    Pop owns MDA and he also owns Morey. We have so much data and analytics yet Pop in a few days has already figured us out.

    Pop laughs at Moreyball.

    Two straight games held under 100 after witnessing the Game 1 barrage is so frustrating :mad:

    Dumbass post.

    They have 6 players on their team who are/were all stars at some point.

    We have Anderson and Lou combining for 2 points.

    You weren't saying that when Kawhi had his David Robinson moment.

    Moneyball has nothing to do with Ryan Anderson being total trash.

    Btw Moneyball is started by the Spurs, why do you think they had no mid range scorers prior to Kawhi and LMA? Just one of the dumbest posts I've seen today.

    People should relax. Moreyball is designed for high variance and you just hope you hit on 4 out of 7 before the opponents gets 4. If we had more than 1 superstar we would not be playing like this. Having more than 1 superstar on a team is hard to come by.

    We really do need DMo back. He would have done a better job than Ryan Anderson.

    it's too predictable to stop. especially with this group of players.

    run them off the line and they can't finish around the basket.

    No, they are a better coached team. We have the better shooters, they have the better defensive and offensive plan and their players are far more disciplined.

    Rockets have been exposed as a gimmicky offense

    Lol what does that even mean?

    Here's a game plan - Have the non-Harden Rockets miss every single 3 point shot in the second half.

    You know you're my brah and one of my favorite posters on this board, but from an outsiders perspective, I really don't think the Spurs have the talent advantage in this series.

    the offensive is super predictable..

    harden PnR, drive and kick. rinse & repeat.

    if you run them off the line, they have guys that suck at putting the ball on the floor and finishing around the rim (beverley, ariza, anderson, gordon)

    You can take away 2 of the 3 tent poles of the offense by doing 2 things.

    1. Clogging the lane
    2. The Refs not calling fouls in the lane

    If you can play good stiff defense in the lane .. . not allow any layups without fouling - the Rockets can only shoot threes
    when they off. . . . they fail

    The problem normally is. . . attacking the basket leads to foul calls. . .
    in these last two games. . .we got no foul calls .

    Normally . . you are not allowed to just clog and hang in the lane . .. Pau is able to do that with no calls

    Normally . . if you do clog the lane you are out of position for the rebound. . . that does not matter because Pau can live on Capela and NeNe's back

    So . . . . the issue is
    on the DEFENSIVE END it is the calls that get us in trouble
    on the OFFENSIVE END it is the NO CALLS that f*ck up our offense

    He was 0-4 because Pop adjusted his defense. Anderson's trash when he's forced to dribble. Threadstarter is correct. Pop owns Moreyball it seems MDA maybe getting outcoached

    I like these knee jerk fans, we lose we get owned and we are the laughing stock of the league. Have a bit of pride kids.
