2017 Playoffs (WC/R2) Game 1 Thread: rockets @ SPURS (8:30 PM CT/4:30 AM Riga/TNT)

Manu showing up

Indeed. I called his game 5 resurgence ...last round i say he helps win one game every series he plays in ...problem is some of the other games he will suck ...old age ...it happens.

Lee can't guard on the perimeter and he also can't hit perimeter shots, so he shouldn't really be getting big minutes this series let alone starting. What was Pop thinking by starting him???????????????????????????????? Pop set the tone and then panicked. Pop completely ed the Spurs this game.

[DAF86]

Everyone was begging for that dude a week ago

Not me, tbh.

SHOW YOURSELF DELUSIONAL SPUR FANS

Says the one who predicted the Spurs would be backdoor swept by Memphis.

[Chinook]

Mmh no, didn't even remember it, tbh. That's another bad take to add to the list, tbh.

I'm talking about takes like "Aldridge should be the number one option over Tony". Trading "Aldridge for Paul is a terrible move", among other pretty awful takes.

I'm going assume you mean Kawhi in that first quote. For the second, if you don't understand why trading Aldridge for Paul is a bad move, that's on you. All you'd be doing is opening one hole to fill another, while keeping that vacuum at PG on the roster.

Spurs need some real athletes

[spurtech09]

HOU going to break a record of 3's made in playoff game.

Only against the Spurs.....Rockets won't do this again....Fluke

[SpurPadre]

Da Admiral must be having bad flashbacks and feeling bad for Kawhi right now.

[cd98]

Well at least we can all go to bed at 10pm. Nothing to see here.

[Barfunk]

Yea this game is over no cliff jump.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Well if Houston can hit this many 3`s all series then congrats. Maybe they can take down GSW too

11 3ssss

[Robz4000]

Didn't think this would happen to the Spurs until a possible matchup with Golden State. Hopefully it's just one of those games, but if this keeps up all series the Spurs won't win a game.

[Slippy]

No excuses for LA. Had Anderson under basket didnt even try to seal him. Just seems content to watch

[SAGirl]

Just one game but another game where the bench didn't provide any spark (like last series vs MEM). Sure, starters dug the hole, but would be nice to see the bench that was great all year step up now. Put that on Pop though and the lineups.

Its been Lamarcus playing with the bench ... his post ups screw the bench up. my theory anyways. He then enters this either hesitant state passing up shots he needs to take and not passing when there are guys open.

[daslicer]

All you scary cliff jumpers calm the down. It's still early

I agree. It's too early to say who will win the series. The Spurs look like they are heading for a loss. I will say this if the spurs are 2-2 after 4 games they will win this series but if they go down 3-1 or 3-0 they are finished.

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson travelled then charged haha

[myhc]

I doubt Houston will stay this hot from 3.

[RD2191]

WTF is this offense?

[testies]

Spurs will be the franchise that people will be taking turns to on our face in revenge

clippers already had their revenge, pringles will have his.. whose next

[cd98]

Da Admiral must be having bad flashbacks and feeling bad for Kawhi right now.

Naw, even David's Spurs played better than this.

[spurtech09]

Wow Rockets just shooting 3's

[testies]
