i still don't understand why they don't just loving waaay overplay the 3line and let the rockets settle for 2s. sure they'll be giving up points, but the game would be 4-5 points closer than it already is and the rockets whole game plan is shooting 3s so it would throw them off.

People shouldn't really freak out at the score. This is the natural result of so many three pointers being shot. The Spurs could easily be winning with shots falling differently. It's tough to say Houston is playing better, the reality is neither team is doing great defensively.

spurs missed a lot of shots that quarter they're not gonna keep missing but if ariza and anderson are hitting their shots that is very very good news for houston

23pt first quarter is actually not that bad for the spurs

1st and 3rd are their worst quarters

situation seems to be stabilizing but the spurs are forcing themselves into the rockets game by going small

spurs don't have the guards to keep that up

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

A lot of their shots that they missed were long 2's, making them doesn't make too much of a difference

The differences in those numbers were so small I'm willing to bet it's noise. Just random variance. And I think making that bet is the way to beat the Rockets. They won't shoot well enough from 28 feet to win a series against the Spurs, they'll have to generate other offense.

Both teams looks good on offense, bad on defense so far

LeMarcus Garbridge. A big who can only shoot midrange shots is so worthless.

It makes exactly 2 points of difference per shot, they aren't worth less because they're inefficient.

If you ranked the best players on the two teams the second Spur would show up like 9th.

You're going to lose getting .5 points per possession no matter how slow the game goes.

Well, I'm glad the Spurs left the first round this year. But holy poo poo, this is not the time to be playing Consistently Bad Spurs Basketball (tm).

So much garbage shooting.
