Well with the number one seed locked up I doubt we see much of the starters in this one.

Go Spurs!!

Yeah, and Houston is still battling Portland for homecourt in the 1st round. Doubt we gonna win this one.

Guess we'll see what Austin Daye and Damien James look like with 35 minutes a game tomorrow.

Sounds like everyone made the trip so I'm guessing the starters play limited minutes in Houston and sit in LA.

No Kawhi, Splitter, Green or Mills tonight.

Starting lineup is Parker, Marco, James, Duncan and Baynes.

Reality kicking in for Daye. Last game and his few minutes this game make him look like a kid with a dream to play in the NBA some day.

what a trainwreck for a finish. If you're gunna get back into the game at least **** try to hold the lead for longer than a minute.

w/e though. Lakers next, dump the bench and look forward to the 1st round.

Watched a lot of Houston this year (Lin fan who sees potential in him) and Harden is not (definitely not) one of the premier guards that people were hailing he was last year. He has the ball in his hands way too much, especially for a team with quite a number of options.

Houston are going nowehere. Spurs and OKC still the teams to beat out West.

I'm not a Harden fan at all but he's basically the best SG in the NBA. So I don't know what your definition of "premier guard" is.

Well, I'm a Harden fan.

There's probably only 3 players in the league that are elite at both ends of the floor. Lebron, Durant, and Paul.
But after that, I put Harden, Blake, and Dwight as the next 3. Harden and Blake has elite offense. Dwight has an elite defense.

You're trying to sell the wrong dude. I know Harden's a great player, I'm just not a fan of his style of play.
