Van Gundy "Rockets are favorites if they play the Spurs"

[DesignatedT]

We get it. Winner gets 7, Loser gets 8. Stop saying it.

[Johnny RIngo]

Man we better not let the Lakers think they have any chance against us when we play them.

Tell that to Parker. He's the one that s himself when he sees the purple and gold jerseys.

[DesignatedT]

[SenorSpur]

Damn Howard just mauled harden.

It's shocking that the refs didn't reward Harden with yet another call.

Basketball reasons tbh... If that were Duncan it would've been a foul on him...

Oh yeah no doubt. With that said I fully expect that kind of play once tony or manu get in the lane like that. Not making any excuses jist keeping it trill.

I do not know why most people here dislike van Gundy. He always gives the Spurs props when they are playing good. Right now they are banged up and playing like , so he is right about Houston having more talent and the upper hand with Ginobili not being Ginobili. He also said that the Lakers do not have "enough" (of whatever) to win a playoff series this year. Now we are playing the Lakers and I hope van Gundy was right ...

[spurs10]

He is an idiot in almost every way you can define the word. I'm sure someone like Pop is very intimidating to him, in that Pop is everything he never will be.

With the way the Spurs are playing, I think almost every team is favored to beat the Spurs man.

Yep, and unless they can turn that around they are the team to face in round one right now. I have not seen A THING IN WEEKS! Just reassuring tonight IMO losing to the Wolves at home that make me thing we will win a series. Do I think they can win a series, yes! BUT right now this team sucks lol.

Well, you are right. It's been hard to watch to be sure. I still have this feeling that our flame-out in the WCF stuck in the craw of this team and RS wins are of little importance to them. Pop wasn't trying to win tonight or either of the last two previous games. Now whether they can all of a sudden just turn it on is yet to be seen, but surely they can turn it up a notch!!?? I really believe they have a preferable path back to the WCF and could have a bit of momentum going by then. Either that, or we have been playing our best and just suck!

IF they have been playing this bad and just suck, well I have no clue at all I don't know how you go from that good to that bad in no time! I hope they are not focused and get focused now! Seriously.

Van Gundy gushes endlessly anytime he calls a Spurs game. He and Breen always mentioned the Spurs and their "right way" of playing before the current slump.

Lastly, Van Gundy is the guy who said on air during a game that "we wants to move to San Antonio and get on the waitlist for season tickets" so he can watch the Spurs play.

No TNT/ESPN announcer has it out for the Spurs....hmmm, maybe Steve A Smith but even then he gives them props when they're due.

Honestly, I didn't know that. That is pretty cool of him to say. But still, every time I watch a game he commentates on he seems to show us no love Maybe I'm too used to Sean Elliott, LMAO. JK there. He just seems wishy washy.
