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

[bksballer89]

Spurs are 8-1 this season versus CLE, GS, WAS, and BOS.

THey might lose but they aint going to be cannon fodder.

And Houston has beaten all those teams as well.

Yeah not sure why everyone thinking Dubs are just going to walk over either of these 2 teams. These are the 3rd and 4th best teams in basketball. Huge step up in competition compared to the Blazers and a banged up Utah team

They definitely will lose. Spurs might steal a game, but they are just cannon fodder. Nobody has a shot at the title outside of GS and CLE. It's why the NBA is so boring right now. Why even have a regular season and playoffs if you already know who will be in the finals?

 

[bksballer89]

I agree with Kenny. Rockets playing 7 guys tonight was ridiculous and it is a quick turnaround. Would not be surprise if the Spurs close them out on Thursday just due to fatigue.

 

[Mecca]

Had no idea I was the same age as Harden

He looks older because of that Taliban beard.

I would walk right passed his ass on the street , and not know who he was, if he shaved.

The Rockets defense isn't that bad actually. Not your typical terrible D'Antoni defensive team. They were a middle of the road defensive team this year. Better than teams like Washington and Cleveland

No

 

[bksballer89]

No

Look at the stats. They had a better defense than those teams in the regular season.

 

[tlance]

Houston will be thinking about the last few minutes of that game all off season if they fail to win this series. That looked like 2015 Harden down the stretch. Terrible offensive basketball.

I was 9 turning 10.

15. Get off my lawn, you whipper snapper.

I'm 11 years older than Ginobli!

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Ginobili is probably going to suddenly retire.

It is cool to know that if this series ends his career, it will happen at home.

Timmy never got the chance to say goodbye on the court losing at OKC last season.

I was really scared that Manu might suffer the same fate in round 2 like TD did.

Idc about stats, I actually watch the games.

Damn, my mothers age lol ... old man

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Kawhi is a man. He'll be ready for Game 6. No doubts.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

You can always count on Harden flopping in big moments. No shock he folded.

 

[trojanfan12]

So if Kawhi is hurt and they somehow win this series that will be ashame. They aint winning anything without him

Spurs got the title in the bag. I hear that if Kawhi can't play, they got permission from the league office to bring in Lavar Ball.

Yep. I can see it going 5-6 vs these guys, while Cleveland probably gets another sweep in the Shiteast

 

[Shanemansj13]

They scored 58 fucking points and were shooting over 50% at halftime.

The offense went to hell once K-Leonard got injured in the 2nd half.

Lose your MVP and likely best player in the entire league.

Are the supposed to be the same offense without Leonard???

They are inconsistent with Kawhi in, especially on the road. Doubt they can compete with the Warriors, not many can though lol. The one thing they have if Lawhi is ok, is a player that can cover KD but if LA cant play like a big more consistently they are toast. He has got to be that 20 and 12 guy EVERY night

They wont sweep the Wiz or C's. I would be surprised if they did
