Who had the better playoff roster, Spurs or Rockets?

Meh, Rox didn't play the same Clips team as we did.

Lol Dallas

No CP3 for two games and a hobbled one after that. Yes, he was hurt in game 7 but those types of injuries get worse once you stop playing for the day (can gut them out that night).

Blake was worn down, Austin Rivers reverted to the mean, and that alone spelled doom.

I still think a healthy Splitter and Spurs win in six, but that ship has sailed.

Where and when one gets the ball completely affects shooting percentage. Players are human too. Porker disrupted the flow big time. Plus you fail to mention his own shooting percentage. Abysmal.

You really did not just evenly compare Porkers series last year vs Dallas and this years bbq?

We had WIDE open looks. We missed a ton of layups at the rim, all the way to Kawhi in the final minutes of game 7. Then CP3 makes a circus shot on one leg. What was Danny's 3pt % for the series? Kawhi? Bobo? Sometimes you just don't have it, or you don't get the breaks you need to get.

And absolutely I compared that series with Dallas. Tony had a below average PER for that entire series until game 7, where he made a rare appearance. The Spurs were also able to close both the Blazers and Thunder without him. He had a down, injured playoffs by his standards (rings a bell?), yet Pop played him as much as needed. You just said you were satisfied with that Pop... but I bet if Manu misses that 3 or Kawhi doesn't make that steal in Game 6 and we lose the OKC series, I'm 99% sure you're no longer satisfied with last season's Pop, and his "strategy". There's a lot of hindsight going on here.

But besides that, if you peg it all on Pop, you're giving Porky a pass. I'm pretty confident in saying Pop didn't tell him to be slow, fat and scared to attack the paint. Players need to bear their own responsibility.

Thank you. FromWayDowntown says it's my cons utional right.
And you're free to manage parties. I still get to visit them, right?!
Let's just leave it at that.

Absolutely, as long you keep bringing those delicious coconut macadamias, there's always a seat reserved for you...

Porker sucked ass wayy more in 2015 then 2014 playoffs.
Plus as you mentioned he was out injured. Plus we were winning games by 20 points so his suckassness in '14 was not as damaging.
Popped is who put him in and left him in.
Plus, prior to the playoffs Pops pep talk to the team to inspire at ude was
We're not going to win without Parker.
