ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/1/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

True, but with the Spurs...going up 2-0 and going back to Houston...You DEFINITELY want to win game 3 as well for 3-0. Too many road teams come back and take game 3 after being down 2-0. The Spurs of all teams can definitely do this.

Rockets have bought themselves a golden opportunity here. Tough defense and focus from here on out.

 

LMA was -36 in 25 minutes, how is that even possible?

 

Don't believe it, must be an under the table Barkley deal

 

Rockets are making all their opponents obsolete!

 

Sometimes a 2-0 lead on the road isn't enough:

 

Well put. We will need a big game from Nene. Look for the Spurs to rough up Capela.

 

Very true, but I'm hopeful that if we go 2 up this time, we will be able to pull it off. Go Houston Rockets!

 

True... that's why I said 95% and not 100%.... it's still a good position to be in.

 

Finley was out of bounds.

 

they are 5 times world champions we must show respect to the adversary.........................

 

Welp, ESPNs new narrative is that Kawhi, now, has no help...here's what they choose to ignore.

SA won 61 games, went 7-1 without Kawhi (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/leonaka01/gamelog/2017)
HOU won 55 games, went 1-0 without James (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hardeja01/gamelog/2017)

The help they now claim Kawhi doesn't have is the literal reason that SA finished 6 games ahead of HOU in the final regular season standings.

 

Rockets seem to keep exposing other team's starters, first round: russ got no help...second round: kawhi got no help...bspn really good at what they do

 

The rockets win and look good

The other team had not talent around there star player.

What is this crap.

We get backhanded compliments all the time.

It's so strange how hard it is for certain media outlets to give houston some respects and admit they were wrong about this team.

 

Yep, they sure can bang inside with the big boys, huh?

 

I don't think they really bang the dudes but they are really good at sliding in and out without causing too much friction

 

The glove makes it even better than when harden does it lol.

 

I only caught the game highlights, but it seemed like every other rockets basket was scored on him. He was flailing like a landed fish trying to contest our shots, and failing miserably, he looked slow and late playing defense.
