One game doesn't mean anything. He's no longer starter material.

Agreed, he shouldn't be a starter anymore. Damn, he was a killer tonight, though.

HOF-level performance from the "old man...."

Is this a hot take or a narrative?

Refs need to stop with the reach through crap. Gave Kawhi a couple, Conley a couple.. just need to stop giving shooting fouls on that.

Yeah he's still good for one or two of those games a series. Nice throwback game there from TP.

Should be a fun series vs. The Rockets...they always play us well. We have too many people for Harden to hide on.....we gotta find a way to attack him on the defensive end.

Think I seen a stat on NBATV(I'm going off the head so I could be slightly off)that ya'll won the regular season series against Houston by a combined 10 pts.

But yeah, it should be a fun one. Don't think we'll be seeing as many takes for this series like we did in the 1st round, lol.

Re: 2017 Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Harden is gonna have to show up for every game to beat the Spurs in a series. Maybe that's obvious, but I don't see it any other way.

The last three games for him against OKC were pretty meh. I imagine he shot about 41% in that series. Gotta be alot better.

Green, Simmons & Ginobili being the main one's for him to "hide/rest" on. Nothing you can do with Green - he's too limited to expect to be able to consistently or effectively attack Harden - but I think either Manu or Simmons can take a shot at him.

I hope we see very little of Kyle Anderson, too. Dedmon needs his starting spot back since Capela is mostly in for rebounding, defending and finishing at the rim.

Harden is gonna be flopping like a fish, so it'll fun to see who can bait the refs more between him and Manu. (Of course Ginobili will lose out in that respect since he plays limited minutes.)

I now pledge to stand side by side PPM in his never ending quest to see the San Antonio Spurs organization burned to the ground after seeing David Lee contribute in the elimination of a likable Memphis Grizzlies squad.
