    Kawhi Leanard is so overrated...dude can barley even dribble...that's why refs let him travel! B-Side player is accurate!

    I was surprised the Spurs switched on PnR with Harden and left their bigs on an island with him. I thought they would double Harden and force him to make tough passes.

    Paging @heypartner

    What was our most ran set. And what did we attack? I remember going 41 PnR and attacking aldridge to start off but I got drunk quick in excitement lol. Both physically and mentally.

    Would appreciate your recap. TIA

    You make valid points, but the 95 Rockets championship Run was really a gauntlet through and through. I think that 95 team made the toughest run all time in my opinion.

    There it is. Skip Bayless saying Kawhi doesn't have enough help on offense.

    How long are they going to persist with the tired Narrative (insert star player) has no help? This Spurs squad is healthy and finished 2nd in league with 60+ wins. Even a blatant contrarian can't make a good argument.

    Ah yes, the team that won 61 games and went 7-0 without him is now fillled with a bunch of useless bums.

    Harden and his gang of role players are just too much for these poor MVP candidates to overcome. You'd swear that Harden was a part of some Big 3 right now.

    They'll say that Kawhi and Pop turned sewer water into the finest of wines. They won 61 games and went 7-0 without him, but poor Kawhi just has no help. :(

    They went through top four records in the league and didn't have home court advantage in any series, faced multiple elimination games in which they often had to come from behind late, and Vernon walked out on the team early. It's definitely my pick for the toughest playoff run ever. Certainly the most dramatic.

    *Rockets beat Jordan, Durant, Chamberlain, Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, and Larry Bird in consecutive series*

    "Harden's got an unfair advantage. Those guys don't have a shooter like Ryan Anderson"

    Don't forget Carl Herrera being injured the entire postseason save for about 2 minutes in Game 4 vs Utah.

    Is he trying to say someone from the #2 team in the West is 1 guy and a bunch of scrubs?
    Names like Aldridge, Gasol, Parker, Ginobli, most are former champs. They are playmakers in themselves.
    Now all of a sudden they are obsolete and just role players for Kawhi Leonard? LOL
    Skip needs to admit they just got OWNED in this game.

    Yesterday was one of the best game ever for the Houston Rockets in a playoff game. No team in the NBA in any decades, century will beat a team that had 30 assists and 22 made on 3pters in a game. Spurs can slice and dice all they want, watch films or have strategy. Spurs could not conquer the Rockets, who had will to drive, to run, to out-shoot them. MJ always said to win games, it is mentality. Rockets have the mentality to press the gas and didn't let off. If you didn't catch the last seconds, Pop gave a thumbs up to Coach D'Antoni.

    A doctor? Maybe, if he/she will let you stick it in them...otherwise I'd aim lower like a waitress or busboy
