Memphis loses by 32 and 26 in San Antonio. Do they even have a chance to win again? I don't think so. Spurs are too good.

 

[Tabascocat]

I thought the Rockets played tonight, was looking forward to see how much they lose by

 

[Joe Realist]

I think Golden State should sit Curry tonight and if they win again, sit him again. He would gave well over 1 week since injury if that happens

 

[Biggems]

Memphis played a helluva game tonight. They really made the Spurs work for that win. I hope this loss will completely demoralize the Grizzlies and they will go into game 4 with a huge sense of hopelessness and despair. I know that won't happen, but I can hope.

The Spurs need to keep their heads in the game on Sunday and close this team out. Then, they get basically 5.5 days of rest before their next game.

I also hope Dallas can steal 1 more, before bowing out to the Thunder. I don't see it happening though.

 

[JoeKing]

Dallas was never going to win that series. I'm surprised they won even one game. The Thunder will be facing the well rested Spurs. This will be a better matchup but I still see the Spurs winning in no more than 5. The Spurs are head and shoulders above the rest of the league except the Warriors. I'm hoping we get a Spurs vs Warriors WCF... that will be a war. And of course the West will conquer the East in the finals.

so when you're on the move and you catch a pass is it your 4th or 5th step that counts as your pivot foot?

If you are durant, Westbrook, harden, lebron, paul, or a member of GS, then yes

 

[Biggems]

On to the 2nd round. Memphis fought hard the last 2 games.....but were clearly outgunned and outmanned.

the Houston Rockets are an embarrassment to the NBA, the city of Houston, their fans , their families and anyone that's ever played a sporting event in their life

They have no heart and the coaching staff is a mess. A bunch of individuals not playing as a team A Harden led team has little to no chance with his type of game.......last year was a fluke to even make it that far. Their role-players only show up on occasion. This team needs to be rebuilt sooner than later IMO.

would you move harden and let howard go elsewhere?
or do you still try with harden?

pretty sure Howard's going to opt out and leave which is fine because he's basically useless. The team needs to be blown the hell up and there's no reason not to, they aren't winning anything with this roster. Bickerstaff has no clue, I mean he has absolutely no clue.

Blow it all up, Howard is as good as gone anyways. Start with a new head coach then try to trade Harden.

 

[JoeKing]

Curry get better soon! I want the best version of the Warriors on the court when the Spurs come to town to whip that golden state behind. No excuses!

And Memphis is too injured.

Like Memphis at full strength is any threat to the mighty Spurs.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

This playoffs will be a bust if Curry isn't healthy. Wanted to see the spurs beat the warriors (not a fan of either team), but without Curry, I don't really care.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Warriors have some padding on the Rockets. It might be in their best interest to lose a few to push back their meeting with the Spurs far enough that Curry is fully healthy.

Gasol/Conley aren't pushovers.

I just call them vacationers, as in... they gone fishing.
