ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/9/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

of course

 

At least one of them should have played

 

When Harden still standing like zombie with ball in hands in last 2 second, I know Harden will choke again. SMH.

 

The Warriors will rip the Spurs 1000 new a-holes tbph.

 

It's sucks though to watch a team play so well for the regular season and then get bounced in the playoffs due to experience (not saying this series is over, though). Then you have to wait another year just to even get back to the playoffs and have the team gain more experience. Ain't nobody got time for that

That's like binge watching a show the day it comes out and then realizing it's another 364 days to have an opportunity to watch again and get excited

 

Frustrating to lose this way. The Rockets crashed and burned in embarrassing fashion. Don't think I've ever seen worse offense at the end of a game.

 

Probably what the NBA hoped for.

 

Lol good regular season comment?

 

A few of the blocking fouls I was ok with. Anderson and Beverly didn't have their feet planted and those tend to be a bit 50/50 anyway.

A couple of the loose ball fouls on the other hand were a bit bogus.

Anyway officiating can't be blamed for the loss. The offense got incredibly stagnant.

Credit to Beverly and especially Capela with his blocks. Those were huge on both ends but unfortunately not enough.

 

Kind of messed up that the Rockets were gassed when the story of the series is supposed to be the Rockets running down the elderly Spurs...

 

**** the Rockets, I hate them. They're probably in the club right sippin breast milk planning on more ways to get James to play more heroball. **** them

 

Our bench is not deep enough to keep everyone rested, and that does matter a little bit. It's also an issue that exhibits some long-term, systematic issues as a team. Popovich can go to the deep end of his bench whenever he wants to adjust to one of our lineups. We don't have a deep bench, nor do we use the bench for matchup purposes, so we are stuck with the same predictable lineups with the same people. In the offseason, we definitely need to find a few minor free agents who can make a difference for matchup purposes in the playoffs and provide rest.

 

**** man, we had it we were up by like five with a minute 20 left and then Danny ****ing green goes off

 

And call him out on his defense. Every man he was put on to guard blew right by him constantly.

 

Thank god the Astros are playing great! 22-11

 

Series isn't over....I originally predicted we win in 7. We wouldn't even be here were it not for Jimmy. BUT,BUT....33 points and all...he didn't have a good game (understatement). It should have never gone to OT but we had NO PLAN, I mean ZERO when we got there. Your game plan is to come down every single possession and dribble the clock down to 3-4 seconds and fire up a 3 ? Wow. We had a chance to do something special. Could have won this on Thursday with Leonard and a bad ankle.

 

*** DMO. He only cared about himself NOT the team. He and his stupid ass agent cost him millions and a chance for a championship. *** DMO.

 

D'Antoni needs to mix it up more in game 6, use more players off the bench to rest players

 

Harden will be choked in some games anyway.

As his words, its just one game,

Still remember his 13 turnovers vs Warriors?
Just like yesterday.

 

This one was always going to the Spurs. Rockets didn't help, but the offensive foul on Harden was BS and I expect Patty Mills to foul out next game with what the refs let him do. That Kawhi foul on Capela was just LOL worthy.

NBA breathed a sigh of relief that the Spurs didn't outsuck the Rockets even with the refs giving them a favorable game.

This ones going 7. Had to.
