Game Blog: Spurs v Rockets - 12/29/2011

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

The first unit looks like shit

[ElNono]

Manu horrible... go sit down

[024]

duncan not playing well

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs falling apart.

[loveforthegame]

Starters killing us this game. Bring the bench back.

[DPG21920]

Tim is just flat out bad today. No way to sugar coat it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Manu, RJ, Parker all look flat on jumpers

Fatigue, yo.
Spurs peaked too early?

[Spurs Brazil]

Our starting 5 looks AWFUL

[BanditHiro]

why didn't they trade these assholes. (Kevin Martin and Scola)

[timvp]

Damn, this team looks tired as hell.

[Spurologist]

Spurs 2nd unit >>> Spurs starters tonight


fatigue already showing 3 games into the season............

:pop: we missed shots

[ElNono]

When Dalembert was on the bench, we didn't attack the basket... Dalembert is there now, we go for it an get our shit blocked... smh

[Fireball]

you can see the problems of a back to back already ... Timmy can't do it ... 1st unit sucks (not Manu though)

[Manu20]

Looks like one of those games where the spurs just cant catch a break :(

[DPG21920]

We all knew it was going to be a tough game on a b2b against an always scrappy Houston, but it's surprising to see them this out of gas this early. They look like they are wearing cement basketball shoes.

[MI21]

Boy, Ginobili, Jefferson and Duncan are playing some hideous basketball at the moment. It's time like this they miss Neal and his ability to splash some jumpers out of nowhere.

[NASpurs]

TOSB(s) is in full effect tonight.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Duncan and his damned Euroball play. I will never understand the 7-footer who doesn't want to go up strong in the paint.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

u can see timmy and manu are already kinda burnt out,

[Tmac&Luther]

I know it's a back to back, but the Spurs look old as hell...they're playing a more up tempo pace this year and at their age, they won't be able to maintain it. The younger team will win tonight and the Spurs will sputter out of gas over the length of the season.


LOL, there is going to be so many high quality young teams in this years playoffs...as soon as SA runs against a young team with young legs, they'll be ran right out of the gym.

[Imp23]

TD playing like ass.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Duncan jumped half an inch to challenge that Scola putback


fatigue, yo

[DPG21920]

Dalembert is pwning Tim.

[BanditHiro]

game we suck :(

[4>0rings]

Still 31 points lol

[angelbelow]

Wow 3 straight turn overs.. damn it.

[Dex]

Wheels coming off....

[ElNono]

tbh, you can be tired, but there's no excuse for the shit defense

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

pop beinga dumbass and loving that bonner more than tiago well hell learn

[timtonymanu]

Ugh call it a night then.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ugly game.....

[loveforthegame]

Pitiful. Embarrassing really.

[therealtruth]

The bench plays better defense than the starters. They just need some scoring.

[Chieflion]

Look at all these tired old shitbags.

[Dex]

And of course, Kevin Martin picks tonight to remember how to shoot

[timtonymanu]

By the way, I hate Kevin Martin. Everything about him irritates me.

[jag]

Apparently Duncan aged about 15 years last night during the flight to Houston.

[rasho8]

Pull rj, Tim and bonner for good. Play the bench more.

[Libri]

We all knew it was going to be a tough game on a b2b against an always scrappy Houston, but it's surprising to see them this out of gas this early. They look like they are wearing cement basketball shoes.

And they didn't have to travel much. How are they going to handle back to backs where the cities are in different states.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

And of course, Kevin Martin picks tonight to remember how to shoot

lol no shit

what an overrated, chunking piece of shit

[SA210]

Duncan and his damned Euroball play. I will never understand the 7-footer who doesn't want to go up strong in the paint.

[DPG21920]

damn it Blair you dummy

[Tmac&Luther]

And it's only game 3 or 4 for the Spurs? Newsflash...this is NOT a season for OLD teams. Back to backs galore in a compressed season, this season will favor the younger teams (See Celtics out east)

[024]

did the spurs just age 10 years overnight??

[timtonymanu]

We should throw out that 5th big we have ... oh wait.

[Spurologist]

ugly ball....-18

[DPG21920]

WoW

At least we can take comfort in knowing the Rockets aren't any good.

[angelbelow]

Wow, poor Duncan, he must be exhausted.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Should give up this game and play the deep bench the rest of the game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol The starters shitting the bed when they only played 25 minutes last night....

[NASpurs]

I got bad news for you Spurs. There's more b2bs and a couple of b2b2bs this season.

[timvp]

65-1 :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad 1st half. Bench looks good (Not you Bonner). TP the only starter playing well

[timtonymanu]

Unless some miraculous run occurs, the game is over.

I don't really care if we drop this one, but damn at least try out there.

[urunobili]

I sense a trap game... it may be an L...

:wakeup

[Manu20]

That was the worst possible way to end the first half!!!

[Fireball]

that one is on Pop for not realizing that the second unit was better and could have played a little longer

[bbarry]

why does tim duncan always try to act loose in the pregames, joking around and fuckin with sean elliott and shit. he looks terrible out there and the fucking around isn't helping any.

i want to kick him in the knee cap so bad right now.

[timtonymanu]

Manu, RJ, Duncan, Bonner - F grade

[SA210]

WTF ever happened to the Pop that used to get angry as hell on EVERY sloppy play?!!

[jag]

And it's only game 3 or 4 for the Spurs? Newsflash...this is NOT a season tailor made for OLD teams. Back to backs galore in a compressed season, this season will favor the younger teams (See Celtics out east)

I still don't get the point you're trying to make. You should keep posting the same shit over and over until I understand.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

I'm all for sitting timmy the second half no kidding

[timtonymanu]

why does tim duncan always try to act loose in the pregames, joking around and fuckin with sean elliott and shit. He looks terrible out there and the fucking around doesn't make him look good.

gtfo

[DPG21920]

:wakeup

Playing a divisional opponent that always plays you tough on the road on a b2b isn't a trap game tbh...

[tim_duncan_fan]

They're just being stupid.


They have quit.

We've seen this the past 5 years or so. This game is over.

We'll regroup and hopefully come back strong Saturday.

[Libri]

that one is on Pop for not realizing that the second unit was better and could have played a little longer

minus Bonner

[DMC]

Championship here we come!

[ElNono]

IMO, tired has nothing to do with it... RJ, Bonner took wide open catch and shoot 3s... they just can't hit the side of a barn... Anderson also doesn't look tired, just sloppy.

[timtonymanu]

that one is on Pop for not realizing that the second unit was better and could have played a little longer

Yeah but they were starting to look gassed (Splitter mainly)

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this just show you how terrible the clippers play defense.

[Tmac&Luther]

WoW

At least we can take comfort in knowing the Rockets aren't any good.

Well on the flip side your team is losing BIG to a team that "aren't any good"...so answer me this Cletus or Jimbo..or whatever your hick name is. How can you "take comfort in that"? :lol

[Manu-of-steel]

that one is on Pop for not realizing that the second unit was better and could have played a little longer

Agree

[rasho8]

I'm all for sitting timmy the second half no kidding

This right here. As long as they shackle bonner to him and make them both sit on rj

[DMC]

These things are a big "fuck you" to the league for the scheduling, like when Pop sat his stars in Denver.

[Dex]

I know this is no new revelation and I'm sure what this thread needs is more bitching, but just keep in mind that we gifted Houston Scola so that we could give Bonner a pay day.

http://sp8.fotolog.com/photo/56/47/77/ign_93/1279587478490_f.jpg

[Fireball]

Duncan trying the Blake Griffin with a Plus/Minus of -28 at the half ... Splitter should start the 2nd half and play 20 minutes

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Playing a divisional opponent that always plays you tough on the road on a b2b isn't a trap game tbh...

ehhh isn't that the penultimate definition of a trap game

[DPG21920]

Well on the flip side your team is losing BIG to a team that "aren't any good"...so answer me this Cletus or Jimbo..or whatever your hick name is. How can you "take comfort in that"? :lol

Ya, everyone loses to non-playoff teams. When the Spurs go onto their next game, they will just chalk it up to losing to a bottom feeder that tried pretty hard.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

It's only December ;)

[Fireball]

minus Bonner

yeah but the Splitter Bonner combo kinda worked ... Bonner has to play some minutes when we have only four bigs

[DMC]

IMO, tired has nothing to do with it... RJ, Bonner took wide open catch and shoot 3s... they just can't hit the side of a barn... Anderson also doesn't look tired, just sloppy.
You know the first thing to go is your jumpshot when your legs are tired.

It's going to be like that all year, fresh teams vs the opponents' 3rd string.

[ElNono]

Not gonna win many shooting 30%

[DMC]

It's only December ;)
Even then, game 3, so in effect, it's November.

[DPG21920]

ehhh isn't that the penultimate definition of a trap game

No a trap game by definition is a game most think you should win pretty handily that if you take it lightly you can get upset.

Old team playing on the road during a b2b is not even close to that definition.

[Tmac&Luther]

I still don't get the point you're trying to make. You should keep posting the same shit over and over until I understand.

well wipe the menstrual blood out of your eyes (dang you must be a heavy bleeder) and maybe you'll figure it out. :lol

[ElNono]

You know the first thing to go is your jumpshot when your legs are tired.

It's going to be like that all year, fresh teams vs the opponents' 3rd string.

I just don't see them tired... I don't see them gasping for air (Manu does that all the time when he's worn out). Matty is running like a headless chicken no problem... I just think they're missing shots...

[Dex]

Wipe the menstrual blood out of your eyes and maybe you'll figure it out. :lol

I'm not sure you understand how periods work...

[DMC]

Not gonna win many shooting 30%
I thought we were doing ok until that 4 possession shit fest when they force fed Bonner.

[DPG21920]

Only thing worse than the Rockets team themselves is their fans basketball knowledge and attempts to troll :lol

[Muser]

Tmac&Luther is like lakaluva but really, really bad.


And lakaluva is pretty fucking bad.

[GB20]

if tim plays like this then he should retired this season.

[Dex]

Same as last year, our roll players dont show up on the road, we are getting bitch slapped in the paint on both ends. Offense no movement at all, year after year same problems.

Think it would have been worth making a deal for Dalembert RC who is only getting 7 mil this year.

Which is only 4 million more than the Spurs can give....

[Lars]

Haven't seen us play zone defense in a long long time. Seems to be working.

[Muser]

Need more Leonard, much more.

[ElNono]

IMO, it's also tough when Tim has a bad game... only 7 ft out there when Tiago is on the bench

[Robz4000]

I felt we were gonna lose this before the season started. First b2b against a Houston team that always plays us hard who are on 3 days of rest, and it's their home opener to boot. I'm just pissed our starters are making retarded mistakes.

[Nathan89]

It would be nice if Pop started Splitter and Kawhi in the 2nd half. Put Splitter on Scola and Kawhi on Martin. I'm tired of seeing Martin wide open. Tell Kawhi to stay on his ass for better or for worse.

[Cessation]

lol bonner 1-5, 0 rebounds

[ElNono]

Same as last year, our roll players dont show up on the road, we are getting bitch slapped in the paint on both ends. Offense no movement at all, year after year same problems.

Think it would have been worth making a deal for Dalembert RC who is only getting 7 mil this year.

We didn't have 7 mil this year

[DMC]

I just don't see them tired... I don't see them gasping for air (Manu does that all the time when he's worn out). Matty is running like a headless chicken no problem... I just think they're missing shots...
You cannot see tired as well as you can see winded. I think they are tired, not so much winded.

They got almost nothing for training camp, almost no preseason, and this is game 3, and 2nd of a b2b.

They are tired. Not getting back on defense, no one running the floor.

[jag]

why does tim duncan always try to act loose in the pregames, joking around and fuckin with sean elliott and shit. he looks terrible out there and the fucking around isn't helping any.

i want to kick him in the knee cap so bad right now.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a real take.

[Tmac&Luther]

Ya, everyone loses to non-playoff teams. When the Spurs go onto their next game, they will just chalk it up to losing to a bottom feeder that tried pretty hard.

Bottom feeder...last I checked, your team is bitting the pillow right now. :hat

[Dex]

Haven't seen us play zone defense in a long long time. Seems to be working.

Spurs had trouble solving the zone last night, too. Teams are going to start to recognize. :depressed

[Libri]

Spurs schedule at the end of March

3/23 Mavs
3/24 Hornets
3/25 76ers

3/27 Suns
3/28 Kings

:wow

[DMC]

Bottom feeder...last I checked, your team is bitting the pillow right now. :hat
Bitting?

[TE]

Bottom feeder...last I checked, your team is bitting the pillow right now. :hat

We've got a retard right here.

[ElNono]

You cannot see tired as well as you can see winded. I think they are tired, not so much winded.

They got almost nothing for training camp, almost no preseason, and this is game 3, and 2nd of a b2b.

They are tired. Not getting back on defense, no one running the floor.

I'm just going to disagree. If you have no problems running on offense, you shouldn't have a problem running back.

[Fireball]

And not playing D, and turning it over, and not moving on offense, not covering open shooters...ect

right about the missing D ... Anderson was killed by Martin ... but 6 TOs is very good for a half

[Dex]

Well at least we have a better FT%.

[DMC]

I'm just going to disagree. If you have no problems running on offense, you shouldn't have a problem running back.
But who's running on offense? How many fastbreak points?

[TE]

Really, this game will be more of the Spurs mistakes then the Rockets good play.

[ElNono]

Bottom feeder...last I checked, your team is bitting the pillow right now. :hat

Last I checked, we can lose this game and still be above the Rockets...

[Fireball]

0 Ast by Parker ...

[Muser]

0 Ast by Parker ...

That's more on the Shooters sucking ass than Parker not looking for them.

[ElNono]

But who's running on offense? How many fastbreak points?

You don't have to run a fast break to run on offense. They're moving, they're active... they're not sitting around.

I don't see them tired. Maybe they will in the 2nd half, but right now it's just a cop-out. They played poorly and missed a lot of shots.

[jag]

well wipe the menstrual blood out of your eyes (dang you must be a heavy bleeder) and maybe you'll figure it out. :lol

Your understanding of women's anatomy is about what I'd expect from one of the few non-chinese rocket fans.

[Fireball]

That's more on the Shooters sucking ass than Parker not looking for them.

yep ...

[Dex]

Everything has been sloppy. The ball-handling, the passing (weak passes into the post or into crowds, when not going right out of bounds), the rebounding, the transition D, the perimeter D, the shooting....The team is just completely out of sync and Houston is taking advantage. Going to take a monumental turnaround just to have a chance at getting back into the game.

[DMC]

You don't have to run a fast break to run on offense. They're moving, they're active... they're not sitting around.

I don't see them tired. Maybe they will in the 2nd half, but right now it's just a cop-out. They played poorly and missed a lot of shots.
I understand your point, and it seems that way, but I don't believe the entire team said fuck it.

[NASpurs]

Well at least we have a better FT%.

Too soon?

http://elspethcooper.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Popping-Champagne-cork.jpg

[Ditty]

Cut it down around the 10 point mark by the end of the quarter Spurs, grind this one out.

[timvp]

This is a classic overconfident Spurs reality check. The Spurs looked good last night but just about everyone not from New Hampshire played really damn well. That just doesn't happen more than once or twice a season. This team hit adversity and crumbled.

At least Pop will have some ammunition for his "don't skip steps", "we're not as good as we think", "we need to get over ourselves" mantras.

[ElNono]

I understand your point, and it seems that way, but I don't believe the entire team said fuck it.

I don't think they said fuck it... I do think Scola set the tone early. And when your shots don't go in, it's all uphill.

[ace3g]

#RealCoachPop sitting Duncan to start second half according to Monroe twitter

[Fireball]

Splitter and Leonard starting the 2nd ...

What does he have for the "half my team can't jump over a credit card" mantra?

lenard starting, interesting

The problem is who's buying what Pop is selling anymore? You can use the "we're soft" card that many times...

[ElNono]

looks like we're mailing it in

[NASpurs]

#RealCoachPop sitting Duncan to start second half according to Monroe twitter

The TOSB could use some rest. :lol

[Tmac&Luther]

Last I checked, we can lose this game and still be above the Rockets...

LMAO..SA has played more games.

The short cramped schedule favors Houston. Oh just wait for the annual rodeo schedule where SA has to go out on the road on dead legs.

I've seen this movie, it was called the 1997-98 Rockets. Dead legs.

[jag]

#RealCoachPop sitting Duncan to start second half according to Monroe twitter

That Monroe is always on top of things. Can't get anything past him

[angelbelow]

GINOBILI!! man what a reverse layup.

[Libri]

Tim is just to tired. :depressed

[Nathan89]

It would be nice if Pop started Splitter and Kawhi in the 2nd half. Put Splitter on Scola and Kawhi on Martin. I'm tired of seeing Martin wide open. Tell Kawhi to stay on his ass for better or for worse.

TBH, I wasn't thinking in place of TD.

[Spurs Brazil]

In all 3 games we kept missing shooters in transition

[Muser]

LMAO..SA has played more games.

The short cramped schedule favors Houston. Oh just wait for the annual rodeo schedule where SA has to go out on the road on dead legs.

I've seen this movie, it was called the 1997-98 Rockets. Dead legs.

Favors Houston to what? A low end lottery pick?

[angelbelow]

Another fantastic 3rd incoming.

[ElNono]

LMAO..SA has played more games.:cry

Well, come back when you played 3 games OR Houston is above the Spurs in the standings...

I've seen this Houston movie too... it's called The Lottery

[Spurologist]

Manu doing work tonight.

TD on the bench...good

[Manu20]

Spurs showing some life to start the 3rd!

[Fireball]

here we go

[ElNono]

Showing a pulse now

[timtonymanu]

I understand benching Timmy, but RJ must have been playing really bad to have Kawhi start the 3rd over him.

[urunobili]

Splitter +13

[bbarry]

good things happen when duncan's tired old ass is on the bench.

time to trade his old ass

[timvp]

Pop with a genius adjustment. Doubt the Spurs have the juice to get all the way back but at least this will give Splitter and Kawhi valuable time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good run. Manu with some good plays

[Fireball]

looks like we're mailing it in

:sleep

[Bill_Brasky]

Good signs, manu is just a freak of nature with those moves......

[smrattler]

That first half was a sad look at an againg Duncan. I hope he's just tired, but he just looked old. Good lord, how many of those shots would Scola have gotten off in Duncan's face 7 years ago? He would have eaten all of them.

[ElNono]

I understand benching Timmy, but RJ must have been playing really bad to have Kawhi start the 3rd over him.

He was

[TDfan2007]

Tim should not have played at all today. He looked like a zombie out there. Hopefully he doesn't come back in, because that shit was just embarrassing.

[ElNono]

:sleep

:wakeup :lol

[bbarry]

don't get too happy. we are only outscoring them by 3.

cue time for martin and company to nail some open 3's.

[timtonymanu]

good things happen when duncan's tired old ass is on the bench.

time to trade his old ass

This has to be a troll.

[timvp]

I've seen this movie, it was called every season in Rocket history that MJ wasn't suspended for gambling.

Fixed.

[Fireball]

don't get too happy. we are only outscoring them by 3.

cue time for martin and company to nail some open 3's.

The right guys are on the floor ... thats all that matters ...

[ace3g]

nice putback dunk? by Kawhi

[Dex]

Cow-High with the putback dunk!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to cut it to single digits going into the 4th. Chip away.

[jag]

LMAO..SA has played more games.

If by "favors Houston" you mean the Rockets will be lucky to break even this season, then yes, it favors them.

[Muser]

Damn Leonard..

[ElNono]

Tony.... fml

[bbarry]

open jumper - swish

open 3 - swooosh

[Spurologist]

beautiful D by Splitter on Scola and we still give up a 3

:pctoss

[DPG21920]

Should have been a charge.

[TDfan2007]

Houston isn't missing many outside shots tonight, but to their credit they're moving the ball beautifully.

[timtonymanu]

All we need is Dragic to come in and shoot 4 pointers on us.

[ElNono]

Horry :worthy:

[DPG21920]

No double teams. Don't leave the shooters.

[MannyIsGod]

How did I never notice how much McHale looks like Herman Munster?

[DPG21920]

Splitter is doing very well on Luis.

[Dex]

I still don't understand how it makes ANY sense to have 4 bigs, this season of all seasons.

Say Tim is done for the day....that means we wear out Tiago and Blair even more, or see extra Bonner time. :bang

[Spurologist]

Robert Horry is +6.... DAMN.....keep the interview alive

[BanditHiro]

who was the bitch that said scola own splitter?

[DPG21920]

Man, this unit is great. Lacks shooting, but overall way more positive than negative.

[bbarry]

This has to be a troll.

not a troll. just really pissed at this shit i'm seeing. one of the most frustrating regular season game for me in the past 3 years.

[Fireball]

Scola does not own Splitter ...

[MannyIsGod]

The defense in transition tonight has been flat out awful at times.

[Dex]

YES! They punched Tony in the face!

[Muser]

God damn drexler is retarded. Thinking Kyle fucking Lowry will get into the ASG ahead of Paul/Bryant etc.

[Spurs9]

Spurs got this game.

[ace3g]

Blair doing a great job right now

[DPG21920]

Blair is beast mode right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Tiago, go strong

[jag]

I still don't understand how it makes ANY sense to have 4 bigs, this season of all seasons.

Say Tim is done for the day....that means we wear out Tiago and Blair even more, or see extra Bonner time. :bang

The Spurs need a 4th big. As of right now they have 3 bigs and Bonner.

[timtonymanu]

not a troll. just really pissed at this shit i'm seeing. one of the most frustrating regular season game for me in the past 3 years.

Ok. So you're just an idiot. Got it.

[coco1983]

so is Kawhi going to make any of those 3's?

[bbarry]

all this effort by the spurs, and still only outscoring them by 4 this quarter. :rofl

[urunobili]

Kawhai did everything right there then the screen screwed him :pctoss

[Manu20]

Dejuan doing some work tonight..

[NASpurs]

I mean, at least the Spurs seem to be trying instead of mailing it in, which is all I can ask for. Sometimes it's just not your night but there's still time for a comeback.

[MannyIsGod]

So frustrating to see Martin waste time dribbling and then hit a pull up jumper. Thats just bad basketball and its been working all night for him. Granted, they've given far too many open jumpers but he's hit a lot of bullshit like that too.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are in a decent spot. If they take care of the ball, they can get the lead down to single digits going into the fourth. That Tiago TO hurt.

[timvp]

At least the Spurs appear to be awake this half.

[jag]

not a troll. just really pissed at this shit i'm seeing. one of the most frustrating regular season game for me in the past 3 years.

Are you retarded?

[DMC]

I like what I am seeing from Blair. He looks more patient, focused and his FTs look good. He's ballin'

[timtonymanu]

God damn drexler is retarded. Thinking Kyle fucking Lowry will get into the ASG ahead of Paul/Bryant etc.

Thank Christ, I don't have the Rockets feed. That Portland sell-out is a retard.

[TDfan2007]

Defense has not been good. Jumpers are not being contested. To Houston's credit, they aren't missing many of them.

Loving the energy from this lineup though. Tiago doing a great job on Scola.

[Libri]

Blair shitting on SpursTalk.

[Spurologist]

Leonard needs to be attacking the paint. Unless he's receiving a manu behind the back pass, his shots need to be at the rim. MORE DUNKS PLEASE

[Dex]

So frustrating to see Martin waste time dribbling and then hit a pull up jumper. Thats just bad basketball and its been working all night for him. Granted, they've given far too many open jumpers but he's hit a lot of bullshit like that too.

Pisses me off that Martin couldn't throw it in the ocean before tonight, and now he looks like Ray Allen out there.

[Fireball]

all this effort by the spurs, and still only outscoring them by 4 this quarter. :rofl

difficult because this unit lacks offense ... but I still like it

[ElNono]

Dwight Howard with 24 rebounds in one game... at this rate is going to take Matty 1 season and a half to catch up

[Fireball]

Dwight Howard with 24 rebounds in one game... at this rate is going to take Matty 1 season and a half to catch up

:lmao

[timtonymanu]

Pisses me off that Martin couldn't throw it in the ocean before tonight, and now he looks like Ray Allen out there.

which is why I hate Martin :lol

[DPG21920]

Get stops!

[Spurologist]

:lol

Rocket announcers with 100% bias

[MannyIsGod]

Wow. Thats the kind of night it is.

[DPG21920]

Fuck off

[ElNono]

It's one of those nights

[ace3g]

just one of those nights...if shots like that are going in...

[NASpurs]

Bullshit shot by Lowry

[jag]

Very impressed with Splitter's D this game.

[Dex]

Beautiful defense....and Lowry drains a fucking 30 footer. FML.

[BanditHiro]

fuck let tiago take scola by himself.

[timtonymanu]

F U Lowry!

[TDfan2007]

ROFL Lowry shitting all over us.

[ElNono]

Pop pulling the white flag early

[DPG21920]

So that wasn't a goaltend? They called a foul on Manu?

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[Dex]

Green in before Anderson?

[Chieflion]

This is just bullshit right there.

[Spurologist]

is RJ in the dick house?

[DPG21920]

That charge call on Manu really hurt the Spurs. It's been a 7 point swing

[TDfan2007]

Man...I can't stress this enough. Houston is going NBA 2k12 on our guys. Hitting EVERY jumper they take.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah just one of those nights. It's always scary to play Houston. They know how to play the Spurs.

[Manu20]

Lol its safe to say is not our night

[ElNono]

Hate to lose to a shit team like the Rockets, but you're not gonna win them all

[smrattler]

That bald spot of Manu's, as it gets bigger, our championship window gets smaller.

[Johnny RIngo]

I still don't understand how it makes ANY sense to have 4 bigs, this season of all seasons.

Well, this is the same team that traded Scola to a division rival for nothing just to save money.

[Spurologist]

Matty Ice checking in

[Spurs Brazil]

Dalembert owning the paint

[DPG21920]

Watch Matt start hitting shots.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That bald spot of Manu's, as it gets bigger, our championship window gets smaller.

:lmao

[ElNono]

Matty might as well start chucking

[Hemotivo]

It would be nice if Pop started Splitter and Kawhi in the 2nd half. Put Splitter on Scola and Kawhi on Martin. I'm tired of seeing Martin wide open. Tell Kawhi to stay on his ass for better or for worse.

:toast

[ace3g]

nice hustle Leonard!!!

[Manu20]

That bald spot of Manu's, as it gets bigger, our championship window gets smaller.

LOL thanks for the laugh :lmao

[DPG21920]

Need a little 10-2 spurt here.

[Fireball]

Leonard working ...

[Spurologist]

When Sherlock Drexler says you need to work on your shot then that should be your sign

[timtonymanu]

Are you retarded?

lol bbarry.

:cry Tim Duncan jokes around too much. We need to trade him. :cry

[Nathan89]

2pts the hard way

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

kawhi has great hands that's for sure

[ace3g]

Splitter dunk!!!

[Dex]

Tiago flush! And he didn't bust his ass!

[Tmac&Luther]

Spurs got this game.

:lol

[MannyIsGod]

Somehow get this under 10 please.
