    That would have been mean except I'm pretty sure the last Spurs fan left like twenty minutes before the game ended.

    I hope this link http://www.espn.com/nba/ doesn't give you a virus like Spurstalk lol...but, ESPN front page, headline is "Cavs rout Raptors" when it's the first game of the day and when the second/last is the best series in the second round...oh yeah, and when the second was a blow up for real...smh.

    The only film the Spurs can study to pull this out is the movie 'Cocoon'.

    The way the Rockets played tonight, they can beat anybody including GS.

    Yes our 3 point shooting was amazing, our ball movement was amazing....

    But what no media show will give the Rockets props for, THE DEFENSE!

    We forced them to play an up tempo game and they fell right into the trap. Then our defense took over as they were not ready to play this style of game. We trapped Leonard on every pick, we forced them to try to play our brand of Basketball.

    Great... great team defensive effort.

    Yep. GS is what they are. But Rockets finally showed us what they can be tonight.

    Every Main Rotation Rocket played great today. I can't remember that happening this season

    In postgame, Parker keeps saying the Rockets shot the ball well. Won't say anything else.

    Translation: Spurs got outworked, outrun, can't guard this team, and can't keep up. So he puts on a brave face and says it's all about hitting the shots.

    Too bad they don't play this well every night. But they can give Golden State a series at least. They won in Oakland once and probably would've a second time if the Rockets hadn't played the night before in Portland, Harden hadn't been nursing a sore wrist, and Anderson hadn't been out with a sprained ankle(although the Warriors were sans Durant to be fair).

    Watching this game was immensely satisfying. I hope our guys don't lean back and take game 2 as well. Keep them down.

    I mean all hope isn't lost for the Spurs. There is still a chance.

    Ariza is very strong today. Houston should grab more rebounds and speed up the pace. Defence more harder
