Lol at Houston jacking up almost fifty 3's in a playoff game. Got what they deserved.

 

[ViciousDS]

I tuned into OT missed the rest, but why was Leonard not out there literally all of OT?

 

[Tom Penny]

Rockets took two good shots that entire OT..Spurs had plenty just bricking.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

That's y'all's MVP lolz

 

[Jonsoncao]

How serious was Kawhi's injury?

 

[Mory Dunz]

lol at Harden hitching his head back.

Habits huh

Oops, quoted the wrong post

Tweaked his ankle, tried playing through it, but it seems like the staff decided to pull him and save him for the next game rather than make it worse (I hope)

I hope nothing too serious.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Pop is one of the greatest people on Earth.

 

[RedEther]

Lose to the spurs in OT without Kawhi...

Yeah, I don't get how people are saying the only reason the game was close was because Houston was missing. San Antonio got any look they wanted in the 4th + OT. They shot very poorly. Houston did too, but the difference there was the quality of shots they were getting. They were very lucky to make it to overtime.

Also, not surprising but Pop coached circles around D'antoni without his best player.

 

[Anth0ny]

only a true legend gets a perfect clean block on the mvp with the most fouls while taking threes attempting a buzzer beater 3

 

[TTG]

103 fga to the Rockets' 86 and they had 2 more fts too.

 

[Celcius]

That was amazing! Yaaaas!
Although I keep going back and forth between rooting for Houston or San Antonio in this series lol.

 

[LyleLanley]

Go to the offseason thread dude

There's an off season thread?

Sorta in the same camp. Grew up in SA, been in Houston for college the past 6 years. Me being generally annoyed by Harden and Rockets fans the last couple weeks has made my decision easier, though.

 

[Milennia]

Rockets literally died and died again in OT, rest of the game was fun

 

[Line_HTX]

Guess we have to win Game 7.

 

[LyleLanley]

Literally? RIP

 

[neptunes]

I doubt Kawhi plays next game

 

[jobber]

This is something thats going to come as a shock to most people, but Pop doesn't rest players for the hell of it. He rest some players so the rest of the team knows what to do when someone goes down with an injury.

The team knows how to play without Leonard AND Parker. This should be common sense for hardcore NBA fans. If Harden isn't playing in a game, do you think the Rockets know how to play without him?

 

[Milennia]

Literally? RIP

Hardens funeral was a flop only a 39 year old showed up

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I might have missed that angle. But if it's as you describe, and any part of the ball is in the cylinder extending above the rim, it's a goaltend. Doesn't matter if it's 95% on it's way out.

This is on its way out, he waited to tap it back in.

It was a bad call, but ultimately didn't change anything in the end.

 

[Line_HTX]

Yes, they know how to play without him.

 

[Raziel]

Why does D'Antoni bother calling timeouts? They only have one play: shoot a 3.

 

[thehypocrite]

The Chockets.

 

[wordballoons]

Hope Kawhi isn't hurt too bad

 

[LyleLanley]

Is someone making a thread for the lottery?

 

[friskykillface]

Ginobili is god

 

[Trey]

The victory gif we deserve.

The fuck is he doing, morphing into a power ranger?

 

[spyder_ur]

You literally provided photo evidence of it being a goaltend. Being on it's way out does not matter.

Happy for the Spurs though.

It can be played above the rim after first touching the rim, just can't be on it.

 

[Undefined]

that was an insanely good game. No KLeonard though. Without him then rockets will easily advance to next round.

I still believe that Rockets will win this series regardless.

 

[darkwing-buck]

50 year old Ginobli stole Harden's soul lmao

How bad was Kawhi's injury?

 

[DerangedHermit]

This angle from the Ginobli block : https://streamable.com/oph3m <3

That isn't a goal tend. It wasn't on the rim, and was clearly out of the possibility of going in on its own.
But doesn't matter now, Spurs win. On to game 6, and hopefully a game 7 too.

 

[TTG]

Rockets have been the better team 4 out of these 5 games. I mean that as a compliment to San Antonio more than anything else.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I'm still in total shock. Lucky my office at work is soundproof because I went OFF on that Manu block at the end.

 

[jobber]

ya know..after Manu blocked Wade's layup, Wade was never the same player again

 

[perfectchaos007]

I feel like the rockets fan homer simpson.jpg that disappears into the bushes and reemerges as an Astros fan

 

[crazyprac]

Has to be one of the best out of nowhere blocks ever. I remember watching and I'm like where the fuck did he come from. That vertical though.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

INTERESTING

 

[Line_HTX]

No one cares about the statline triple double. It's so meaningless this late into the postseason.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Just highlighting the triple-double from ya lil MVP lol

Bork got a triple double every game

 

[TTG]

lmao Charles with the champagne, priceless reaction.

[darkwing-buck]

Harden should've had 1 more turnover to complete the quadruple double!

 

[Line_HTX]

Goddamnit, killface. Let him go, lmao. It's over.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Holy shit he had 9 turnovers? Jeez thats atrocious
