I think that site is dead right now. It says the website is not responding. Hmmm...
Any more gems from Fans?

That is way too funny.
They were ripping on Dorsey, Morey and McHale pretty bad over there. I thought it was bad here, but dayum...
Less clutch and more gas I say.
LOL
I spent some time reading their forum today and most of them look absolutely dejected. It looks a lot like Spurs talk a few years ago, when old age seemed to have finally caught up with Tim, when Tony and Manu couldn't get healthy, when Bonner was playing 30 minutes and our playoffs hopes relied on guys like Bogans or RJ...
"I hate the Spurs more than any professional team ! I just don't get why these old farts continue to win."
Clueless Rockets fan. He truly thinks the Spurs aren't good yet continue to win.

Rockets new playoff strategy, don't play the Spurs.
5.For all the discussions about playoff matchups, it always was clear whom the Rockets should have hoped to play in the first round: anyone but the Spurs. The Rockets have a chance to be one of those teams that improves through the playoffs. Wednesday’s game was just their third with their current starting lineup. Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones are still making up for all the time they missed. But to get better in the post-season would require getting out of the first round. While the Rockets are retooling again, with Donatas Motiejunas joining Pat Beverley on the shelf for the duration of the season, the Spurs are soaring into the post-season. The Rockets headed into Wednesday’s game as the West’s second seed. If they don’t beat the Spurs on Friday, they would fall to sixth. That could mean a first-round matchup with the Grizzlies, Clippers or Spurs without home-court advantage. None seems an attractive option. None seems possible for a team that will finish with between 53 and 57 wins. The Rockets should know what they want. Not San Antonio.

It would be nice to put them out in the playoffs but still don't wanna play them, no way my tv survives a series with the bs calls hardon gets
Coming into this season I thought there were only 3 teams that could come out of the West; the Spurs, Griz, and Thunder. Now it's really down to 2 with the Spurs and Warriors. The Rockets, like most other playoff teams in the West are flawed. They're good enough to make the playoffs in the tough West but just not good enough to be serious contenders.
Don't sleep on the Clips. Choke Paul is still choke Paul but they're playing solid ball.
Memphis could get out if they get a few breaks along the way. They beat ppl up and grind you
I think Clippers have the best chance of the non Spurs/GS teams, Memphis is garbage.
disagree. not after last year's Clippers playoffs
We own Memphis though, I see them giving us less problems than CP0disagree. not after last year's Clippers playoffs
sure but they are not guaranteed to face us right? that is why I said "if they get a few breaks along the way"
my point is Memphis is a team built for the playoffs and the slower half court game.
As usual opponent team fans giving more credit to Parker than own fan base tbh...

When Parker will inevitably drive by prigs and terry Friday night I'd expect to send help from Smith, Jones, Dwight. I think the answer for San Antonio at least is to try Ariza on Parker. Put Harden on Kahwi Leonard and Brewer on Green/Ginobli. With Ariza's length Parker won't get off as many easy looks.
"Yes, but when you double him aggressively (and try to keep the ball out of his hands), he merely gets other players wide open 3's, or starts to get Leonard and Green in a rhythm. Also, despite improvement, the Rockets are not a great helping defensive team. Inevitably, somebody makes a mistake in the rotations, and leaves somebody wide open for a 3 or a dunk.
My entire premise is that Tony Parker, by himself, will not beat you... but multiple Spurs starters having big games will.
Also, Parker is the only one who can create his own shot. The others rely on him facilitating.
Make them one dimensional and it gives you a better shot to win... even if Parker goes off."
This quote tho "Also, Parker is the only one who can create his own shot. The others rely on him facilitating. " made me
Spurs have multiple players than create for themselves tbh... Manu, Boris, Kawhi, Patty etc....
Thing is Teams still plan stuff on Defense to stop parker and when they don't Parker is still capable to make them pay as seen yesterday. This aspect is overlooked but key tbh fwiw
hahahahahahahahhahahaha i really hope they do this. would entertaining AFAs usual opponent team fans giving more credit to Parker than own fan base tbh...
