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

[myhc]

LOL. We're down 30, on offense, and the god damn "Don't believe me just watch" tune starts playing. Best way to cap off the night.

[KDKSpurs24]

The downside to Dejounte Murray right now.. he only has ONE scoring move.. (a one handed floater)

[mexicanjunior]

Dedmon already had a Technical. He has to be more aware and not be baited

Meh...don't blame him for wanting out of this show...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I hate watching Kyle Anderson play basketball

We could've had Jokic or Jordan Clarkson in that draft

Or Kelly Clarkson, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Again, easily the most de able Spurs roster ever. No heart, coach is more mentally checked out than ever and would rather media talk about Trump. 2nd option is a soft choking . Had Kawhi not had a beatiful season, I would have tuned out this whole year entirely.

[313]

This is over in 5

6?

I'm being optmistic

[bic50]

Aldridge with -36... Worst than the team itself.

Wow

[tmtcsc]

Poop didn't get interview after the 3rd quarter did he?

[kuato]

I miss Boban... never liked Aldridge, to weak at defense.

[Venti Quattro]

Damn, the Rockets are ruthless

[weeks]

they're playing papa roach

[J_Paco]

Same way Houston struggled vs. OKC in round 1, tbh..they made 11 or less 3s in 4 of those 5 games(their record is horrible under those cir stances)..

They need to do a much, much better job of running guys off the three-point line and not leaving guys wide open in the corner(s).

They are feasting on corner three-point shots, TBH.

Can't get killed in transition, in the paint and from outside. That is a losing formula....

LaMarcus & Pau need to not play like complete pussies, Dedmon needs his starting spot back, going small more often with either Leonard or Anderson (ewww) at PF and most of all the players need to play with some pride/intensity.

[Strategic]

Spurs down one game, then series tied.

Down 40 not 30 bruh.

[Darius Bieber]

They don't do coach's interviews if the lead is above 20

[bklynspursfan]

Meh...don't blame him for wanting out of this show...

Me either. But dude wants to play and we need him i think in this series. Just has to think about the big picture

[KDKSpurs24]

Rockets trying to be like the Warriors.....Just shooting 3's lol

Warriors play differently than this. A lot more versatile. Better.

[TimDunkem]

I hate watching Kyle Anderson play basketball

We could've had Jokic or Jordan Clarkson in that draft

SAGirl would still pick Kyle over those two if it came to it.

[noles1983]

Pop should have retired with TD, this crater faced wino.

[cjw]

I miss Boban... never liked Aldridge, to weak at defense.

Boban's biggest weakness was his defense. Aldridge is a much better defender than most give him credit for (though finally getting recognition for it by good basketball writers) but his offense has fallen off a cliff. Thank god he can opt out in a year.

[Ice009]

Dude's just not much of a ball player. He was a big splash in a small pond in Portland.
LMA is clearly WAAAY over his head in a Spurs uniform.

I guess the writing was on the wall when in the introduction interview LA said that he's not coming in here trying to be Tim Duncan or David Robinson, then RC says while having a perplexed look on his face, umm, yeah, that's what we are expecting from you. He just didn't/doesn't have the mentality to dominate. He has a lot of talent, but doesn't seem he has the mental edge required to maximize it or take it to that level.

[John Petrucci]

Never a good sign if Trevor Ariza scored 23 on you

[FkLA]

I don't like our chances of HOU keeps getting wide open threes. Can't depend on a great shooting team to continuously miss wide open shots. They have to guard the three differently.

[bklynspursfan]

Lets hit 90!
