If this series goes 7 there's ONE day off before they play the Warriors in the WCF...what a joke

[Robz4000]

I'll say it now: if this series goes 7 neither team will take a game from the Dubs. The NBA's scheduling of these playoffs has heavily favored the Dubs/Cavs and, what's more, they aren't even trying to be transparent.

Spurs have a history of blowing critical home playoff games. Last year against OKC. LAC the year before that. And OKC in 2012.

Here's hoping history doesn't repeat itself.

[Chinook]

James Harden is shooting 29 percent from the floor when guarded by Kawhi Leonard in this series, including just 10 percent from three. When not guarded by Leonard, Harden is shooting nearly 50 percent.

We've seen this type of stat many times, and it's misleading as hell. What they mean is that if Kawhi is still guarding Harden by the time he shoots, he doesn't shoot well. That makes sense, because it means that Harden hasn't gotten around him, forced a switch or something else like that. That inherently biases the sample to good Kawhi possessions. Kawhi's been the best Harden defender so far, don't get me wrong. But he pretty much went up and down with him last game with James scoring at nice clip. Trying to say, "It was actually on Pau when Harden beat Kawhi and got the layup" doesn't actually fix anything.

The Spurs are already playing Kawhi on Harden. The solution to checking him isn't more Kawhi, as the stat would imply. It's trying to shore up those possession that end in "others" or by going back to the Game Three strategy of not caring if Harden scores.

Exactly. Kawhi being a great defender doesn't mean much if he just constantly gets screened off Harden and we end up with Aldridge or Pau on an island.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need all their shooters. Mills has to be a better PG (which I don't think is possible vs playoff game planning), Danny has to hit 3's too.

But most importantly is that with Pop going big, SA has to get Pau/LMA in better situations more consistently. Also, do not overreact to Harden as difficult as that is. If he scores 40 ok - just make it a chore and be disciplined on the others.

For the love of God - take care of the ball. The TO's kill you at both ends so badly.

you only end up if with that if you switch ... having Kawhi fight through screens the whole game could be too much though and impact his offensive efficiency

I agree, Game 3 Harden went HAM, but no one else did, maybe that's the best strategy.

In Game 4, Anderson, Gordon, Williams and Beverly all had fantastic shooting percentages as well as Harden. That's too much to overcome.

[Dex]

The Rockets have shown their hand. They are going to chuck from long-range, and live or die by the 3, especially with Nene gone.

If they shoot 45%+ from deep, they will probably win.

If we can either defend that, or if they just miss...Spurs chances go up significantly.

This. Except Spurs won't just defend that. Either Rockets have a good night or not.

Chances are they do.

Rockets in 6.

[itzsoweezee]

So Gordon's starting in place of Anderson. What is Popovich's big adjustment going too be? Start Lee?

[Indazone]

Smallball vs Bigs and Inside Post Game. Three point shooting and seven seconds and less vs slow down half court offense. Who will win the scoring and rebound battle? 😁

[itzsoweezee]

It worked in game 3.

Gordon-Harden-Ariza-Bev-Capela

That's scary.

But we need to treat Lee like a superstar

[itzsoweezee]

A Murray-simmons-kawhi-green-lma/gasoline/Dedmon lineup should be able to dominate the boards, score inside, and defend the rockets small ball lineup. I hope Popovich is willing to make the adjustment.

[RD2191]

Pop is a stubborn senile faggot, hell make adjustments in the 2nd half of game 6 after we lose tonight.

I'd be interested to see what those numbers were in the Spurs' two wins.

[polandprzem]

I'd rather trap harden then make quick switches. Spurs mostly switched without any hesitation and lived with reality of having LMA guarding harden and it was not giving us any good. Thing of course with traps are that james is a great passer and can find an open guy. So if the Spurs wants to try that it's important to shut down first pass and Spurs knows the % of where those passes go.

And for sakes - kill them inside - esp with Capela out

[apalisoc_9]

Exactly. Kawhi being a great defender doesn't mean much if he just constantly gets screened off Harden and we end up with Aldridge or Pau on an island.

Kawhi needs to go under screens...Instead of switching...Seems like Pop is intent on the switch tho

[Horse]

Stick to the game 3 game plan and we win going away. hardon will likely have even less help seeing that it's a road game. Let him go for 50, give up layups if you have to just no 3's to get these fucks going. And they must be smart offensively so if they miss they can still get back on D.

[Chinook]

Kawhi needs to go under screens...Instead of switching...Seems like Pop is intent on the switch tho

With the way Harden is shooting, going under screen's isn't a great idea. Then you add in that it's a simple (but illegal) move for the big to "pop" out Against Kawhi to force a switch, and you can see why they don't do it.

[JuneJive]

The barrage of 3's. Will be tough. You can only do so much as far as defense goes. Does it really come down to them being hot or cold? I don't see any other way. And I'm saying that because our offense, despite Houston's porous defense, can't get us enough points to negate their, shall i say, luck based system.

[spurs10]

Pop is unlikely to open with a small ball rotation. Hell have LMA out there at the 4. I do think we'll play more minutes with Kawhi at the 4. If LMA starts attacking the rim it's a different story. Jumpers over little guys will need to stop.

[Horse]

Playing the rockets is like playing a little kid in Madden he'll hit a few bombs for touchdowns but if you stay the course you will win if you try to play like a kid you will lose

LMA made it very clear he did not want to play center. He does not want to be the only big man on the floor.

Can't get this dude off the team soon enough.

[spurraider21]

when the rockets go small... we really cant match up with them very well on D. the only way to counter it is to bully them in the paint and force THEM to adjust.

You know, it is possible to attack a small lineup without going through the post. Let Simmons, Kawhi, and Murray attack the rim. Rockets can't stop that.

[Chinook]

Apa's favorite player Ryan is not going to start tonight, so we're looking at Bevery, Gordon, Harden, Ariza and Capela. Seems easy enough to match that by starting any of Simmons, Anderson or Bertans. I'd prefer Kyle for versatility, but you could probably have guessed that. Bertans should get minutes in one of the units, though. And Simmons will get time regardless.

[sammy]

Stop playing David Lee! They score over him or he turns the ball over! Play Dedmon, we need rebounds!

[bklynspursfan]

I think we'll see more small ball with Simmons tonight. Its been highly successful, and no better time to go with that than a pivotal game 5.


Meanwhile, lineups with Jonathon Simmons at power forward next to either Gasol or Aldridge in the past three games since the Game 1 blowout that stunned the Spurs are plus-17 in 25 minutes. They have been excellent.

He may not start small, but i think we'll see it more

[Darius Bieber]

It's over, everyone here knows it. If Houston plays even 70% to their potential, they'll win by 30. Games 2 and 3 were flukes where Houston couldn't even buy a basket.

Can't get this dude off the team soon enough.

I think that;s been over blown, he didn't want to play center full time like Bosh did. He seems fine doing it in stretches. Capella is the only other big on the floor, he shouldn't have any issue with.

[r0drig0lac]

I'll say it now: if this series goes 7 neither team will take a game from the Dubs. The NBA's scheduling of these playoffs has heavily favored the Dubs/Cavs and, what's more, they aren't even trying to be transparent.

Dubs would probably sweep anyway

[cd021]

I was worried about Mike D'Antoni bringing Anderson off the bench after game 4. He could play Cappella the first 7 minutes of the 1st and 3rd quarter before subbing in Anderson and having him play the final 5 minutes of the 1st and 3rd and the first 5 minutes of the 2nd and 4th (two 10 minute stretches). That is the time when Leonard gets his rests.

Even if Leonard plays 40 minutes, he would still be off the floor about 12 of those 20 minutes unless Pop changes his rest patterns.

[turkish spurs fan]

97-112 win

[Nathan89]

:claw

[marinoman]

Such a mistake to keep playing 2 immobile bigs and no bertans. Especially when Pau is shooting rim grazing fadeaways on harden and the rockets keep going smaller and smaller.

When we go on runs it's usually with a small lineup, look at the lineup that broke the game open in game 2 in the 4th. Some people made the thought that "Oh it happened cause Parker got hurt" nope, it happened cause of the small ball lineup

I'd like the Spurs to find a way to get Gasol/LMA deeper in postups when they get switches with guards. For a big, it's harder to dribble against a guard and they struggle to back down while avoiding the offensive foul.

When LMA is on the block, Gasol keeps running under the basket at least. :tu

[ElNono]

LMA and Pau can't punish Harden on the block :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Pop yelling at the refs re Harden on Pau. Hes hacking away

[NASpurs]

Patty 3rrrrrrrrilllls

[808]

Paddy heating up

[Ron Swanson]

Patty!!

[ace3g]

Good on ya Patty!!!

[808]

Where's the foul?? Hardens off arm going into pau??

[TheGreatYacht]

Marv Albert is a senile rapist

[atoyotagaspedal]

Pretty smart by Harden to lock his arms on Pau

[99 Problems]

Little General tbh..

[tholdren]

LMA and Pau can't punish Harden on the block :lol

bunch o pussies

[NASpurs]

:lmao wtf was that foul, fucking bullshit

[808]

Green gotta hit those... missing that shit leads to easy transition points

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Maaaan, Spurs playing really well but only up 4.


Fuck.

[Ron Swanson]

WTF refs?

[tholdren]

killer travel man

[FkLA]

Missed two good looks to get the lead up to 10 smh.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs playing out of their minds perfectly, only up 4. Yeah, Rockets by 35+.

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge's fatass giving their shooters 10 feet of space

[emanueldavidginobili]

LMA and Pau need to get their touches deeper in the post!! what is this middle school?! basic stuff

[TheGreatYacht]

Not surprised the refs continue to fuck this team at home. Weakest crowd in the league won't do shit about it

[mclinejr]

Hardin is getting away with so much hacking and hitting.

[twincam]

Don't understand the need for shooting 3s so much for the Spurs. POST UP!!!

[TheRemix]

Spurs need to attack the paint

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Don't understand the need for shooting 3s so much for the Spurs. POST UP!!!

LMA and Pau are struggling posting up Harden, no joke

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Lee in. God damn our coach is trash.

[NASpurs]

Poop wearing a poop colored suit, so fitting.

[mclinejr]

Lee is in.

[tbdog]

They going to LMA one on one while Gasol in the rebound position with Harden on him. It is a great strategy.

[r0drig0lac]

Simmons!!

[ace3g]

nice decisive move by Simmons

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons isn't scared to go at Harden

[NASpurs]

Kawhi: "Let go of me" :lol

[tholdren]

Spurs need to attack the paint

cue simmons

[TheGreatYacht]

No clear path?!?!?! WTFFFF

[808]

Ryan looked surprised they called a fouled

[tholdren]

Simmons isn't scared to go at Harden

got to make him work on both ends

[testies]

kaWOW kaBOOM

[tholdren]

No clear path?!?!?! WTFFFF

harden has gotten away with 3 obvious fouls

[NASpurs]

:lmao Lee on Harden

[testies]

make him drive you fucking retard

[808]

Let the fucker drive!

[r0drig0lac]

Lee is garbage...Pop is a joke

[TheGreatYacht]

NO MORE WHITE AMERICANS GOD DAMN IT

[NASpurs]

That fucking white ref needs to accidently break his ankle running down the court already.

[Robz4000]

Anderson at the 5 is already outrebounding the Spurs.

[tholdren]

make him drive you fucking retard

yep

[NASpurs]

Harden gets a hardon with Lee. Poop can't see it while everyone else can.

[emanueldavidginobili]

if these guys dont get right on James Harden!!!! make him drive by you!!!!!!!!!!

[DAF86]

There's no point in having Lee guarding Ariza out there and switching on Harden. Even fucking Anderson would be more useful than him.

[808]

As fucking pop is too stubborn to do shit about Lee

[Darius Bieber]

lmao this team is trash

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, disheartening first quarter, Spurs playing SO well and now Rockets can take the lead, wtf.

[Robz4000]

Fuck Pop and _avid Lee.

[testies]

Poop throws yet another game

[timtonymanu]

I hate our offense

[RD2191]

lmao this team is trash

[NASpurs]

Dedmon is going to start when that GAME SIX PANIC BUTTON is pressed next game. Too little, too late.

[808]

How many switches til Pop realizes its killing the team

[testies]

I already had to sit through David Worst eliminating us vs OKC

now this

[Darius Bieber]

After all this, rockets will win the quarter. All you idiot Spurs fans can now see this team is trash.

[mclinejr]

Lee needs to come out.

[dabom]

Is Lee fucking retarded?

[emanueldavidginobili]

David Lee is retarted!!!!! professional basketball player doesnt get the basic concept

[KDKSpurs24]

Lee doesn't need to play ANYMORE

[Chinook]

Lee needs to come out.

Pretty sure the dude is straight, even if he's letting Harden fuck him in the ass.

[mclinejr]

After all this, rockets will win the quarter. All you idiot Spurs fans can now see this team is trash.

"You" Spurs fans? You are a Lakers fan. Good to know.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs been getting cucked by switching for 3 postseasons now

[NASpurs]

Spurs running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

[emanueldavidginobili]

good job pop sit 25 year old KL with no fouls....

[resistanze]

Don't understand why theyre not forcing Harden to drive

[spurs10]

Lee on Harden isn't working rather them get a lay up than switch.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green keeps getting cucked by players on the corner

[NASpurs]

LMA is so fucking trash, get that bum off the team next year ffs.

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck you Pop

[bklynspursfan]

The overhelping for that Ariza 3 man.... smh

[tholdren]

Lamar Odom is better than Aldridge, and I'm talking post crack

[GSH]

Fiucking Reggie Miller: "The question is, how many minutes can Patty Mills play tonight, being inserted into that starting lineup?"


I dunno, Reggie. Doe starting mean that Murray can't play just as many minutes as the last two games? Damn I'm tired of fucking stupid statements today.

[timtonymanu]

LaMarcus small time playering like usual. He's not gonna do shit in this game while we blow this series in 6.

[hater]

LaMarsha :lmao

[mclinejr]

Pretty sure the dude is straight, even if he's letting Harden fuck him in the ass.

Nice.

[TampaDude]

3 after 3 after 3. Aren't we supposed to have a good perimeter defense?

[Darius Bieber]

Houston playing better D than the Spurs. God this team is the laughing stock of the league.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are fucked, Rockets ball movement is a million times better.

[baseline bum]

Spurs -8 since Simmons came in.

[dabom]

Lma offense. :lmao

[testies]

Lee was responsible for a 10 point run

him and Poop of course

[ElNono]

Ariza >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Green

[RD2191]

:lmao just lose this and start the rebuild, trade everyone but Kawhi.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Green getting a pass for his garbage ass defense? Worst 3pt defender in the team

[weeks]

lma is so bad.

[DAF86]

D'antoni smiles everytime he sees the Spurs are going to give the ball on the block to Aldridge.

I've never seen such a winnable series being made so tough by stupid decisions.

[Robz4000]

Such a great start wasted by a shit-for-brains coach.

[td4mvp21]

LMA is so fucking trash, get that bum off the team next year ffs.

Agreed, but Pop continuously forcing his post ups is criminal.

[marinoman]

Don't understand why theyre not forcing Harden to drive

[bklynspursfan]

I get Lee hasnt been that effective this series, but he defended those 3s well tbh

The 2nd, Kawhi probably could've jumped back out at Harden, and let Lee go back to Ariza in the paint.

[loveforthegame]

Lee is at least trying. WTF is LMA doing but shriveling up? Embarrassing.

[FkLA]

LMA is a soft bitch. Must win and still settling for his gay ass fadeaway.

[Uriel]

How is the first quarter almost over?? Don't playoff games tip like 15 minutes after the scheduled time or something???
