Historic offense against pathetic spurs guards = ?

980431082943217665

980492904744607745

lmao Byrnn Forbes is the X factor, Harden is a beast, and LaMarcus has been quiet against Houston this year

980459721164558338

The rockets own us in the regular seasons .....and [checks watch] it's still the regular season

[TheRemix]

Will be at the game today. Hopefully LMA won't be sonned by ryan :lol Anderson:lol

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[Emperor]

Spurs winning this.

[cd021]

No Chris Paul, right?

[K...]

No Chris Paul, right?

questionable

[gambit1990]

i hope cp3 plays, read he won’t though. he and dirk are my favorite active nonspurs.

[Joseph Kony]

No Paul, Spurs win narrowly. Paul plays, Spurs get raped per par

[BillMc]

Kawhi back from NY yet?

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi back from NY yet?

No, Pop said this earlier:

980503340240068609

[Ron Swanson]

Paul is officially out today.

[Joseph Kony]

No, Pop said this earlier:

980503340240068609

"he and his group" ugh

[cd021]

"he and his group" ugh

Feels like there were some shots at Kawhi in there from Pop tbh

[BillMc]

No, Pop said this earlier:

Thanks man.:toast

[Ron Swanson]

Feels like there were some shots at Kawhi in there from Pop tbh

I agree.

[BatManu20]

No, Pop said this earlier:

Pop's clearly over this shit-show. Don't blame him, tbh.

[gambit1990]

No, Pop said this earlier:

980503340240068609
so weird ...



would be fucking wild if kawhi did make a comeback for the playoffs. have a hard time thinking his conditioning would be up to par though. even with kawhi i still have strong doubts with this roster though.

[weeks]

an early sunday game, spurs usually scrub it on these early games

[SAGirl]

No, Pop said this earlier:

980503340240068609
sooo tired of this BS...

[Ron Swanson]

sooo tired of this BS...

I'm with you on that.

[widowmaker]

There will be a 30 for 30 on thas KL situation one day.

[313]

No, Pop said this earlier:

980503340240068609Passive aggressive tbh

[UZER]

There will be a 30 for 30 on thas KL situation one day.

Only if he lead LA or NY to a championship.

[Budkin]

We are due a win against these fucks. LMA going off.

[21209]

Even if the Rockets have nothing to play for, I don't think the Spurs have enough offense or three point shooting to pull off the win.

short of LMAlpha dropping 40+ i don't see it

[Gummi Clutch]

i don't think they're gonna just lay down.
I mean they've recked up all 3 times so far, I don't think they care. The way they are resting people seems like they just wanna be healthy and injury free. Why would they dive for lose balls etc? We play hard we win

Oh definitely.

[BillMc]

Spurs win a tight one. By 3

[TheDoctor]

Feels like there were some shots at Kawhi in there from Pop tbh

Agree. I don't remember any coach (much less Pop) saying that about his best player. Not even LBJ's coaches.

[Dingle Barry]

Agree. I don't remember any coach (much less Pop) saying that about his best player. Not even LBJ's coaches.

Probably because this kind of shit has never happened before.

[Darius Bieber]

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/05/10/sports/10NBAfinal/10NBAfinal-master768.jpg

Honestly surprise the refs didn't call a bullshit foul on that.

[Darius Bieber]

Rockets by 20+ though tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Honestly surprise the refs didn't call a bullshit foul on that.

No shit. I was surprised too.

[Ron Swanson]

Murray
Mills
Green
Anderson
LMA

[myhc]

Feels like there were some shots at Kawhi in there from Pop tbh

absolutely.

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Darius Bieber]

Great to see a player playing through injury and performing like LMA does.

[Ron Swanson]

Dijon!

[TheGreatYacht]

You can always tell when Aldridge isn't feeling it early on. He's sloppy as fuck so far

[Darius Bieber]

Murray has GOT to work on jumpshot. We have fuckin Chip Engelland on our staff. Why the FUCK is Murray not working with him?

[Emperor]

Good aggression by Murray so far. Hopefully this will be a Cavs type of game for him.

[Robz4000]

Murray has GOT to work on jumpshot. We have fuckin Chip Engelland on our staff. Why the FUCK is Murray not working with him?

His shot has noticeably gotten better as the season has progressed. Still a lot of room for improvement but at least it looks like a legit jumper.

[Gummi Clutch]

yea we win this rockets don't look like they really care. 50 here we cum

[Darius Bieber]

Can't finish two 2-on-1 fast breaks. :lmao

[sasaint]

welllll after the way harden laid down in game 6 last year they just might

Nah, I think they have plenty of incentive. I think the way they were roasted by fans and the media after game 6 will give them incentive for seasons to come. Plus I think they would like to be the team to seal the coffin on our 50-win run.

[TheRemix]

Murrays gotta stop giving it to mills on the break :lol

[TDTPMG21920]

Horrible fast break there, Mills inability to finish at the rim (unless he's wide open) is a problem

[TheGreatYacht]

Mark Jackson's fat preaching chipmunk self HAD to call this game huh?

[MVPCues]

Murray is worse I have ever seen running a 2 on 1.

[Raven]

Patty just made me scream fuck off with all my strength

[longhorn]

2 drives in a row Patty dribbles it out of the paint because he's too short/one-dimensional to execute a 2-on-1.

[sasaint]

His shot has noticeably gotten better as the season has progressed. Still a lot of room for improvement but at least it looks like a legit jumper.

I got no stats, but form and results both have improved to my eyes.

[Ron Swanson]

JVG and Jackson. Thank God for alcohol.

[$pursDynasty]

Patty and Dijon just f'd up 2 straight fast breaks

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck you, Billy Kennedy.

[FaM0us Skins]

Wow Harden hits everything in the paint

[Raven]

it would be pretty embarrassing to lose today, they have less motivation and less talent.

[ElNono]

need to get a 20 point lead so we can choke it at the end and give the Rockets the emotional boost they need going into the playoffs, tbh

[boutons_deux]

gotta respect LMA's rebounding. a tough job most players shun

[objective]

Rudy Gay hasn't been able to move his feet on defense all year.

Him trying to check guys like Harden on the perimeter is just sad.

[boutons_deux]

Wow Harden hits everything in the paint

easy when there's no paint defense

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray has to match Harden's minutes. He's the best defender we have

[FaM0us Skins]

Gay!

[ElNono]

damn, Gay doing the great Rudy

[Ron Swanson]

Just like they drew it up.

[sasaint]

Murray has to match Harden's minutes. He's the best defender we have

If there is a crunch time, Patty will be on Harden.

[TheGreatYacht]

If there is a crunch time, Patty will be on Harden.
:lol laughed but I know it's true.

[Raven]

There you go.

[weeks]

great start

[Darius Bieber]

Gay needs more chances tbh. Hope he stays next season.

[SPURt]

Both Harden and Aldridge look exhausted. Thank you Gerald Green for the gift at the end of the 1st.




TP looks terrible again, ugh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes. Of course

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit Rudy

[Seventyniner]

Gay with no regard for human life.

Too bad he misses some of those.

[ElNono]

Manu has to match Harden's minutes. He's the best defender we have

fify

[SAGirl]

Rudy Gayyyyyyy

[Darius Bieber]

Forbes lucky Gay covered his ass

[Emperor]

Holy f*ck!

[Robz4000]

That was Gay as fuck.

[TDTPMG21920]

Rudy :wow

[TheGreatYacht]

That's the closest we'll ever be to Bron in silver & black, boys. :cry

[Darius Bieber]

Gay just auditioning for the Rockets so he can join them next season tbh

[jyra]

Gay saving Forbes' ass.

[weeks]

HOLY SHIT GAY :wow

[TDTPMG21920]

Here comes Forbes and his irrational confidence...

[ElNono]

Why is Forbes out there?

[Ron Swanson]

Pau, the ref isn't on the team. Don't pass it to him.

[ElNono]

I rather have "What does Paul do?" than Forbes

[weeks]

this chris paul interview is taking forever

[kuato]

Manu out = no defense

[SAGirl]

outside of Rudy the bench has been crap so far.

Glad to see Rudy doing so well tho

[TheGreatYacht]

I better see a Derrick White courtside interview next.

[SAGirl]

Danny wide open misses...

[TheGreatYacht]

Did Danny G-League lose a finger like his deformed cousin?

[boutons_deux]

Pau sucks

the softest, most blocked 7 footer in NBA

fumble fingers

just weak, weak, weak

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's pathetic when we need rebounding we have to sub in our PG for our C :lmao


Rockets won't stay cold forever.

[SAGirl]

:pop:
If there is a crunch time, Patty will be on Harden.

[NASpurs]

:sleep

[objective]

Pop still trotting Forbes out there to be a disaster on defense is sad.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The choke begins

[TheGreatYacht]

You can't take the retard out of Murray unfortunately

[boutons_deux]

a 4 ft air ball?

[Ron Swanson]

Murray/Mills fastbreak :lmao

[SAGirl]

Fuck Paddy tbh

[DAF86]

Third 2 on 1 that Mills and Murray fuck up.

[NASpurs]

Gasol in today’s NBA :lol

[longhorn]

Patty Mills :bobo

[ElNono]

Goddamn, Danny and Cancerson are so fucking awful... they should both be gone at season's end

[Raven]

... good god.

[Ron Swanson]

Kyle with the Euro step

[NASpurs]

Goddamn, Danny and Cancerson are so fucking awful... they should both be gone at season's end

Guards that can’t dribble in today’s NBA :lol
Forwards that can’t shoot in today’s NBA :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs won't be able to generate enough offense to win this. Rockets are due to hit their quota of fluke shots.

[TheGreatYacht]

As per usual. G-League gives up more threes than he gives us

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[dbestpro]

The moment Anderson hits the floor the team goes into the tank.

[ElNono]

:pop: Rudy won't see the floor again today

[Emperor]

"Is the camera alright?" Lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Goddamn, Danny and Cancerson are so fucking awful... they should both be gone at season's end
You really have to think how many dicks someone has to suck to actually be a fan of both....

[TheRemix]

Fiddy mills scared to shoot

[pgardn]

Green and Anderson running an open situation is comedy.

[Robz4000]

Get Parker the fuck off the court.

[DAF86]

The fuck is Parker even doing out there?

[SAGirl]

Tony fouling Harden... :td

[Raven]

... you telling me a team that can get this level of D from so many players is not a contender.. I'm just not buying it.

[FaM0us Skins]

Green!

[SAGirl]

Danny misses open shots but that one he makes :lol
:flag:

[longhorn]

What the fuck is Patty even doing out there anymore? His defensive effort is to just flail about in an attempt to seem like he's a frenetic defender.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gerald ran into a 230 pound wall of lard.

Thoughts and prayers

[ElNono]

If Danny hit his cousin, he did his job today

[spurs10]

DG!

[dbestpro]

The dream that Anderson would somehow become Boris Diaw has turned into a nightmare.

[pgardn]

Patty works so damn hard.
He got knocked a bit daft and he's running about aimlessly but with effort.
I love the guy, just wish he could play the position he is supposed to.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice defense

[ElNono]

Here comes MVRudy

[SAGirl]

nice defense Danny

[FaM0us Skins]

Tucker can't catch a break

[ElNono]

Fatty straight out wrecking them out there :lol

[HI-FI]

Fitty at least proving his value by taking out players

[spurs10]

I wonder how many of these guys will be injured in this game.

[NASpurs]

Farty Mills best play of the season

[Raven]

DG absolutely DOMINANT

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Gay has such an atrocious shot selection

[SAGirl]

tremendous defense... only 38 pt half for the rockets.

[boutons_deux]

Gay has such an atrocious shot selection

somewhat of a blackhole

[daslicer]

I wonder how many of these guys will be injured in this game.

Rockets have a decision to make after halftime which is do they continue to play hard and risk injury or just punt this game since they already have the 1 seed on lock.

[pgardn]

Gay has such an atrocious shot selection

He actually has a range of shots to select from.
Thats rare characteristic on this team.

[SPURt]

Great defense by the Spurs that half. Too many questionable offensive possessions.

[Raven]

38 points to Houston.. can't complain AT ALL.

[NASpurs]

Gay has such an atrocious shot selection

Part of the reason why he’s been a loser in the NBA

[weeks]

gay is definitely looking to shoot most of the time but at least he isn't scared to take em
can't say the same for too many people on this team

[spurs10]

These boys need to come out aggressive against these guys. If they want to risk injury ...good! And lord since Haren is going to the line anyway, make him feel it.

[pgardn]

Great defense by the Spurs that half. Too many questionable offensive possessions.

That pretty much sums up this team now that they know KL will not return.

[spurs10]

gay is definitely looking to shoot most of the time but at least he isn't scared to take em
can't say the same for too many people on this team Yeah someone other LMA and an occasional DG needs to shoot the ball.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gay has such an atrocious shot selection
It was either him taking the shot or a G-League off balance mid range shot. Beggars can't be choosers, son.

[BillMc]

What are the chances Kawhi is watching the game in his NY hotel room?

[NASpurs]

I like Patty’s wrecking ball mentality tonight. Hopefully we’ll see Rocket players leave in stretchers before the game ends.

[cd98]

gay is definitely looking to shoot most of the time but at least he isn't scared to take em

His job on the second unit is to score.

[TheGreatYacht]

Well the Lakers game starts in 5 hours, so I don't see why they wouldn't be high

[pgardn]

What are the chances Kawhi is watching the game in his NY hotel room?

i have no idea...

It would be nice to know he is watching the game though.

Agreed

[ElNono]

38 points to Houston.. can't complain AT ALL.

It's just the setup for the monumental choke in the 2nd half, tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

How does Kawhi feel seeing the Rockets put their players on National tv commercials while he has to act autistic in corny ass HEB commercials?

[SAGirl]

What are the chances Kawhi is watching the game in his NY hotel room?
he will boxscore it.
he doesn't appear to want to watch the games unless he's playing.

Well aren't we the voice of optimism.
You will not win the board presidency this way.

[pookenstein]

If Mills manages to fall into Hardens knee, he'd absolutely be worth his 50 mil contract. Then we only need Pau to end Durant's carreer in the second round and it would be another 48.8 mil well spent.

[sasaint]

a 4 ft air ball?

It happens when you aren't taught to use the backboard.

[ElNono]

Well aren't we the voice of optimism.
You will not win the board presidency this way.

I'm doing my best Darius Bieber impersonation

[Raven]

It's just the setup for the monumental choke in the 2nd half, tbh

Nah, don't think so.. Also, it's important to establish that Harden is DG's bitch and Capela is Aldridge's mistress.

[TheGreatYacht]

Embarrassing fans. Jesus Christ they just can't go 3 hours without eating

[Ron Swanson]

Embarrassing fans. Jesus Christ they just can't go without eating for 3 hours

Someone must have opened a ham stand for Easter.

[ElNono]

Nah, don't think so.. Also, it's important to establish that Harden is DG's bitch and Capela is Aldridge's mistress.

Danny is not even guarding him... DG is trash, tbh... he had a good run like 3 years ago

[SAGirl]

Danny with 4 fouls.. at least one of them the loose ball foul was bogus

[ElNono]

Hope Danny is taking notes, that's how you drive to the basket

[TheGreatYacht]

Someone must have opened a ham stand for Easter.

Refs stepping up for Houston now.

gordon traveled... the fix is in

[bklynspursfan]

Clearly had Murray's jersey lmao. Harden is such a tool

[bklynspursfan]

Here we go. Whistle after whistle now

[SAGirl]

Aldridge going to get in foul trouble too smh

[SAGirl]

Here we go. Whistle after whistle now
it is sooo obvious
half the team going to foul out at this rate

[TDTPMG21920]

LMA brought the stone hands today, reminds me of Nazr Mohammed

[Robz4000]

This is ridiculous.

[bklynspursfan]

They just won't let us defend

[Ron Swanson]

Holy fuck, these refs.

[Death In June]

Whistle every time Rockets down the court

[SAGirl]

whistle... whistle whistle whistle

[DAF86]

Stop fucking fouling.

[sasaint]

Danny with 4 fouls.. at least one of them the loose ball foul was bogus

I think that's the refs referendum on Danny's haircut.

[bklynspursfan]

it is sooo obvious
half the team going to foul out at this rate

It's pathetic to watch. Hopefully our guys stick with it and take care if business

[Ron Swanson]

Murray with the hustle

[bklynspursfan]

Stop fucking fouling.

Fouling and being called for fouls are very different

[ElNono]

Talk about making somebody their bitch... Gordon has always had our number, tbh

[SAGirl]

Aldridge with the butter fingers

[TheGreatYacht]

Mills is fucking pathetic. Of course Poop has him guarding their best player....

[Darius Bieber]

Talk about making somebody their bitch... Gordon has always had our number, tbh

[sasaint]

They just won't let us defend

The worst call wasn't on defense but against Danny on the offensive board. But, yeah, gotta protect the darlings.

[TheGreatYacht]

Talk about making somebody their bitch... Gordon has always had our number, tbh
I remember when that paraplegic fatass looked like Jordan against us in New Orleans

[NameLess Scrub]

At least we got automatic mid range Aldridge and agressive DJ

[bklynspursfan]

The worst call wasn't on defense but against Danny on the offensive board. But, yeah, gotta protect the darlings.

Yea that was so bad. Punished for out hustling. I thought the Mills 'foul' on Ariza was bad too, Ariza had nowhere to go. Instead of a TO, it was a foul.

[NameLess Scrub]

I feel like Spurs should be up 10-12 points at this pace

[Ron Swanson]

Damn, Manu can still pass the ball.

[Ron Swanson]

I feel like Spurs should be up 10-12 points at this pace

Well, they're up 10.

[sasaint]

Yea that was so bad. Punished for out hustling. I thought the Mills 'foul' on Ariza was bad too, Ariza had nowhere to go. Instead of a TO, it was a foul.

Yep. We have gotten reffed more in our own house this season than I ever remember.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Porker

[SAGirl]

what a bogus whistle on Tony tbh

[ElNono]

Sit down Porker, smdh

[sasaint]

Yea that was so bad. Punished for out hustling. I thought the Mills 'foul' on Ariza was bad too, Ariza had nowhere to go. Instead of a TO, it was a foul.

Yep. We have gotten reffed more in our own house this season than I ever remember.

[bklynspursfan]

They usually show replays of some fouls, I haven't seen any yet :wakeup

[Raven]

spurs blatantly attacking Harden on every possession :lol

[DAF86]

Is Tony for real?

[szkorhetz]

LMA. :lma

[DAF86]

That wasn't a shooting foul, imho.

[Darius Bieber]

That kinda bullshit from Anderson makes me wish the Rockets all get injured in a plane crash tbh. That ain't basketball.

[sasaint]

They usually show replays of some fouls, I haven't seen any yet :wakeup

I beg to differ. That's one of the common threads in all basketball broadcasts that makes them consistently poorer than football telecasts. Football telecasts always go back and look at close calls. Basketball replays focus on some dunk or other non-controversial call. Drives me nuts.

[TheGreatYacht]

Should be 2 free throws, but you know it won't be.

[TheRemix]

It was a little bump but anderson wasnt shooting yet

[NameLess Scrub]

What? Aldridge fouls, ref waits for the shot to give 3fts? How's that not a non shooting foul?

[TheGreatYacht]

They usually show replays of some fouls, I haven't seen any yet :wakeup
That's always how it goes with us. But they'll replay if Harden hacked Murray in the paint....

[Raven]

i appreciate the effort from aldridge, but you gotta open your eyes :lol

[daslicer]

They usually show replays of some fouls, I haven't seen any yet :wakeup

They don't usually do that anymore on nationally televised game at least when it comes to bull shit calls. I have seen it a lot this year where there is a bad call and they don't show the replay of it.

[NameLess Scrub]

That wasn't a shooting foul, imho.

Obviously not. How in the world as a ref he sees a bump and waits for a shot in order to give 3fts?

[Ron Swanson]

Bring us home, LMA. :lma

[ElNono]

wtf the obsession with Forbes

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes on Harden. :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

lmao Rockets complaining over a foul call when they get every whistle on the other side of the court

[SAGirl]

Tony drawing that foul bailing out bryn forbes tbh

[sasaint]

T up Harden!
