I don't cheer for either SA or HOU I just like good basketball and the playoffs.

At least you're not an irrational Rockets fan.

Refs had crap calls both ways. Harden sucked in OT, but that's not why we lost. If it wasn't for Harden, we wouldn't have been in that game in the first place.

We lost because for some reason we stopped doing what had been working all game and didn't step on SA's throat when we had the chance.


If it wasn't on Harden then it was because D'Antoni had them running a mind numbingly stupid offense.

Completely plausible by the way...

Choke City loser mentality is my guess.

Pooooor The D. Not sure what game he was watching. There was all of a 2 free throw discrepancy.

We sucked late but it's hard to beat the refs

Seriously guys we can easily blow the **** out of them at home. Wouldn't be surprised with a 20 point win. Then we will get ****ed again by the refs in game 7

Freaking textbook.

And the cojones to go for the block in spite of Harden's propensity to draw calls........simply magnificent.

Imma cry when Manu retires. That's why he's my favorite player ever.

A brief history of James Harden shooting potential game winning shots against the Spurs:

Ballsy by Manu to go for the block there. Got it clean. He knew James had to put it up or would've ended up like Mills in regulation. Great awareness there on his part.

He went for the same thing against Dirk in 06. If only Dirk was an inch shorter.

Bruce successfully did it earlier in that series vs. Dirk to win a game.

A lot of Mav fans still say that was a foul.


Bowen also had a huge block on Melo in the playoffs I will always remember.

Picking a favorite out of Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan feels like a mother picking a favorite child. You love them all in different ways.

But what a ****ing play. He turns 40 in a couple months and he sealed a high stakes playoff game by stuffing the mvp (or runner up)

Harden is such a *****. And that performance does not scream "MVP" to me at all

I know this probably sounds defeatist attitude but I haven't really gotten too high or low with wins and losses in this series. It's been very entertaining and would be nice to win it....

But I have the same feeling I did 2 years ago in the clippers series. Getting to the WCF was our "title" that season and had virtually no shot against the warriors.

Now don't get me wrong I'd love that opportunity and anything can happen (Durant or curry could turn an ankle etc) but With the injuries both san/hou have I think it would be a major stretch for either squad to win more than 1 game against the warriors.

And I think even 1 game would be difficult if some of these poor stretches of basketball both teams have displayed quite a bit in this series.

Agreed. Given current injuries, neither the Spurs or Rockets have much of a chance vs GS.

He had a triple double and played pretty good D on LMA. Ran out of gas at the end, though.

0-4 with 4 turnovers over the last 8 minutes played.

Harden didn't play well down the stretch but at least he didn't sit out with a bo-bo on his ankle

Yes, he shat the bed in OT....but without his triple double and actual decent defense for once we aren't in that game.

I guess choking in the clutch against the Spurs again is better than not playing when you are hurt.

What logic are you using to compare an injury vs level of play?
