what the hell is Tony doing out there?!..
this game should have been over when we were up by double digits in the 3rd..this game should have been over a minute ago when McDyess made the J and then blocked it..
how does this team always manage to do this?..
piss poor execution.

Lowry single handly gets the Rockets back into the game and Adleman decides to put Brooks back out there to handle the ball? Brooks should be coming off the bench. I said it his rookie year, last year and I'm saying it this year. He's fast but he plays out of control.

antonio mcdyess was terrific. this was his best game as a spur so far. one can only hope this will remind Pop that McDyess should be out there playing with Duncan, not Bonner.
I NEED MORE THEO BABY
on the flip side, kyle lowry is an angry midget but i hope this wakes up tony parker to extend his game beyond diving into the paint and falling on the floor. they need to run more ISO plays for jefferson when their playing in that backcourt set otherwise he's a waste of talent
blair had a good game, was surprised to see him get more PT than theo. it's a good problem to have :)

Drexler is way worse. Sean is up there with his homer bias, but Sean is also funny and at least gives other players respect if they play well.

This win would have fit well in the 2004-2005 "run". It seemed like every game they won, there were people saying, "Yeah, but, what an ugly win." I'll take ugly wins over moral victories at every opportunity.
One more thing. Why do Spurs fans insist on having a scapegoat when we win? You guys better enjoy even the shittiest win, because when Duncan retires, it ain't going to be pretty. The apocalypse is near, brothers. Lap it up.

The defensive effort was the most impressive aspect of this game. And Houston played some hardnosed d of their own so that makes the win even more impressive. Why does Jefferson always look like a deer caught in the headlights at the end of tight games? Everytime he touched the ball at the end it looked a catastrophe waiting to happen. I hope those 2 ft's at the end will help his confidence.
Solid D
11-27-2009, 11:32 PM
This wasn't really that bad of a win..we should have won by more, but whatever..the D was dominant, we had control for the majority of the game..
Absolutely right. The D was excellent by lots of guys: Timmy, McDyess, Bogans, Hill, and Blair were standouts.
Offensively, Mason was very good except for a missed layup and bad turnover. Fortunately, the Spurs realized how much the Rockets were defending the perimeter and took the ball into the middle, drew fouls and hit some mid-range shots along the way.
Hill and Bogans are starting to fill the gaping hole left by Bowen against most teams.
bigbendbruisebrother

Duncan, McDyess carry Spurs over Rockets (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2009112710&prov=ap)
By Chris Duncan
Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess recorded double-doubles, Tony Parker had 19 points and seven assists, and the San Antonio Spurs earned their first road win of the season with a 92-84 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday.
Duncan had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and McDyess added 15 points and 14 boards as the Spurs won for the first time in five games away from home.
Luis Scola had 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Trevor Ariza added 17 points and a season-high 11 rebounds for Houston.
The Rockets were doomed by a 7 1/2 -minute scoring drought to start the third quarter and shot 36 percent from the field (33 of 92) for the game. Their point total was a season low.
Still, Houston had a chance to pull it out after Carl Landry grabbed an offensive rebound over Duncan to make it 86-84 with 40.5 seconds left.
Richard Jefferson sank two free throws to stretch the lead to 88-84. Aaron Brooks then missed a 20-footer at the other end, George Hill rebounded and was smacked in the face by Kyle Lowry on the way down.
Hill got up with a bloody nose, but made the resulting free throws with 28 seconds left. He left the court immediately after hitting the second shot, and the Spurs held on from there.
The Spurs went 26 of 34 from the free throw line and beat Houston for the 13th time in the last 19 meetings.
San Antonio missed 10 of its first 14 shots and Houston took the early lead. Ariza and Scola scored all 23 of the Rockets’ first-quarter points on 10-for-17 shooting—the rest of the team went 0-for-7.
Lowry was the third Rocket to score, sinking free throws with 11:06 left in the half to give Houston a 25-19 lead. The Spurs then mounted a quick 12-3 run with five reserves on the floor to take their first lead.
Brooks scored all seven of his first-half points in the last 90 seconds, driving for a layup just before the horn to put the Rockets ahead 46-44 at the break.
The Spurs opened the second half with a 14-0 run as Houston missed its first 16 shots out of halftime. Scola’s jumper from the foul line ended the Rockets’ drought with 4:37 left in the third quarter and cut the Spurs’ lead to 58-48.
The Rockets missed 20 of 24 shots and mustered only 12 points in the third quarter, a season low, to trail 68-58.
The Spurs coughed up six turnovers in the first eight minutes of the final quarter and the Rockets closed the gap to three. Duncan hit a running one-hander and a free throw to put the Spurs ahead 82-76.
Lowry lost the ball on Houston’s next possession and McDyess swished a jumper from the baseline with 1:45 left, prompting fans to head for the exits. Those fans missed the tense final moments, when the Spurs’ offense bogged down and the Rockets made one last rally.
NOTES: Rockets F Shane Battier did not score, ending his streak of games with a 3-pointer at 27. … Duncan recorded his seventh double-double of the season. … Ariza went 4 for 10 from the field in the first quarter, but finished 6-for-21. … Spurs G Manu Ginobili missed his fifth straight game with a strained groin. Coach Gregg Popovich said Ginobili may return for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.

To beat the Rockets, all you have to do is pack the paint. Force the little guys to shoot from outside. If you force Brooks to shoot from outside and Ariza too, then the opposing teams win. IF there are nights that both Brooks and Ariza are hitting their shots, then the defenses have to come out. This is why, you need a bigger front line to slam the ball into the paint and just use size and athleticism to score.

Even the Rockets announcers conceded that we were the more aggressive team.
It's hard to win a lot of games if you shoot from the perimeter mostly and the other team shoots mostly from inside the paint. It's about pct basketball.

Actually, Scola was the only one making shots in the 3rd. I believe he got the first basket after the slump.

ducks, this may be true in general, but it wasn't the case for Scola. He didn't get in trouble with Adelman based on his play on the court. All he did was miss 3 shots in the 3rd and try to guard Tim Duncan. He did nothing wrong, otherwise.

For the sake of not creating another thread, who caught the earful lashing Parker gave out? Was it Timmy? It was late in the 4th I think and Parker just erupted yelling all kinds of shit towards someone. :lol

I thought it was RJ and I was yelling too if he was yelling at RJ ;). I mentioned in the game thread Pop needs to give RJ verbal assaults like he used to give TP cause RJ's best and most aggressive games this season are when Pop ripped into him. Pop didn't do it this game that I saw so it looks like TP did instead.

good point.
I was going to post the same thing. Only taking 5 shots for a 3 and over 36 free throw attempts. For us, I have always harped that we take to many dam 3 point attempts and far to little driving to the basket. I dont think we will see as few 3 point attempts in the f uture, but it sure seemed to make a difference. Agression to the basket always leads to more freethrows and were slowing doing it more.
45 min a position
Jefferson- 1-5 34 min 14 min for backup
Bogans- 0-3 26 min 22 min for backup
Parker- 8-18 36 min 12 min for backup
finley- 2-3 18 min
Mason- 2-4 12 min ( out second quarter with injury)
Hill- 1-4 16 min
Manu- DNP stil injured
On another point, the rotation was something I liked to see this time around.
With dice gettign most of the center minutes and blair and bonner coming in for 10-15 min a piece.
The wing positions is a problem with an overload of players Hill, Fin, Boguns, Jefferson, Mason and Manu. Hill not only being a back up, but also getting time at the 2 too causes even less time for all the others. Im for Mason Starting And using bogans in certain situations. I really wish we didnt have to use Bogans at all. He takes a ton of min away from Hill Manu and Mason. Not to mention fin, who is probably taking the backup min from RJ.
Manu needs to be taking 20 min a game with Masin Hill getting about 15 and 10 for Fin, but I just dont see how to do this with Bogans in the mix.
Giving any of these players 5-8 min a game is a disservice to the team.
any ideas on how to give out minutes to all these players in a way where we dont hurt ourselves? Im feeling lost with it now.

I was able to make it to the game. Got a few pics, but just never got a great angle, Still learning to use the camera so apologies for the lack of quality.
Have to admit, Houston had a great. boisterous crowd with their own version of the bums gettin all rowdy. It was a lot of fun. They had an a couple funny skits and Clutch the bear seized an opportunity with Eva on the kiss cam! LOL
