Spurs win game 2

[DarrinS]

Congrats man. My wife and I are trying to tackle debt right now. It's cool to see a success story.

Thanks and good luck to you.

[gambit1990]

harden plays under more control this series i think

harden with only 3 TOs (averaged 6.4 against okc).

he can get his teammates some EASY looks. he needs to understand how valuable that is.

spurs had 19 assists. harden had 14.

[DarrinS]

James Harden still a fat .

You know what -- that dude is deceptively athletic.

[cjw]

Thanks. Paying off my house and have zero debts.

Congrats, well done. Though with where mortgage rates are right now... it should be the last debt anyone pays back. Way cheaper than basically anything else and if you can refi in this market and pay off other debt with equity in your home (CC, student loans) then think about it.

Or alternatively, Pop may be handing out a ten day contract tomorrow to anyone who doesn't lose three point shooters and that should put a dent into debts.

Anything to take our minds off of the game.

[spurs10]

Just tuned in, what'd I miss?

Both teams played hard.........just kidding. A historical beatdown by the Rockets. The 27 point deficit doesn't really tell the story.

[RD2191]

I'm guessing the clutchfans meltdown thread is pretty dead.

[DarrinS]

We took a haymaker tonight. I hope they respond.

"It's only basketball. NASA showed me pics of Uranus."

poop is gay tbh.

[Fireball]

that was epic ... really impressed with Rockets active hands and defensive rebounding ... this makes a huge difference ... not the three pointers they make

[UNT Eagles 2016]

22 threes allowed.....

Thanks man. Plan was 15 years, but did it in 10. Still have enough left over to send my kids to college, which was my first priority.

[Strategic]

It's going to be GS vs HOU, tbh. And GS is going to rape that ass.

If it comes to it, Rockets will shoot 19% behind the arc against the W's.

They played so well -- it's almost hard to be pissed about it.

I have a feeling that they'll suck in game 2, but this loss was pretty demoralizing.

This series is FAR FAR FAR from over.

You guys just came off a grind it out series, where Memphis plays slow ball, and you got blitzed by the Rockets pace. Pop will make adjustments, I see all the rest of these games within 4-8 points.

This series is just starting - still 50/50 for me.

It's over, congrats on the win. Good luck against GSW, you will need it.

Please tell one of your guys to break Durant's ankle in the confrence finals. Thanks. A good consolation for losing.

Hopefully Beverley "accidentally" falls over Donkey's knees.

This was a complete shocker!!

What adjustments? This is about effort & playing smarter. Pop can't go out on the court and give a . I still think the Spurs can and will win this series but the effort tonight isn't going to cut it. All year long they have been relying on Leonard to carry them. Unfortunately, many of the players don't seem to take any accountability. If they don't fix that, they won't win the series.

Aldridge is a complete mystery who lacks fight. Spurs fans have learned the hard way that he assumes the fetal position way too much to make an impact. Danny Green gives interviews in the local press saying "I'm not worried about my offense". Well, his defense isn't good enough to not worry about his offense. He needs to make shots.

[Robz4000]

So what was said in postgame interviews?

Rockets in six

[Darius Bieber]

Alright guys, I've cooled down. No troll post here.

But you cannot expect to win when Trevor ing Ariza scores more than our best player and mother ing Nene scores more than our so-called "second option". This was abysmal.
