I think we win big tbh. This rockets team with Lou will is different plus Capela is getting back his groove. If we make 15+ threes we will win by 12+
It might be a 3 point shoot out in this Texas two step dance because they actually lead the league in 3pt % believe it or not.Key obviously is to stretch out Gasol and LMA by having Anderson hit his 3's to get them out of the key for Harden to have a clear lane to attack.Lou will need to get back to his scoring ways as well because the Spurs go deep so our bench needs to keep up with theirs. If Ariza can somewhat restrict or limits Kawhi scoring and Harden can attack him on offense and gets him on the back foot we have a chance. I think in the end how we defend LMA is what will decide this game. If he goes off against Ryno we are in trouble.
It seems were cemented into the 3rd seed at this point, so the result really isn't all that important. We just need to show that our defense is consistent. We know what our offensive gameplan is. Meanwhile, our defensive rating has dropped to 14th, so I hope we shore it up in this last month in the regular season. It's the one thing we desperately need to improve on. This game will be a huge test.
We are the Spurs killer that will drop a game or two sporadically. Just bring our A game and we can watch a bona fide game. Spoiler
Keys to win: 1. Get the rebound. 2. Play tough defense, especially 3pt defense. 3. Harden show up why he is Spurs killer.
It depends on Ryno performance and how much rebounds they can grab. Houston can shoot more 2 points. Give more playing time for lou williams. He can improve the shooting performance
This game will come down to the 4th quarter and the last 2 minutes. If the Rockets are losing at this time, the Spurs will hold on. But if they are up by a small margin they will find some way to pull the victory out. The rest of the game will go back and forth with lead changes and possibly even a big lead on one side or the other. Harden will have a good game but not a monster one. Nene, Capela will be the difference.
it will be excellent if we can beat spurs at their home. Other teams will definetely take us more seriously if we beat them by 15+ points
How the fck we supposed to grab rebounds with those two big muthaflippers in the paint!?!? Boxing out will be key tonight
Why in the world is this not a nationally televised game? Now I have to go home and hope the firestick comes through...
