    Kawai commits a TON of fouls defensively that don't get called. He slaps Harden across the arm at least every other play. I never realized how much leeway he got on that side of the court.

    Too short, zero rim protection

    Lou and Gordon coming out looking like professional basketball players has helped immensely. Still need a Bev or Ariza explosion to really put us in a comfortable margin

    Seriously. . . . ..
    If Ariza guarded KAWHI the way Kawhi guards ARIZA . . . .Ariza would foul out in the first half

    I know Pats dealing with a tough situation but it didn't seem like he played a lot until that first half. I guess Dantoni doesn't want to play him a lot this game

    Think about it guys.

    Who's the bigger threat to the warriors? The rockets or Spurs?

    The Rockets with our youth and firepower.

    The league is screaming for another Warriors-Cavs finals.

    It's simple, follow the path of least resistance.

    It's a shame we're fighting not only the Spurs but the refs as well.

    Kawhi has more consistent mental toughness, that's for sure. He is like Ron Artest mixed with Kobe Bryant or some ****.

    However, Kawhi can't see the court or orchestrate tempo the way our guy can.

    We cannot pass up open 3s and finally Ryno figured it out and hit 2 3s.

    Kenny's analysis is r****ded

    He showed the rockets getting to open layups but just missing them ... And saying that was good defense by the Spurs ...

    Could this dude really have had the IQ to play in the league ?

    That's why I put it on mute as soon as the buzzer sounded.

    On the lob Capela missed. The rookie tried to foul him. He reached back and swatted Capela's elbow.... no freaking call.
    What in the flying f?

    Capela keeps being fouled by opponents on alley-oops. Are they not going to call any of them?

    refs gotta understand that this series has to be extended. The NBA loses millions if the Spurs go up 3-1.

    It's funny how the same people who said Harrell needs to add a three point shot or he will be useless because he doesn't rebound or rim protect are now b****ing and moaning for him to get in.
