Sometimes the Spurs look like the best team in the league and the non the next possession they look like they don't know what basketball is.

I've been saying this for a long time, it's really weird.

If you asked me to honestly assess the talent of the team I would not know what to tell you. A lot of the players are limited and need a star player to handle the bulk of the work but even when that's done sometimes they look like they don't know how to dribble drive. It's a really confusing team to watch.

that spurs lineup brought relentless energy, attacking the basket like it hosed their mamas

and that kind of energy will wear out the rockets 7 man team

can the spurs keep it up? thats the gear they need. they found it for a moment, but for the final quarter?

go spurs go

If the Rockets lose this game I don't know how they can bounce back. I mean, they're professionals, and they can do it, but my god. I wouldn't wanna bother.

The worst part is that Gasol and Aldridge are supposed to be better than the guys they are lining up across from. But that's what makes them worse. They take too many bad possessions.

Simmons is KILLING the Spurs.

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.
So I guess that thing where the NBA allowed verticality was only a passing phase because they've been back to blowing the whistle again just like they used to the second half of this season.

He got elbowed in the head, and it wasn't a soft hit.

Aldridge looks like a statue, just terrible out there. If there's any movement that he hasn't planned out it takes an actual literal second for him to get going.

Harden slammed his face into an elbow... He didn't get elbowed in the face.

True, but the elbow needs to be up not out for it to not be a foul.
