Pringles gives me hope.

[spursistan]

Not surprised in the least, this the Aldridge we saw all season long safe for two weeks stretch in December..

[DAF86]

Chinook: " LMA and our bigs will impose their will" ..

He is low key one of the worst posters in terms of basketball takes on this forum, tbh.

[spurtech09]

thinking this fraudulent team was going to challenge the dubs

Spurs are playing Rockets not Dubs.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

That's why we need more players that can drive. All their 3pt shooter can drive. Green, LMA, and Pau can't dribble at all.

Exactly. No one gets to the midle

[Nathan89]

They are running circles around us. We our ed.

[Darius Bieber]

Would like to see Spur fans like Cry Havoc spin this.

[ElNono]

Manu doing ok, too bad he's 40 instead of 30.

yeah, there's no saviors here when HOU is shooting like that

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We can't take Leonard out now, we have to keep him in if we don't want the deficit to balloon to 20.

@Millennial Messiah ing called it!!!!!

[DarrinS]

Hard to guard 4 guys that can hit 3's, tbh

[DPG21920]

Meh, Spurs were going to lose this game regardless if Houston is making 3s at this rate..

The alarming thing is that all the bigs look way too slow on defense..no way Spurs can stay big if none of them are actually punishing them on the other end..

Dedmon's value on the perimeter is useful here he will have to get minutes over Lee obviously

[RD2191]

green Chinook

[SAGirl]

Manu sits = Simmons plays = leads balloon to 22...

I'd say a lot of that had to do with Lamarcus. I think at this point it doesn't matter who is next to him.

[spurtech09]

Doesn't look good right now

[DAF86]

Simmons sucks.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Rockets are making the Meme Bros look like a pee-wee league. This is ridiculous

[Ice009]

LOL everyone here took a huge on OKC for having a scrub ass team, yet they played much, much better against the Rockets. Spurs are making OKC look like a legit team and the Spurs the worst team in the playoffs. Fans here said Grizz would have the bed against the Rockets if they beat the Spurs, but IMO no way would the Grizzlies have had their asses handed to them like this at home in Memphis.

Pathetic coaching move to start David Lee against an offensive team like this. It's like all those years starting Bonner. Should have went with Dedmon.

[Splits]

It's on Poop for taking Leonard out at the start of the 2nd. Down only 9 and the deficit balloons to 22. Just as I said.

Dumb , he can't play 48 min. He played the entire first quarter.

[tholdren]

The front court has been mostly fine. Pop isn't using them well at all. They're giving LMA the ball 20 feet away from the basket instead of hitting him faster than that.

Chinook is a known re . he swears by green

[weeks]

Spurs are playing Rockets not Dubs.

sad!

[ElNono]

why is Danny still handling the ball???

[RD2191]

I fukin hate lma with a passion.

[Mikeanaro]

This stuff happens because Spurs are slow, these scrubs move fast and leave them far behind buying some time for shoot pass etc.

[Chris]

Rockets getting those ticky tack calls in our building

[TimDunkem]

Spurs making Houston's defense look like all-world These guys have no shot blocking for sake. Aldridge should be punishing these fools. WTF is going on?

This team sucks. Those 61 wins were all Kawhi.
