ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 5/9/2017 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

We have to either:

• Beat Pop 3 times in a row
• Or win game 7 on the road

Gonna be tough either way... NEED this game.

#RUNASONE

SPUNK THE SPURZ

Rockets - 129
Spizz - 110

 

this series decides who loses in 5 games to the warriors...

 

Hit 3s and win, don't and lose.

I just reviewed the Game 4 video. One thing is very odd to me. Pop took out his entire starting line up including Mills to start the 4th Qtr. He basically shows the white flag after 3 Qtrs. I understand some people would think that Spurs might not have the chance to win the game 4 even he played all the main guy. But they were only down 15 pts to start the quarter. With the pace Rockets was playing, if we got cold in certain amount of the time, it was not too hard for them to get back into the game, just like beginning of the game when they were down 18.

This is really really odd specially in the playoff, where every game is important. Why he gave up that early? Is he hiding the adjustment he will make for Game 5?

 

It's the old Chuck Norris joke. Who wins between the Rockets and Spurs? ... Warriors

 

Does anyone know if the Torchy's Party Deck at Minute Maid will have the game on during the Astros game? I hope so....

 

Must win. The Rockets don't wanna have to deal with a Game 7 on the road.

 

Time for Arnold to save us

 

I thought you already declared the Rockets to be done in this series. Stop F'ing with the mojo.

 

Yep we need to be able to win one grind it out messy game and will hopefully have one more above average 3 point barrage to win the other.

 

They have to come out aggressive and attack from the start. They are going to get the Spurs best shot, so when the 4th quarter starts and Harden goes to the bench, Lou and Gordon HAVE to step up and keep it close.

 

Probably, he did the same thing in game 1 by conceding after the 1st quarter. Pop is going to give us a different look on Tuesday and we better be ready.

 

Imma watch game 4 and focus on what they'll try to stop.

 

The road warrior Ryno better show up to earn his paycheck otherwise I don't give a crap about how he can stretch the floor and spacing during the regular season.

 

FIRST.

 

A must win game for HOU. They don't want to come to Houston down 3-2

 

What I saw that I liked was more patience on offense. When bev and Gordon got in the paint they didn't throw up the first shot they had. Most of the time they probed the defense and it got the Spurs confused and out of position and it opened up the court for easier looks for either themselves or teammates.

I really think the rockets are finding out who they can really become and how good they can be on both ends.

This team can and should beat the Spurs they have been the better team even though the series is tied.

When we play with pace it gets our shooting going, when Gordon bev and Lou are aggressive with the ball make or miss it gets the team going.

If we win tom night I fully expect a rockets blowout win in game 6.

The Spurs are slowing down from the high they caught from the Parker injury.

It's catching back up to them and the tired legs are here. The rockets are fresh and gaining momentum at the right time.
