Houstonfan taking regular season games seriously

Spurs in 6

[sook]

Indazone, when did you turn into a nub and why do you pick random times to post and then post stupid ?

You want Melo?

You want Lin to stay on this team but think that Garcia and Casspi are trash?

The rockets have a slim chance at beating the spurs, and you picked a terrible time to gloat. Smh, seriously man. Not only is this classic jinx material, but I wouldn't have expected it from you. If the rockets up its on you breh.

3 wins before the month of February. Non-issue.

What is an issue though, is that your coach is a ing moron and your stars are mentally weak. Combine that with lack of home court and you don't have a chance in .

[Double-Up]

Danny/Ginobili/Kawhi on Harden = 6 games max

Ginobili is washed up, Danny Green LOL, and Kawhi I'll give you him but you guys overrate him like mother er. Pop's system is the only thing keeping your team at the top and even with his coaching there is no way in you get past OKC.

okay if that makes you feel better.. Btw, Gino is about to become 6moy this year and also is first in the league in offensive efficiency since the streak. He also has a +20 PER, higher than Parker

OKC methfan calling Houston a hole? done rotted your brain ...

When Danny Green iant falling for pump fakes, he's actually a good defender. Manu also held his own against Kevin Durant, so I think he can guard Harden.

Green won't be able to guard Harden.. He bites too muh. He's great for smaller players... But I don't want him near Harden or Parsons.. Put him on Lin and out TP on Parsons.

Where did I say I wanted to keep Lin? You need to read brah

TP on Parsons lol just lol

[Leetonidas]

Spurs are going to slap the Rockets, don't kid yourselves into thinking the wins in the regular season mean . Ask the Clippers a couple years ago how that worked out tbh

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

TP on Parsons lol just lol

Parsons is a 3rd option and won't burn Parker on the way to the hole... Don't kid yourself.. Lin burns Parker when they played the last two games.. even though Parker was fatigued like .. it still stands.

^+ they'd be so busy genuflecting at the insistence of Media it'd be over before it really got started. But, let us face it:::aside from OKC every team is gonna take that tact with you, even Miami, they can afford to now.

[thispego]

Maybe I'm missing something, but how does Houston have "0 chance" of beating San Antonio?

Don't get me wrong, I hate the Rockets and would love for us to stomp on them in one last playoff run. But they have Dwight Howard, someone who averaged 17ppg/11rpg/2bpg on over 60% shooting last post-season despite the Spurs nearly triple-teaming him on every possession. Add in a Spurs-killing Harden and a boat load of outside shooters, Houston is a scary ass team in match-up for the Spurs.

I'm genuinely curious on why my fellow Spurs-fans think this Rocket squad will be a walk in the park.

Because they are new fans. Pompous and clueless at the same time.

You're right. Never mind that Kawhi and Manu didn't play respectively in two of the three games, or the fact that the last time we played them was well before we peaked/when Tony was fatigued as , we are going to get swept. We should fear them because they outclass us in every way. Pay no attention to the flaws in their game and our clear coaching superiority... we are doomed.

[ElNono]

Can't wait for Rocketfan to go nuclear on McHale, tbh

[ElNono]

I do think, matchup-wise, the Rockets are our most difficult foe to overcome if we meet them...

Spurs fans who have been around have gained a healthy respect for any playoff opponent, to disregard ANY matchup is folly. New fans don't get this

If they want to get to the promised land, they need to turn on him like they did Matt Schaub.

[Indazone]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, need to get past our first round opponent first.

[Budkin]

Rockets as currently constructed cannot beat the Thunder, and Clippers. However, the matchups in the playoffs look good for now. First round matchup with Portland and if we get past them, it's a second round match up with the Spurs a team that the Rockets have beaten three times now. But then it's either going to be the Thunder or the Clippers and the Rockets cannot get past either team.

As constructed, the team has weaknesses on the bench, guard position and power forward. It would be safe to say that a trade to jettison Lin or Beverly for a premier point guard would really help. Barring that, shoring up the PF position would be very helpful say...Melo.

Three players that Morey must absolutely jettison this off season is Caanan, Garcia, and Casspi. My God the suckage from those three is unbearable. A combined 6-26 against the Nets? I would rather see Covington brought up from the Vipers than to see these three suck this much. A trade with the Knicks giving up Asik, and Lin for Melo would be amazeballs! Lin could go back to be the ball dominating guard playing pick and roll and Asik gets his starting job back. Melo would shore up the Rockets PF position.

Still need a premier guard though. I suppose Beverly is ok and guards are a dime a dozen in the NBA. Getting Melo would line up our Big Three with Howard, Melo and Harden. Now we are talking!

This is not even close to the Spurs team the Rox beat 3 times. Just ask all the other good teams that on the Spurs earlier in the season. No way the Rockets win a 7 game series against us.

Bud, quaking in his booties.

nah the only teams that scare me are the last two that bent us over. OKC and Miami. tbh OKC is my biggest fear. They have pretty much owned us since they went backdoor.

I don't disagree but D12 is a mental midget, Duncan owns his ass, I bet again dude won't take the heat.
If Pop doesn't outthink stuff, he will own McHale then we have Harden who's gonna be an issue on offense but I do expect Spurs offense will expose him badly on the defensive side.

it would be an interesting match up anyway

Yeah just like when the cavs swept the Spurs in the '07 reg season.
