    Pop doesn’t play star players when he doesn’t care about games.

    Yeah that steal by Anderson at the end was simply a bad look from an effort stand point. Had it been any other year this board would be chock full of threads questioning Harden's heart and effort non-stop.

    Here we go. Now this will be the conversation taking over the sports media. Wish Rockets would've taken care of business. Oh, well.

    Everyone is a bad matchup if Harden plays like Playoff Harden.

    We would have been able to hang: "Western Conference Finals Participant", after getting 4-0'd, in the rafters!

    It's a bad matchup in a sense that their coach dominates ours .

    But , I think we have a huge enough talent advantage to overcome that easily

    we have locked up HCA for the whole playoffs so this is a meaningless game

    MDA wasn't even trying to win he played everyone else 28 minutes or less

    only thing for fans and media to criticize is what the hell was MDA thinking playing harden 36 minutes in this game against a physical spurs team?

    testing how durable harden is? we all just lucky harden didn't get injured or worse got elbowed to the face again

    This, Scott Brooks, Billy Donovan, and Doc Rivers have all beaten Pop in a playoff series. Coaching only gets you so far.

    Our players will get hurt just look like the incident in warriors yesterday. That is why we better not to meet them in the playoff. Even we beat them finally, we cannot have full team in the final due to somebody get hurt

    Spurs are to the Harden Rockets like what the Supersonics are to the Olajuwon Rockets.

    Need to avoid them at all cost. If freaking Dejounte Murray can lock up Harden, a healthy Kawhi Leonard will destroy his legacy.
