Ruptured quadriceps tendon? Sounds horrific.

I keep forgetting we have a playoff thread on tArk I'm on so many different boards/sites when the Spurs are in the playoffs (translation: mostly bitching about shite on ST or PtR ), it's hard to keep it straight.

Great win for Houston in game 1. Solid win for us in game 2. With Tony out, the entire tenor of the series changes. Game 3 should be a Houston win. Not a must-win, but if the Spurs find a way to beat them in Houston our first game without TP, that means Pop has found something very good.

No, I think Houston wins tonight, but the type of win is what's going to matter going forward. If it's another game 1-style blowout, I think this series is over. If it's a close game throughout, we might still have something competitive on our hands.

Gonna be interesting.

I think tonight is a must win for the JJ's. But the wtf game is out of the system hopefully.

If SA wins tonight then it completely negates game 1 and turns game 4 into a must win. I think Parker going out is going to hurt (captain obvious, I know). But Patty is a solid replacement, but who's going to replace Patty? Who's going to be the offense when Claw sits? I really think the Rockets second team can outplay the Spurs enough to be the difference in the game. Lou hasn't been good yet and Splash had a nice 3rd (if I am remembering right) in game 1. If they get hot, watch out.

I am a little worried about our health too. Harden wasn't the same after he took a spill on a layout. I thought it was an ankle, but I think I read hip. Regardless that is going to prevent him from driving or staying in front of his defender. Anderson looks to have reinjured his wrist. Its hard to launch 29' 3s with any accuracy when you got a bum wrist.

I love Mills....he's been better than Parker overall for a couple of years now. Problem with starting him is that he meshes so well with that second unit....you hate to mess that up but Pop may not have a choice unless he is willing to throw his rookie PG in Murray to the wolves.

Harden will be solid, but this game I'm mostly worried about y'all's role players (those guys tend to do better on their home court). Now more than ever it becomes imperative that SA make Harden do almost everything himself. Need to attack him more on defense than we have been doing tbh.

Was the Anderson wrist injury actually bad? I remember him coming right back in after getting heat or cold or something on it on the bench.

It's been nicked up. It doesn't have to be bad to turn a 40% 3 point shooter into a 30% one.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if anything had come out later as to its severity.

It's true. She's told me herself

Gal will stop in the middle of the damn concourse at the game if she hears his voice over a TV. HEB commercials with him in it are "STFU I'm watching this!" affairs for her. It's crazy

Did not expect them to play better in SA than at home. This is such a weird series.

Pretty much our worst offensive performance of the season.

Welp, y'all have played about as well as you can play and about as poorly as you can play through only 3 games this series, so at least you can expect some regression to the mean the rest of the way

I have no idea what to expect from SA now except for Kawhilights.
