WCSF series: (2) Spurs vs (3) Rockets Official Predictions Thread

[ElNono]

I have the Spurs in 6, but not ruling out Pop throwing a game, per par... so voted Spurs in 7....

[GSH]

I'm sitting here watching the zebras over Utah, and I'm ready to predict at least a couple of epic meltdowns on ST. Watching this, it's easy to understand why there are so many conspiracy theorists.

I just sat here watching CP3 wrap both arms around Joe Johnson, to deny him the ball. A full-on bear hug that lasted a full 4-5 seconds of a possession. Everybody in the arena saw it. Everybody at home saw it. The only person who didn't see it was the ref standing 6 feet away. How the is that basketball?

No Harden, the Rockets get destroyed.

Who said no Harden? Having him parked in the corner to keep KL out of the middle to prevent him from swiping the ball doesn't mean no Harden, he'd still be leading the break and bringing the ball up, but once he dumps it off he moves out to the corner so KL follows. If Pop switches off Harden, whomever KL is guarding moves out to the corner.

Ooo can we predict other people's responses?

dabom: Rockets in 4, Parker is gay

throlden: Rockets in 5, Parker scores 0 points in the series.

Darius Bieber: Rockets in 3, Spurs forfeit the 4th game because they're the worst team in NBA history.

God, I hope Mike D coaches like you do. We'll dominate.

the change of pace will be refreshing for the spurs.

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

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.

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).

this is all terrible, terrible advice.

No . Say what you want about his defense and FT seeking behavior, but Harden has carved up the Spurs with simple pick and rolls. Getting to the rim, putting bigs on skates, lob to Capella, kick outs to wide open shooters. Just lol at the idea that Pringles would have him camp out in the corner. Not to mention the fact that Danny will likely be on him until late in the 4th Qtr.

So basically they'll just run their regular offense? That's what they do anyway. Space the out of teams.

[SASdynasty!]

relies on certainty but invokes "god".

Hey even if you believe life is just luck with no explanation, God is still the only theorietical omniscient.

I will go with my trademark: Spurs in 6. Spurs PF/Cs should feast in this series.

So basically they'll just run their regular offense? That's what they do anyway. Space the out of teams.

Their regular offense is Harden walking the ball up the floor then trying to run off a screen to get fouled. He'll dump it off now and then resulting in a turnover or 3pt attempt, and sometimes he just dumps it as soon as he crossed the half court, and then he just stands up top to the side and watches. They do not space the out of teams. Having the guy KL is guarding stay away from the lane keeps him from being effective but the rest of the defense on the Spurs cannot stop the rest of the offense on the Rockets. Leonard getting his hands in and being at the rim is a problem.

I don't expect Mike to employ that strategy, but it's effective and was proven to be in at least one game in the RS. Butler only scored like 4 points but the Spurs lost because KL was out of the way.

You mean hypothetical? There's no theory of omniscience.
