We finally got our Spurs x Dubs WCF, it only took 3 years.

 

[jmizzal]

How do you lose at home by 40 in an elimination game when the opponent doesn't even have their best player.

And Tony Parker is out, thats embarrassing

 

[Sanjuro]

lmao

i was joking anyway i dont want him back!

When is Frankman's next hearing?

 

[unknownstranger]

Pathetic showing by almost everyone on the Rockets. Shoutout to Ryan Anderson for scoring 0 points on 6 shots.

Weird he plays better on the road.

Mills>current Parker

 

[-tetsuo-]

Playoff Harden finally shows up

 

[Chase17]

So, when's the first WCF game?

Sunday 3:30 EST

 

[TTG]

Yep. Well called. Nerves get the better of me. To be fair this team hasn't shown this much heart lately. I believe we lost the OKC and clippers series last two seasons because of desire not ability. This series and the grizz series was so much heart.

I don't know. Was it game 1 or 2 against the Clippers when they just went to Duncan all 4th(and ot?) and he had an amazing game. Nullifying DJ's athleticism, scoring really well. That's a clear memory of Duncan in a career that's really not so memorable besides the numbers and ringz.

OKC was a juggernaut too. And now there's GSW. Mike Brown shitting the bed, that's something.

 

[Line_HTX]

Told you that ESPN should never have shown that stat this morning on elimination games at home. Last time I watched an elimination game was against Jazz and against Portland, both were Game 7's IIRC.

Ryno needs to be traded get his stupid ass outta town, and we need a fucking real center already. Gordon and Ariza better not show their faces.

 

[DerangedHermit]

Sunday I think. I might have misheard it though.

Sunday 3:30 EST

Thanks. Only 2 days of rest against them Warriors? :|

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Alright, you guys have convinced me. I'm switching my MVP vote to Harden.

As shown in this game, he has earned it.

 

[Sanjuro]

McHale would have never let this happen.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Anyone who voted Pop for COTY is feeling pretty smug right about now

I don't know why. He's kind of a shoe-in at this point. I go into every season assuming Pop is the GOAT.

 

[metalslimer]

Thanks. Only 2 days of rest against them Warriors? :|

Yeah if they can take a game off GS on their own court with a hobbled Kawhi, it would be incredible, but never put anything pass this Spurs team. I just want close games even with a sweep

 

[Marz]

small ball dont work in the playoffs

 

[Man God]

1 and 2 versus 1 and 2...probably happens in Basketball more than other sports.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Warriors/Spurs is going to be a tough series. The Spurs remind me of last years Thunder team. I can see this going seven games. This is the series where they will need Kerr to come back.

 

[Chase17]

1 and 2 versus 1 and 2...probably happens in Basketball more than other sports.

Don't jinx the C's!

 

[TTG]

I just turned it on, maybe half the seats in the front are filled and the Rockets are turning the ball over looking at each other.

Miami is always catching shit, but I don't remember anything like these Houston crowds ever. Even in an elimination playoff game they wander in late. You don't want to play the Spurs in an empty building, it's what they've always wanted anyway with how they treat the media, but it could knock you off your game.

 

[PadWarrior]

small ball dont work in the playoffs

Hampton 5/Death lineup seems to be doing ok.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Stephen A: "If this was Westbrook, he would have probably dropped 60."

Amen.

 

[AliasGreed]

Now to hope Kawhi is 100% against Golden State

 

[Line_HTX]

McHale would have never let this happen.

McHale would never made it to this year's playoffs, and if by some miracle he did, we would've gotten swept by OKC or Golden State in the 1st Round. For real.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

jobber, break out the classic "OWNED" pic.

 

[Lionel Richie]

1 and 2 versus 1 and 2...probably happens in Basketball more than other sports.

I like your confidence on the Celtics. It's pretty much a given Amir will have a great game in one of the games left.

 

[Starphoenix]

Now to hope Kawhi is 100% against Golden State

I dont know. The Spurs played their best game of the post-season (year?) without him. Coincedence? He ain't that good.

 

[Mrbob]

Wonder if Pop will rest Kawhi again on Sunday.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Just got off of work. Can't believe I missed the slaying lmaoooooooo so deserved

obi-wan ginobili! I see you!

 

[Randy Monk]

still think the Spurs take this series

called it. Don't think they have a chance vs the Warriors but as a Spurs fan, I hope I'm wrong.

Gotta play small and be as aggressive as possible,rough up Durant and Green.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Fuck the Spurs. Warriors please go through them in 4.

 

[LyleLanley]

Stephen A: "If this was Westbrook, he would have probably dropped 60."

Amen.

Probably would've lost by 40 too.

 

[teepo]

i would've loved a spurs vs gsw matchup during the previous two years, not so much now.

please prove me wrong pop

 

[Starphoenix]

Hopefully Aldridge can keep this up. I'm not sure what Timmy told him, but whatever it was he seems to be balling now. Performances like tonight are what everyone was hoping to see. Murray, Simmons and Mills have also stepped up. The key next series is going to be the bench play, so I'm a little happy with what I've seen.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Probably would've lost by 40 too.

I think the point is that you get out what you put in.

 

[Bread]

This proves that Harden is the MVP. Look at how his team did when he didn't show up, that just illustrates how amazing he was all year and why I want him leading me in a Game 6 of the playoffs. He cemented his status in the league today.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

man people need to stop insulting the Warriors.
Spurs about to get the Cavs Raptors beat down.
NBA wants Warriors vs Cavs.

Nobody wants to see Spurs vs Cavs. Spurs would win.

If Kerr isn't back, perhaps Pop will get another chance to steal Mike Brown's lunch lol. I think that's the only chance the Spurs beat this Warriors team.

I want to see Spurs v Cavs

I do want to see GSW v Cavs even more though

This is me and this is you seeing eyeball to eyeball.

I think one of us has to settle for merely being the Pope.

i would let Harden be pope, he's earned it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Who's the bigger choker: Harden or Durant?

 

[Tall4Life]

i would let Harden be pope, he's earned it.

Are you trying to deny Hortford his deserved legacy?

 

[spyder_ur]

Your NBA MVP and Coach of the Year. What a joke

Nobody is disrespecting the Warriors. Even us Spurs fans don't think theyll win. We hope they do, and I think they can, but Warriors are the top dog for a reason. We all get that.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Yep. Well called. Nerves get the better of me. To be fair this team hasn't shown this much heart lately. I believe we lost the OKC and clippers series last two seasons because of desire not ability. This series and the grizz series was so much heart.

What is this ? As a spurs fan stop. They lost those series because those teams were better period. What is this hot take desire stuff? Nothing worse then losing and coming up with the nonsense excuses. It was heart, passion, desire , no it was will. No they just lost, just like we are going to lose to the warriors. There just better simple and plain .

 

[Tragicomedy]

Probably would've lost by 40 too.

Unquestionably. The Rockets were a better team then OKC and got demolished this game. OKC got owned by the Spurs the times I caught the matchup.

I just prefer the dude who doesn't quit on his team. Westbrook isn't disappearing like this in a game 6. He's shooting 40 shots, uncontrollably slashing through the lane, and possibly dying on the court. The living embodiment of rage.

Clear eyes, full heart, still lose.

 

[LyleLanley]

Of course no one wants that, they want Spurs vs Celtics.

Lol at you Beantown fools. Just laughable.
