In the last 3 games against the Spurs

Rockets lost by 10...

Rockets lost by 18...

Rockets lost by 31...

In each one of those games the Spurs held at least a 22 point lead at some point in the game...

So explain to me how Rocket's matchup with the Spurs...?

Last time they played at one point the rockets were down almost 40 points...

40...points...

SA's greatest weapon vs the Rockets is the hack strategy. Other than the 31 point game the Rockets were in those games until the hack strategy got them flustered and eventually the dam broke. Also the Rockets did beat SA on Christmas night playing the Spurs way 88-84 and out executed the Spurs down the stretch.

Well obviously the hack strategy works right...that is how they go up 20 and more every game for 3 straight games...

Rockets did beat the Spurs on Christmas but you left out the part where the Spurs missed a ton of open shots...

That is really the only difference in all 4 of the games...in one game the Spurs missed a ton of open shots and in 3 games they didn't and blew the Rockets out of the water...

So I mean hey...good luck banking on the Spurs missing a lot of open shots 4 out of 7 games...:ehh:

Everybody misses open shots. The Rockets have missed their fare share as well. I'm banking on the Rockets playing with playoff intensity.

So, do they scare you? :jbhmm:


And that 2nd round matchup if the Heat get to the 3rd seed, it's like someone doesn't want you to be happy :francis:

Ill be happy if we dont max out DD and Casey is canned...i cant lose this time.

I was told if Demarre Carroll comes back and is healthy were the team to beat @Gil Scott-Heroin

Why would i be concerned when we have a co-signage of that magnitude...

Eh, you're probably going to max out Demar, there's really no alternative that you could get this offseason that would be better.

You're lucky the Knicks were too stupid to trade Melo, yall gonna get a solid pick cause of him.

If we get knocked out the first round THIS year im not convinced we will re sign him...Maybe sign and trade but a first round KO this year will spell major changes...and Casey knows it,you can see it in his post game rants right now...

Amir Johnson was more beloved here than Demar,more than any raptor and Masai was calculated and didnt even tender him an offer...i believe MU is good at keeping his personal feelings out of whats best for the team...

The Pacers are an awful spoiler matchup for almost anyone, and even if you lost I just can't see them letting Demar walk, there's not many teams you could do a S&T with that need him either. Your squad didn't want changes before, they damn sure aren't breaking up a 55-58 win squad.
