    Curry is 1 of the best shooters of all time, and Gordon is just a pretty good shooter. Gordon also doesn't have Curry's handles, instincts on offense, or creativity.

    Agree 100%. Curry is one of the best pure shooters in the league. BTW, my first post here! Hopefully Rockets can pull out the win tonight. Will be interesting to see how we adjust defensively post Nene and how Anderson plays at the 5

    Clint has come a LONG way on his FT shooting.
    Gotta hand it to him. Gone are the hacking days to send him to the line as a liability.
    He's pretty clutch lately. Way to hone your game big guy!

    Road Ryno on 1 day rest. Best combo you will get. Anderson on b2b percentage sucks and on 2 days percentage sucks. Best percentage is on one day. San Antonio may just about score at will underneath. 3 of bev, ryno, Lou, ariza or harden will need to shoot 40% from distance tonight. That would equal 60% and offset their bigs shooting 50-55%. GO ROX. Burn the cotton

    Can we win twice in SA? Damn, it's a tall order but it has to be done if we are going to win the series. It all starts with Harden & how he controls the pace and if he's aggressive like he was last game attacking the rim, the rest of the team will have to hit 3's at a decent clip because it doesn't look like we be out-rebounding them without Nene. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    Bro i love eric gordon. He is an all star caliber talent

    But STAWHP. Curry will go down in nba history. Nobody can create his own shot from 3 off the dribble like he can.

    Yep, kinda funny how even if his talent is/was questionable, he's already better than Dwight with his baby hooks and fts...

    Seriously???

    Curry is an MVP. There's NO comparison between him and EG. This doesn't make Gordon trash, but to say "give me one reason why Gordon is not as good as Steph Curry"? Come on!!!

    Rockets 113
    Spurs 110

    Harden makes a 3 over Ca-why? at the buzzer

    Interesting. Pop is anticipating our small lineup. They will feed the ball to whoever harden is guarding. We either stay home and the big man scores on harden at will, or we double. And with mills in the game, we can no longer double off of the PG

    Beat me to it! Pops counters MDAs chess move. It would have been more impactful for SA had Mills been inserted in place of either Gasol or LMA (to create more spacing for their offensive sets).

    This is when our bench needs to do what it did to the OKC bench. Patty is their main spark plug in the second unit.
