They be getting excited over division champs gear. :lmao

"And for those "SMH" to buying a division champion gear, look, the team has done nothing for 17-18 years. Yeah, I'm gonna cheer for a division championship. If we were the spurs that won it year in and year out, than yeah it would be stupid to get excited over this. But houston has had nothing to be excited for in years."
:lmao
Believe me when I say this...I know Houston sports and this kind of crap is good enough for them.
"The Dallas board is roasting us for wanting division championship gear lol. I dont blame them, it is a little pathetic."

Let that put things in perspective for you. Spurs fans have been pretty spoiled over the last 26 or so years.
Wow that's pretty pathetic. Poor bastards
As a Spurs fan I buy only buy gear when they win a title but as a Houston Texans fan I would be overjoyed to win a division title over the colts.
EVen as a Padres fan, i wouldn't get that excited. But then again, they have won the NL West 4 or 5 times in the last twenty years.Quote:

On the other hand you could have spur fans 20 years from now get exciting about division titles since they didn't get get to experience the 5 titles. Its pretty much all about perspective. Now if they are old school Rox fans buying those shirts then that's pathetic.
dont think the Texans will go to the Super Bowl in my life time but it's okay since my NBA team has 5 titles.Quote:

No team better than 9-7 (Rockets) or worse than Spurs (7-9), with other three at 8-8. Back out those head-to-head games and division was 221-109, winning more than 2/3 of games = 55 win pace. Unbelievable.
And I thought I went overboard buying too many championship shirts/gears/caps from last year's run :lmao
Division champs :lmao

Christ some of those guys are delusional fucks. I never see any of them mention defense or all of hardens turnovers, they sure to do love using the other stats though.
I wonder if Drexler will snub Kawhi again :lol
Remember when they thought Duncan fouled Harden on a late game block? :lolQuote:

Houston broadcast is extremely bias, probably explains why they think like that.
Green did get fouled. It wasn't an over and back. they even gave some scrub 3 shots when tony fouled him instead of calling it on the floor. :lmaoQuote:

Interestingly their forum has a 50-page thread about the MVP race... I think it shows what are their expectations in terms of a successful season.
we had a 50 page thread about TOSB kirilenkoQuote:

They have their "this team is a fake contender" threads, anti-D'antoni threads, a small % of posters who deny Harden's greatness(like ST had with Kawhi, prior to this season, but the haters are mostly gone now), their own Green and Mills discussions(Ariza's inability to dribble and going on stretches of non-shooting, Beverley being a PG who doesn't have PG skills), etc..
"No way. Aldridge, Gasol, or Mills would be the Rox 2nd best player.":lol
Many of them are thankful for it not being on National TV. :lmao
We still get the "Kawhi ain't a playmaker" shit still. Like fucking god. Dude is an MVP player and this fucking cucks have something to complain about. :lolQuote:

Speaking of Rockets fans, it's crazy that just 2 or 3 years ago(whenever Parsons was with Houston), we were having Kawhi vs. Parsons arguments downstairs:lol
Rockets fans be like, "laaaaag"
Ever since 1995 ......after that "Olajuwon reign".....Spurs own the Rockets, tbh
not worried about the Harden rockets at all........

Problem is, that the "system" that people like to credit for Kawhi's greatness, is also the same thing that takes away from his assist numbers. Yeah he doesn't average as many assists as Lebron or Harden, but he is always setting up his teammates who make the extra pass to the open man. He doesn't get the assist but he made the play.Quote:

Every possession Leonard defended Harden:
1) Harden beats him to basket, sends it to open Ariza for clanked 3.
2) Harden beats him straight up, misses an open layup. Leonard a step behind.
3) Harden drains a 3 in Leonard's face.
4) Harden passes to Gordon, Gordon turns it over.
5) Harden breaks Leonard's ankles leaving him to ponder the meaning of life, Harden goes to corner, takes a 3 over Aldridge, misses.
6) Harden misses a 3, Leonard did nothing and gave him too much space but got lucky according to Spurs announcers.
* Harden guarded by Aldridge, EMBARRASSES him, they foul him hard sending him to the line.
7) Harden BLOWS BY Leonard. Leonard recovers and blocks it to cover his own ass.
They win by 2.
I got it. I've read all the arguments. I've said my piece. We'll seem them in the 2nd round."
What game was this guy watching. Harden turned the ball over the first 3 possessions Kawhi guarded him. None of these plays happened.
:lol All of his points came from either 1) Aldridge/Deadman switch 2) getting Green, who can't fight screens for shit, with a pick 3) Free throws
So out of that very biased, very incorrect collection of plays that, as you said: didn't take into account the many turnovers Harden had while being guarded by Kawhi, we still get that out of 7 plays Harden scored in just 1. Way to make a point Rocketfan.:lolQuote:

These games are meant for experimenting, though..it's evident in all these games that Harden is their only weapon(:lol people who are afraid of Lou Williams)..you can say the same for the Spurs, at the moment, but at least we know Aldridge can play like a superstar when he feels like it..

What is this :lol?Quote:

Where's the narrative that Harden is a system player.
Pringle's system generates mad regular season offensive stats for the PG and Harden is the beneficiary of that much more than Kawhi is.
Been trying to figure out how bad Sean is as a commentator. Lucky, Clutch Fans was there for me. It seems like the main problem they have with him is that he doesn't give Harden enough credit when they play. I don't personally see that as a problem. I think he talked plenty about Harden, but the biggest reason why Houston was carving the Spurs up was their own poor D, and Elliott harped on that.
Why exactly does Sean have such a bad reputation? I think he is biased, but he is usually tongue-in-cheek when he sees the Spurs get away with something rather than blatantly in denial that it happened. Like I watched the Warriors game last night, and the commentators watched a video where Klay clearly reached over and slapped an Atlanta player in the face, then they responded with, "All I see if that guy go down without being touched". I feel like Sean would have said, "Well we don't need to see that replay again," or "Yeah, he got with that hand there."
There are definitely more neutral teams out there, but Sean seems like a good balance between being an unabashed Spurs fan and a guy who is good at articulating what he sees (and illustrating it).
Sean does call it neutrally. I guess other teams think we are the "snobs" of the NBA. We "must be downtalking" all the time or something. They probably feel that way before he even says anything.Quote:

Not sure how successful it is, to my eyes test it has had very mixed results, but the coaching staff clearly like this.Quote:

That's logical as he's not only a Spurs fan or homer but a Spurs insider. So it's 100% Spurs with him and fans from other teams perceive that as disrespectful.Quote:

It's also pathetic that they think Harden going off had little to do with the Spurs D. It's like they didn't watch the team change their scheme and neutralize him during their comeback. That Houston has lost two big leads in a row against SA simply because the Spurs decided to try should be much more disheartening to them than it seems to be. A focused Spurs team would run train on them.
Some of the posters there see that but same as here most of the participants are rather casual fans who just happen to come from Houston or live in Houston, so they buy fully into the narrative that "shots don't fall" seemingly in a vacuum. In their view nobody ever shuts Harden down: he was tired, his shot wasn't falling, he had no help from his teammates, opponent got lucky, refs suck, etc.Quote:

Kawhi Leonard isn't even listed in this assisted points created rank. He's not even #1 on his own team (Tony Parker is).
The narrative that Leonard is a 2-way player while Harden isn't is incredibly misleading. Leonard doesn't have even remotely the playmaking skills that Harden/Westbrook/LeBron has. It's an element that's really missing from his game, and the media isn't penalizing him for it.
Harden's offensive value alone might actually be superior to Leonard's total value even with defense added.
Rockets fans :lmao :lmao
So 39 points doesn't count because it's not pretty and the media doesn't penalize him the it? :lolQuote:
