Nice showing of Rockets fans at AT&T. I've been here several times now, and I've been unimpressed each time by Spurs fans and the overall experience.
these are the games in which mda needs to clamp down a bit and provide some structure. we can't have bev or lou running around leading to meaningless possessions. draw up plays for eric. let's see what he can do.
My math could be off on this, but I just quickly added up Ariza's numbers. With those four misses in this game, Ariza is shooting 29.3% on 198 3-point attempts so far in 2017. Pathetic...
Man, Ariza needs to get out of this slump soon. He's slowly taking Brewer's spot as the one guy on the floor that defenses don't respect from three, even in the corners. One of Gordon or Williams has to get to at least 15 tonight. We need some bench production right now. Spurs are on their 3rd game in 4 nights. They've had really close games throughout and were just in an OT last game. We need to blitz them coming out of the quarter
We have to have a 3rd quarter just like the first... keep running and the pace has favored our style thus far, that has to continue and our bench needs to step up...
As bad as that second quarter was, I think if anyone told us that the Rockets would have a 7-point lead at halftime, we'd gladly take it. They just need to wake the hell up in this third quarter and start hitting shots.
This is what really bothers me. You cant have Harden on, but Gordon, Lou, Ariza, AND Anderson not contributing. ONE of those other guys has to be on, dammit.
I dont fully fault Ariza. He's the most overused oldest role player in the league in total minutes played. I'm sure Ariza doesnt mind the playing time and trust in him, but 40 minutes of 2-way ball, chasing point guards, guarding the best opposing wings, banging up against PF's as a stretch 4, thats gonna take a toll somewhere
I was thinking what Murph said....why does MDA take Jim out when he's on fire...the heck with the rotation, should have gotten more out of him.
ariza, ryno, gordon, lou, all MIA in 1st half. still winning. if we only get 1 or 2 of them to show up in the second half we will win.
MDA still hasnt learned that you just cant outpace the spurs. They are so damn good. They can play so damned fast and conrtolled if they have to and thats what they are doing cause this game is going back and forth crazy fast.
LMAO Replied to this posts after only reading the first sentence. Yeah, he's bitter. Zero rings in his prime !!!!
