2017 Playoffs WCSF Game 4 Thread: Spurs @ Rockets (8:00 PM CT/4:00 AM Riga/TNT)

[mclinejr]

I'd like to see LMA put Hardin on the ground a few more times.

[ElNono]

I'm OK with the slow start assuming they chip away and keep it close the rest of the way. I don't like early leads in Game 4s for some reason.

Spurs need to be up 10+ by the start of the 4th when Pop routinely tries to tank the game...

[PopTheGOAT]

If we lose today, whatever. Just don't get f'n blown out

[noles1983]

Why fathead gets any burn is beyond me. Arfe we that bad where that fucker has to get minutes?

[KDKSpurs24]

Kyle out there... pop with the whiteflag...
I was actually happy to see Kyle coming to replace Lee. That's how frustrated I am with Lee that I don't mind seeing Kyle come in for him :lol

[GSH]

I'd like to see LMA put Hardin on the ground a few more times.


I'd rather see Dedmon send him to the locker room.

[Spurminator]

Love what I'm seeing from LMA on both sides right now.

[mclinejr]

I'd rather see Dedmon send him to the locker room.

Even better.

[hitmanyr2k]

Harden actually looks like he's going to play a serious, non-pussy game tonight. Usually he would have 2-3 flops by now mixed in with terrible shot selection. He's been playing a decent game so far pushing the ball and setting up teammates.

[Ice009]

the moment they said Beverley's grandpa died, I knew we'd be in for a long night.

Nah, that's just soft thinking. I'll fucking bury the fucker with him. I don't give a fuck about him.

[spurtech09]

Kyle out there... pop with the whiteflag...Face palm....

[DPG21920]

Too many TO's again, leading to fast break points and also some bad luck. Capela was stripped 3 times and none led to SA getting the ball. Pace way to fast too. Chip away.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Spurs hit their FT's, could have been a 5 point game. Right now their defense is failing them badly.

[$pursDynasty]

I'm glad Pop took David Lee out of the game!
This, I would have preferred Dewayne over fathead but Lee had to go

[testies]

we got to ride aldrige on offense

we already got eliminated when kawhi tried to be our offensive leader by OKC and clippers when we were doing just fine with Aldrige ISOs against Adams and kanter

[Splits]

Manu out there... pop with the whiteflag...

fixed

[Robz4000]

If we lose today, whatever. Just don't get f'n blown out

I'd rather lose a blowout than a close game. Those definitely affect teams more mentally than blowouts.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Points in the paint, 18-2 holy shit :lol

[GSH]

Simmons with the man's rebound. No second chance there.

[spursistan]

How is Lee getting minutes over Dedmon is beyond me..

[100%duncan]

Aldridge is such a faggot :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Rockets had a harder time getting layups in warm ups, come on guys

[808]

Juice baby!

[timtonymanu]

Simmons has been key this series

[spurtech09]

Thank you Simmons...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Damn it Lamarcus you had the mismatch!

[GSH]

Points in the paint, 18-2 holy shit :lol

How did we get 2?

[myhc]

JUICE is terrific now

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How is Lee getting minutes over Dedmon is beyond me..

Agreed, this is not a series for Lee.

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_RJNvDUIAAn0HC.jpg:large

[r0drig0lac]

simms is the man

[Ron Swanson]

Free throws :depressed

[Robz4000]

Simmons playing well

[spurtech09]

Get Harden in foul trouble.......

[Chinook]

Clutch Fans: Simmons flopped.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Need more of that Jonathan!

[PopTheGOAT]

I'd rather lose a blowout than a close game. Those definitely affect teams more mentally than blowouts.
Nah, if we are losing big, then fight back it won't affect them. If it was close throughout that might drain you. A blowout would give them confidence

[GSH]

Two Manu buckets? In one game?

[hitmanyr2k]

Simmons reminds me a lot of Lance Stephenson...and that's not a compliment :lol I think he'll be another "good news, bad news" player.

[ace3g]

Manu!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How did we get 2?

Don't even remember, tbh

[ElNono]

Manuuu!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Is lee an idiot??!

[ElNono]

shoot it Patty

[Ron Swanson]

Several chances to get it down to 5 and it's back to 10.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lee is brutal, Spurs rushing their offense

[Barfunk]

Free throws fucking us

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to learn how to post up

[$pursDynasty]

WTF is Lee doing back in there.crappy line up

[ace3g]

Well had some momentum ...

[ElNono]

wtf is the fetish with Lee?

[Robz4000]

Lee has no business being on the court.

[spursistan]

How is Lee getting minutes over Dedmon is beyond me..
:lmao..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

This defense is the worst I've seen from the Spurs yet... 32 given up in the first? UGH

[spurtech09]

ugh TOs TOs Tos

[KDKSpurs24]

Take Lee and Manu out!!!!! Fuck!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Make that 34 allowed. Still first quarter. Pathetic

[100%duncan]

Our bigs are so retarded :lol Seriously fuck off with Lamarcus, even when that dude scores 26 it's so ugly to watch since all his moves are inefficient fadeaways

[testies]

how many wasted CHANCES

[noles1983]

spurs shit to close the quarter per par

[spurtech09]

wtf is the fetish with Lee?Rather have Dedmon....

[$pursDynasty]

LMA wouldn't post up Anderson

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Gonibli trying to do too much, and Spurs playing iso ball.

It's incredible how soft the Spurs become when they have momentum in a series. Hopefully they can get it down to single digits by halftime, but Houston is playing the offense they were expected to.

[resistanze]

Bench giveth bench taketh away

[Robz4000]

Fuck David Lee

[808]

Well, harden played the whole quarter

[timtonymanu]

lol I knew the team would fag it up after that Lou Williams 3. Oh well, 2-2 it is.

[DPG21920]

Absolutely inexcusable offense that last minute. Disgusting.

[FkLA]

Terrible close. Fucking Turnobili struck when the Spurs were making a run.

[Quiet Strength]

So many spurs shouldn't be on the court.. that's whats scary about this team.

[Horse]

Fucking Rockets begging us to beat them and we won't cooperate.

[ElNono]

6 turnovers in the 1st... that's a killer...

[spurtech09]

Had the chance to shorten the lead but Spurs screw up......

[DarrinS]

Settle down folks. Three more quarters

[noles1983]

lee and fathead combo is a fucking disaster. they both bring absolutely nothing. Our bench is such trash, so much dead weight. Keep simmons, fuck everyone else tbh.

[GSH]

Rather have Dedmon....


Bertans is a damn good rim defender. I wonder if that could help against a team getting most of their points in the paint?

[timtonymanu]

How is Lee getting minutes over Dedmon is beyond me..

Pop is such a faggot. Closet racist too

[Robz4000]

LMA has been decent enough tbh. The main issue has been Gasol/Lee being awful on both ends.

[Nathan89]

Pay Patty:lol

[100%duncan]

I dont know who has more faggotry, Spurs bigs or Spurstalk :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs need to attack the rim more, too easy to stop SA's offense when they're content settling for the first available shot

[hoopdreams11]

can we see Dedmon in meaningful minutes Pau and Lee suck tonight

[ElNono]

guess Kawhi is in the doghouse now?

[noles1983]

So many spurs shouldn't be in the NBA.. that's whats scary about this team.


FTFY

[$pursDynasty]

Pop needs to stop being so stubborn, Lee is giving us nothing positive on either side of the floor, I'd rather have Dewayne's defense over Lee's turnovers

[Horse]

This game is so winnable is we stop fucking around

[GSH]

Notice how Harden is having a good game, and nobody is speculating that he's playing injured? If he goes cold this game, they'll be making that lame-assed excuse for him. Book it.

[DPG21920]

Mills with another horrific stint. He caused a ton of the problems you are blaming on Lee and others.

[DarrinS]

guess Kawhi is in the doghouse now?

What did he do?

[100%duncan]

Also, Kawhi played pretty bad in the 1st. Shitty start

[spurtech09]

can we see Dedmon in meaningful minutes Pau and Lee suck tonightHaven't done anything all series...

[SpursIndonesia]

They have no shot blocker and our guys are bricking shots from mid range / outside, disgusting. Kyle Anderson really has no business playing in this series, damn.

[RD2191]

What a load of shit.

[100%duncan]

:lmao

[UNT Eagles 2016]

What did he do?

Missed free throws, too passive (been that way all series so nothing new), not a factor on defense

[spurtech09]

Bad start

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Simmons is a train wreck, come on boys let's play some good basketball for the first time all night

[ElNono]

What did he do?

he was playing pretty bad D, tbh

[DPG21920]

Have to comeback here with no Harden

[RD2191]

Yeah, this game is over.

[spurtech09]

Game 1 all over again.....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lee sit the fuck down :lol

[SpursIndonesia]

Mills with another horrific stint. He caused a ton of the problems you are blaming on Lee and others.

This guy is SIMPLY NOT A POINT GUARD/PLAYMAKER, it is so obvious it hurts. :bang

[Capt Bringdown]

Missed FT's early seem to suck the confidence out of this team. Gonna be a long night.

[Perry Mason]

Good news is that this isn't Game 1. But like others have noted, these lineups...Lee and KA? What?
I guess Pop is trying to see what works and has some theory. Like, "We need to lose to have appropriate fear" :pop:


LMA needs to stop with the weak sauce fadeaways. And Gasol, ugh, such terrible conditioning. Old man tonight.

[$pursDynasty]

Lee gtfo

[tholdren]

kl worst player on court says plus minus

[spursistan]

Embarrassing effort..

[Ron Swanson]

Getting wrecked by Scrubela

[palangi]

How many more shots do we have to see made over mills until Murray gets back in.

Try going strong lee!

[808]

Kawhi aggressive as fuck now

[spurtech09]

KL fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GSH]

Fuck that. If that was Harden, there would have been two whistles there.

[tholdren]

Lee gtfo

fuck off

[ace3g]

slowly chip away, can't get it back all at once...

[DPG21920]

Mills continues to get abused. Man I miss TP

[spursistan]

Get Lee the fuck out there..He' been a cancer..

[Barfunk]

make your fucking layups got damn

[ace3g]

Simmons concentrate on the finish not the move...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Getting wrecked by Scrubela

fuck that ape

[100%duncan]

Kawhi woke up finally

[spurtech09]

Nice ball movement

[808]

Single digits just like that

[ace3g]

Jonathan Feigen Jonathan_Feigen
(https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen) 6m (https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/status/861394707598934016)
Nene is out for the remainder of the game with a left groin pull.

[turkish spurs fan]

simmons miss layup

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Weather the storm!

[palangi]

Lee is is worthless out there.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Single digits just like that
Meh. Call me when it's tied

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Gotta do something about Capella and limit the Rockets from getting into the paint.

[Capt Bringdown]

How many layups are we going to miss?

[myhc]

kawhi woke the fuck up and is lighting up

[ElNono]

kiwi!

[tholdren]

Get Lee the fuck out there..He' been a cancer..

you're a retard he jest gave spurs a 5 0 run. stupid

[NameLess Scrub]

:lol posters talking like Spurs had figured out the Rockets.

We are at the mercy of their offense.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi playing much better so far in the second quarter. Lee still should not be on the court.

[GSH]

WTF is D'Antoni whining about now? Get that guys some Midol.

[testies]

Nice kawhi
drive against the scrubs

when the starters are in, pass to lma

[spurtech09]

Why can't the Spurs play like this all 4 quarters.....When the ball movement is pretty its hard to stop the Spurs.....

[007nites]

Kawhi with the come back

[100%duncan]

Gotta do something about Capella and limit the Rockets from getting into the paint.

Start a game thread in clutchfans maybe?

[Nathan89]

Why can't the Spurs play like this all 4 quarters.....When the ball movement is pretty its hard to stop the Spurs.....

Because LMA is a ball stopper.

[palangi]

We've missed so many layups and free throws.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs only chance was to injure Nene tbh

[GSH]

How many layups are we going to miss?

To be fair, there has been a LOT of contact on a lot of those missed layups, and they don't blow whistles on our end. But I'm pretty sure there was no contact on all the missed FT's.

[Robz4000]

:lol posters talking like Spurs had figured out the Rockets.

We are at the mercy of their offense.

Defense has been fine enough. Problem has been turnovers and bad offensive possessions. Lee and Gasol have been worthless.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs only chance was to injure Nene tbh

If it works, great.

[PopTheGOAT]

Let's get this back to even. Don't like going down 12-14 and fighting to get it back to 6-8

[GSH]

Spurs only chance was to injure Nene tbh


Groin pull. He gon'.

[DarrinS]

Spurs only chance was to injure Nene tbh

You're only chance at sex is to go fuck yourself.

[ace3g]

Needs to be 4-5 pts before halftime.

[spurtech09]

Wow these refs lol

[808]

Meh. Call me when it's tied

ill let you know :toast

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I wish Gasol would have made that he sucks at ft.

[testies]

which is their other big? dekker?

[GSH]

Groin pull. He gon'.


And now 3 fouls on Capela. If our bigs can just play with some balls, this will be a game before the half.

D'Antoni is such a whiny bitch.

[100%duncan]

Alright, looks like this is the lou williams bullshit game

[spurtech09]

Pau needs to find his game...There is no excuse there is no Nene

[Uriel]

Just keep it close. Keep it close. Keep it close.

Then steal the game at the end.

[Ron Swanson]

No Nene or Capela. Need to punish them inside.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs need to to within 3 by halftime

[spurtech09]

Alright, looks like this is the lou williams bullshit gameI know

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[ace3g]

Kawhi !!! and 1!!!

[808]

Whi is woke :claw

[Southwest Texas Fan]

And 1!

[tholdren]

kl ha

[spurtech09]

WOw KL

[100%duncan]

fts :lmao

[testies]

groin injury

how probable will he be out for another game?

or is this 1 and done injury?

[Ron Swanson]

WTF is up with the free throws?

[noles1983]

KL!!!!

[ace3g]

come on FTs don't be a story for this game...

[spurtech09]

Spurs missing a lot of FTS

[Robz4000]

If Pop plays non-retarded rotations I think the Spurs win.

[Uriel]

Reggie Miller says some outrageous things, but he's definitely improved as a commentator.

[GSH]

6 missed FT's keeping this from being a tie game.

[tholdren]

gasol is gay.

[$pursDynasty]

Pau can't won't post up Harden, such a pussy

[PopTheGOAT]

:claw

[FkLA]

Why can't any of our bigs post that faggot up? Jesus christ.

[GSH]

Reggie Miller says some outrageous things, but he's definitely improved as a commentator.


I don't know... that's a lot like saying Kim Jong Un has improved as a dictator. Really low bar.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

How many orgasms does have when the rockets score?

[Capt Bringdown]

Can Reggie Miller be our next coach?

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't know... that's a lot like saying Kim Jong Un has improved as a dictator. Really low bar.

:lol

[DAF86]

Horrible D by Danny there.

[Ron Swanson]

Can we stop letting Harden have a free pass to the basket?

[testies]

harden can defend the post actually
i think kd said that once

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Damnit the rockets are going cold. We need to get within 3.

[Barfunk]

I don't know... that's a lot like saying Kim Jong Un has improved as a dictator. Really low bar.

[testies]

manu absolutely hacked on his basket

wtf and the ref had a clear view of it!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Leonard is choking hard...

[Robz4000]

Cannot let Houston get second chance opportunities playing this small. Good timeout.

[spurtech09]

Would be nice if Pop would put dedmon in there.....

[PopTheGOAT]

I love this lineup for us tbh

[noles1983]

Rockets have no bigs, and we cant even zone at the 3 pt line? Fuck they are terrible at guarding the 3

[myhc]

I don't know... that's a lot like saying Kim Jong Un has improved as a dictator. Really low bar.

you win

Missed FTs will be the difference.

Signed
Captain Obvious

[coachmac87]

Missed free throws really hurting right now

[hitmanyr2k]

This is the worst interior defense I've ever seen for the Spurs. It's like a layup drill for Houston.

[turkish spurs fan]

we are good at 3pt defense

[KDKSpurs24]

Why the fuck would Danny left a left handed star drive LEFT?! And why would he let him drive middle?! That's an advantage for them because he can get kick to shooters if the help comes. Wtf?!

[mclinejr]

I like that the Spurs defense has their shooters scared.

i don't like that they aren't make FTs and are refusing to post up.

[baseline bum]

Fucking Gasol can't back down James Harden?

[Uriel]

I still remember the days when James Harden was known as the black Manu Ginobili. Watching these two go at it right now reminds me why that was the case.

[SpursIndonesia]

If Pop plays non-retarded rotations I think the Spurs win.

So fucking THIS !!! :tu

[hitmanyr2k]

Leonard is choking hard...

???

[$pursDynasty]

Why can't any of our bigs post that faggot up? Jesus christ.
Harden is a defensive beast, Pau is scared. If he is this big of a pussy with Harden on him, heaven help us when Raymond is smh

[GSH]

Spurs are shooting 42% from the floor, and 7-13 from the FT line, and they're only down by 6. This game is there for the taking.

[100%duncan]

Hard to guard the path to the rim when you need to keep your hands up against Harden. People need to go for the context, Green has been solid defensively so far.

[PopTheGOAT]

Leonard is choking hard...
You can't choke in the 2nd qtr of a game 4. And even if you can, this isn't it

[DPG21920]

I am so pissed at Mills level of play. I need to just adjust my expectations I guess.

[vander]

loved when Simmons and Kawhi pulled the Harden moves, why don't teams do Hardens cheap shit right back at him/them more often?

[313]

harden can defend the post actually
i think kd said that once
defend other wings, sure, but i don't care if it's michael Jordan out there defending them, our bigs should be feasting on guards in the post

[tholdren]

Fucking Gasol can't back down James Harden?

no. which is why no one smart wanted to sign him. shit post play shit ft... why you want him?

[Barfunk]

Spurs can't hit open shots

[100%duncan]

Green outfags Ryan anderson

[$pursDynasty]

Patty invisible

[Chinook]

God, I hate Pop time-outs

[Ron Swanson]

Shut the fuck up, Anderson

[spurtech09]

ouch Manu got hit in the back.

[100%duncan]

make up call :lol

[Ice009]

Forget cutting into the lead. Spurs are fucking it all up. Pathetic effort. Going to go down double digits.

[hitmanyr2k]

How about letting Kawhi take the next 3-4 shots?

[tholdren]

Anderson is shit, on both teams

[DPG21920]

Huge miss by Danny. 6 point swing then a TO.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs respond to the Rockets "bigs" being out with a flurry of 3pt shots

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ugh Anderfag is a flopper......

[DAF86]

Nene's injury might end up being a blessing in desguise for the Rockets.

[FkLA]

Stop posting this faggot up.

[spurtech09]

um Anderson was pulling Lma Jersey

[808]

How are they not calling pulling on the jersey??

[PopTheGOAT]

Frickin aldridge

[ace3g]

Patty !!! needed that

[resistanze]

LMA is so fucking stupid

[Ice009]

srubridge is back.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi getting freezed without the team's 2nd best player playing. FUCKING FAGGOTS FORCING 4 DOWN

[ace3g]

another quick response...

[spurtech09]

would be nice if Spurs can play some defense..

[GSH]

Anderson pulling toward him by the jersey, and then flop like he'd been hit by a truck. And the refs reward him. SMDH.

[SpursIndonesia]

TP will score everytime against donut defense like this, instead we got LMA shitty post up.

[313]

How about letting Kawhi take the next 3-4 shots?
he's barely touched the ball in like five minutes :lol

[tholdren]

put i n lee

[PopTheGOAT]

Frickin aldridge
!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

As much as it pains me to say Harden is making some great passes.

[spurtech09]

How are they not calling pulling on the jersey??
rigged

[turkish spurs fan]

lma is dead

[ace3g]

Maybe Bertans will get some minutes

[FkLA]

GTFO faggot. Single handedly responsible for this shit atretch.

[$pursDynasty]

Put in Dewayne

[DAF86]

Why the fuck Lee instead of Pau?

[spurtech09]

Put in Dedmon hello
