In the next series, Leonard reveals he is actually Mr. Fantastic and stretches his arms to defend all Warriors at once.

It turns out the P.O.P. system can make anyone look great*. Including guys who gave up on their dream due to fear of sharks, players cut from a no-LeBron Cavs team, a french guy, and a guy who couldn't shoot in college.



*except Richard Jefferson.

Phantom foul on Kawhi and then not reviewing the call... hmm... fishy.

If the Spurs can not bleed a bunch of points when Murray is in I don't think Parker fundamentally changes the series.

The refs are conspiring against the rockets. first they give a bogus technical to harden while the rockets are down a single digit, now they're giving another bogus technical to beverley. Is a man not entitled to display emotions?

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
James Harden has a lot of points but it still feels like he had a pretty bad game.

he had a good 3rd quarter but the rockets basically lost it in the 1st half by not opening up any kind of lead when the spurs couldn't score

Yeah you're right, if they had gotten anything from anyone else at all that probably would've been a different outcome.

I've seen it with my own eyes, Nene can win a matchup against Pau two or three times a series, but I guess Houston would have to change what they do to take full advantage of that.

the rockets have been having some really uncharacteristic (for this season) droughts in both game 2 and 3. Lou Williams being mia is part of that, but also the Spurs have done a great job taking away easy baskets. Very limited fast break points, the only player who can get a layup is Harden, no one getting 2nd chance points, they aren't committing dumb fouls. Gasol in particular is giving Houston a ton of problems getting to the basket. Houston isn't winning poo poo scoring in the 90s.
