Game Thread: Spurs vs Rockets -- Thur. (2/1) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

Why does Pop hate keeping players on the floor when they're in a rhythm, tbh? Same with successful lineups, he's stubborn with his set rotation and minute allocation..

It's not just during the RS, too, he often does it in the playoffs(see: OKC series in 2016)..

Over/Under Game with Murray:

Rebounds: 6.5

Assists: 5.5

Points: 8.5

What do people think for each category?

So over on Rebounds, under on Points/Assists

[tholdren]

Danny Ainge wouldve put up 60s too if was allowed to take 4 steps.

When i played i never felt good if i got an and one that wasnt a foul. These guys think theyre amazing bc they can score when they can travel and all the rules benefit the offense

[NameLess Scrub]

We could definitely use some more offensive talent, considering they beat the Spurs by having Paul and Harden make pull up shots with a hand on their face.

That to top the Spurs' offensive struggles.

[dabom]

Rockets 8 man rotation.

No Kawhi.

[sasaint]

Unfortunately for bb fans of game this is allowed to happen.

Yep. I really only watch the NBA because of the Spurs. But they are a real challenge these days.

[SAGirl]

Lol Bertans

I was rooting for him tbh. didn't show up when it mattered.

[Spurtacular]

Thst hustle play by BP3 made me bank.

$47.90 to be exact.

Tom Landry of the NBA. Stayed too long at the dance.

He seemed to travel on one shot, then wasn't foul on the other. I'd be a little ashamed too knowing I wasn't even touched.

Still, it probably wouldn't have mattered tonight if those plays were called properly.

Hahahahahahaha omg

Elaborate. How can you enjoy cheating to win. I dont understand the superteam, i dont understand the dancing after an uncalled traveling. How is that impressive or skillful

[Robz4000]

Yeah, but not really from your perspective. The Rockets can't be coming out of this feeling that good. The Spurs held them down reasonably well defensively but couldn't make buckets consistently. That won't be the case if Kawhi is playing.

Agreed. Like I said earlier, once I saw it was a TNT game I knew it was a loss regardless of opponent. I strongly believe fully healthy the Spurs beat the Rockets in the postseason.

Pop's become a troll, tbh. Been that way for awhile.

He's bored and we get to "enjoy."

Cuz they need to get over themselves, tbh...

Don't hold your breath.

The times.

[SAGirl]

It's just a bit weird that Pop didn't play Green and Aldridge more. Danny especially should have kept playing when he was in a groove. Seems like he gave up on the game in the third and had to scramble to coach when the bench made it a game again.

Danny could have played more for sure... maybe he was taken out after his tumble? He walked gingerly... I don't know tbh.

[SAGirl]

Spurs played hard. CP3 and Harden took over the game when the Spurs cut the lead to 6. Not much you can do about that.

That is true. The game was lost in the first Q when they scored 14 points and no one outside of Danny showed the appropriate aggression.

"Cheating" or not, those shots were ridiculous as . It's ing annoying, but that's ing talent.

Hate to see it happen against the Spurs, but doesn't diminish the difficulty to execute.

Unless you're a homer-ass , tip the cap - it is what it is.

Its not talent when you use things others are not allowed. The problem is it will keep happening because fans like you will do exactly what you just did and call it skill.
