This is the game DH returns to playoff form and the Beard does what he's been doing all season long "cook them fools". Blowout win. ROCKETS 114 spuds 99
Should be an easy Rockets win. Anything less than a blowout and I will NOT be impressed. In fact, it'll be disappointing not to blow out these fools who are on a back to back with no SPlitter Oh and remember they have NO superstar but we have 2 superstars and you need superstars to win it all. And coaching doesn't matter So we have no excuses.
C'mon. A blowout in San Antonio? You do realize the Spurs have lost only 3 games since their rodeo road trip and 2 of those were in OT(one of which saw Kyrie go insane for 57). And sure, they're without Tiago and possibly Parker, but we're without D-Mo and Bev, so that evens out. Also, they do have a superstar right now with the way Kawhi is playing. I'll be disappointed if we don't get a split, but there's no shame in losing one of these games with the way the Spurs have been playing lately.
A split means we have to win out to ensure 2nd because I just don't see the Clippers losing any of their remaining games. And I do think we can win out and I'll take the split with that in mind. I believe we stand a better chance tonight than Friday despite playing in SA (esp with no SPlitter and maybe Parker)
I get excited for all the games (and devastated after all the losses), but I haven't been this excited for a game since last year's playoffs. I hope our guys treat it as such.
I don't see the Clippers losing either. Unless Memphis beats them on Saturday which wouldn't exactly be a good thing for us(barring the Grizzlies losing some of their other remaining games). As for the Rockets, they can win every other game aside from the 2 with the Spurs. In fact, they should. Home for New Orleans, at Charlotte(both teams are on a B2B), and back home for Utah. If they can't get those, then they have no business winning their division.
Lets doooo iitttttt! They're going to force everyone not named Harden to score when they go on runs. They won't be able to keep Harden TOO quiet, but the portions of the game when they lock in on him, everyone else is going to need to hit those open shots, attack, move the ball well, and have little to no over-thinking/turnovers. 110% confidence from the Headband Gang
"Stephen A. did i not say that we should wait and see if James Harden would show up againist MY SAN ANTONIO SPURS. Yes the Rockets won the game and James Harden was huge down the stretch. Put need i remind you that 2007 Finals MVP Tony Parker was out due to an injury( gasp) which i dunno may or may not have impacted the flow of that game." Do you agree with that?
Parker is playing horrible the last four games..yet the Spurs still dominated all those games.. I'm pretty much terrified if Rockets don't come out strong..
Splitter and Parker>> DMo and Beverley, and it's not even close That being said, one of their scrubs will go off tonight.
slow down Leonard. Ariza should give him issues. let Dwight and TJones kill them in the paint. jones likes to play Duncan and AD for some reason.
The only time I've seen the rockets lose to the spurs in the past 2 years is the one game this December I went to It was josh smiths 2nd game and we had like 28 turnovers I think. Harden probably turned it over 10 times alone. We looked really sloppy and still barely lost. To me, the rockets have always been to fast paced for the spurs. I think it's a easy win
