Game Thread: Rockets at Spurs 8:30 EST (7:30 CST, 5:30 Vegas time) April 8th!

[ducks]

great shooting by rockets and only up 1 at end of quarter

[Nathan89]

If someone regularly air balls fts then hacking them is going to work.

Harden over Curry for MVP tbh.

Harden is just unstoppable. Curry may go cold but Harden with that ridiculous foul drawing drive is absolute.

[Cry Havoc]

That was the best punch the Rockets could possibly give us. We're standing and down just one even though we missed open shots.

Lock down on D, hit your open 3s, and blow them apart.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just turned on the game, sum off first Q?

And then Manu and Diaw personally saved a hideous quarter in the final minute to make it a 1 point game going into 2.

Watch Kawhi go MVP mode in the second period

[Silver&Black]

Just turned on the game, sum off first Q?

Defense is awful....PNR especially.
Harden living at the line...
Hack a Dorsey is working....
MVParker is en fuego....
Been down by as much as 9.....
Manu and Bobo hitting 3s to cut it to 1....

[TheGreatYacht]

And ST was saying Montejiunas was their Jeff Ayres

Now we get to hack a Dorsey

[ElNono]

Spurs need to pick their poison, and it can't be Harden... let him get his, don't foul... cover the rest...

That was sustainable offense by the rockets. it's what they do.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Shades of Manu's hero days of yore, tbh

[Raven]

duncan credited with 3 blocks, wtf

[GSH]

Just turned on the game, sum off first Q?

Yay!
WTG Tony!
Oh damn!
Oh, me!
The sky is falling!
The world is ending!
That's better.
Yeah!
We're lucky to be back in it.
Shut up got!

he'd drop 60 tbh

DMo is a 60% FT shooter... same

All their bigs suck at FTs

[Pound the rock]

Unrealistic to expect domination every night but hoping d improves

[FaM0us Skins]

Let's go Spurs.

[pgardn]

A professional BASKETBALL player missing an uncontested FT by a foot...
And they want to take out that auto fouling.

How does a guy who spends that much time around a hoop and a basket miss a 16 foot shot by an entire foot...
He sucks, he is not a real BASKETBALL player, get him off the floor.

[ElNono]

he'd drop 60 tbh

let him.. who's dropping the other 40?

[RD2191]

play harden rough, send him to the line, 2 is better than 3

[Raven]

That was sustainable offense by the rockets. it's what they do.

i don't agree, the defensive missmatches were caused by offensive rebounding.

[RD2191]

[ElNono]

see? they all leak out for the fastbreak... Spurs need to be sharp with the transition d

[Horry Hipcheck]

That was the best punch the Rockets could possibly give us.

Best that Harden could give us, maybe, with more to come, but at their best Howard and Ariza will cut the Spurs up.
