    Does Pop in this series ever result to Hack-A-Capela?

    Don't think so, MDA easily can take him out for Nene or/if needed Harrell, or Ryan Anderson.

    I'll be in San Antonio for Game 1! Who else will be going? It will be my second Rockets @ Spurs game this season. I saw the brutal loss on March 6th.

    He actually is when he puts his mind on it. When focused, Harden is actually a very good one on one defender.

    dude do you watch the games?

    harden does good with guys who bang in the post and are big strong types. He gets shitted on and looks flat footed by fast quick types. Harden isn't athletic so he can get blown by but he is strong as hell. if Kawhi is trying to score in the post then harden on him at points makes sense

    you are absolutely correct haha. I do think harden will get switched on him at times down low and we will have to hope he does alright

    Yes, but not so much against "wing" players, more post players, or slow stretch fours like Dirk.

    Awesome. Going to be great to finally play the Spurs again in the postseason. I don't really know what to expect this series, but if the Spurs play the Rockets the way OKC did in Game 2-5, it's going to be hard for us to score efficiently.

    Is that why Westbrook kept driving by him like he was a pylon whenever he got switched on in round 1?

    Man, I don't want to be a doubter, but I have a tough time seeing us realistically come out victorious this series. It's discouraging that we went 1-3 against them this season, and that the win came down to the last minute.

    I miss the 2013-14 season when we owned them.

    What Harden lacks in lateral speed when actually guarding faster wings (as opposed to just plain ball watching) he makes up in intelligent pathing and not biting on feints.

    Rockets have the best odds among all underdogs to win the series.
