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

[Horse]

Definitely like to see dedmon. Slow this down. Probably can't win tonight but we can figure these s out. We knew atleast one game they'd shoot lights out. They got nothing when those jumpers aren't falling. We're also not helping ourselves at all missing layups and terrible decisions.

[Capt Bringdown]

Biggest half-time deficit in Spurs playoff history?
I guess it had to happen sometime.

[noles1983]

Blow this up, KL stays everyone else can drop ing dead.

[FkLA]

Who do we get in place of LMA? Not even defending him, he's playing like a birch and has underperformed all year. Just not sure there are better, realistic options out there smh.

[SAGirl]

Pop should start Murray and leave Parker on the bench.

Memphis was his DEAD CAT BOUNCE, and he's thudded back to Earth.

He won't. Team is going to go down (or up) with the veterans. It's just Pop.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

So guys... how many sacks is Taco Charlton gonna get this year? How about DeMarcus?

[tmtcsc]

The Spurs look lost tonight. They'll get their together but it's too late tonight. No need to slurp Houston just yet. They are still the Rockets and their coach is still D'Antoni. Spurs in 6.

[TimDunkem]

LMA and Danny can get the out.

Also, no more relying on old guys. Manu and Tony should strictly be complimentary players at this point in their careers.

[Keepin' it real]

Sit all starters for 2nd half except for LMA. Let him get his groove back

this would be a sensible thing to do - the Spurs obviously have no game plan right now and they need to find something that works for Game 2

[Roxsfan]

Pop will make adjustments. His goal is to see what works for game 2.

[Spur|n|Austin]

They went away from Lamarcus bc he was sucking fiercely but then got worse. If LMA doesn't play well they are done.

At this point Spurs would be better off with LMA not playing.

Pop will make adjustments. His goal is to see what works for game 2.

Gronkowski for Aldridge straight up. Sick of the damn patriots winning every year

[Killakobe81]

STFU, you havent watched Aldridge pussy his way the whole regular season.

Oh i know he is soft check the threads from last (two) summer...i said dude was not a #1 on a legit contender. Lucky for yall Kiwi is . Problem is Lasoftus and Gasoft are even less useful than I thought. At keast Gasol you got on the cheap Aldridge was never truly worth the max...

[TheRemix]

that kind of game... smdh

LMA and Danny can get the out.

Also, no more relying on old guys. Manu and Tony should strictly be complimentary players at this point in their careers.

Blows my ing mind how pop is heavily relying on these guys to score

[spurtech09]

On the real though.....Like the Spurs were going to the Finals......The NBA wants Warriors vs Cavs in the Finals......NBA = Rigged

[Darius Bieber]

[noles1983]

Salary dump that got LMA, trade him for a bag of doritos

[DPG21920]

Danny has got to be a factor this series. He's too important from 3 to shoot so poorly

[timtonymanu]

Who do we get in place of LMA? Not even defending him, he's playing like a birch and has underperformed all year. Just not sure there are better, realistic options out there smh.

Reason why I was never on the LMA bandwagon to begin with. I've seen that disappearing act too much even when he was in Portland. Remember the Golden God erased him completely in the 2014 series.

[Robz4000]

Pop will make adjustments. His goal is to see what works for game 2.

I wouldn't give him that much credit. He's been mailing it in since 2014. Prolly figures its only fair to let Pringles get his shot for a le now.

[SAGirl]

I don't know. They may need to rebuild for a season. In hindsight he should have played Dijon, Bertans and Anderson...

[hitmanyr2k]

[Horse]

Lol if you think the Spurs win this series. Rockets will sweep them easily.

Are you old enough to remember the 2005 finals? After 2 games it looked like a certain sweep like they couldn't play with us. After 4 it looked like we couldn't play with them. It went 7 and we won!

[cjw]

So guys... how many sacks is Taco Charlton gonna get this year? How about DeMarcus?

Demarcus retired so will have as many sacks as Spurs wins this series
