Seven random takeaways from the Spurs Game 6 beatdown of a gross Rockets team that did not show up:
• In the best chess match of the playoffs, Gregg Popovich outcoached Mike D'Antoni, and outfoxed James Harden in a Mensa-level battle of wits.
Houston's offense didn't wilt in these playoffs. It didn't thrive, either. The Rockets scored 107.2 points per 100 possessions combined against the Thunder and Spurs, about 4.5 points lower than their fantastic regular-season mark. Again, that's not some abysmal collapse against a decent Thunder defense and the Spurs' league-best outfit.
