    NBA refs are absolute ****, period. They are so inconsistent with how they call the games, so who knows how they'll call rip through, and - 1 and various other "judgement" calls.

    They definitely need to reassess the constant garbage that Harden, Paul, Crawford and Williams pull from outside. Not sure how they address, but they clearly aren't attempting shots.

        Nobody can explain it but the NBA always calls it. Chris Paul does it and I see other guards catching on to that trick.

        We used to hate players like Karl Malone and John Stockton for doing cheap stuff in games.

        This is becoming the norm in the NBA now

            Remember when they said that they weren't going call that a shooting foul anymore?!?!?

            Spurs need to pick their pride up off the floor, play with some intensity, actually show up on offense and try to do a better job defending the three-point line on Wednesday.

              What can be said about this game? Houston was hitting everything and San Antonio missed some wide open good looks. I don't expect either of those to continue. San Antonio looked very old and tired though. They need more from LMA. He and Gasol should be carving up Ariza/Anderson in the paint.

              Houston essentially employed the same defense they did against OKC. Throw bodies at Leonard and make the others beat you. For OKC it didn't work because Russ' teammates stepped up and played well until Russ left the floor or froze them out. For SA it's worked because no one else really stepped up.

              Harden and Capela both had much better games than last series. I love how Nene was the star last series and against this team it's Capela. Very versatile. Houston also has so many scorers having doubled down on offense instead of nabbing defenders this offseason. So if someone is off, someone else can likely step up and get hot.

                  Aldridge and Lee were a combined 2 for 9, tonight. And I'm almost 100% sure Pop is going to be an idiot and not start Dedmon on Wednesday.

                  He'll probably use that ejection as an excuse not to play or start him until it is too late.
                  I just hope he sees the light and removes either Gasol or Lee from the rotation.

                    Baron Davis is wrong. Aldridge has been awful this year period. He's not tired he's declining.

                    As for the rest of those guys... I bet Kawhi wish he had those RWB dudes claiming his teammate suck for him

                        Is Moreyball still considered a joke or do people love it now?

                        You know, the whole "jacking up 3s and layups mixed with the analytics that a bunch of nerds said was good basketball" label that it got over the years?

                          He finally found the right coach and personnel to run his "concept," although truthfully, D'Antoni or Don Nelson should be credited with at first adapting that philosophy.

                          The emphasis on analytics is a new twist to it, though.

                            Wait til they play the warriors.

                            The rules changes have everything to do with this working right now anyway...

                            Still, i don't consider that fat dude a genius or anything close to it.

                              Completely agree, 23. Sadly, it'll probably stay this way for a good while since people love high scoring, three-point bombing, open floor type of basketball.
                              I do too but I hate all the baiting and bull**** (including Spur players) do in today's game.
