Except that while OKC lost the lead while he was out, it was still a close game every time, in fact usually they still had a narrow lead. Then when he checked back in, that lead ballooned dramatically to blowout levels right after he came back. And I'm not criticizing the shot amounts (though I really could and should, but that's just not a winnable battle with the zealousness of his fans), it's the meltdown of shot selection. I can always criticize you when you're shooting 21% in the 4th Q. It's not about his taking shots, it's the fact that he's missing them. You wanna take shots? Fine. But make them. And I'm not even here to make this about Westbrook. That was just an example. Go keyboard-warrior on an OKC vid if you wanna talk about that. keep it to the main argument here.
Patty Mills can score, he exploded in the 2016 olympics, as well as the playoffs in '14. Dejounte Murray is also a very capable rookie. Seeing Jaylen Brown get huge minutes in Boston makes me wish the Spurs would give Murray more of a shot. Super talented, he could surprise some people. Spurs in 6 #GoSpursGo
They really need Chris on here full time. It's just a much better show and then there's also a lot less of Shannon's immaturity. With just Skip he just acts more immature. They actually all sound like adults when Chris is on.
Patty Mills couldn't have asked for a better window to prove his worth since he will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. If he can do well enough to get the Spurs past the Rockets and then put up a decent series against GSW, his free agent stock will dramatically increase than if Parker didn't go down! In other words, go get your money Patty because it's there for you to take the rest of this postseason!
Don't sleep on the Spurs tho Ik TP out and he's being Clutch 5 out the 8 Playoff games 2nd option on the Spurs but we still have Mills, Kyle, Manu, Simms, Murray & Kawhi will now have the Ball in his hands more might break out with 8-10 assists per #NextManUp
Even if tony is hurt kawi still has a lot of help ( also without LA ) he had Grep pop patty a shooter Pau very good John Simmons who can play descently and Pop can get anyone become play descently and get a spark
Like I've said before, just like the New England Patriots, the Spurs will always have a shot at winning it all as long as they have Pop as their head coach.
spurs...people let that first game confuse them..the spurs ALWAYS struggle in game one of any series...but that's just them figuring a team out and finding their weaknesses.
Spurs have the ability to be very good but also surprise us with their post season losses, OKC last year, and clippers the previous year, I expect them to win but won't be surprised if they lose the series
I think Aldridge is getting a bad rap. Hes playing well. Some shots arent falling, but he still has it. He will win a couple playoff games where he is why they won.
Plinche Buggy if you think murray is gonna get the spurs past the warriors then you need to look up the definition of stupid and you will see your picture next to it.
If Kawhi is really better than Bron like Skip says, let's see him beat the Rockets without Parker... Let's see how he does vs Golden State short-handed like Bron had to do in 2015... Let's see if he can CARRY the Spurs like Bron has had to do HIS WHOLE CAREER
Bron hasn't had to carry anyone. Only in 2015 did he have to carry the team, and they failed miserably and anyone else would have failed too. Bron has had Wade and Bosh in Miami, and then Love and Irving in Cleveland. Bron has also had a lot of good players. Bron did not carry that Cavs team in 2015,
Houston is going to win. Game 2 dint really go to spurs till late in the third but after that rockets were in their tail with a scoreless harden. Not to mention the way the spurs played yesterday is not the norm for them. Loose balls where going to them they were making crazy contested shots. And they still had a hard time wining till the 4th. Rockets in 6 for sure
Spurs just exposed Hardin's offense. He focuses too much on getting to the line. When you take that away and don't send him to the line, he is done. He constantly throws up garbage looking to get a foul. The refs will watch that last game and get a better look on which calls to make.
It was I, Dio!! who piped your girl Rockets have a better chance. Kawhi can only neutralize one all star. Rockets can just get in a shoot out and try and win that way
@Carlos We've seen it enough times that the Rockets aren't going to beat the Warriors in a shootout. Only way to beat them is to defend and limit their high point totals.
Who will in this series - the Spurs or Rockets?
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 spurs
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Rockets. Go Ravens!! Nobody talking about our defense now but wait til the fall. remember I told you first skip and Shannon haha
Spurs
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Rockets in 6!
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Rockets
"Sometimes you can make your destiny on the very road you took to avoid it." - Shannon Sharpe. Damn thats a sick quote.
Never heard that before since you're not a native English speaker I'm guessing.
Kevin I'm a native and I've still never heard thatb
Fahad Hiraabe same here
It's relatively common to be fair but is still a great quote non the less
what it mean
Lmao whatever happened to the Rockets running away with this series and Harden playing like an MVP??😂😂😂
Momen Khan first round exit lmao
Momen Khan he's "injured" everytime he plays bad 😂
Momen Khan right they always react off moments lol
Lol you are a damn hypocritical fool, overreacting like you accuse others of.
Except that while OKC lost the lead while he was out, it was still a close game every time, in fact usually they still had a narrow lead. Then when he checked back in, that lead ballooned dramatically to blowout levels right after he came back.

keep it to the main argument here.
Haven't watched it yet but I BET theres a 'SKIIIEEEEEEUP' 😂
Have Spurs in 6 but wouldn't be surprised if Houston takes them to 7 & possibly even win this series.
Kevin Love #2016FinalsMVP decisive much
Well which is it? Make up your damn mind.
Kevin Love #2016FinalsMVP did u just agree with ever possible scenario
I agree with your analysis either Houston or Spurs are gonna win this series
Manto lmao..i going for the Texas team going to win..
When everyone isn't yelling at each other this show is so much better
Jonathon Simmons is great his energy makes a big difference?
love how joy isn't constantly interrupting like that clown lady on espn
Molly !
Surprised i havent heard about ray allen game 6 shot saving lebrons legacy, draymond green game 5 suspension. SKKKKIIIIIPPPP!!!
To be fair Draymond was warned multiple times to stop what it is he was doing, and he didn't, and the Warriors were forced to pay the price.
Pop always has the upper hand
spurs in 6 or 7
Adam Leon he always beat dantoni teams to
Parker injury will be the excuse for Skip IF the spurs lose the serie
Jean Carlos Rivera Rodríguez
Even the haters are already saying Spurs are done because Parker is out.
Jean Carlos Rivera Rodríguez ... for the most part it would be true Spurs have nobody beside KL
Jean Carlos Rivera Rodríguez Parker is the second best player this series for the spurs... why wouldn't it be an excuse lol
Jean Carlos Rivera Rodríguez James Harden's injury is an excuse every time he plays bad so what's the difference 😂
Trae 5 😂😂😂😂 damn u peep dat rite wen he doesn't get those fake fouls he plays terrible
SKIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEUUUUPPPPPPP!!
This show was surprisingly objective today oh my God I have never seen this.
Patty Mills can score, he exploded in the 2016 olympics, as well as the playoffs in '14. Dejounte Murray is also a very capable rookie. Seeing Jaylen Brown get huge minutes in Boston makes me wish the Spurs would give Murray more of a shot. Super talented, he could surprise some people. Spurs in 6 #GoSpursGo
Jason Heffner I really hope Pop gives Murray a chance and he runs with it. I definitely see some talent there.
Paula Estwick he did Murray had a groin injury
Well he played last night so idk.
They really need Chris on here full time. It's just a much better show and then there's also a lot less of Shannon's immaturity. With just Skip he just acts more immature. They actually all sound like adults when Chris is on.
Goku 5 It's easy to act immature when the guy across from you sounds like a repetitive, rambling idiot most of the time.
Goku 5 it's his on air persona..skip by himself is boring..it's intentional that they have the contrasting personalities on air.
"Now Lahbraaaahn" #ChrisBrossard
good god Joyce 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
SPURS BASKETBALL ALL DAY NEVER DOUBT IT
Without TP, the Spurs might have a hard time. This series could go to either team.
Remember when Skip said Spurs would have the longest hardest grind to come back into this series?
That was yesterday.
Without Tony Parker, I think the Rockets are gonna take this one. It is also very unlikely that Harden shoots 3-17 again
D Stud it is if Kawhi keeps guarding him
D Stud bro game one Kawhi doesn't guard Harden
Game 2 he takes him and checks him
So yeah I think he'll shoot less than usual and worse
Bruh the Spurs just NEED CP3 man it would be great for the game to see him Chris Paul in San Antonio the way he plays suits the Spurs so much
triggamanful no he don't..
that was a must win game for the spurs advantage Houston
Shannon is really impressive with his overall knowledge of sports, especially basketball. This show keeps getting better.
Joy is so fine😍
Joy overrated.
Molly better.
wildreams boy molly ain't on joy's level of beauty... Jalen been giving molly too many facials
Davy Jones Locker they're together ?
They're equal
Thats terrible man lol
ginobili and mills are super important in this series now.
GIVE BROUSSARD A SHOW
I hope it will be a 7 game series.
Joy > Molly
Patty Mills couldn't have asked for a better window to prove his worth since he will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. If he can do well enough to get the Spurs past the Rockets and then put up a decent series against GSW, his free agent stock will dramatically increase than if Parker didn't go down! In other words, go get your money Patty because it's there for you to take the rest of this postseason!
Spurs in 6, KL is unstoppable right now.... If LA can be his former self.... watch out!
All y'all forget Aldridge's heart condition he just got cleared like a few days before the playoffs started, I don't think he can be 100%
Pleasantly surprised with Shannon Sharpe's basketball knowledge. Pretty impressive!
Both MVP candidates have under performed these playoffs
I still think if they want to win the finals Aldridge has to avg 25+ thats not honna be enough against GSW
Chris Paul you better not miss all the signs that you need ta go to the Spurs lol
same guy the next day said the spurs were done when tony parker went out
Leonard shut down everyone he guarded. 😲
They saw Kawhi coming already. Stop making excuses for LaMarcus
Corey Davis I know right? You didn't think a finals mvp was gonna be good?
AA Goku
Lol good point
Lamrcus LAlldridge should be on the Celtics next year
They should start Dejounte Murray! 6'5 PG could be able to hold his own on defence & leave Mills to continue being the spark off the bench! #GoSpursGo
Rafael Suarez I'm saying the same thing bruh...
Don't sleep on the Spurs tho
Ik TP out and he's being Clutch 5 out the 8 Playoff games 2nd option on the Spurs but we still have Mills, Kyle, Manu, Simms, Murray & Kawhi will now have the Ball in his hands more might break out with 8-10 assists per #NextManUp
LeShannon is great! Great pick-up by Skip.
Wow Skip actually knows what he is talking about when it's not about LeBron.
"[Lemarcus Aldridge] has a good heart". *pause
wonder if skip will still bring on the ray allen thing and if shannon will mention james 🤔
Even if tony is hurt kawi still has a lot of help ( also without LA ) he had Grep pop patty a shooter Pau very good John Simmons who can play descently and Pop can get anyone become play descently and get a spark
Paul George and Chris Paul need to come to San Antonio!
Skip watch is 🔥. Anyone know what watch it is.
Like I've said before, just like the New England Patriots, the Spurs will always have a shot at winning it all as long as they have Pop as their head coach.
With Parker out. It changes everything.
Nobody really addressed who has the upper hand in the series. Thought that was the question.
spurs...people let that first game confuse them..the spurs ALWAYS struggle in game one of any series...but that's just them figuring a team out and finding their weaknesses.
Shannon Sharpe got a suit right today ..and skeeeeuppp looking like the joker FR
dam joy
Chris get your facts straight the run run the rockets made against the clippers was game 6😂
Joy has been looking better and better as of late.
Skip was just panicking last game..
Rockets in 5. They didn't even give effort in the 4th quarter. They kept there energy for the home crowd.
Spurs have the ability to be very good but also surprise us with their post season losses, OKC last year, and clippers the previous year, I expect them to win but won't be surprised if they lose the series
In 2017, Patty Mills is a better player than Tony Parker. I think this actually helps the Spurs.
Kawhi the most efficient player in the league by far. The guy just makes the right decision with the basketball every time.
James Elliott doesnt make him the best. LeBron, KD, Harden, Steph, Kawhi in THAT ORDER
Good heart😶
I still have the Rockets taking this series.
Lamarcus Aldridge is gonna turn into the next Dwight Howard.
Bamboozled + shenanigans = what they're trying dish. It was just over 48hrs ago for the Spurs no it's a different story
I think Aldridge is getting a bad rap. Hes playing well. Some shots arent falling, but he still has it. He will win a couple playoff games where he is why they won.
joy is always on skips side lmfaoo
Get well soon Tony Parker!
#GoSpursGo
how is Aldridge mad he is not the man when you not playing like the man and who cares if you win
4-2 Houston book it!
with parker having that season and possibly career ending surgery the spurs should definitely push for cp3. #GSG
Izak H nahh they should bring back george hill
Izak H we got D. Murray lmao..ya stupid..
Plinche Buggy if you think murray is gonna get the spurs past the warriors then you need to look up the definition of stupid and you will see your picture next to it.
Shannon is the only one who even mentioned that harden is hurt
Dame is a budgeting superstar? Accounting son!
"was it aldridge or dedmon" see thats why he upset now lmao
In January last year, LMA said it was Kawhi's team and he wasn't there to take over, so that argument is not valid.
Harden is the biggest X Factor in this series
Demolish ?!! game one was a demolish
gIiOo 2x rockets beat them by 27
Spurs beat them by 25
Issa demolition bro
"previous network" lol ESPN
Spurs in 7 games
Spurs in 5
I saw Kawhi coming though...
Spurs would've been old n done without kawhi
2 days ago they said the spurs had no chance LOOOL
Molly and Joy need a scene together
Spur have to win 3 games in Houston. They are still down bigtime
TONY! :(
Spurs in 6.
the real question is
Joy
Molly
Kristine
Who ya bois got?
You better go w the Spurs...
Sorry shannon and skip but you're completely wrong. Lmarcus came in knowing it was Kawhi's team as he even said so.
He even said he was happy not being the guy.
4:01 wait what
If Kawhi is really better than Bron like Skip says, let's see him beat the Rockets without Parker... Let's see how he does vs Golden State short-handed like Bron had to do in 2015... Let's see if he can CARRY the Spurs like Bron has had to do HIS WHOLE CAREER
Bron hasn't had to carry anyone. Only in 2015 did he have to carry the team, and they failed miserably and anyone else would have failed too. Bron has had Wade and Bosh in Miami, and then Love and Irving in Cleveland. Bron has also had a lot of good players. Bron did not carry that Cavs team in 2015,

Not to mention the way the spurs played yesterday is not the norm for them. Loose balls where going to them they were making crazy contested shots. And they still had a hard time wining till the 4th. Rockets in 6 for sure
patty Mills can cover for parker
The female didn't make a single comment until the very end. I need a job where i contribute 1 percent and get a paycheck. XD
Spurs STILL in 6, Patty gonna step up
daboycarswell L
daboycarswell W
If the spurs win it'll be in 7.
Joy just sitting there
Spurs just exposed Hardin's offense. He focuses too much on getting to the line. When you take that away and don't send him to the line, he is done. He constantly throws up garbage looking to get a foul. The refs will watch that last game and get a better look on which calls to make.
Spurs or Rockets who have a better chance against the Warriors ?
Who have better chance to shut down KD ?
Bakus Spurs
Bakus rockets & warriors would be the most boring match up ever. both teams just shooting 3s in the transition
It was I, Dio!! who piped your girl Rockets have a better chance. Kawhi can only neutralize one all star. Rockets can just get in a shoot out and try and win that way
Under fair play, no one can entirely shut him down.
@Carlos We've seen it enough times that the Rockets aren't going to beat the Warriors in a shootout. Only way to beat them is to defend and limit their high point totals.
