Game Blog: Spurs @ Rockets - March. 12

[CFH]

Dice is still looking good, everyone else meh...

[Horse]

How the fuck do they come out of the locker room like this?

[Ice009]

Tim is not looking good.

He just can't hit shit. He better crank it up NOW.

[Juggity]

Lookin like shit this quarter. 3rd quarters these days are our achilles heel

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow Spurs homerism at its finest if you honestly wouldn't trade Hill for Lee.

They should try to get him in the offseason then.

:lol

If you'd been here more than 5 minutes you'd know I'm anything but a homer.

Hill has been up and down, but we also know he has a high ceiling (see his play last season when Parker was out). I'm content to stick with him as he goes through his growing pains.

Lee is a nice player, but he's not going to improve much over what you see today IMHO.

[Warlord23]

The effects of playing on back to back nights is showing up imo. The Rockets seem a step quicker.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs gone stone cold. Happens nearly aways when the Spurs start super hot

[timtonymanu]

wow the defense is terrible.

[4>0rings]

Droppin' good vibes. hopefully they pull out, drunk as a skunk, go spurs go.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill defense is a joke

[JohnnySixString]

Ah, more of the same ol,same ol from the Spurs.

[benefactor]

I wonder when this team is going to wake up and start playing like a championship team.

[CFH]

Nice of you to show up RJ

[timtonymanu]

Rockets getting everything they want

[CFH]

And tie game

[timtonymanu]

great annoying flopping ass Kevin Martin again.

Hill step up your defense damnit.

[JohnnySixString]

I wonder when this team is going to wake up and start playing like a championship team.

lol



Maybe THIS will be that wakeup game.

[Thomas82]

Awww crap.....they just tied the game.

[Spurologist]

TD's D on that Hayes layup was atrocious

[Libri]

The defense is shit right now.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan is asleep right now.

[Thomas82]

Now they have a lead!!

[100%duncan]

we are gonna win this

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs defense is getting worst game after game

[Warlord23]

The bench will have to pick us up ... the starters seem gassed and out of sorts

[Ice009]

TD you gotta fucking start playing better than this fucking bullshit old man game you're bringing.

[100%duncan]

great move TP

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs looking more and more like Phoenix Suns 2.0 every game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill guarding Dragic in the 2nd quarter, Dragic killed us

Hill guarding Martin in the 3rd, Martin killing us

[benefactor]

Bonner is in...the defense is saved.

[100%duncan]

Parker is Beast!

[CFH]

Parker AND 1!

[timtonymanu]

at least the Spurs are rebounding which they have been struggling with lately.

[Spurologist]

tp stops the bleeding AND1!

[benefactor]

At least they are rebounding.

[Holden_Caulfield]

thank you tp!!

[Warlord23]

TP beasting, the rest of them need to keep the energy level high on defense and rebounding

[Thomas82]

TP missed the and 1!!

[timtonymanu]

Martin beats Hill again.

Hill, do you ever plan on trying?

[Capt Bringdown]

FFS, get Neal in there

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, to start the game and the 2nd half they packed the paint and caused us trouble. The moment we got the 3-bombers in with TP the paint has opened up both times and we look good again.

[100%duncan]

these announcers are fucking horrible

[100%duncan]

wow nice D blair just nice D (sarcasm)

[Ice009]

TP has no confidence in his jumper or free throws and Hill is a straight pussy who loses confidence every second game.

Come on TP I know you can hit those shots, just have confidence in them and take them. You can't make them if you don't take the shot.

[timtonymanu]

Damnit Bonner. We needed that.

[Thomas82]

Take the ball to the basket and draw some fouls PLEASE!!

[Spurologist]

Brad Miller in....time to make a run

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin free throws.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow hill, you are like a joke on defense.

[100%duncan]

goaltend

[gasolina]

please include score when posting

[Ice009]

Start shooting the ball TP.

Fuck George Hill, you take the shots TP.

[Thomas82]

Come on, let's get that lead back to double digits!!

[timtonymanu]

Hill gets his shit stuffed alot. Luckily it was a goaltend.

[Thomas82]

please include score when posting

The score is 73-70 Spurs with 2:41 left in the 3rd.

[gasolina]

score?

[timtonymanu]

Why has Neal only played 3 minutes? Did Dragic give him another concussion or something?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Blair's a 1 for 2 guy..." That's 50%, not 67%, you absurdly douchy homer. :rolleyes

Grizz is a 2 for 3 guy right now.

[Thomas82]

hill gets his shit stuffed alot. Luckily it was a goaltend.

+1

[Warlord23]

After that series against Dallas last year, I'm surprised at how much Hill has regressed

[gasolina]

thanx. am on a laptop and espn gamecast keeps hanging on me.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu will be back after the timeout. I hope he doesn't pick his 4th fouls so he can play aggressive in the 4th

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

please include score when posting

Please go to ESPN (or similar) and watch stat tracker.

[Pauleta14]

Start shooting the ball TP.

Fuck George Hill, you take the shots TP.


I'd rather say "Start making your shots TP"

he's already missed all the shot he took...

[Capt Bringdown]

Why has Neal only played 3 minutes? Did Dragic give him another concussion or something?

9 minutes, right? Anyway, I agree WTF ain't he out there?

[Libri]

Sean saying that there are tons of Spurs fans.

Lazy ass.

[CFH]

Hill AND 1!

[100%duncan]

I want to take a shit on the announcers faces

[gasolina]

i'd rather monitor the game here!
i love it when you guys curse!!!!:lol:lol:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, the short minutes for Neal are inexplicable.

[timtonymanu]

That was good, Drexler. You blind motherfucker.

God I hate this guy.

[Thomas82]

Good job Hill!!

[Juggity]

George Hill with that three point play

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice one Hill

FUCK YOU DREXLER

[Cessation]

drexler sounds butthurt after tha hill and 1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Apparently Clyde doesn't understand the continuation rule. :rolleyes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

As I said, these guys are as bad as the Sacto fucktards.

[Thomas82]

Good job Blair!!

[100%duncan]

NEAL with it!

[CFH]

Neal 33333333333333

[Holden_Caulfield]

keep miller on the floor please.

[Spurologist]

Nnnneeeeaaalllllllll 33333333333333333

[Juggity]

Neal with that, Rockets

[benefactor]

Neal comes back in the game and....bang.

[Warlord23]

Thank God for Neal

[timtonymanu]

Gary Neal... fuckin clutch.

[Thomas82]

Neeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllllllll 333333333!!!

[100%duncan]

neal is lucky trade deadline passed

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

There's Neal. About time he was out there!

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 3333333333333333333333333333333

[Spurologist]

Hill's D has been garbage all game long

[timtonymanu]

wow Hill isn't even a average defender anymore. He's just terrible now.

[Juggity]

BULLSHIT shot

[Libri]

Shit!

[benefactor]

You've gotta be kidding me.

[100%duncan]

lucky shot, fuck the commentators, fuck luck, fuck you all rockets, spurs will win this game

[CFH]

Are you fuckin' serious? Goddammit...

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin lucky ass shot. Fuck you Lowry.

[itzsoweezee]

bonner giving the wide open three to miller

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neal is making hill more expandable each game.

[duncan228]

Ugh.

[Ice009]

That's twice Gary Neal has hit a three and twice that Brad Miller is left open straight after and hits a three and then twice Gary has taken a shot after the Miller three and missed.

[Spurologist]

From up 7 to down 1 to end the quarter

fuck me

[timtonymanu]

Spurs, pick your fuckin effort up in the 4th. Quit being lazy.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs aren't looking like the league's best, very mediocre, 2 nights in a row

[Cessation]

wow i hate this rocket scrub team, along with that annoying king scrub, "you touch me its foul" martin

[Ice009]

Fucking pathetic spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

[benefactor]

Can't Start Threads

[Pero]

I don't why you guys are complaining, I'm really enjoying this game. It'd be boring if it weren't so close. :lol

[ffadicted]

Sup guys, just doing a regular forum survey here on how everyone is watching this game... PM me your answers.....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am not gonna lie but Neal is making Hill looks more and more expandable each game.

[Juggity]

parker is a ball hog

As a lakerfan you must be quite familiar with ball hogging :)

[Pauleta14]

Why didn't Tony wait for the buzzer???!!!!

He alternates the best and the worst, it's crazy...:bang

[Warlord23]

Went from +11 in Q1 to -1 in Q2 to -11 in Q3.

They just don't have the legs on a back to back to compete for 4 quarters

[Thomas82]

From up 7 to down 1 to end the quarter

fuck me

Yeah, how the hell did that happen!!??!!

[roycrikside]

Parker had six assists in the first when the Spurs were up big and 0 since. He stopped passing and is just looking for his shot every time, usually a crap long two. It would be nice if we had some ball movement.

[Bill_Brasky]

Weak shit again tonight along with the Rockets making every fucking shot they take......that buzzer beater was the luckiest bullshit ever.

[benefactor]

Neal is just a better fit...plus he has huge balls. Hill needs to be traded in the offseason for a true SF.

[moisaenz]

Blair too agressive

[Ice009]

I'd rather say "Start making your shots TP"

he's already missed all the shot he took...

I'd rather Tony shoot the ball than George Hill cause I know Tony can make his if he gets a bit of a rhythm going. TP is a good shooter, but he needs that shooters confidence and I think he'd be more consistent.

George Hill just loses confidence in EVERYTHING nearly every second or third game. Not happy with Hill at all.

[100%duncan]

great penetration

[benefactor]

Bonner with the trademark "stand and watch" defense.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs outscored in 2 & 3 quarters. 33 points given away to the lowly Rockets.
I guess it's too early for the Spurs to start getting into playoff form...

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill played 9 minutes in the 3rd and the Rockets scored 33 pts in the 3rd

[Creation88]

fucking pathetic right now. no defense and no ball movement.

[100%duncan]

why can't bonner play like buddinger and why is Novak on the floor

[moisaenz]

Hope defense appears....

[CFH]

Steve Novak in? Why?

[benefactor]

Novak in. It's on bitches.

[Chomag]

Wait, Novak over Splitter? lol?

[100%duncan]

patterson has been so annoying, and suck cock drexler

[Horse]

I have never seen a Spurs team give up as many layups as they have this season.

[benefactor]

Patterson is a goaltending machine.

[timtonymanu]

Hill gets stuffed again. And he got bailed out.

[CFH]

Damn Hill misses the free throw

[moisaenz]

Hill missing free throws,,,

[timtonymanu]

Good job Hill. You're really making a good case for yourself right now.

[100%duncan]

blair got lucky he got fouled

[100%duncan]

yeah shoot the damn free throws

[Ice009]

How come Hill is always getting his shot blocked inside?

Wow Hill missed the free throw. The guy is a midget on the road.

STEP UP GEORGE. FUCKING FIND SOME CONFIDENCE

[100%duncan]

FUCKING lucky lowry, fuck that midget, fuck you

[ffadicted]

Damn, what happened to last year's playoff Hill

[timtonymanu]

Damnit

[Creation88]

get in the fucking paint. fucking easy basket

[benefactor]

Can anyone defend on the perimeter?

[Spurologist]

when we finally play great D, we give up and and1 at the end of the shot clock

:pctoss

[Juggity]

Fuckin' terrible. Can these announcers be any worse?

[100%duncan]

where the fuck is duncan

[ducks]

i am not gonna lie but Neal is making Hill looks more and more expandable each game.

hill will be on the block this offseason unless he steps up in playoffs big time

enough said

[100%duncan]

Manu is clutch you son of a bitches

[moisaenz]

Ginobili..is still around

[100%duncan]

Neallllllllllll wiiiit it brotha

[Libri]

Neal to the rescue.

[moisaenz]

Neal is clutch...

[Spurologist]

Neal should probably be the 1st player off the bench now

[timtonymanu]

Take Hill out and go with Parker Neal Manu Duncan McDyess

[ducks]

Neal>>>>>>hill

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol Rockets. Novak is in and they're not going to Budinger every play!?

[100%duncan]

we are gonna win this skill>>>>>>>>>>luck

[Juggity]

Every single time we're in a tough spot, Neal bails our asses out shot by shot. This guy is worth so much more than we're paying for him.

[Capt Bringdown]

Man called Neal

[Spurs Brazil]

good play Neal

Put TD back, we need defense now

[Ice009]

Novak could be in because Pop has finally released Bonner is useless. He can't hit a shot or do anything else when he is played tight. Novak has a quicker release too.

Could it be Bonner has gone to the doghouse. I'd love it.

[Spurologist]

Patterson is a goaltending machine.

he'd must be a great player in nba jam

[100%duncan]

we gotta go dice,td,tp,manu,neal the rest of the game

[100%duncan]

Fucking sloppy fucking basketball

[CFH]

Wow...

[ffadicted]

.............. no comment

[moisaenz]

Neal plays better defense

[benefactor]

Good lord.

[100%duncan]

fuck that dragic

[Technique]

Every single time we're in a tough spot, Neal bails our asses out shot by shot. This guy is worth so much more than we're paying for him.

Not really a good way to look at it. It's thanks to the Spurs he's even in the NBA right now. He's still proving himself to be a good player and so far he's a great asset.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Of course they had to bring that up... :rolleyes

They always omit the fact that DRob was playing Hakeem straight, while DRob was being doubled because he had such a poor supporting cast.

[Spurologist]

horrible back pass by Neal to manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Of course they had to bring that up... :rolleyes

They always omit the fact that DRob was playing Hakeem straight, while DRob was being doubled because he had such a poor supporting cast.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn Neal and the FUCKING STUPID HILL

[itzsoweezee]

Dragic just fouled two Spurs on that "steal"

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

W.t.f.

[100%duncan]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssssss

[Spurologist]

mmmmmaaaaannnnnuuuuuuu 333333333333333

[Ice009]

Fucking george shit hill


shit hill.

[Juggity]

Ginobili

[ffadicted]

Gino clutch as fuck

And omg so many fucking fouls come on

[timtonymanu]

Circus shots from the Rockets everywhere. Unbelievable.

[Warlord23]

What a bullshit call

[Supergirl]

Spurs just cannot put the Rockets away...

[benefactor]

Where was the foul?

[100%duncan]

I hate martin's shooting stance

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In case you hadn't noticed, this game is all about lineup experimentation by Pop. He's playing around at this point.

[Horse]

We can't let these fucking lowlife teams hang around on the road cause it give the refs a chance to fuck us like we're seeing now.

[Thomas82]

Time to bring TD and Dice back in!!

[100%duncan]

And 1 bitches!

[CFH]

Hill AND 1!

[ace3g]

jeez how many and 1s are going to occur

[ffadicted]

ATTABOY HILL!!!!

Yessss bitchessss

[Libri]

OK, excellent shot by Hill.

[Supergirl]

Did Neal just get benched for committing a stupid foul?

[moisaenz]

and one's all over

[Spurologist]

good to see Hill show some passion out there. AND1!

[100%duncan]

In case you hadn't noticed, this game is all about lineup experimentation by Pop. He's playing around at this point.

but sill no reasons of losing

[Capt Bringdown]

Pop gives Novak some burn but lets Splitter ride the pine?

[Juggity]

Finally a decent play by hill

[moisaenz]

fricking calls....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol Rockets. Novak is in and they're not going to Budinger every play!?

I mentioned this 5 minutes ago, the announcers only just noticed... :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Hill!!!

[ffadicted]

..........

WHAT THE FUCK

Can nobody touch nobody out there in this bullshit game, what a bullshit ass call, blair was just standing there

[100%duncan]

TD is back bitches

[Cessation]

wow blair useless

[8FOR!3]

One of the worst officiated games I've ever seen. Let them play. Fuck

[Thomas82]

How the hell do we have 7 team fouls already??

[Horse]

How the fuck is that a foul?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop gives Novak some burn but lets Splitter ride the pine?

This is a small Rockets team. Splitter isn't needed and would be a poor matchup.

[100%duncan]

did TP just missed that?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally TD is back

[CFH]

Parker's J has been off all game

[moisaenz]

Neal should come back

[Ice009]

THIS FUCKING GAME IS SHITTING ME.

The commentating takes it to another level of shit.

[ffadicted]

LMAO what the fuck

there's been a foul literally like every goddamn trip down the floor, seriously

[Supergirl]

Refs are desperately trying to get the Rockets to stay in this game and it's working.

[100%duncan]

in case I forgot, FUCK THE REFS

[timtonymanu]

No surprise when Salvatore is calling this shit.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fucking fools...

[ffadicted]

ball don lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[100%duncan]

TP is clutch bitches!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Patterson is going to be a beast in a year or two.

[CFH]

Parker 3333333333333333

[Supergirl]

5 fouls on Hill, 4 on Manu and Blair. Grrrr.

[Spurologist]

ttttttttppppppppppp 33333333333333333333

[ffadicted]

Tony!!!!!!!!

[moisaenz]

Parker 3

[timtonymanu]

Parker is so clutch with 3s.

[Juggity]

Fuck. yes. TP.

[100%duncan]

travelling AHOLE

[Ice009]

Hill needed to take that shot.

WHAT A FUCKING LOSER, then he fouls on the other end.

FOR FUCKS SAKE HILL.

[CFH]

Phew, thought they were gonna call another foul

[benefactor]

They didn't call a foul...I don't believe it.

[100%duncan]

wow what a time to miss that

[ffadicted]

Damn how did Neal miss that

[CFH]

Damn Neal, that was an easy one...

[100%duncan]

.......... jumpshots

[ShoogarBear]

terrible shot

[itzsoweezee]

Now throw it into Duncan!

[benefactor]

This is a good small lineup for the Spurs. They can roll with it if the Rockets stay small.

[timtonymanu]

Damn Neal. I need this guy's jersey.

[Spurologist]

Today: Neal D >>>>> Hill's D

[moisaenz]

Neal compensates miss...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

THIS FUCKING GAME IS SHITTING ME.

The commentating takes it to another level of shit.

It fucking shits you every time the SPurs don't play perfectly and win by 35! :lmao
