Agreed, it's pretty awful. Luckily travel will be a minor issue.
Spurs in 5 or Rockets in 6
Kawhi wont be as dominant as Rockets have better defenders for him and he will have his hands full with Hardon (pun intended) Kawhi will be in foul trouble at least 2 games this series
I cant see Parker having another monster series
Someone else will have to step up
Danny has always been good vs the rockets iirc
Spurs in 7
Spurs in 6, Our bigs need to ball out this series. After playing against memphis lma should be prepared to dominatw the rockets
Spurs 7. I rarely predict a 7 game series, but this is one of those times. I just think Harden is going to go nuclear in at least 3 games and the Spurs role players will it up.
Good point Hardon will be guqrding Danny a lot
Danny needs to make Hardon pay
I correctly predicted Spurs in 6 vs Grizz fellas
Here it is....
Spurs in 6 again
My biggest worry is Patrick Beverly against Parker, I could see a Beverly cheap shot coming. But I still think with Harden's hurt wrist the Spurs take it in 5.
I'm so worried about this matchup. But Spurs in 5.
spurs are coming off a series against a gritty team that plays physical, is composed, clutch, and battle tested... rockets are coming off a series against a guy who pads rebounds so he can get triple doubles
houston still hasnt played playoff basketball (figuratively). plus poop owns pringles
Watch GS get two days off in between all of their WCSF games. 3 out of 4 of their games against Portland were on two days of rest.
was gonna post this in the memphis game thread:
Gotta go Rockets in 6. The Spurs supporting cast has been brutal in these playoffs.
- I don't trust Aldridge to supplant Parker as the consistent 2nd scoring option in the series..The Parker regression is coming-- Beverley going to get sicced on him and he will be targeted more on defense-- and LMA has shown me nothing for entirety of the season to believe he will deliver that second Spurs punch.
- Houston has more reliable firepower on their bench..Lou/Gordon/Nene won them the series against OKC..
- Huge question mark over the Spurs second big/center. Pop not experimenting with the Kawhi at the 4 still boggles my mind..Lee/Pau/Dedmon may all prove to be unplayable in this series..
- Green shot still broken; we are in big trouble if his minutes are limited..Those Parker/Mills line-ups will get torched.
- Playoff Poop..
Rockets in 6, unless Kawhi goes nuclear.
Good practice for the Warriors. A lot of switching. If we struggle against the Rockets, we don't have much chance against the Dubs Church.
spurs need to run a LOT of off-ball action for danny. the rockets will undoubtedly hide harden on him, and he's a lazy defender who falls asleep all the time.
the parker/mills lineup wont work against houston when they bring in lou williams or eric gordon, so this is a series where we need danny out there for defense. if he's knocking down his shots on the other end, i think this series is really easy for us.
Spurs in 5......
This.Spurs in 5......
People that fear D'Antoni in the playoffs...
I'm leaving for Europe in the morning and I'm not sure if it will be easy for me to catch the games (hopefully most places air the games on TV). Spurs in 6.
Spurs really made some boneheaded defensive plays against MEM but a lot of that was due the great screens and physical play. Have to cut that out vs HOU or they will shoot the same as MEM did from 3
Hoping to find NBA basketball on TV in Europe might be difficult ... nobody cares
Rockets in 7
