[TheRemix]

I strongly dislike the rockets and their playstyle. I hope the men in silver and black put on a show and get this dub

[John B]

Let’s go Spurs. We need to get back on track. GSG!

[John B]

1108924770991644672
He’s starting to dominate like White last year. But hopefully he’s also keen on defense that’s his ticket to the big dance

[Joseph Kony]

cant wait to watch the rockets chuck endless 3pt shots while harden flops and travels all over the court :rolleyes

seriously is there any team that is less entertaining to watch than houston?

[GAustex]

Wish I could say I had a good feeling about this
Hope White can bounce back

[TDomination]

Can't wait! hopefully will be a good one

[BillMc]

cant wait to watch the rockets chuck endless 3pt shots while harden flops and travels all over the court :rolleyes

seriously is there any team that is less entertaining to watch than houston?

Truth.

If we meet them in the playoffs, and beat them in the playoffs, that's a successful season in my book

[Dverde]

More interested in how Demar plays tonight. He’s shined in the three biggest games of the year (minus that fumble). He really is the X factor for this team going forward into the playoffs.

[BillMc]

Spurs by 4

[NameLess Scrub]

Tonight Spurs lose because it's on the road. Simple as that.

As we all vomit from all the 3pt chucking, whining to the refs, flopping and traveling.

[Johnny Tightlips]

Go suck a lemon, Houston.

[boutons_deux]

Rox convinced Spurs stole their win, so revenge will be strong.

[Keepin' it real]

Game 2:00 AM for us on Riga time. :)

[ace3g]

Gay starting over Jakob tonight.

[ace3g]

LA starts off with an air ball...

[boutons_deux]

another stone cold start, 1 - 6

[Shakril]

Gay starting over Jakob tonight.

Which i do not understand. Jakob is important for the defense. Eexcept for white, there is no good defender in the S5. I dont know anymore what he is supposed to do to get some certainty about his role.

[r0drig0lac]

easy for harden ....sad

[Robz4000]

:lmao White

[Genovaswitness]

damn the team is dogshit again

[bklynspursfan]

Travel

[DarrinS]

Shuffle shuffle (travel no call), pump fake, 3 shots!

Hate this team

[Joseph Kony]

LA with two airballs already :lol

[Robz4000]

Forbes keeping the Spurs in it.

[bklynspursfan]

There we go Bryn.. maybe he'll be like LDN and loves playing in Houston

[bklynspursfan]

Finally call Harden for a foul. He was bumping and grabbing Demar previously too

[bklynspursfan]

Omfg man

[Joseph Kony]

god fucking dammit Rudy you retard. how many fucking times do you have to see harden draw a foul on a 3? put your fucking hands down dummy

[Robz4000]

Harden on pace for 70 food stamps tonight.

[Capt Bringdown]

Why is Rudy so dumb?

[Arcadian]

:lol Harden's signature move is drawing a foul. What a lame signature move.

[Robz4000]

DeRozan is awful

[bklynspursfan]

Whistle after fucking whistle

[Capt Bringdown]

:lol Harden's signature move is drawing a foul. What a lame signature move.

Maybe, but Rudy clearly hit him on the elbow.

[bklynspursfan]

DeRozan doesn't get the calls that ass Harden does, so annoying

[r0drig0lac]

Harden completely destroying the Spurs

[BackHome]

DEROZZ SMH

[Robz4000]

Welp, this one's over.

[Joseph Kony]

get derozan the fuck out

[bklynspursfan]

But Demar gotta finish those easy ones near the basket

[Capt Bringdown]

Old fashioned country blowout

[Ron Swanson]

If this shit keeps up, I'm going back to March Madness.

[Degoat]

I don’t get why the refs or the league allow the rockets to get away with so much stuff

[Shakril]

come on, we all know that peoltl is not an offensive juggernaut, but damn pass him the ball when he is open, better than to harde...

[BackHome]

DEROZZ finding it hard to dribble

[boutons_deux]

Spurs can't score, on the road, not looking to get out of 1st round with no HCA

[Strategic]

Too bad Davis didn’t put a little more shoulder in to that foul

[r0drig0lac]

harden's 80 point game watch

[bklynspursfan]

My God. It's unwatchable. Idk how people find the rockets enjoyable

[Joseph Kony]

man fuck watching this bullshit. just gonna be a free throw parade all night because this stupid fucking roster cant figure out how to not foul on every possession

[bklynspursfan]

I don’t get why the refs or the league allow the rockets to get away with so much stuff

The only good thing is come playoff time, it's not as much. So rockets fans get their hopes up

[Uriel]

:lol

[sook]

lmao spurs getting man handled :lol

[Degoat]

Say what you will about DeMar but he gets destroyed when he drives it in.... harden gets touched and it’s a foul

[boutons_deux]

6 PFs in first qtr

[TheRemix]

Sigh, what the fuck. Why does the league suck hardens dick so hard?

[Ron Swanson]

Lonnie is checking in.

[bklynspursfan]

Lonnie time??

[boutons_deux]

Harden 24, Spurs 38%

[bklynspursfan]

Seemed like Davis got hit on that 3. Then they call that BS for Harden. Un fucking watchable

[SASdynasty!]

Put Poertl on Harden

[Ozballer]

DeRozan, sucked in to beating Harden one on one... (someone tells him its Spurs vs Rockets). And BTW not just Harden getting under his skin, he is also totally losing that battle.
Alridge mailing it in because his buddy Poetl did not start with him.
BTW, that defense without Jacob looks atrocious.

[SASdynasty!]

lmao spurs getting man handled :lol
Regular season Rockets

[sook]

don't cry about that btw spurfan...Demar is stupid for keeping his hands on Harden's elbows.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs getting into 1st round exit form since the GSW game.

[RD2191]

:lmao spurms:lmao spurs homers lmao

[TheRemix]

Can someone just knock harden out?

[sook]

Regular season Rockets
well post season rockets have been getting much further than the duncan less spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

our perimeter defense is a shameless fail of the front office

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta cut into this with Haren out.

[sook]

:lmao 27 fucking points in 1 quarter and you guys are crying about fouls :lmao

[Shakril]

The only Spur playing good is poeltl. Damn run everything through him, it cant be worse than it already is.

[bklynspursfan]

well post season rockets have been getting much further than the duncan less spurs.

I mean , both made it to the WCF.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

12-2 FTAs :lol

[bklynspursfan]

12-2 FTAs :lol

Whatever. Refs won't call it in the playoffs as much, D'Antoni won't change/adjust anything, Rockets get eliminated. Rinse, wash, repeat

[Hoops Czar]

Harden on his way to 110 points.

[r0drig0lac]

finally someone male enough to attack the rim (in this case, Gay)

[ace3g]

LWIV needs to use glass on those layups...

[bklynspursfan]

Use the glass Lonnie c'mon

[bklynspursfan]

Smh

[sook]

I mean , both made it to the WCF.

the spurs got invited, they just never showed up. I know Kawhi was good, but having a lead for a half really doesn't mean anything. In the warriors era the rockets have been the only team to challenge them. Get on the wagon this year broski

[Joseph Kony]

patty is such a fucking idiot. does any other player commit more retarded and ones than him?

[r0drig0lac]

Whatever. Refs won't call it in the playoffs as much, D'Antoni won't change/adjust anything, Rockets get eliminated. Rinse, wash, repeat

they were a healthy CP3 far to beat the most cowardly stacked team of history in relation to the own era, it does not get better than that

[c whata11]

what a horrible foul by Patty

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Whatever. Refs won't call it in the playoffs as much, D'Antoni won't change/adjust anything, Rockets get eliminated. Rinse, wash, repeat

What's there to adjust for D'Antoni? "Give James the ball and stay behind the 3 point line. Go Go Go Go!"

[boutons_deux]

Rox 11 FT pts, Spurs down by 11

[Hoops Czar]

patty is such a fucking idiot. does any other player commit more retarded and ones than him?
Possibly Bryn Forbes.

[sook]

Ok seriously, that play by Mills sums it up. For the best defensively coached team of all time (over a stretch) the spurs are committing the dumbest fouls I have seen

[bklynspursfan]

the spurs got invited, they just never showed up. I know Kawhi was good, but having a lead for a half really doesn't mean anything. In the warriors era the rockets have been the only team to challenge them. Get on the wagon this year broski

I mean it was more than that, it wasn't the first time they were smacking them. Kawhi literally kept Durant in check , once he went out, he went off.

Spurs would have challenged them more, (probably won) because they have the discipline and coaching. Plus, not living and dying by the 3, or FTs

[bklynspursfan]

What's there to adjust for D'Antoni? "Give James the ball and stay behind the 3 point line. Go Go Go Go!"

Basically

[Ozballer]

Lonnie looking good

[boutons_deux]

should give Walker some confidence, big game for him

[Shakril]

Question:

Why is Poeltl better at defending Chris Paul than Forbes or Mills? This should be impossible!

[bklynspursfan]

Ok seriously, that play by Mills sums it up. For the best defensively coached team of all time (over a stretch) the spurs are committing the dumbest fouls I have seen

They commit the fewest fouls in the league. That goes out the window when you play these guys tho.

[Joseph Kony]

lol is there anyone who actually enjoys watching Harden play besides rockets fans? they get so asshurt when you call out his shit playstyle :lol

[Strategic]

Walkers top hat almost goal tended on that lay up

[bklynspursfan]

they were a healthy CP3 far to beat the most cowardly stacked team of history in relation to the own era, it does not get better than that

Maybe. But we had that chance too till Zaza did his thing. Either way, everyone knows what Houston wants to do

[bklynspursfan]

Lonnie blew by Paul there

[r0drig0lac]

nice for Lonnie..keep attacking the rim kid

[Russo21]

Did that flopping sack of shit really take 12 free throws in the 1st quarter? Wtf

[sook]

I mean it was more than that, it wasn't the first time they were smacking them. Kawhi literally kept Durant in check , once he went out, he went off.

Spurs would have challenged them more, (probably won) because they have the discipline and coaching. Plus, not living and dying by the 3, or FTs

good points, i disagree. Wish we got to find out before the cancer forced his way off the team

[bklynspursfan]

Nice box out by Rudy

[Ozballer]

Question:

Why is Poeltl better at defending Chris Paul than Forbes or Mills? This should be impossible!

He is quicker than any other player in closing up. And bigger.

[SASdynasty!]

the spurs got invited, they just never showed up. I know Kawhi was good, but having a lead for a half really doesn't mean anything. In the warriors era the rockets have been the only team to challenge them. Get on the wagon this year broski
The Rockets have 2 WCF appearances in the last 23 years, lol.

[bklynspursfan]

good points, i disagree. Wish we got to find out before the cancer forced his way off the team

Yea. Smh nephew

[skin27]

SPurms:lmao

8 seed here we come!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Wtf Aldridge. Dude is playing with no energy tonight

[Robz4000]

Why does LMA always play like a bitch against Capela?

[Barfunk]

90th missed layup of the game

[bklynspursfan]

They're in chuck mode, have to capitalize

[Joseph Kony]

how many missed layups is that now :pctoss

[bklynspursfan]

Why does LMA always play like a bitch against Capela?

He needs to pretend he's Ibaka

[SASdynasty!]

Did that flopping sack of shit really take 12 free throws in the 1st quarter? Wtf
Haha Harden is a joke. How this loser hasn’t been gifted a championship yet is beyond me.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

It's easy to see why they like Lonnie so much. He's raw but if he puts it all together he'll be really good.

[Joseph Kony]

Haha Harden is a joke. How this loser hasn’t been gifted a championship yet is beyond me.

because hes a piece of shit choker when it matters, and refs cant stop him from choking tbh

[Genovaswitness]

is harden hurt? pussyboy's been sitting on the bench all 2nd quarter

[r0drig0lac]

the fact that shooters can not simply ignore Walker when it comes to shoot or attacking the rim as they do with the dwarves already puts him above these guys as a basketball player

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit Davis

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit Davis

X2

[Joseph Kony]

fucking offense is cancer. bricked layups, bricked 3s

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge playing soft

[Barfunk]

Another missed layup!!!

[Joseph Kony]

right on cue another bricked layup

[skin27]

Anyone who wants the rockets in the playoffs is idiot..they are due for a revenge against the spurs in the playoffs. Spurs should avoid rockets and warriors.

[Joseph Kony]

AND ANOTHER ONE

[bklynspursfan]

Could've been tied , now down 12

[TheGreatYacht]

Hopefully one day that cancer Bertans will be in the doghouse permanently

[bklynspursfan]

We're in the bonus now

[r0drig0lac]

damn white

[Barfunk]

Another missed layup

[Joseph Kony]

wow...this is beyond fucking sad

[bklynspursfan]

:lol foul???

[boutons_deux]

LMA laying yet another EGG

[Capt Bringdown]

White looks like he's lost his confidence

[TheGreatYacht]

MILLS FORBES BELLI WHILE HARDEN HAS 32!!!!! :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Shit man. I hate when Aldridge plays like this

[Barfunk]

:lol foul???

Just rewound it. Yupp, terrible call.

[ceperez]

White looks like he's lost his confidence

Damn... not a good sign. He must be injured!

[Capt Bringdown]

Capela raping LMA

[Barfunk]

Missed layup again

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge should be embarassed

[Joseph Kony]

this team fucking sucks. shit is pathetic.

[TheGreatYacht]

Give Murray your knee, Bertans you deformed fuck

[r0drig0lac]

Harden winning the mvp today, like when he lost, when embarrassed by Kawhi on national television

[SASdynasty!]

Haha Harden trying to flop after getting destroyed by LA

[Barfunk]

This year's Spurs just can't play on the road.

[boutons_deux]

what a good college game on now?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop benches d white and they score immediately

[diceman]

2nd straight game LA needs viagra........wth??

[BillMc]

The modern NBA sucks.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop benches d white and they score immediately

In fairness, they were scoring with him in there too.

[Ozballer]

Much better Q2 holding Rockets to 26 pts. LMA and DDR need to start scoring in the second + defensive focus must remain.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

In fairness, they were scoring with him in there too.

He was playing some really stout defense on harden though. He locked him down a couple possessions

[Spurch]

Much better Q2 holding Rockets to 26 pts. LMA and DDR need to start scoring in the second + defensive focus must remain.
I'm simply not panicking at this point, I'm confident we'll be a lot better in the second half, we are clearly out of rhythm and focus.

[timtonymanu]

Lol spurs playing like shit on the road, haven’t seen this with this soft ass team

[Degoat]

Won’t happen but for this team to take the next step Lonnie really needs to emerge and take mills or Forbes minutes. Preferably Mills minutes lol

[Spurch]

Lol spurs playing like shit on the road, haven’t seen this with this soft ass team

Patience bro, still 24 minutes to play

[timtonymanu]

I'm simply not panicking at this point, I'm confident we'll be a lot better in the second half, we are clearly out of rhythm and focus.

The team being out of focus should be a bad enough sign. What more does these faggots need to be humbled by to show up every game? They’re just dogshit on the road and anyone expecting different is kidding themselves. Like my dude Mugen has said, it’s on the coach to prepare these guys for games but doesn’t ever seem to be the case.

[TheGreatYacht]

Start Bertans in the second half so we can get blown the fuck out and avoid the Harden 70 piece

[skin27]

Won’t happen but for this team to take the next step Lonnie really needs to emerge and take mills or Forbes minutes. Preferably Mills minutes lol


walker sucks

[timtonymanu]

Patience bro, still 24 minutes to play


The spurs have not given us many reasons to believe them on the road. But we will see I guess

[Robz4000]

Start Bertans in the second half so we can get blown the fuck out and avoid the Harden 70 piece

He'll be in there stat padding regardless of the score.

[Robz4000]

:lol Forbes with 8 points is the Spurs' leading scorer

[Barfunk]

Missed layup

[boutons_deux]

spurs can't make layups, gimmes, but they can foul like crazy

[r0drig0lac]

what a block by bertans

[Robz4000]

:wow Bertans just destroyed Capela

[TheRemix]

Nice sequence.

[Spurch]

The spurs have not given us many reasons to believe them on the road. But we will see I guess

It's gonna change at some point..... Tonight

[skin27]

Spurs will come up short again like last game

[Kapeci88]

im a longtime spurs fan, but i have watched hardens entire career. Do you believe if Pop got Harden when he was a younger player that harden could have a ring by now. Harden has p[layed for 2 coaches in houston who arent really good at adjustments and still made the most out of it

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO at this Brent Barry commercial. "I always wanted to be a good teammate."

Well you gave your wife to the point guard. It's hard to be a much better teammate than that.

[Spurch]

The team being out of focus should be a bad enough sign. What more does these faggots need to be humbled by to show up every game? They’re just dogshit on the road and anyone expecting different is kidding themselves. Like my dude Mugen has said, it’s on the coach to prepare these guys for games but doesn’t ever seem to be the case.

Focus and rhythm coming slow but shore, how are we balling now?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Heh. Harden signalling for someone to come get White off of him.

[bklynspursfan]

Heh. Harden signalling for someone to come get White off of him.

Yea lol

[skin27]

White getting torched by harden with 50 pts incoming

[Alfo21]

Why force two long midrangers while scoring every single possesion from the paint? Completely killed the momentum.

[TheRemix]

Whites actually playing some really solid defense. But fuck harden is so annoying

[Leetonidas]

Lmao I had stopped watching to play the division 2 for a bit, came back and saw it got down to 5 and as soon as I turned it back LA bricks a jumper and harden pushes it to 9. Guess I can't watch the rest of the game if I want us to win :lol

[TheRemix]

Why force two long midrangers while scoring every single possesion from the paint? Completely killed the momentum.

This. No reason for that dumb shit

[TheGreatYacht]

44 for Harden. Fucking embarrasing. At what point will crater face die by PJ Tucker and help off of him?

[r0drig0lac]

Why force two long midrangers while scoring every single possesion from the paint? Completely killed the momentum.

low qi players

[Degoat]

I think we need one of those rare Davis Bertans ejections that energizes the team

[Ozballer]

Why force two long midrangers while scoring every single possesion from the paint? Completely killed the momentum.

It did. They reverted to Q1 plays. Let's see if they re focus after the time out. They are competing well.

[Indianman]

Why are the Houston announcers calling Bertans as Poeltl? Them fags gotta do more research.

[slick'81]

9 point game in the 3rd

[007nites]

forbes!

[Shakril]

The rockets commentator are calling bertans peoltl all the time. Like he is the only white dude on the team.

[timtonymanu]

:lol this Rockets team being the warriors biggest threat out West

[bklynspursfan]

Dumb rocket fans. Obvious trip

[Spurch]

The plan... Deny or make harden pass the ball let their weakest players beat us

[ZeusWillJudge]

I think we need one of those rare Davis Bertans ejections that energizes the team

Careful. The soy boys don't like that kind of talk. It's not civilized. :D

[TheGreatYacht]

Why are the Houston announcers calling Bertans as Poeltl? Them fags gotta do more research.
Seriously. One is a cancer and the other is Poeltl.

Sean should call Nene, Faried.

[r0drig0lac]

cmon Gay

[007nites]

rockets announcers lol

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck

[ZeusWillJudge]

.

[212094ever]

Fuck! Always a momentum killing play

[007nites]

they called rudy Marvin Gaye lol

[Shakril]

Houston commentators complaining about not getting fouls.....

[ZeusWillJudge]

Oh, come on. Get a damn shot up. Even a bad shot is better than that shit.

[Leetonidas]

Are you fucking kidding me. Can't afford idiotic turnovers like that

[r0drig0lac]

Demar!!!!

[007nites]

"Poetl dribbled the ball out of bounds" , "I'm sorry thats Day-Vis Bertans"

[Larry O]

Geesh, these Rocketts announcers are putrid! Calling Bertans Poeltl, SMH...

[ace3g]

DeThawed!!!

[Spurch]

Y can't these announcers get this bertans/peoltl name calling correct steupesss smh

[r0drig0lac]

2 point game

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck yea Poeltl. Helluva 3rd

[skin27]

Poetl!!!

[r0drig0lac]

nice effort

[Leetonidas]

Way to fight silver and black

[Spurch]

All tied up end of third

[skin27]

Bertans guarding cp3

[007nites]

POETL!

[Robz4000]

Poeltl, White, and DDR saving the Spurs.

[Uriel]

Wow.

[hater]

Tuttle :wow


Ma niga Tuttle

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Bertans is MIA. Brutal slump

[Ozballer]

GAME ON. Spurs need to stay dialled in Q4 and they will walk away with the WIN

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit.

[TheGreatYacht]

WHO CONFUSED POELTL FOR THAT BERTANS SCRUB?!?!?!

[hater]

Bertans is MIA. Brutal slump

He had amonster block

[skin27]

Fuck thunder leading the raptors and clippers leading the Cavs.

[TheRemix]

Fuck bertans what happened to your shot?

[twincam]

Sit LMA

[ZeusWillJudge]

Fuck bertans what happened to your shot?


Passes to Poeltl.

[$pursDynasty]

Poeltl, White, and DDR saving the Spurs.
Don't forget about the :lma he was the focus to start the 3rd

[Spurch]

The team being out of focus should be a bad enough sign. What more does these faggots need to be humbled by to show up every game? They’re just dogshit on the road and anyone expecting different is kidding themselves. Like my dude Mugen has said, it’s on the coach to prepare these guys for games but doesn’t ever seem to be the case.

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

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

He had amonster block
I'll give him that. Just a shame he's in such an awful shooting slump

[212094ever]

Win this fucking quarter

[r0drig0lac]

dwarf duo in the court

[RD2191]

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

[vander]

Bertans is MIA. Brutal slump

He needs to shoot more, shoot his way out of the slump

[Barfunk]

Missed. Layup.

[slick'81]

Poodle fckn power

[Uriel]

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.

[timtonymanu]

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

Rockets can still win this too tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta pull away with Haren on the bench

[r0drig0lac]

Purdlll the giant

[Ron Swanson]

A lead!

[Leetonidas]

Mills finally makes a layup :wow

[bklynspursfan]

To come back from 19 down in Houston, this wouldn't have happened months ago. Progress for sure

[hater]

Holy shit puttle is on some PCP :wow


Fucking beasting
