[VBM]

Counting down the hours until I can leave the office here in Houston and head to Toyota Center. Too bad Splitter won't be in the lineup, but hopefully James Anderson gets some burn.

[cutewizard]

We are gonna win big time!

Hill, Blair leads the team with RJ.....

and Manu is the smartest player in the NBA>

Was gonna post this, but very cool pic...

Would could have been is what spurs fans are thinking... But 2 out of 3 aint bad. :toast
Hopefully the 3rd guy can be as great as the first two.

[elemento]

this pic makes me depressed

[buttsR4rebounding]

Is the game being televised?

[DBMethos]

this pic makes me depressed

Ditto. But LOL @ Manu :lol

[SenorSpur]

With Splitter out, this opens up 35+ mins for Marcus Cousin. :flag:

They look like they just finished smoking a blunt...

[Hooks]

Scola looks like this dude:

[beachwood]

this pic makes me depressed

kinda makes me want to weep for what might have been...

[8FOR!3]

Is there anybody streaming this game?

[Dex]

It's almost time.....:hungry:

[Blackjack]

I was all pumped thinking this would be on FSN Houston, but then Fox had to go the douche route.

Hoping it's at least on WOAI. It'd be nice to hear B. Scho and his pre and post-game interviews.

[ohmwrecker]

When is tip off?

It will be live on 1200 WOAI.

[MmP]

it's amazing that scola is just a few bits higher than manu

[MarCowMar]

Will this be on the infamously unreliable League Pass Broadband?

[timvp]

Hopefully someone can find a stream for this game.*



















*streams only allowed in preseason

[rayray2k8]

Hmmm.. If this is true, then I'll help find one. :)
I see it available in atdhe.net, so I'll watch there. Didn't know this was gonna be on tv. Thanks. :toast

[ElNono]

Hopefully someone can find a stream for this game.*


*streams only allowed in preseason

Announced here:

We'll see if it works come game time...

[NASpurs]

Hopefully someone can find a stream for this game.*


channelsurfing.net, atdhe.net seem to have it. As the game is in Houston, at least maybe we'll have a Chinese stream if at that. We'll see what happens.

[Ditty]

some guy posted 3 links on clutchfans they closed the thread so look for the thread that's closed

[Indazone]

Scola Thread! Whoooo HOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[DesignatedT]

Glad I get to watch it but not looking forward to listening to the Houston announcers on tv here in college station.

[Ari Gold]

Glad I get to watch it but not looking forward to listening to the Houston announcers on tv here in college station.

If Clyde Drexler is commentating, then you might want to turn your sound off.

[SenorSpur]

7:30pm tip?

Yes.

Yo 80's Billy Ray was the ish!

[bigdog]

Looking forward to this. All I'm really looking for is for everyone to stay healthy, and to see how the backup wings will play. I think Bobby Simmons will make the team, but it will be interesting to see Gee, Neal, and Temple's development, and to see if Kirk Penny can provide some much-needed outside shooting, along with a better look at how James Anderson will fit in with this team. I'd also like to see how Cousin plays. He could be a decent project for the Toros to work with for a couple of years.

Cant wait for this...lets get it going!

[The_Worlds_finest]

Its F'ing On!!!

[Dex]

Preseason is always such a tease.

Every year, I get hyped for these exhibition games as some sort of heralding to the season....then every year I am quickly reminded that these games are rarely televised, hardly contested, and are nothing but glorified practices.

But at least it's some sort of basketball to tide us over until the real season begins...:hungry:

[Leonard Curse]

its a quick fix if your addicted like i am and at this point im going through withdrawl!!

What an obscure reference

ok so I wasn't the only one who thought that

[ace3g]

ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says the team plans to carry less than 15 players this year. Sounds like money is a big reason.

[bigdog]

Hopefully the stream works. I really want to see some Spurs basketball.

[widowmaker]

Is there gonna be a pregame show or is the stearm suppose to go straight to tipoff?

[bigdog]

Is there gonna be a pregame show or is the stearm suppose to go straight to tipoff?

It won't start until tipoff.

[ElNono]

:corn:

[xellos88330]

Why is it every time the Spurs are about to start the season, the clock ticks slower! I am about to break every friggin clock in my house!

[widowmaker]

It won't start until tipoff.

Oh good I thought the feed was boo boo lol. :flag:

[angelbelow]

good news that its actually being televised this year. hopefully i can catch it somehow.

[Don'tCallMeBubbles]

Duncan, Blair, Jefferson. Ginobili and Parker tonight's starting 5.

[duncan228]

I'm just glad to finally see the team. This off-season was too long.

[DesignatedT]

Blair and Duncan starting is pretty sick.

[DesignatedT]

Is the game being shown in S.A?

[bigdog]

Is the game being shown in S.A?

Nope. Only on FSN Houston.

[DesignatedT]

Nope. Only on FSN Houston.

[Hooks]

ATDHE usually doesn't start streaming until the game starts, they always do that with the NFL games...Yall should keep checking back.

Blair is starting aside Duncan! Prolly about 5 more minutes until the game starts.

This is true. Tipoff is always 10-15 minutes after the actual time on the schedule.

[Rito3d30]

be patient
meanwhile watch the BOS vs NETS

[DPG21920]

Does anyone know if Time Warner has a FSN Houston Channel?

[Dex]

Does anyone know if Time Warner has a FSN Houston Channel?

I think only if you are in the Houston broadcast area.

For example, if you are in San Antonio / Austin, you will get Fox Sports SW for whatever Fox Sports channel you receive.

[NASpurs]

robot89 should get all the thanks. I didn't know about this site until I read his post in another thread. :toast

"RJ a little disappointing last season." lol

blair with back to back steals

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tp should have give it back

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is playing great

[Hooks]

Blair is playing VERY well, his defense looks pretty darn good and his weight loss has improved his quickness.

[Manu20]

Blair showing some quick hands

[bigdog]

Blair is very active. Awesome. Overall, I think everyone looks good, so far.

[spectator]

parker got blocked by brooks bigtime

[mexpurs21]

Clyde Drexler says "he was kinda pissed . . . er, he wsa kinda ticked that . . ."
hahahaha :lol

Blair showing great things early.

[DPG21920]

RJ looks quicker, but it does not seem to be helping him on either side of the court. He is mixing it up on the defensive boards though.

[DesignatedT]

Everything looks good. I wonder if Pop is planning on keeping Blair in the starting lineup. I kind of like the look of this.

[Libri]

Blair showing intensity, even if it's the preseason. Got to love that.

[Chachachango]

oh my..........

did u see that girl.

[coco1983]

atdhe.net is working now

[DesignatedT]

with Tony,Manu,Blair,Duncan on the court there isn't much time for RJ to get his hands on the ball. He is rebounding well though.

[ace3g]

atdhe is up now

[spectator]

parker to duncan baby

[DesignatedT]

This could be a great rebounding lineup regardless of the lack of height if RJ crashes the boards like this all season.

[DesignatedT]

what a pass by RJ. nice

[ace3g]

nice save by blair then gets the ball back for the dunk

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am loving blair

[angelbelow]

blair is man handling jordan hill

[Chachachango]

Blairisimo

[NASpurs]

Blair beasting like usual

[DesignatedT]

That continues to be Blairs only weakness in his game.

[Russ]

RJ -- great pass to Blair.

[bigdog]

RJ's shot was off, but nice pass to Blair for the finish. Good to see that.

[ace3g]

Blair with the "floater" attempt

[angelbelow]

LOL far ass floater attempt by blair

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice J, Tony

[DesignatedT]

lol that floater.

[ace3g]

RJ for 3

[DesignatedT]

RJ 3 ball

[angelbelow]

RJ for 3

[bigdog]

3 by RJ. Nice.

[ogait]

Nice RJ not hesitating

[sa_kid20]

There you go RJ for 3

[DPG21920]

Nice, quick release from RJ. No hesitation.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

everyone looks good thus far :tu

[angelbelow]

Hill doesnt look very promising so far

edit- jordan hill that is

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ with a 3333

[DesignatedT]

RJ's shot looks different from last year. Looks like he doesn't put the ball so far back behind his head.

[Chachachango]

is atdhe banned on the ps3?

[Manu20]

already getting annoyed by the Houston announcers..........lol

[benefactor]

ATDHE is up for me. Stream is crappy, but it's better than nothing.

[DesignatedT]

Everyone looks good. Happy to see this.

[DPG21920]

Lets hope RJ gets to the right spots and hits some 3's this year. He looks a lot quicker and hopefully he puts the effort in on defense as well.

I really like the way he is defensive rebounding. Even if he is not grabbing it, he is helping out by being active on the glass.

[JR3]

Blair needs to let that floater come to him. It seemed forced

[timvp]

Man, it's so great that the Spurs are back :smokin

[Rito3d30]

bench their ass and send out the 2nd unit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

benefactor have to try clearing the cookies and restarting chrome? firstrow should work

[DPG21920]

Here comes Lee. I bet he fits well with Houston.

[Libri]

I want to see the new guys.

[duncan228]

ATDHE is up for me. Stream is crappy, but it's better than nothing.

Glad you got it.

[phyzik]

Announcers havnt said anything that annoys me yet, so thats cool.

[dbestpro]

Blair eating everybody's lunch. RJ providing some decent minutes, TP looks fast. Manu and TD look solid.

For a preseason game, not bad

[Spurs Brazil]

It looks like the starting 5 will play the whole 1st quarter

[ace3g]

Simmons and Hill in; oh and Hill isn't a rookie dumbass Rockets announcer

[DPG21920]

Spurs starters playing the vast majority of the 1st

[DesignatedT]

Hill in for Manu

[JR3]

George hill the rookie? Do these guys watch the nba? I KNOW our guys are not this bad...

[bigdog]

Rockets announcers suck.

[ace3g]

nice layup from TP

[Libri]

Parker with a highlight layup!

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG Tony!!!!

[DPG21920]

I like the way "Koozahnnnnn" plays.

[Russ]

ATDHE is up for me. Stream is crappy, but it's better than nothing.

I'm watching the game in HD on a 60" Mitsubishi (although it is the Rockets' broadcast).

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

who's croissant?

[dbestpro]

That shot by TP was crazy.

[ace3g]

Cousins with the tip in

[ace3g]

uh oh, Bonner is in

[dbestpro]

Bonner just cam in. There goes the lead.

[Chachachango]

"has some sand in his pants"//??????????????????????????????

[DesignatedT]

Bonner 3 ball. hell yes

[DPG21920]

It's interesting that Bonner was not the first big off the bench.

[ohmwrecker]

Blair is coming out to get the sand out of his pants.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333

[spurs_2108]

bonner!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Bonner knocks down the 3, lol, announcer just said I know more about the scouting report than the Rockets did, but said Hill was a rookie, lol

[DesignatedT]

good d by bonner. shutin up the critics :lol

[angelbelow]

sorry whose number 1?

[Manu20]

I think Blair wants to secure that starting job....:meeting:

[ohmwrecker]

I didn't know Cousin was pronounced "Koozahn".

[Manu20]

sorry whose number 1?

Simmons

[DesignatedT]

tony looks slim and fast back to his old self.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing well

[ohmwrecker]

sorry whose number 1?

Bobby Simmons

[angelbelow]

Bobby Simmons
