Everything will be fine. CIA Pop has them where he wants them. Kawhi is surrounded by young and spry players. Spurs crowd is great.
Yes, we got beat down. Badly. Anally raped with no lube.
Everybody except Kawhi played like and even Leonard wasn't special (which we need him to be).
But this is far from over. We're down 1-0. So what? All it takes is one win in Houston and we're fine.
Show some pride like I know our guys will do in G2.
Spurs in six. the Rockets.

This. Not yet time to panic.
We can win this series if Popovich wakes up, tbh.
True. Let's hope this embarrassment sparked something in Pop.
I agree, but man. We trailed by 40 at one point. A franchise record for halftime deficit was set tonight. So that means we've never been in a worse situation than this.![]()
Here comes the "you're not allowed to criticize 5 time GOAT Coach/ insert scrub spur here"
Meltdowns are part of the territory and the fun here.
Add to that Aldridge will dominate the paint.![]()
Of course critizism is allowed. Pop going with Lee in his S5 was a terrible decision. His in game mangement, imo, was bad as well.
And as I said in the OP, imo everybody played like .
Still no reason to panic/give up yet. Act like somebody.
He got Houston's confidence up and the team thinking why Aldridge is paid too much![]()
This is over, as you said the spurs got anally raped with no lube. I'd be stoked if the Spurs can avoid getting swept tbh. Thats really what the topic of conversation should be about - what adjustments can the Spurs make to possibly win a game
Thats the most lopsided game I've seen in quite some time, and its not even about the margin of victory. Just mismatches all over the court, i have no idea how the Spurs can stop this Rockets team plus as we've seen all season the Spurs offense is just too easy to defend, not explosive enough. The Rockets have some good defenders on their starting lineup and off the bench. Ariza, Beverley, Capela etc...
This series is a wrap
Man, i dont even know how Spurs fans can get mad at that game. It was just sad to watch tbh
Aldridge, Gasol, basically everyone just running around like chicken with their heads cut off, Rockets just ran circles on em
Spurs survived some epic beatdowns from prime Shaq Lakers in 2001/2002 only to take them out in 2003. The nature of sports, things change.
exactly this. Drama queens? Realists, for sure.
i don't remember ever seeing Spurs handled like that in postseason. No coincidence it's our first chance against a semi contender squad without him in playoffs.
And no they're not contenders. Watch what GS does with them.
That game was embarrassing. At home none the less. People can be drama queens all they want. We have to see this team show up in game 2. Easier said than done.
I cant remember the last time i watched a game.like that. 2012 againt the perfect shooting ibaka thunder?
Home teams that lost Game 1 by 25+ points are 0-3 in the series. Spurs don't wake up ASAP this is over.
Pop definitely had our guys looking lost out there
This easily could be a sweep. Actually id give it 90% chance its a sweep or a 5 game loss
Could rockets choke? Sure but its highl unlikely almost impossible. They just got to keep running and chucking 3s and they got this in the bag
The Spurs onthe other hand have to basically transform to a totally different team to have a shot
I'm assuming this is how OKC felt last year after game one in the semis. We looked like we could sweep them, but we didn't.
Lets just hope that the Spurs care enough about turning this series around.
This. I'm actually glad I didn't watch.
Series is over. Tony burned his vintage energy with MEM.
LaMarcus needs 4 games of being bullied to wake up and can't handle double teams.
Kawhi has Kobe-ish numbers.
Pau will trip on his own feet.
I thought refs would win this one, but that won't be necessary.
