2017 Playoffs (WC/R2) Game 1 Thread: rockets @ SPURS (8:30 PM CT/4:30 AM Riga/TNT)

Open look after open look...

I know we'll make a run, but sheesh. Is anyone other than Kawhi gonna get going?

LaMarcus Faggot. Such a soft loser. He has no excuse this time. He has to show up.

Pop trying to play entire roster in the 1st quarter

Fuck LMA, worthless piece of shit. Trade that faggot in the off-season.

Only scoring 13 against the Rocket's D..... LMAO this team is trash. I wanna see all the delusional Spur fans who thought the Spurs would win this series.

I don't think Manu can play long in this series. We need the younger guys in and they need to step up. We need mobility

Look, every team will look bad when you miss good looks. SA getting good looks and so is HOU. HOU is hitting.

Simmons needs all of Manu's minutes...he should be on a bus back to Argentina by halftime...

It's virtually impossible to beat Houston if they're making their 3s, unless you're the Warriors, tbh..OKC kept it close because Houston shot poorly in every game but 1..

It's going to be like this every game..it could be Spurs in 5 just as easily as Rockets in 5(doesn't help that Spurs' offense is disgusting)

one assisst wont cut it from highst usage player tbh...

How in the fuck are they gonna have trouble getting physical with these guys after the series they just had?

thats the series

Kawhi also got away with a blatant 8 second violation there. They are not all there mentally, and they always seem to play this way. Been that way since Game 1 of the season.

Come on Spurs! Put on the gas!

Manu look like dogshit

They are just getting the easier-- and best--shots and making them.. it is simply question of a math..

Pop: Defense is looking bad, so I'll put in a number or worse defenders to fix it.

I bet he's wondering why the team hasn't been able to settle into this game yet.

Piece of shits surrounding kawhi :lol

Relax just game 1.
Best of 7

Aldridge should be fucking abusing Ryan Anderson, fuck that loser

I don't think old or young matters here... Neither Anderson, Lou Will or Gordon are particularly athletic, but if they're making shots, we're fucked...

Pop spotted them points by starting Lee. I have a feeling Dedmon is going to get the '06 Nazr treatment in this series.

Problem is that the Spurs have been missing good looks almost all of these playoffs. The offense has really sputtered outside of Kawhi. Having the worst backcourt in the league doesn't help matters either.

Missing layups. The geriatrics are shook. Please play youth.

Pau can't post up Harden or go to the rim on Lou Williams and LMA tenative as heck and DLee crapping the bed

Why the fuck is Manu taking the shot in that 2 on 1 when Kawhi is the other guy running the break? Leonard should have just hog the ball there. Easy basket or force Harden to commit a foul.

No matchup is looking favorable

Well starting fucking lee aint gonna work. :lmao

Manu has gotten plenty of good looks when he's attacking of the pass as the secondary handler. He's just missing like everyone else.

Defense is another story

great start

To the Rockets? I don't recall that... I do recall saying in november/december 2015 that the Spurs would lose in 6 to OKC in the 2016 Playoffs, that was brilliant on my part... but don't recall saying that this year

That clock started two seconds too early. It was already at 18 when they secured the board.

Just turned game on. Things will level out now.

Nah he's in the rotation lately... Dedmon has been benched.

LaMarcus Softridge aka Richard Jefferson 2.0 needs to be gone forever.

Man, this is some atrocious coaching, tbh..Pop hasn't panicked this much since Phil Jackson was on the other side of the court..

I understand your team is playing poorly, but you don't have to overreact and change the entire rotation when the series just began..

Not sure why y'all are surprised by the shit start. They did the same thing practically the whole second half of the season. They'll make a run eventually, imo.

Not a pretty start. You millennials might want to go to your safe space for awhile.

The 8 second violation is one of those that's called less than 5% of the time it's committed, just like offensive holding in football

Good looks are good looks. They will fall. HOU will stop. This backcourt is getting into the paint plenty and generating plenty of looks.

If you make 3 of the layups you have 6 more points and not only that you have a chance to get your defense set. Missing is a double whammy

:lol

Lol what kind of crap is this? They don't even look like they belong

Lou Williams averaged 19 ppg in the first round. I wanted to try and trade for him, would have traded Patty with no questions asked. I thought you said he's a playoff chokers, Harlem????????????

There we go. Patty is going to have to be Very good

Cliff jumpers already bitching in the first. Give the Spurs until the 3rd and then we can bump gutless worms.

:claw

goatwhi leonard

Leonard is goat.

MVPatty to the rescue tbh

You guys panic far too easily.. i get it most times, but you've seen how many times we came back this season

Kawhi has no idea how to pass out of pick n roll

looks like OKC series all over again

Pau is such a pussy6

game over.

Gasol is still playing shitty.

Kawhi's going to have to play all 48 minutes :lol

:lmao just fuck everyone on this team besides Kawhi

Sit Manu = run

Officially got it on mute now.

So they reward Nene but not Pau who got fouled. Ok

Everything going in for HOU. Nothing you can do. Look at that Garbo and-1.

Gasoline is a fag

Playoffs are not the regular season. Now teams are game planning and exposing the teams flaws.

Manu at least scored and had a steal lol. (Better start than last series) Im more worried about Green/LMA... again.

Fuck, Houston is an insufferable team.

terrid 1st quarter... vomit

Mills :tu

LMA is a bum vs any team in the league.:lmao

Rockets in 4...

Kevin Whoreland and Reggie Wedgie are trash... can I watch Bill and Sean anywhere?

I mean we trailed Memphis game 1 by what, 15? Different animal, but heck they were hitting 3s just like these guys.

I truly believe the Monstars stole LMA's game.

let's hope pop learned his lesson and doesn't play lee ever again.

What does Aldridge do for this team? :lol..

Who would have thought that Gasol was the big to play in this series.

https://jasonlittle39.files.wordpres...ere-doomed.jpg

that harden pass to nene was top notch.

Houston making impossible shots again. Sounds like a previous opponent we faced. But really what does that tell you about the defense?

Big first quarter leads usually always get blown. I'm sure we'll be fine. Just need to keep chipping away

Pop needs to get out of their way, though. The team needs to settle into the game, and fucking with the rotations and calling timeouts to shout at a guy won't do it. This isn't a team full of kids.

I am about to go in that thread and agree let's trade LMA lol. Hesitant.

Spurs need to do better than that against Houston's D. Would be a good idea not to play Gasol/Lee at all when Harden is in.

has lma checked out or what? seriously.

Would rather spurs start slow and get big lead and blow it
And then rockets can not miss
First round from deep 28 percent think. 6-13 in first
