Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets — Fri. (3/22) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

[bklynspursfan]

Bryn is playing tonight

[Larry O]

Perhaps JP25 should have started the game, SMH He's bringing the energy!

[Spurch]

Spurs bench delivering again

[Ron Swanson]

Capela got worked twice by LMA and once by Bertans. He throws down one dunk and acts like he won the Finals.

[timtonymanu]

I'm just glad I didn't overreact like some of you fags. I knew we'd come back.

Lol well played

[bklynspursfan]

Bryn baby. Nice take

[bklynspursfan]

I put the game on mute and the Spurs went on a run. I turned on the volume and the Rockets went on a run. I put it on mute again and now the game is tied.

Appreciate your contributions.

[RD2191]

Fukin raps losing to okc. :pctoss

[Spurch]

Time for us to start hitting some 3's

[Leetonidas]

Ugh fucking Forbes

[TheGreatYacht]

Harden and Aldridge back. GG boys.

[bklynspursfan]

I like how Pop wants their 2nd half to be defensively by their bench. He sat most of the first half, but he's been up a lot more and you can tell there's more attention to defense now

[r0drig0lac]

Marco!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Ferrari!!

[Ron Swanson]

Ferrari :lmao

[skin27]

Marco!!!

[Leetonidas]

Mama Mia that's a spicy meatball!

[Spurch]

Beli 18 nice!!!!

[007nites]

Marcooo

[Cry Havoc]

FERRAND1RI

[bklynspursfan]

Come on White

[Cry Havoc]

Iona giving UNC hell.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god Pop finally adjusted like I suggested and is doubling Harden

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes is so dumb

[Cry Havoc]

LMA!

[bklynspursfan]

Can't hit any 3s man. Then foul this fucker

[Ron Swanson]

Quit fucking jumping at Harden!

[Leetonidas]

What. The fuck. Seriously how many times??? Stop fucking jumping on his shots!! :pctoss

[skin27]

Damn bertans!!

[Indianman]

Forbes you stupid fuck.

[TheGreatYacht]

Is the ginger scrub ever going to the bench? He surely isn't there to score, defend, or rebound...

[Uriel]

Potential 6-point swing right there.

[hater]

Bertans is crap

And Forbes is dumb

[Spurch]

Now they're calling white Forbes what awful announcing smh

[twincam]

Stop shooting freaking 3s. They are not falling. They are practically turnovers.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What a terrible swing

[TheRemix]

Bruh bertans.... and forbes watch your hands

[Shakril]

Is the ginger scrub ever going to the bench? He surely isn't there to score, defend, or rebound...

Well you have to keep a fantastic playing poeltl on the bench. A win against the Rockets would kill the masterplan from pop... (i just dont understand why taking poeltl of the court. Playing fantastic)

[bklynspursfan]

Idk what happened with Davis. I thought he turned a corner after the end of GS game. But sheesh

[Spurch]

Bertans is crap

And Forbes is dumb

They'll come thru soon enough

[TheGreatYacht]

Well you have to keep a fantastic playing poeltl on the bench. A win against the Rockets would kill the masterplan from pop... (i just dont understand why taking poeltl of the court. Playing fantastic)
Was taking the spotlight too much away from Pop

[r0drig0lac]

bad game for gay

[Capt Bringdown]

Rudy is such a thicko

[bklynspursfan]

Obvious foul smh

[bklynspursfan]

Rudy is such a thicko

He got hit fwiw

[Leetonidas]

Rudy gets clobbered and nothing. You look at harden sideways and it's two shots

[MoSpur02]

:lmao harden having as many free throws as the entire Spurs team.

[007nites]

Forbes looks like he's ready to pounce at Harden again when he takes a 3

[Spurch]

Well you have to keep a fantastic playing poeltl on the bench. A win against the Rockets would kill the masterplan from pop... (i just dont understand why taking poeltl of the court. Playing fantastic)

Agreed especially as gay is not productive

[r0drig0lac]

nice steal

[r0drig0lac]

hahaha fuck refs

[bklynspursfan]

What the fuck!!!! All he did was shoot!

[007nites]

WHITE!

[Leetonidas]

FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!

[Uriel]

Loving the Spurs crowd at the Toyota :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Harden :lmao

Someone find the sniper in the building!

[ace3g]

I guess Harden's beard is off limits... what a flop.

[Robz4000]

:lmao that flop
:lmao:lmao refs calling that shit

[007nites]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Barfunk]

Horrible fucking call, and that's not bias either. Rewind that shit.

[Capt Bringdown]

Excellent flop

[twincam]

Bailout offensive foul call

[Rusty]

MVWhite:cry

[Arcadian]

Flooooooooooop. What a faggot

[sasaint]

Harden's beard got fouled.

[jmard5]

FU refs! Damn.

[TheGreatYacht]

Rockrefs to the rescue. Disgusting team and city

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck you harden. And double fuck the refs for falling for that stupid bullshit.

[KDKSpurs24]

How in THE FUCK was that an offensive foul in his normal shooting motion?!!

[bklynspursfan]

Huge fucking momentum swing. Should've been a 3 point play

[Genovaswitness]

it just brushed his beard..

[boutons_deux]

wow, amazing BAD call, nothing but vanilla shooting motion, with Harden sticking his chin it

[Cry Havoc]

All it would take to cure this flopping BS would be for the player to get a 1 game suspension if they see it. Boom. Done. Solved. No more BS flopping.

[Barfunk]

Harden holding and shit. Should have been an and 1. Hopefully doesn't cost us.

[XDT76]

How many Offensive Fouls have the Spurs got, unbelievable

[baseline bum]

Oh what a load of bullfuck

[Arcadian]

Despite the bullshit call, that was actually a clutch shot by Derozan.

[jbspurs]

BS call!

[Dennis the Menace]

Someone tweet that clip to the NBA offices

[ZeusWillJudge]

Harden :lmao

Someone find the sniper in the building!


LOL. Grassy Knoll for sure.

[Trill Clinton]

terrible foul call

[TheRemix]

What the fuck? You have to give the guy room to shoot. Dude had his face all in his space

[DarrinS]

Bull
Shit

[letsgospurs98]

wtf demar just shot the ball, where the fuck was the foul, cheating b**ch refs

[ace3g]

I think NBA players should contest Harden's jumper on his right side like White did there.

[Leetonidas]

This harden deepthroating by the refs is a disgrace

[TDomination]

Spurs vs refs and rockets. What else is new with harden.

[Ron Swanson]

That would have been and 1 if Harden was shooting.

[Uriel]

:lol Spurs fans complaining about Harden's flopping but didn't say a word when Ginobili was doing it :lol

I love it :tu

[Dancelot]

One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen

[Arcadian]

I can't respect an athlete who doesn't care about winning legitimately. Even if you fool the refs into calling fouls, can you really feel good about that at the end of the day?

[ZeusWillJudge]

That's DeRozan at his worst right there.

[sasaint]

5 point swing on Harden's non-foul.

[Barfunk]

Those are the kind of calls that "Is the NBA rigged?" YouTube videos are made of.

[itzsoweezee]

Uh oh, is DeRozan going to throw away another 4th quarter?

[Capt Bringdown]

DeRozan = anti-clutch

[r0drig0lac]

wtf forbes

[Robz4000]

Refs completely changed this game.

[ZeusWillJudge]

That's DeRozan at his worst right there.

X3

[sasaint]

Forbes backs off a smokin' hot Harden.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs choking per par

[ace3g]

jeez...

[longhorn]

DDR Isoball in crunch time two straight possessions

[emanueldavidginobili]

FORBES FUCKING SUCKS

[007nites]

FORBES YOU FUCK!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Those are the kind of calls that "Is the NBA rigged?" YouTube videos are made of.

There's a reason why they never go away.

[jbspurs]

No calls on moving picks? Fuck this game!

[Genovaswitness]

spurs deserve this loss. I hope this shit team loses by 25+

[Slippy]

Uh oh, is DeRozan going to throw away another 4th quarter?

At work going by play by plays. That's my biggest concern how is Demar going to close.

[TheGreatYacht]

HOW DO YOU NOT DOUBLE YET FAGGOT

[SupremeGuy]

Refs and DDR costing us this game. Fuck.

[Rusty]

LMAO DEBRICK

LMAO SPURS

LMAO POOP

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck man. Such bullshit.

[jbspurs]

Another moving screen

[RD2191]

Where's metta world peace when you need him? :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Look at that moving holding "screen" on White. Getting him off of Harden is the key for them.

[Capt Bringdown]

DeRozan has to go.

[TDMVPDPOY]

ddr the choke artists with continuous possessions throwing it away forcing his bs

[Robz4000]

DeRozan falling apart after a call doesn't go his way per par.

[Rummpd]

Sad and pathetic

[r0drig0lac]

Refs completely changed this game.

cmon Harden completely destroyed the spurs defense

[timtonymanu]

:lol Spurs fans complaining about Harden's flopping but didn't say a word when Ginobili was doing it :lol

I love it :tu

Manu didn’t rely solely on his flops to be a great player though

[TheGreatYacht]

Harden spitting on craterface. Absolutely deserved. Any sane coach doubles at 50 points

[bklynspursfan]

And if that was Harden on that Demar drive, he'd be shooting 2. Guaranteed.

[Barfunk]

There's a reason why they never go away.

Yupp. Plays like those are painfully obvious.

[boutons_deux]

harden wins

[$pursDynasty]

Stop going to Derozan he isn't clutch, how many games is Pop gonna let him cost us?

[Leetonidas]

Spurs should have won this game even with their mistakes. Harden dick sucking by the refs is disgusting

[Quiet Strength]

Game over when hardens beard was fouled wtf

[Trill Clinton]

Why does Pop keep letting Derozan take shots late in the 4th in close games?

[letsgospurs98]

fucking rigged shit, I'm done. all changed after that BS call

[Rusty]

LMAO DEBRICK DEPRESSION:rollin

[bklynspursfan]

cmon Harden completely destroyed the spurs defense

Nah. Defense has been better in the 2nd half. They're making momentum changing plays for them.

[Ragamuffin]

fuck you defrozen

[boutons_deux]

demar hero-ing again, coming up empty, as always

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

When is Poop gonna learn that DePression iso-ball in the final minutes is a bad idea

[Genovaswitness]

derozan is such a piece of shit. disgusting fucking retarded of a player

[Arcadian]

:lol 60+ points, but his most valuable play of the game was a flop

:lol still a faggot on his career night

[TheRemix]

Derozan is not built for late game situations. Dude has let the team down countless times.

[bklynspursfan]

Davis man. Beautiful play and he fucking bricks again

[spurraider21]

lol people losing their shit over a bad foul call... it happens. harden's murdering us and its not cause of muh refs

[Leetonidas]

Fucking choker ginger faggot bricking 3s the entire fucking game

[ZeusWillJudge]

Bertans is just so cold.

[KDKSpurs24]

I literally hate Harden’s game. The worst fucking thing in basketball.

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck DeRozan

[TDomination]

Well that stupid offensive foul completely changed the momentum. Typical

[007nites]

Throw in the white flag please

[bklynspursfan]

lol people losing their shit over a bad foul call... it happens. harden's murdering us and its not cause of muh refs

It's the timing of the calls. That 'charge' on DeRozan swung the momentum big time

[spurraider21]

also bertans has shit the bed offensively against gsw and now houston... cant have that

[Floyd Pacquiao]

That bum bertans can't shoot on the road.

[$pursDynasty]

Damn DePression is NOT a closer, why not feed LMA

[007nites]

DePression

[Capt Bringdown]

DeRozan fucked us AGAIN

[itzsoweezee]

I guess only DeRozan is allowed to shoot in the fourth quarter now? This is so fucking stupid

[Spurs Brazil]

DeRozan with another terrible finish

[spurraider21]

why are we intentionally fouling in a 5 point game with 50 seconds left?

[Shakril]

The last 3 minutes of this games concern me really. DeRozean was destroyed the same way he was as he played in Toronto.

[timtonymanu]

Lol Derozan. The same people who scoff at Westbrook and harden and say they take their teams out of games.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bertans is such a fucking joke man. And none of you faggots say anything about it. It's like fathead 2.0

[spurraider21]

derozan iso/heroball to close the game :lmao

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Davis man. Beautiful play and he fucking bricks again
1-9. Arguably the deciding factor of the game aside from the bearded faggot

[boutons_deux]

demar losing killing chances in 4? straight possessions?

[NameLess Scrub]

I don't how people enjoy that crap outside of Houston fans.

Horrible call might have turned the game.

[Uriel]

Refs completely changed this game. Unbelievable.

[RD2191]

Fuck.

[ZeusWillJudge]

lol people losing their shit over a bad foul call... it happens. harden's murdering us and its not cause of muh refs

This time it kind of is. White was locking him up on D. Harden even quit going right at him. Harden went nuts when they were able to get White off of him, and that included a lot of moving screens.

[TheRemix]

Fuck demar man. Every close game he fucking blows it

[itzsoweezee]

At what point is popovich realize DeRozan is not Tim, Manu, Tony, kawhi. Dude is the opposite of clutch

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Derrick White needs to be the closer and that's it

[spurraider21]

if you're going to foul, why are u letting them dribble out 14 seconds first? this is the worst late game clock management ive seen since andy reid

[ZeusWillJudge]

Bertans 0-for-everything

[007nites]

Ya foul once you have already taken 14 seconds off the shot clock dumb fuck

[timtonymanu]

Timtonymanu..... We're not hearing you bro

Something to say now? The comeback was nice and commendable but it’s the same issues with the Spurs. They can’t keep leads they have late in the game like they’ve been doing all year. Plus Derozan cancering it up in the clutch when Derrick should be getting the ball.

[Robz4000]

Bertans has become a shell of himself offensively since his snub from the 3-point contest.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

There’s the Defrozen we all know.. 3 straight possessions of him getting shut down.
Seems like absolutely nothing went our way those final two minutes.. Can’t wait to see Houston choke in the playoffs like always

[212094ever]

Trade DDR

[r0drig0lac]

Bertans 1-10 of 3pt...fuck this

[TheRemix]

Fucking houston. Your shit will get pushed in by GS

[jbspurs]

Refs completely changed this game. Unbelievable.
That 5 point swing ruined everything.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Get the lube ready for the warriors matchup

[Strategic]

Looks like rockets win their super bowl tonight

[XDT76]

Did DDR set a record? 3 blk against in 3 straight possesion.

[twincam]

The real Spurs have arrived.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop telling the ref that was bullshit call. The derozan elbow, nice to see he cares still

[Barfunk]

That faggot fucking piece of shit Adam Silver can go suck on David's Stern's fucking shit. Fucking crooked ass fuckers, go suck on Roger Goodell's fucking shit you faggots.

[$pursDynasty]

At what point is popovich realize DeRozan is not Tim, Manu, Tony, kawhi. Dude is the opposite of clutch
This that offensive foul turned momentum BUT going toDerozan in the 4th has to stop, he ain't that guy

[spurraider21]

harden showing why he's an mvp and derozan is not. wow, what an absurd collapse

[DarrinS]

DDR fcked up that game, tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. They just showed that flop where DeRozan got the 3-point play taken away. Harden was even holding DDR's shorts.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

At this point, bring Manu back and play him in the closing minutes. Everyone's sick of DeProzac choking over and over

[Capt Bringdown]

There’s the Defrozen we all know.. 3 straight possessions of him getting shut down.
Seems like absolutely nothing went our way those final two minutes.. Can’t wait to see Houston choke in the playoffs like always

Was it 3? Seemed like more than that. He got blocked dramatically on 2 possessions. What a loser.

[boutons_deux]

LMA no show, again. ddr hero ball loses again.

fuck these LOSERS

[r0drig0lac]

This time it kind of is. White was locking him up on D. Harden even quit going right at him. Harden went nuts when they were able to get White off of him, and that included a lot of moving screens.

what? for 3 minutes? Harden had the best performance of the season

[slick'81]

On to boston

[Arcadian]

lol people losing their shit over a bad foul call... it happens. harden's murdering us and its not cause of muh refs

It came at a crucial moment and started the run. With the correct call, the Spurs go up 9 and still have momentum. Instead, Harden counters with a 3, making it an instant 6 point swing.

It happens, and that's the worst way for it to happen.

[Rummpd]

Epic choke job

[GigaloGino]

3 massive turnovers

[bklynspursfan]

Pop staying after to tell the refs 'that was a bullshit call'

[SpurSpike]

Why didnt they play purtle at the end? When he was in spurs took the lead.... excellent cleanup around the rim.

[TheRemix]

what? for 3 minutes? Harden had the best performance of the season

White did a great job on harden

[BillMc]

We lost for a lot of reasons but that offensive foul on Harden by DeMar was BS. Especially, given how they call every ticky-tack foul on those guarding JH.


That said, I'd feel reasonably confident over a 7 game series the Spurs could beat Houston.

[BillMc]

Pop staying after to tell the refs 'that was a bullshit call'

And he was right

[Hoops Czar]

Epic choke job
Don't act like you didn't see it coming.

[Degoat]

We didn’t deserve that win.... if it takes 61 from harden with DeMar and LA not playing particularly good I’ll take it...

[timtonymanu]

I'm just glad I didn't overreact like some of you fags. I knew we'd come back.

I'm just glad I didn't fall for the comeback like most fags. I knew we'd/Derozan would choke.

[Spurch]

Something to say now? The comeback was nice and commendable but it’s the same issues with the Spurs. They can’t keep leads they have late in the game like they’ve been doing all year. Plus Derozan cancering it up in the clutch when Derrick should be getting the ball.

Ihu bro & like you said it's a good comeback which shows with the team we have we are very capable of winning.

[Hoops Czar]

We lost for a lot of reasons but that offensive foul on Harden by DeMar was BS. Especially, given how they call every ticky-tack foul on those guarding JH.


That said, I'd feel reasonably confident over a 7 game series the Spurs could beat Houston.

Moral of the story... Superstars get calls, scrubs cry about lack of calls. Nothing to see here.

[$pursDynasty]

At what point is popovich realize DeRozan is not Tim, Manu, Tony, kawhi. Dude is the opposite of clutch
This that offensive foul turned momentum BUT going toDerozan in the 4th has to stop, he ain't that guy

[ZeusWillJudge]

what? for 3 minutes? Harden had the best performance of the season

You might want to re-watch that second half. Harden quit trying to go straight at White. We were laughing here once because Hardon was signaling for one of his teammates to come get White off of him. Those late points all came after they forced a switch, not while White was covering him. Lots of that was the result of moving screens and holds.

[Spurch]

That offensive wrong call on the ddr shot completely changed the game outcome

[DarrinS]

It came at a crucial moment and started the run. With the correct call, the Spurs go up 9 and still have momentum. Instead, Harden counters with a 3, making it an instant 6 point swing.

It happens, and that's the worst way for it to happen.

DDR was too emo after that call, was pissed, and got blocked 2-3 times going hero mode. Game over

[skin27]

That offensive called on demar was the turning point. We should have led by 8pts if the refs did not call that bullshit

[GigaloGino]

The 3 lazy turnovers in the fourth killed our game. The Demar/harden men, a little. Those 3 turnovers was it

[boutons_deux]

Spurs in 8th seed, 5 games ahead of 9th seed

[timtonymanu]

Ihu bro & like you said it's a good comeback which shows with the team we have we are very capable of winning.

Yeah we almost beat Houston last time too on a late comeback. Sure there were bad calls late in the game but the Spurs still need better discipline and not sure why Derozan always gets the ball late (I still cringe at him getting stripped by Nephew in the last Toronto game).

[Degoat]

And guys a month ago most people were saying we were gonna miss the playoffs!! Be happy where we are, a competitive team who needs Murray back and another solid contributor

[Spurch]

This that offensive foul turned momentum BUT going toDerozan in the 4th has to stop, he ain't that guy

We r all in agreement

[Budkin]

Not Demar’s fault tonight. The refs fucked us raw.

[r0drig0lac]

Walker should have played every minute of Mills in the second part of the game, Forbes went as well as possible for his mediocre level

[DarrinS]

Spurs in 8th seed, 5 games ahead of 9th seed

Cool. Sweep

[Capt Bringdown]

Shitty calls happen on the road. I don't believe the offensive foul against DeChoken was the turning point, as the Spurs had many chances to respond. DeChoken wears the goat horns for this loss. His decision making in clutch situations is catastrophic.

[DarrinS]

Not Demar’s fault tonight. The refs fucked us raw.

That OF called on him was BS, but he played terrible after that.

[r0drig0lac]

You might want to re-watch that second half. Harden quit trying to go straight at White. We were laughing here once because Hardon was signaling for one of his teammates to come get White off of him. Those late points all came after they forced a switch, not while White was covering him. Lots of that was the result of moving screens and holds.

no doubt about it, but that's the way it is now, so we have to deal with it, not having defensively exploitable players on the roster would be a good start

[Barfunk]

Not Demar’s fault tonight. The refs fucked us raw.

Many here don't get this. Getting points stolen is demoralizing. We had a hand in the loss, but that shit is just crooked.

[YoungbuckMurray]

How does harden get so many damn calls, that offensive foul on demar was one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Then harden slaps Rudy in the face no call, yet you go in the same area of him and it’s an automatic call

[bklynspursfan]

Pop staying after to tell the refs 'that was a bullshit call'

[Larry O]

Too bad that Bertans missed a ton of his shots, or else the outcome could have been different...

[FkLA]

That call on DeMar was bullshit but the way he responded was absolutely embarrassing. Turnovers, forced fadeaways, blocked shots. He was trying to get back at the refs/Harden and instead he ended up being a fucking disaster.

[Rosewood]

Is 5/6 seed really even that much better than 7th?

[Capt Bringdown]

That call on DeMar was bullshit but the way he responded was absolutely embarrassing. Turnovers, forced fadeaways, blocked shots. He was trying to get back at the refs/Harden and instead he ended up being a fucking disaster.

:tu

[KimmyGib]

17 to 32 fta
Bertans 1 of 10
Harden 61 pts
Demar's frustration gets the best of him... again

Nice comeback by Spurs with a hideous ending. Harden a regular season beast, shame he always under performs in the playoffs.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Forbes has balls the size of skittles. Red hot James harden bringing up the court and Forbes literally just leaves him for an open 3 didn’t want any part of it. Rudy literally looked at him like you’re fucking stupid.

[skin27]

Forbes should have taken the clutch 3 and not the ice cold bertans.

[BillMc]

That call on DeMar was bullshit but the way he responded was absolutely embarrassing. Turnovers, forced fadeaways, blocked shots. He was trying to get back at the refs/Harden and instead he ended up being a fucking disaster.

Can't disagree.

[tbdog]

That offensive wrong call on the ddr shot completely changed the game outcome

Absolutely. Harden comes back to hit the three. Then DD does a soft shot and misses. Then Harden hits the three. If DD gets the call, Spurs are up 8. You all of a sudden feel confident. It's a disgusting call because you just penalise and natural normal shot. That shit must just get into your head.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

That offensive called on demar was the turning point. We should have led by 8pts if the refs did not call that bullshit

Say it again!

[TheRemix]

Now the league and the casual fans are jerking off to hardens performance

[GreekSpursfan]

Yes refs robbed us by changing the momentum but this Demar ain't gonna cut it in the playoffs. At this point we might as well target the Dubs and have a fast and painless elimination.

[JohnnyMax]

https://media.giphy.com/media/yvehjVr5nARNrqMcll/giphy.gif

[Arcadian]

Better closeout vs. Spurs:

McGrady 2004 (13 points in 33 seconds)
Harden 2019 (61 total, MVP-level flop)

???

[Arcadian]

:toast to Derrick White, though. What a player he's become.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Even with all the things the Spurs did wrong tonight, the Rockets took 15 more FTA than the Spurs, and made 9 more of them. That one bullshit foul on Harden's flop was a 6 point swing. Without that one call, it's a different end game.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Absolutely. Harden comes back to hit the three. Then DD does a soft shot and misses. Then Harden hits the three. If DD gets the call, Spurs are up 8. You all of a sudden feel confident. It's a disgusting call because you just penalise and natural normal shot. That shit must just get into your head.


It did get into DeRozan's head. Can't deny that. At that point, it was still the Spurs' game to lose.

[DarrinS]

:toast to Derrick White, though. What a player he's become.

Only upside with that kid. :tu

[GreekSpursfan]

Scratch what i said previously about targeting Warriors, we need to target these motherfs, the Harden Floppers.

[Slippy]

Many here don't get this. Getting points stolen is demoralizing. We had a hand in the loss, but that shit is just crooked.

Can't watch yet but seeing Demar close games to lose so many this season is jus as demoralizing. No joke, I can't remember seeing this many games in the balance go against the spurs.

[Beartrucci]

Holy fuck this is embarasssing

[tbdog]

It did get into DeRozan's head. Can't deny that. At that point, it was still the Spurs' game to lose.

I think only the best can work their way through something like that. We have been spoilt with manu and TD making on the fly adjustments. And even Manu has done more bad than good like game 6. We see players like AD just settle with 3s when the game is on the line. DD just isn't that type of player that can adjust to such a terrible decision. He just took a normal basketball shot. Not terribly aggressive. He made the shot and got called for an offensive foul. His next shot was soft. He back off. Took a semi open shot and missed. When the game is on the line and you get penalised for making a normal play, there are few players that can overcome that.

[cutewizard]

Spurs lost

Spurs forever,,,!

[spurs10]

It came at a crucial moment and started the run. With the correct call, the Spurs go up 9 and still have momentum. Instead, Harden counters with a 3, making it an instant 6 point swing.

It happens, and that's the worst way for it to happen.

That said, I'd feel reasonably confident over a 7 game series the Spurs could beat Houston.


That offensive wrong call on the ddr shot completely changed the game outcome


Not Demar’s fault tonight. The refs fucked us raw. Yeah and how 'bout those moving screens. Harden will get fined for his flop and gladly pay it.
