It's easy to play well when you are playing with house money which is why the Spurs is going to the WCF.

Should be a great series

Don't know what that means but the Spurs won because they're a better team. Simple. They are like other teams ...sometimes they come to play and sometimes they don't. But when they do.....

I'll admit I'm just as shocked as any rockets fan. With Parker out, Leonard out, and Aldridge has had knee problems, I was all but positive the rockets would pull this game out.

Looking forward to some rest.

This game/series reinforced 2 things for me, morey can't build a championship contender, and no D'antoni team playing pure offense and mediocre to poor defense will win anything but a ton of regular season games.

No I was pointing out when you have a throw away game it's less pressure so the spurs were able to come out and play loose. For the rockets it was do or die and that's why they played poorly because it was more pressure. If the Spurs had lost tonight they would have had another chance to win the series at home which was why they were playing with house money.

Oh I see. I almost felt sorry for Houston. It just got to where they couldn't buy a basket. Spurs are probably thinking and we could have been on vacation the coming week. Maybhe they can just put Leonard back in the box and save him for when they need him.

I wish that ESPN had the games on sun, mon, tue, and wed and TNT took over on thurs, fri, and sat. Especially since ESPN don't have a post game show after the game is over.

I had a sneaking feeling the Spurs would rally for their wounded and take this one. I certainly didn't expect this huge of a win. I didn't want to jinx them by mentioning it either.

I dropped ESPN Fox sports and TNT. I'm lucky to get the live streaming with great quality. Found a better source than I had been using. Wish the NBA would get rid of that rap crap.
