    Ouch good analogy, bad visual but i agree. Case in point the final 3 possessions were sheer idiocy, we won the game on a bit of luck in the Spurs finally missed a few shots ( that Forbes missed 3 was almost as weird as the Harden dunk that was but never was according to the NBA) we cant continue playing that stupid when the game is on the line and as usual Dantoni can’t draw up plays so of course it will ...

    I'm watching this game again. Do you feel like this is a habit of Capela's?

    Can’t wait to see Westbrook’s playing with Gordon. He’s really playing good with Mclemore. He needs more weapons. Him and Faried would’ve been great

    I would argue that the Spurs were the lucky ones at '30 seconds to go' that Harden was not awarded 3 fts that by all accounts would have sealed our victory. Spurs benefited from the on going screw job against beard and the Rockets. This screw up was admitted on the L2m report.

    Is it MDA or beard's fault that this league has not a single ounce of integrity or consistency??

    • Forbes missed 3 was the law of averages playing out
    • Harden's dunk was an NBA screw job
    • Don't see any correlation bt these 2 events

    Not arguing that but the shot choices by Russ and Harden were not the best in terms of preserving he lead and salting away the win. Should have said that but thought it was obvious what I meant. The on going screw job will continue so we’ve got to get used to that as do the players the league isn’t even hiding it in the slightest at this point

    Still can’t believe that was the largest comeback in franchise history

    I hear you. I hope with more games together they can improve on crunch time execution.

    Agree---Sad but true that the screw job is not going away

    I see what you're saying. Like he reverts to that when things aren't quite going his way?

    I liked the way Amare used to dribble once to get to the basket. It was an aggressive one dribble most times. Cap looks like he's just trying to get his body in a slightly better position. Cap is always fun when he's rolling though.

    Stop dreaming Tillman and fire Dantoni. Time to bring in real basketball players that can do more than just stand around and Jack up 3's.

    Bottom line it's a joke that will be eliminated in the first round.
