    Rockets looking mighty scary out there and deep as . Any of their rotation guards (Harden, Beverley, Gordon and Williams) is better than any of our rotation guards and their front court isn't looking too shabby either with Ariza, Anderson, Capella and Nene.
    They just lost to the Pacers at home who, admittedly, aren't playing terrible lately. The Clippers are getting destroyed because the Rockets are hitting every ing thing - and the Clippers never looked compe ive.

    I have doubts about this team, but they definitely are super dangerous.

    I guess they really want to watch Spurs-Jazz in the conference semis.

    I think the Rockets are the tougher matchup now, and it's not really close.

    They have the coaching advantage in the playoffs. Their bench has two 6MOY candidates compared to our defensive liabilities in Mills/Ginobili. They average 40.0 3PA/game compared to the Spurs 22.5 3PA/game. They lead the league in free throw attempts and get away with blatant flopping. Harden will get to rest defensively when he hides on Danny Green. Any chance of MVParker showing up with get stomped by Patrick Beverley. They have Ariza guarding Kawhi...

    Called it. Just cringing at our backup guards, the brick brothers, guarding Lou and Gordon....

    I'd still go Clippers, because they have double the stars, significantly more pressure (could be viewed as a negative, but I've found it often propels teams) and the Spurs play with less confidence against them . . . but it really doesn't matter at this point, since they're going to be eliminated by the Warriors in the 2nd round.

    that frontcourt sucks, tbh(relatively speaking)..




    And of course the Clippers want the Spurs, it's their easiest matchup outside of Utah among the top 7 teams, despite SA beating them last game..they would lose in a series vs. GS, Houston, Memphis and maybe even the ty OKC team(all poor matchups for them)..

    Well, I don't blame them for that.

    They look like against most teams but against us they play like three-peat Lakers or MJ Bulls...

    I haven't actually been watching the Clippers. They're back at full strength. Why are they such a disaster lately? Surely, they're not REALLY tanking for the Spurs?

    And by the way, in the big picture, has Doc done anything DelNegro didn't? He was ousted after a 55 win season because Rivers was the difference maker.

    Not this early, especially with Warriors now in danger of siding to 2nd seed...they have looked really ty since the break (should have lost the Hornets too) which explain why we actually managed to squeak out a win against them while they got destroyed by Houston/GS ..

    I don't know if I'm confident against Houston anymore either. Our team just doesn't have any consistent offense outside of Kawhi.

    Bigger threat to us than the washed Clips tbh

    Would rather face the Clippers, Houston scares the out of me.

    Houston has nothing outside of Harden, he was the only reason they were even close the Spurs' questionable defensive coverage was the other reason..


    I don't find the Rockets to be scary, at all, especially considering the weakness of their style in the playoffs..even when they were up by 15+, I never felt like the Spurs were out of the game, since Houston's offense is based on 3s(high variance) and they have an average defense..

    Both teams can--and likely will-- beat us with the way Green/Mills are shooting the ball and Aldridge playing this soft on offense since Kawhi is going to get triple teamed 2009 Lebron-style..

    Clippers are still tougher match-up on paper based on recent history, but Houston offensive ceiling is scary..They are flawed, but so was OKC last season.

    Spurs could be having to worry about their defensive scheme if Dedmon doesn't regain his footing soon and Pop has no choice but reinsert Pau in the starting lineup..We closed out with D Lee last night and were lucky R. Anderson couldn't get back in the game beacuse of his back..

    They can't stop Cleveland from getting to the paint. Lebron, Kyrie, and Jefferson going nuclear

    Spurs are bailing out too many ty defenses like Hou/Clips with ISO ball because they lack penetrators...it took only Manu/TP to have their legs underneath them after the AS break to pick apart LAC with LA/Kawhi sitting in 3rd Q..Looking forward to more motion offense with Aldridge on the shelf in next few games..Kawhi is the only guy that should be posted-up..
