Series Thread: 2nd Round: Houston Rockets vs San Antonio Spurs

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I have never been more proud of my Spurs in years.
They had no players and no expectations..... but they showed how a team responds.

GIANT FUCKING TEAM can beat the tiny little Warriors and tiny little Cavaliers
They played Sasquatch and stomped on the midgets from Houston this serie

it will be tough, but if Gasol and Aldridge can stay in the game, they can physically overpower the small teams.

That is a tough assignment though with all those superstar wings.

So about that loss in game one proving the Spurs were old and not athletic enough to hang with Houston?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Congrats Spurs, hoping the WCF will be entertaining

Kawhi is OUT tonight. Looks like a 7 game series for sure.

Oops.

Fuck Harden barely shot the ball an entire half. What is this dude doing? You can't pin your hopes on Beverly to carry you. Gotta bring your A game to an elimination game

Derrick Rose is in your avatar, lmao

Fuck it. Rockets in 6.

Parker won't keep doing this and Aldridge will go MIA more than usual. Kawhi can't do it by himself against this offense. Just a gut feeling.

This reminds me of that Spurs series against the Thunder from a few years ago ( really every series against them from the past really ). Extreme Deja Vu. The athleticism may be too much now too.

One of these days I won't be dumb enough to continue to discount the Spurs. I'll gladly accept this L.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

And this might be hard to admit, but the Spurs move the ball alot better when Kawhi's not on the court.

Golden State is going to be a massive pain in the ass because they can play Isolation ball with Durant.

They got the exact same weapons as Houston, but they have a half-court offensive player in KD.

The formula will be the same for San Antonio though....BIG.. BIG.. .and BIGGER....and hope KD sucks.

That is going to be the puzzle for Pop to find a way to stop Kevin Durant isolation.

And Harden continues to shrink in the moment. At least that wasn't a surprise.

Yep. He's going to get destroyed by the national media. Lucky he doesn't play in NY, LA, or Philly

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

One thing for sure...

No one's gonna mistake James Harden for Big Game Bob Horry.

 

[bksballer89]

SAS said he had 5 HOF text him and said Harden quit tonight.....Wow

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Yep. He's going to get destroyed by the national media. Lucky he doesn't play in NY, LA, or Philly

Oh yeah. They like to hate on Philly these days. Even though they don't even watch the Sixers.

They ( ESPN ) watches like 2 teams lol.

Don't give me none of that Harden MVP bullshit ever again. I haven't seen a playoff choke that bad since McNabb wore Eagles green.

 

[tlance]

Worst performance I have ever seen by a franchise star in an elimination game.

I can't remember a worse one either.

Great all around game from Aldridge tonight too. The bastard...

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Don't give me none of that Harden MVP bullshit ever again. I haven't seen a playoff choke that bad since McNabb wore Eagles green.

And yet - he's probably going to win the damn thing.

 

[Iggloo]

No way he wins now. I will bet on it.

The dude practically turtled at half court like a newborn fucking baby!

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Keeping Mills over Joseph has been a win. Spurs just know how to do things.
