Our guys went toe to toe with the Rockets

[sananspursfan21]

Can’t be overly pissed about this loss. Came back from down 19, led by 6 until Harden did Harden things, nearly won in Houston despite being a bottom feeder road team and being pretty cold from the field overall. The competitive spirit in me is LIVID but the realist in me is alright.

I HATE Harden when he’s the ref’s darling but the refs had nothing to do with his god-mode 4th quarter. He doesn’t need the refs to be great, they’re just icing on his disgusting cake. I’d be more angry if he got a bunch of And-1’s to seal this game.

Let’s cool off Spurs fans, we’ll live. At least we know that even a 1st round oust will be a total dog fight :flag:

[r0drig0lac]

moral victory?

[TDMVPDPOY]

a loss is a loss man, no point playing the toe to toe bs

[sananspursfan21]

moral victory?

I cant stand the term and avoid it at all costs but....yeah :drunk

[timtonymanu]

:lol Yeah the 1st round annihilation by the Warriors will be fun for a 3rd year in a row

[boutons_deux]

DDR and LMA are not winners, not champions

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Yeah good game. Spurs played well.

Spurs with only 4 more fouls than them but 15 less FTAs.

Doesn’t matter the spurs have a first round date with the warriors at this point .

:lol Yeah the 1st round annihilation by the Warriors will be fun for a 3rd year in a row

Denver is the place to go . . .

[sananspursfan21]

No it won’t. But the one game the Spurs will win in the series will be game 3 giving us a little glimmer of hope instead of the pity game 4 win to avoid the sweep :)

When do they hand out the toe to toe championship?

Lol people still thinking we can challenge Denver without HCA.

Didn’t we have an internet fight already? Looks like somebody’s cruisin’ for a cyber bruisin’ :ihit

We'd take them. Srs.

[phxspurfan]

No it won’t. But the one game the Spurs will win in the series will be game 3 giving us a little glimmer of hope instead of the pity game 4 win to avoid the sweep :)

When they go up 3-0 on this team they’ll sweep. This years Spurs don’t fight back when down

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs snatched defeat from the claws of victory. DeChoken took a bad call personally and threw the game away with a series of ball-hogging possessions down the stretch.

As far as the OP goes, in the grand scheme of things theres really not much difference between winning a close one and losing a close one. I worry when we dont compete. This performance wasn't that. If anything it suggests we'd be a very tough out for Houston.

Right and being an athlete all my life, I mostly agree with the loss is a loss sentiment. On the same token, a 30 point blowout loss would have us all in spiral. Harden hit 3 threes in a row to put the game out of reach. I wanna call it dumbluck but he’s done this before. The dagger three he hit was miscommunication on defense, not a result of bad defense per se. Also, the Spurs were just cold from the field, especially Bertans. Davis hits one more of his many wayward threes we’re all getting stoopid right now about how the Spurs are PEAKING AND MIGHT HAVE A SHOT AT CHIPPING AGAIN

Bruh don’t waste your time spewing FACTS to these clowns......

[TDomination]

I've said it before, I feel that this year is a warm up year to next year where hopefully we can be true contenders. I'm happy to see our guys battle back on the road against a division rival. Sucks we lost but I hope they learn from it.
I do worry about pop giving the ball to ddr at the end of games when you have white who can put the team in a better position. At least to get off a decent shot. These TOs at the end of games are getting old. Gotta fix that.

But overall I'm pleased. Hopefully they continue getting better.

You sir are a glutton for punishment��. I’m not gonna do it....you can’t make me!

[paperboy77]

Didn't' read shit of this thread but the title. Rockets are certainly defeat-able.... especially by these Spurs. Playoff time i bet Harden will not get this kinda favoritism.... no one will. (except GSW) Anyway this loss felt better than some of the home wins. {Guys I'm barely there after all this Crown}

[paperboy77]

Also.. we are now eighth ..... Go Nuggets Go!

[monty4329]

Yes, toe to toe until, as always, the crybaby faggot gifted the game to the opposing team. DDR is a total loser, why the fuck Pop plays him is a mistery to me. How many games did he singlehandedly wasted this season?

The game was solidly in Spurs hands after a very good comeback. Then, loser wants the ball, starts crying with the refs, and we lose.

Yes, you got a bad call, get a grip on it for fuck sake!: you don't get calls because you behave like a teenager crybaby.

Fucking loser DDR.

[John B]

If ever Spurs meet Rockets again, Spurs would adjust. You can’t win with just one man. He’s boubd to get tired, or even injured ll the one his minutes are.

And choked when it counted and gave up 61 to Harden. I am not impressed

[NameLess Scrub]

Wonder if :pop: is trying to put DDR in situations so he can learn for next year.

Or so he can learn for next month?

I liked real victories over moral ones more tbh

Just saw that flop by Harden. Probably worse than Horry's against the Jazz years ago. It's an absolute disgrace and blatant cheating. Stupid league should make flops reviewable and treat them the same as flagrants (1 or 2 and suspend if egregious and it would stop).

Since when do we celebrate losses?

This is the new ST, where participation trophies are the norm unfortunately.

[Atl Spur]

This is celebrating a loss?

[sananspursfan21]

I don’t think reading comprehension is a strong suit here. I never said I was happy with the loss. I’m just not worried about the loss and I’m not cliff jumping. Our guys nearly won on the road against a top western conference team. No celebration here, just expressing it’s nothing to commit suicide over.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Sure they didn't win. But they did come in second, right? I mean, second place isn't that bad.

I guess, but it won't matter as much if they play the warriors :lol

Was a fun game to watch.

You guys play harder than we do.

Big deal. The Rockets aren't even contenders.
