

[Ice009]

What is fucking wrong with these guys????????????????????????

[noles1983]

FUCKING PATTY

[spurtech09]

stop turning it over

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Rockets don't like it when that shit comes back on them.

They're not real men, apparently. Because only little girls act like that when they get a taste of their own medicine.

The whole city of Houston is full of pussies and they deserve this pussy team. Fuck 'em all.

[TheyCallMePro]

Patty just scared Manu there by running quickly by and Manu lost track of where the ball was.

[DPG21920]

I am going to develop an ulcer :lol

[tholdren]

put in bertans

[SAGirl]

Because of what Patty did, watch the Rocket fags get the same calls from now on :lol
yea, that was exactly what I replied to GSH. Got to be careful from now on.

[Ice009]

What in the fuck are you doing????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

[noles1983]

lol Manure letting it just sail by

dumb fucking aussie intercepted it

[KenziE]

LMA is mentally there. Great positioning and finishing well

why not no more TP to hold him back

[Capt Bringdown]

how hard is it to make simple passes? Cross court floaters, like a fucking JV squad.

[rastaspur]

Patty. Duck, m'fer

[ElNono]

I wanna know how long Kawhi is going to "rest"

[Splits]

Fucking Manu can't catch a basketball and, per always, blames his point guard

[GSH]

Dammit the Spurs have had some dumb turnovers here in the third, when they had the opportunity to stretch the lead.

[DPG21920]

I wanna know how long Kawhi is going to "rest"

He has had his hands on his knees a lot. Looks tired.

[twincam]

These damn self inflicting turnovers.

[DMC]

I like Aussies but Mills is so typical of the "save the world by myself" Aussie baller. His energy is good at times but he's out of control too often, and looking to make some fantastic play. Just play ball and be 1 of 5.

[808]

why not no more TP to hold him back

LMA's fault for not learning French in the offseason

[bklynspursfan]

I wanna know how long Kawhi is going to "rest"

As long as they can keep the lead. He's been letting Harden get by him a bit. Seems winded

[noles1983]

Fucking Manu can't catch a basketball and, per always, blames his point guard

dumb negro aussie fucked it up tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Every fucking time we go up 9 we turn it over. Squandering everything. FUCK

[DMC]

Good thing about this game is the Spurs usually win these shit-fests. If Houston gets serious on us it's over quick though.

[ElNono]

He has had his hands on his knees a lot. Looks tired.


As long as they can keep the lead. He's been letting Harden get by him a bit. Seems winded

This game looks ripe for the taking...

[cjw]

I wanna know how long Kawhi is going to "rest"

14:40 to go and he's played 30 (Harden 28). Imagine it's rest of quarter and maybe until first whistle in fourth.

[GSH]

C'mon guys, just finish the quarter smart.

[tholdren]

how hard is it to make simple passes? Cross court floaters, like a fucking JV squad.

in the first the pg of a professional team couldn't dribble the ball up the court.... NBA just like other pro sports are just overhyped regular dudes

[rastaspur]

Hush pat. You arent okay

[spurtech09]

LMA needs to attack.

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons!

[Ron Swanson]

Juice!

[GSH]

JUICE!!!!

[spurtech09]

Ticky Tack

[FkLA]

Why won't LMA play bully ball on smaller guys smh.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fuck Beverfaggot, that's NOT an and 1.... no fucking foul... Kawhi didn't get that one in the 1st half... FUCKER

[noles1983]

not a fan of this lineup

[SAGirl]

JSimms!!!!
I was waiting for that the entire night... but geezz why Mills why foul Beverly.

[bklynspursfan]

This game looks ripe for the taking...

Most definitely is. Harden is out too, so that helps.

[Ice009]

My goodness, Mills is complete rubbish on defense.

[Darius Bieber]

STOP TURNING IT OVER FUCKK

[timtonymanu]

Patty just keeps giving it back smh

[spurtech09]

Time to bring back Murray.....

[sasaint]

Is Beverly a FA this summer? Make a run at him.

[TheGreatYacht]

LITERALLY NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS WHEN YOU POST UP FAGGOTS

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Another fucking ticky tack....

[GSH]

LOL... Mills got shoved there, and nothing. On the other end that's a foul every time.

[cjw]

Wtf Lee? Why even be in game if useless on offensive end. 11 point game now 6.

[ElNono]

fucking posting Lee... and LMA with the fag fadeaway

[Robz4000]

This unit has been embarrassing.

[SAGirl]

not a fan of this lineup
It's Lee and Mills... terrible both tonight.

[Ice009]

Mills fucking sucks ass.

[unleashbaynes]

Turnovers man. Turnovers.

[spursistan]

these turnovers gonna come back and bite us I feel..20 pts off them for Hou..

[noles1983]

shitty lineup

[Capt Bringdown]

Mills is killing us

[spurtech09]

Keep feeding LMA.....

[Darius Bieber]

Stop making dangerous passes come on

[rastaspur]

This eould be a blowout if not for these boneheaded turnovers.

[resistanze]

Ginobili is fucking useless out there :lol

[Ice009]

I can't take Mills' poor play. Poor defense, turnovers, poor offense. what a fuck up.

[DPG21920]

7 TO's to 2 this quarter. Yikes.

[Quiet Strength]

Mills with so many mental mistakes

[tholdren]

It's Lee and Mills... terrible both tonight.

you're the dumbest

[spurtech09]

Only reason the Rockets are scoring is because of the TOs

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Is Beverly a FA this summer? Make a run at him.

Fuck that littlebitch


FUCK ALDRIDGE YOU CHOKER

[SAGirl]

That was a nice pass by Simms.
I bet if you take Lee and play Bertans this game blows wide open.
Fricking Pop with his LeeLove.

[rastaspur]

Aldridge playing tough.

[808]

Small ball line in

[GSH]

Well at least LMA made one of them.

[spursistan]

Spurs could have been up 15+...:pctoss

[mexicanjunior]

It's a shame we are shitting this game away with just retarded level turnovers. Houston would have been so beatable...

[Ice009]

and as usual choke the free throw. Man this team is full of fuckups.

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons!! Hell yea

[808]

JUICE!

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons!

[ElNono]

Simms!!!

[tholdren]

simmons!!!!!!!

[spurtech09]

Thank u Simmons

[timtonymanu]

Da Juice!!!

[GSH]

THAT's my mofo!!! Simmons 3!!!

[r0drig0lac]

my nigga simms

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons carrying that god awful unit on both ends

[daslicer]

Huge 3 by Simmons. It takes the wind out of the Rockets momentum.

[spursistan]

Huge...huge 3...by Simms..

[Robz4000]

Needed that Simmons, but still a terrible job closing out that quarter.

[loveforthegame]

Nice Simmons!

[Nathan89]

Huge shot.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Defense just horrible in the 3rd quarter.

[rastaspur]

Lucky shot.

[Darius Bieber]

Huge shot tbh, especially since we get the ball back start of the 4th

[spurtech09]

No more of this line up though.....lol

[skulls138]

Simmons no!!!!....good job

[Keepin' it real]

Is Kawhi icing his knee on the sideline?

[Spurs9]

Love Simmons, hope we can keep him.

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_HN830UAAE-LpR.jpg:large

[cjw]

Needed another one of those buzzer beaters to go Spurs way after that meltdown. Very clean look for a bad shooter. Any pressure and he's nowhere close

[DBMethos]

Love it when we hit the bullshit last second 3...happens too often against us LOL

[NASpurs]

Fuuuuuuuuck yeah

[SAGirl]

JSimmmmmssssssssss
:flag:contract year baby. Would you rather Pay Jsimms or Patty?

[Pauleta14]

Happy for Simmons

[SpurPadre]

The biggest field goal of Simmons' career right there

[DPG21920]

Totally redeems himself :lol

[hater]

Houston choking tbqh

We have a legit chance but we need to keep manu on the bench and try not to fuck it ip

[FkLA]

Huge fucking 3. Would've been pretty demoralizing to lose points off the halftime lead after being up by as much as 10.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi, we need you for all 12 minutes.

[Ice009]

Jon may have saved our asses with that shot. Great play from Simms. Mills, Pathetic.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons bailed out Fatty Mills the traffic cone and Manure No Buckets Ginobili

[GSH]

Spurs could have been up 15+...:pctoss

I'm laughing because I know somewhere Houston fans are saying the same thing.

[spurtech09]

Spurs would be up by more but the TOs is hurting us.....

[resistanze]

Huge...huge 3...by Simms..

[OrEmuN]

Simmons!

[Capt Bringdown]

Green going for the tip instead of grabbing the board - 4 point swing

[unleashbaynes]

Simmons!

[noles1983]

Fluke but nice, always can count on effort from Juice

[DPG21920]

Play a clean 4th here. Value the ball and get good looks. Hopefully some of these stupid long bounces go the Spurs way too with regards to rebounding.

[SPURt]

Stop the turnovers and bench Mills! Dude has been beyond awful.

[RD2191]

Up 6 seems too little. Not too optimistic about pulling this one out.

[NASpurs]

Pop better not fucking around starting the fourth. No cute lineups, fuck that shit.

[Budkin]

Let's win this shit please. Please?

[SAGirl]

Simmons bailed out Fatty Mills the traffic cone and Manure No Buckets Ginobili
:lol:lmao

[sasaint]

Simmons!! Hell yea

Don't know what it is about the end of quarters, but Simmons' 3-point % goes WAAAY up on those attempts.

[tholdren]

Murray game high plus 11

[noles1983]

They have those same lame trampoline dunkers we had at home. That white guy fucking sucks

[bklynspursfan]

16 turnovers... gotta clean that up. Theyll probably get going from 3 again. Cant let them get out in transition

[ElNono]

Up 6 seems too little. Not too optimistic about pulling this one out.

We get a shot at this game... not many people thought we would at this point...

[sasaint]

Stop the turnovers and bench Mills! Dude has been beyond awful.

On both ends of the court. Smh!

[hater]

Manu zero points

:lmao. Even the ballboy scored to ight

Holee sheet

[GSH]

Huge fucking 3. Would've been pretty demoralizing to lose points off the halftime lead after being up by as much as 10.


That was a huge shot. Spurs wound up with a 29 point quarter, and stretched the lead.

[Chomag]

Sorry guys but Manu is providing absolutely nothing for the spurs when on the floor.

[SAGirl]

Up 6 seems too little. Not too optimistic about pulling this one out.
You have to be optimist at Spurs being up despite so manu TO.
The Ryan Anderson curse is real.
Pop dicking around with so much Lee and too much Patty.. but what can he do about Patty with HOTS out?
Get ready for next year.
You don't have the heart.:lol

[spurtech09]

Time for KL to takeover in the 4th......

[urunobili]

Play a clean 4th here. Value the ball and get good looks. Hopefully some of these stupid long bounces go the Spurs way too with regards to rebounding.

[Nathan89]

Simmons bailed out Fatty Mills the traffic cone and Manure No Buckets Ginobili

Some people want give Patty a big contract and start him tbh

[SAGirl]

Sorry guys but Manu is providing absolutely nothing for the spurs when on the floor.
I have been saying this for a long while tbh.
Needs to fricking retire.
I am not louder bc I don't hate on the HOF player, but he's DONE.

[GSH]

We get a shot at this game... not many people thought we would at this point...


Thas' a damn fact! I'm proud as hell of the way the Spurs have played, and happy with where they are.

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh.. needed that Patty

[DPG21920]

Kawhi got solid rest and the lead increased.

[ElNono]

damn Patty, clean look

[rastaspur]

Kawhi playing the entire fourth. Green and lma need to be good in the fourth. Patty and manu dont need to wreck this. Keep it to 2 turnovers or less and the spurs got this.

[spurtech09]

why is this line up still in there?

[TheGreatYacht]

WHERE IS KAWHI WTF

[GSH]

"Meanwhile, Mills misses the 3."


They should just record that and replay it over and over.

[ElNono]

WHERE IS KAWHI WTF

[noles1983]

I have been saying this for a long while tbh.
Needs to fricking retire.
I am not louder bc I don't hate on the HOF player, but he's DONE.

His contract is pure theft

[spurtech09]

LMA and 1
