Computer. I don't use wifi from the computer b/c I can't choose what gets sent and what doesn't. Also, I have to caption it correctly, crop it and tone it as needed. Can't do that in camera.

Harden is not our only scary player. Best player, yes. But Parsons and Lin are more than capable of scoring points in bunches on any given night, and Asik plays great D against Duncan. I think it would be a very entertaining series if it were to happen

If somehow Harden, Lin and Parsons can keep a streak of at least 2 of them having hot streaks each game in the playoffs, theres no limit how far we can go.

That or we need another player to come out of nowhere and start playing out of their mind in the playoffs for 3 or 4 series.

Unfortunately I just don't think we have the consistency to pull that off yet.

I come to a lot of games and really like the Rockets. I know the team makeup pretty well.

I've never seen a team go far in the playoffs without consistent really good play from their non-stars. A single player doesn't get you far. If the Rockets get Asik/Parsons/Smith playing at their peak, they can be scary. Lin doesn't scare me much. Too many turnovers, not enough defense.

If you get to go to the Spurs vs Rockets playoff games, if that comes to fruition in the playoffs, I might have to find you before the game and chloroform your ass and put on a beard and try to pull off being you so I can get on the court.

I had my best game in a while tonight. Maybe when I catch up on editing in a year, I can post them all.

That makes up for the GS stinkbomb...5-2 was the baseline for an acceptable homestand and that's been done. Hopefully we can get back up for Indiana Wednesday.

I'm still completely unimpressed with Thomas Robinson. He has looked completely lost out on the court the two games I have worked with him.

He has flashes of brilliance. Just needs more time. Won't be a significant part of the rotation this year.

He does have a great nose for rebounding the ball, an outstanding motor, and he can put the ball on the floor. Still learning the offense so doesn't see the court very well. Still feel better with him on the court than dmo in certain lineups

I don't feel like he has a great feel for the game. Like when he pulled down a rebound and DeColo came up behind him and pulled the ball out of his hands.

My first ever (and perhaps only) courtside seating game! Spurs fan here so I'm disappointed with the loss (I'm 0-3 when I'm at Toyota Center for Rox vs Spurs, I should stop going...) but a fun back-in-forth game. Spurs are still positioned well to do some serious damaged in the playoffs again, so I'm looking fwd to that. I was impressed with the Spurs support.

Go Spurs Go!

Thomas Robinson just turned 22 a week ago or something. Dude needs some steady play & coaching. I expect he'll play in a summer league and be better next year.

Agreed. I would have said the same about Marcus Morris last year, but this year he found a niche and did a lot better.

Have we decided who we want to win in the GSW/LAL game tonight? Part of me wants to see GSW win, so that we can get the 6th seed. Part of me wants to see LAL lose, so they don't threaten to pass us.

I'm leaning towards cheering for LAL, since we are 3 games ahead of them in the loss column, with 12 games to play, and the 6 seed is so close within reach and it would be huge to get to play DEN, LAC, or MEM rather than SAS or OKC.

Whatever helps us get the 6th seed. i'd guess GS losing.

Then again, Denver lately has been playing out if their minds and can play our style of ball but better. However, we would have tge best player on the court in that game and their depth will be less of an advantage in the playoffs

I've said this before here, but I'll play anyone BUT the Nuggets. We cant freaking beat those guys.

Right now, my ideal matchup would be the Clippers.
Hickory High

Why the Clippers? We couldn't stop Tony Parker, so we definitely can't stop CP3. Plus Griffin would MURDER D-Mo and Robinson.
HotardAg07

Because they are poorly coached compared to the other options and have a porous defense that we could exploit

San Antonio is the best coached team. Hard to best in 7. Thunder would out athlete us everywhere except the 2. No chance we best Denver in 7. We play awful there and its a matchup nightmare. Clippers on the other hand would be tough but beatable. Let the bits get theirs, let Paul take outside shots, and make sure asik cleans up every miss by them.

Just like Bond said earlier, this team is very similar to the Golden State team a few years back that beat Dallas. We probably won't win a series, and we may not be the best coached squad, but our style of play will allow us to compete with anyone on any given night. I would be ok with playing anyone except Denver, for reasons already stated
