Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I'm enjoying the game from a technical aspect. Seeing how these teams adjust their strategies and line-ups to maximize and create the blow-outs is super interesting to me.

Like the Rockets today went to Ryan Anders at the 5, Harden guarding Pau in the post while helping off the non-shooters, and Ariza rolling more was a great call. Pop going with awful 5 man line-ups and bringing bad defensive players specifically for defensive purposes is head-scratching.

Its very interesting how the teams are adjusting and wrecking each other but the actual games are so brutal. It's very 2005 finals

when the rockets click they're unbelievable

just need to click 2x more

same with the spurs

we'll see how it goes

and note: this is without houston getting to the line on a myriad of bullshit calls so home court won't make too much of a difference, methinks.

its all down to execution, which is interesting but naturally leads to large point discrepancies

if the rockets do everything right they're shooting and hitting a ton of 3s

if the spurs do everything right the rockets are shooting and missing a ton of contested 3s which leads to tons of empty possessions

The Rockets are a really good team and so are the Spurs

It's hard to contest 40 threes a night though and I feel like physical exhaustion is going to take its toll on non robot Spurs and the Rockets will take it in 6

what the gently caress you saying you little bitch? Did you not watch Bobby S. Brown torch the loving Lame Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the Houston Rockets Playoffs? I would expect this from a loving spurs forum but this is the most intelligent sports forum on the internet and we read statistics about basketball. We lean liberal, we like GUNS, aren't racist, aren't afraid to go for the more efficient foul at the end of the game even if playing D is what the the old men did back in the day, and we cheer for the Houston Rockets Bitch
