Not enough... Simmons isn't getting shots when he's in ... Both have a short hook. Bertans only 4 minutes last game. Anderson was benched. Despite the hate here... he can help... maybe will need to if some roleplayers keep putting Ofers out there.
Harden is a choker. I cannot bring myself to predict him doing anything other than flopping his got head back and living at the FT line. He turns the ball over 4 times in a row to start every game. We could conceivably be up 8-0 in every game, 15-0 if we can get hot from 3 and win the opening tip.

Key to the series is not necessarily how we guard Harden, it's how they guard Kawhi. He was shredding double teams by a far better defensive squad. If Ariza can't handle him, I don't know what they do.
You will need to get League Pass over there, as the games likely won't be on TV. That's what I've done in the past. Had a hard time unsubcribing when I got home. Bill Mc might have some good tips.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
They'll do on defense what Chicago did, which was to put their best player (Harden in this case) in the corner and beat the Spurs with everyone else. This keeps KL away from the paint. On offense, they will double KL on every possession and challenge the others to beat them. I think any time KL touches the ball he's going to see at least two people, maybe 3.
Hook up with someone (if you have international calling w/o fees) and facetime or video chat. They can simply aim their camera to the screen. Not the best but it works (I've done it).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.

Sticking Harden in the corner? That would concede the series before it begins.
Pringles may have to double Kawhi, which will be a sight to see. I can't imagine they have the discipline that Memphis had.
Spurs in 6 or 7. People are underestimating Houston and their shooting. Going to be a tough series.
TBH. Toss up series imo.
I still think that if the first 50/50 game falls in our favor, it's a sweep.
Let's say this, for all the great compe ion that Memphis gave us, we could have easily won in 5 if that 50/50 game goes our way and if pop doesn't decide to go full high school teacher in game 3 we could have won that game too.
Game six wasn't as 50/50 as game 4 and that didn't go our way.

Houstons scrubs were made to go off on us.
yeah. his team carried him the other night even with him chucking and choking in a close one.
beverley and capela will affect tony's play.
i think my gut is saying the rockets in six. i need to think about it a little more though. kawhi is a ing killer.
the change of pace will be refreshing for the spurs.
You just need WiFi tbh.

All mobile.
Clipper Nation: Rockets in 6. Since my favorite point guard can't get to the WCF, Parker shouldn't be able to.
I'm not sure who will win because I'm not God tbh
You said we would lose to Grizz in 7. For your sake, i hope you dont bet on these games/series. Your debt will be thru the roof.
I do expect Aldridge to score more in this Series though. A couple of 30+pts games would be awesome!
He ain't the main focus on offense but look at the intensity he's playing here:
They did that with Jimmy Butler and they won. They won't win relying on Harden to win at the FT line unless Pop sticks with Gasol. You get KL out of the middle and Houston has enough talent to compete.
relies on certainty but invokes "god".
He was a bad bad man in that series.
HOpefully we get angry Aldridgenext series ..
No Harden, the Rockets get destroyed.
I fully expect Aldridge to be the #2 scorer for the Spurs in this series. Parker will be guarded by the best defensive player the Rockets have.
