    The game is being played at our pace but we just aren't playing good enough on d. Ratchet up the intensity on that end and get some stops!

    The spurs big can almost score at will against this lineup. If they can hold the lead late into the game they can slow it down and eat clock. We need to overwhelm them with scoring like we did last game.

    Love the energy. Closing out on shooters, Spurs just hitting shots.

    I like the Rockets chances if they continue to play like they are.

    PLAY HARRELL at the 4! We can't hold their bigs all game. He will be fine in spot minutes and could even bring some energy. Trust your guys Mike

    ok this is just insane. simmons is making left-hand flip shots at super-tough angles when it almost looked like he lost the ball? is he just going to hit every low-percentage shot he takes in this series?

    Just shove him down next time if he doesn't like being held up from falling.

    With the way scrubs go off on us, if we play the Warriors Javale McGee will look like friggin Hakeem.

    They need to start looking at Kawhi and call offensive fouls when he drives baseline. He likes to lower his shoulder
