Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets - Dec. 10, 2012

[Boomersgold]

Get NANDO out there, Pop. This is what happens when you don't play him.

He did play...and when he was on, the Spurs were outscored by 11.

[DPG21920]

Plentyyyyyyyyyy of time. Just regain composure and take care of the ball.

[Boomersgold]

He's already abusing Timmy. It can't be any worse.

Timmy will probably get fouled out soon anyway. Only then would it be okay for Bonner to go in.

[superjames1992]

Diaw = 1 rebound in 20 minutes. Nice going there, buddy.

[CitizenDwayne]

Parker wide open...passes up shot.

Defender steps in front of Parker...he decides to shoot. wtf.

[Juggity]

TPPPP

[DPG21920]

TP with the classic I'm not that good at 3's but I'll hit em when we need em goods.

[JRHernandez88]

Ha tony sat there and looked @ the line

[TheSkeptic]

A bit has to do with the Spurs putrid fucking defense but Houston is simply jacking up and making bullshit shot after bullshit shot. I guarantee you they won't play like this again the rest of the season.

I think we need to give credit where it's due. The Rockets came to play for this one and the Spurs didn't.

That said, hopefully the Spurs come back and win this one -though that's probably not going to happen.

[ace3g]

great move by Green

[JRHernandez88]

Pretty layup

[Libri]

Greeeeeeeeen, great play

[spurraider21]

GREAT move by green. nice pump and drive

[superjames1992]

He did play...and when he was on, the Spurs were outscored by 11.
He played well. It's not his fault the team sucked ass.

[CitizenDwayne]

That's what happens when Lin and Asik leave the game.

[DPG21920]

And they're back! 5 minutes of good, clean ball and they got this. Danny with a nice finish. Was worried that might not end well :lol

[Flawless]

If Nando really wants to get that back up point position he needs to improve his defense. The guy is good but his defense is just bad..

[DatBoyGood]

:lol just like the pacers game.

[lakerhaterade]

There you go. Rocket's missed the last couple of shots, statistics suggests that should keep happening.

[jestersmash]

GREAT move by green. nice pump and drive

He didn't pump fake, but good drive and finish nonetheless.

[Brunodf]

Finally, now take Neal out

[timvp]

:lmao This is a hilarious game. The Spurs are playing like asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss on both ends, the Rockets have played some amazing ball.

And it's tied. WTF.

[Capt Bringdown]

Awesome - this would be a big win if they can turn it around

[Johnsyounger]

YESSSSSSSSS:downspin:

[will_spurs]

Parker bringing the Spurs back into the game...

[Libri]

Neal 333333333333333333333

[spurraider21]

Really? You want Nando in NOW? Not in crunch-time, sorry

[DPG21920]

Not like this

[loveforthegame]

I don't understand this game. Good grief. :lol

[JRHernandez88]

Bullshit

[TDMVPDPOY]

gary neal hahahha afkn scrub

[Boomersgold]

Neal really excels at the SG spot. I cringe every time he tries taking up the ball as the point guard.

[lakerhaterade]

Good fucking Allah god, it keeps happening. BULLSHIT

[Manu-20]

LOL fluke shots.

[Seventyniner]

Neal giveth and Neal taketh away

[Amuseddaysleeper]

*facepalm*

[ElNono]

Green on Lin now... Neal with the 4 pt play goods

[timtonymanu]

Fuck

[TheSkeptic]

Neal's shot the ball well but Spurs need stops tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if lin scores +45....sperm defese

[Bill_Brasky]

Parsons with the "im only gonna hit fluke shit tonight" 3.

[ElNono]

sit down boris

[Johnsyounger]

Green lookin at a girl in the stands...WTF

[Brunodf]

Pop losing this game

[superjames1992]

Neal fouled a jump shooter TWICE against Charlotte and now a four-pointer here. PATHETIC.

[Boomersgold]

Rockets with 15 threes? lololol

[ace3g]

Neal with it

[DPG21920]

:lmao Gary Neal. "Are you kidding me"

[CitizenDwayne]

Nice, Neal. Now that I like.

[Libri]

Neal is fearless.

Now play some D, please.

[JRHernandez88]

Omg Gary Neal stop that wow that boy gets buckets

[ElNono]

come on Gary... thats right on your mug

[ace3g]

take everyone else out, Neal VS Parsons

[spurraider21]

was about to say neal with it... then parsons answered

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck with the fluke 3s

[SpursIndonesia]

TP on triple double watch .....

[Flawless]

Just give Neal the ball lol

[Bill_Brasky]

It's been said countless times but Neal's balls are humongous. Parsons wants none of that in a 3 battle.

[Johnsyounger]

THE NAIL!!

[Brunodf]

Take Neal out, his defense is not worth of his offense

[JRHernandez88]

Omg beautiful spin

[DPG21920]

Holy sh*t TP just blew Parsons up.

[Kyl3]

Neal needs to beat the shit out of Parsons

[spurraider21]

Take Neal out, his defense is not worth of his offense
lol, imagine

[Boomersgold]

Take Neal out, his defense is not worth of his offense

His defense isn't worth 26 points on 66% shooting?

[ElNono]

we shouldn't really win this the way they've been hitting the 3 ball...

[lakerhaterade]

ROFL get the fuck out of here with bullshit Parsons

[DatBoyGood]

my god that tony spin...

[Arcadian]

Damn, this is intense! I wasn't expecting this shit.

::takes a bong hit::

[jestersmash]

Neal is fearless.

Now play some D, please.

superjames1992: ":cry hero ball :cry"

[spurraider21]

honestly our 3 point shooting is pretty much as good as their's tonight. the difference is in our 17 turnovers and their 11 offensive rebounds

[DPG21920]

I hope Gary goes JR Smith on it. Just act like a knucklehead after his next 3.

[JRHernandez88]

If Lin, Parsons, and Harden are all clicking...

[DatBoyGood]

TP only a board away from a trip dub...

[BanditHiro]

If Lin, Parsons, and Harden are all clicking...

they won't be

[superjames1992]

superjames1992: ":cry hero ball :cry"
It is hero ball.

Sometimes, the ball goes in.

This defense is awful to watch.

And WTF is with this lineup? Four guards? Manu at PF? Manu setting picks for Tony? The hell is going on, Pop?

[DapDaGenius]

come on Spurs, ya'll got this, don't let those little penis-havin' rockets win this one

i can't wait for Kawhi to get back...

[spurraider21]

Parsons has been hitting 3's all year. going 4-8 isn't something out of the realm of possibility...

[DPG21920]

If Lin, Parsons, and Harden are all clicking...

It will be tough. James Harden is a ball dominant player. Lin is not nearly as good with the ball out of his hands.

[spurraider21]

Lin and Douglass comining for 9-12 from 3 is the oddity tonight

[DPG21920]

Linsanity wow

[ace3g]

SuperManu!!!

[Boomersgold]

TDMVP's cousin is destroying us...

[Libri]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[ElNono]

MAAAAAAANU

[Kyl3]

Just throwing up shots and they are falling

[DPG21920]

Spurs can put up some points boi.

[Arcadian]

That was a beautiful screen by Tim to set up the Manu tres.

[ElNono]

:cry "he set that leg out" :cry

[ace3g]

come on Green, need to come down with that ball...

[Ice009]

forget monkey ball, this is chink ball.

[Darius McCrary]

"He stuck his leg out..."
"Well he was setting a pick"

rofl houston announcers

[Spurminator]

Bill Worrell still the whiniest bitch calling NBA games.

[spurraider21]

Houston 16-30, San Antonio 13-26... lets not pretend their 3 point shooting has been the difference

[DPG21920]

Get a stop, then a score.

[spurraider21]

Neal missed his easiest shot of the night

[ace3g]

really Asik...

[Kyl3]

Damn! Giving them every opportunity possible

[JRHernandez88]

Defense

[ace3g]

WTF Parker...

[spurraider21]

LOL asik going glass on duncan

[Brazil]

Fuck

[superjames1992]

Neal can't hit 'em when it counts.

[CitizenDwayne]

Bad shot

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf was that

[DatBoyGood]

good d!!!

[ffadicted]

what the fuck was that.... why no time out

[Brazil]

Great d green

[Johnny RIngo]

Why the fuck did Parker rush that?

[ElNono]

great D Danny!

[Flawless]

Wow! Finally some nice defense.

[Brunodf]

What shot was that?/

[HI-FI]

Green trying to save Tony from his hero ball

[Spurminator]

Why the fuck did Parker rush that?
2 for 1

[ElNono]

kill em now

[Darius McCrary]

Aaaaaand Green just shut all his haters up.

[DPG21920]

Danny when it matters. TP with nice help.

:lmao Sean: "Do we need to hand Houston Danny Green's resume. You try and take him one on one?!! I don't think so".

[ffadicted]

mad cred for dat D

[spurraider21]

WOW danny green. amazing. pop always sticks him on point guards end of games when they're feeling it. LOVE it

[Brazil]

Why the fuck did Parker rush that?
To get another shot after this one

[Fpoonsie]

God, Sean's annoying as fuck.

[AussieFanKurt]

fuck yeah green!! clutch D

[DPG21920]

Why the fuck did Parker rush that?

To go 2 for 1.

[Brunodf]

Thank god we have Green to stop Lin or he would be with 60 points right now

[AussieFanKurt]

God, Sean's annoying as fuck.

what else is new

[CitizenDwayne]

Danny Green, thank you.

[SpursIndonesia]

Who's taking the final shot ??

[Johnsyounger]

last shot? TP or the NAIL?

[SpursIndonesia]

Manu ..... make it happen ....

[CitizenDwayne]

And lol at Sean trying to make Green sound like Bowen

[Brazil]

Ot

[Flawless]

Overtime..

[DPG21920]

Hate, just hate that play. Why go to Tim there when their best defender is Asik.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WTF are the Spurs doing out there? My god

[spurraider21]

lol... stream lags as duncan catches ball. buffers and we're in overtime

[JRHernandez88]

Y'all crazy Sean's funny as hell

[DatBoyGood]

NO COMMENT

[ElNono]

they should take a look at that... it bounced out before time expired

[boutons_deux]

tim dribbling into traffic, how many times has that fucked up?

[Boomersgold]

What kind of play was that?

[Manu-20]

That was such a stupid play have no idea wth they were trying to do.

[Uriel]

We're gonna miss, they're gonna get the rebound, call a quick timeout, and hit a shot at the buzzer for the win. /anti-jinx

[Darius McCrary]

Bad playcall. That had no chance.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u not going to get bailout calls in last few seconds...fkn stupid play

[ffadicted]

That was something fugly

[jestersmash]

they should take a look at that... it bounced out before time expired

Yeah I caught that as well.

[Brunodf]

Take the small lineup out

[NickiRasgo]

Spurs drawing the play just like what Duncan did last season against NOH?

[superjames1992]

We need the Red Rocket in OT, tbh.

Neal can hit shots all day until the heat gets turned up.

[DPG21920]

Especially when Tim has not exactly looked Spry tonight. Hope that was not the designed play because I don't like it.

[Paranoid Pop]

Asik is their best defender, what a stupid play

[Johnsyounger]

Did Duncan get hacked?

[Kyl3]

that's just embarrassing.

[timtonymanu]

Great. More basketball to hurt our defensive numbers.

[AussieFanKurt]

fuck that was dumb, why dribble from 3 point line into traffic, jesus christ

[Johnny RIngo]

Hate, just hate that play. Why go to Tim there when their best defender is Asik.

Seriously - And Tim's been struggling against him all game. Bad call from Pop.

[DapDaGenius]

Secret Weapon Bonner Time.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs better snap out of it in OT.

[superjames1992]

Duncan is 1/8 from the field. Yeah, let's feed him.

[DAF86]

Especially when Tim has not exactly looked Spry tonight. Hope that was not the designed play because I don't like it.

I think it was 'cause Manu had a much easier pass to a free running Gary Neal.

[jestersmash]

I say we blast off with the red rocket! </semi-serious>

[Paranoid Pop]

Duncan is 1/8 from the field. Yeah, let's feed him.

Genius...

[Uriel]

Amazing fact: Duncan has only played 28 minutes. Manu has played 32.

[benstanfield]

Pop gets an F------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Fpoonsie]

It looked like the play mighta been for Manu to cut to the basket, but Timmy couldn't get the ball to him...or some shit.

[Ice009]

Just get a fucking good look for once. inexcusable not getting shots up in that situation.

every fucking time, that is all I want, a good look, and the Spurs always fuck it up.

[Boomersgold]

fuck that was dumb, why dribble from 3 point line into traffic, jesus christ

Apparently, Pop's a genius at drawing up plays...

[CitizenDwayne]

This game is like porno for Don Nelson.

[BanditHiro]

now we are taking bad shots

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck with the bad shot selections

[superjames1992]

Manu tonight.

17 points on nine shots, five rebounds, five assists. Another FINE game by Manu. Damn good points per shot ratio.

[PingPong]

When the f**in Harden isn't in the game ballhogging...

[NickiRasgo]

Triple-Double for Parker.

[Brazil]

Triple double for tp :tu

[Johnsyounger]

travel :)

[tinysands]

Parker's first career triple double

[HI-FI]

Green has been on fire lately. nice

[ElNono]

manu!

[DatBoyGood]

Defense!

[Brazil]

Huge Manu tonite

[TDMVPDPOY]

green beastin

[Darius McCrary]

Anyone else holding their breath when Danny went for that layup?

[Flawless]

Defense starting to shine

[ffadicted]

Fuck ya dem steals boys 'm drunk lol

[DAF86]

Manu with the clutch goods on both ends per par.

[Juggity]

Green is solid

[jestersmash]

I thought refs would give Asik the foul on that last play. Pleasantly surprised that they've reverted to fair reffing for the OT so far.

[Johnsyounger]

ya greens shot not pretty

[ffadicted]

greetest game verrrrrr

[Paranoid Pop]

Kinda changed my mind about starting a thread for Neal to start at SG, Green with the goods.

[benstanfield]

Shocking Asheek didn't get that call

[squiz]

green has finished strong at the rim this game

[superjames1992]

Manu is clutch.

[therealtruth]

Great. More basketball to hurt our defensive numbers.

Actually overtime can help if they play better defense.

[AussieFanKurt]

:lol this game

[will_spurs]

Triple double for TP is long overdue :flag:

[ElNono]

oh come on

[superjames1992]

25 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists for Tony.

[Uriel]

That moment when you're stuck in school and you can't watch the game because firewalls are blocking the streaming sites so you have to refresh the box score every 5 seconds.

[Brazil]

Tim is smocking

[DatBoyGood]

bang bang! Neal!

[Libri]

woohoo, Neal

[Flawless]

Neal is just on fire today :wow

[DPG21920]

Gary cold blooded

[CitizenDwayne]

Hate to say it, but I'd rather see it in Neal's hands than Tim's at the moment.

[ace3g]

Manu!!! and TD!!!

[024]

neallllll

[Brazil]

Dagger

[Trainwreck2100]

HOLY FUCK that pass

[ffadicted]

Gary

Mother

Fucking

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Brunodf]

GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[JRHernandez88]

I love Manu no homo

[Paranoid Pop]

Tim looks bad on O.

[TIMMYD!]

Oh mama! Risky pass but it paid off

[ffadicted]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAPE

gg game over

[johnnySpurs]

DUNCAN!! With the block and the hail mary!

[timtonymanu]

Career high for Neal. i want to see him get 30.

[will_spurs]

Timmy beasting on the blocks

[DPG21920]

Good contributions from a lot of guys to comeback and in this OT.

[Johnsyounger]

THE NAILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boomersgold]

We need the Red Rocket in OT, tbh.

Neal can hit shots all day until the heat gets turned up.

LOL. What's with the Neal hate? He's dominating the game.

[AussieFanKurt]

how is this OT? we should have beat these scrubs ages ago, what a fucking woeful play by parsons.... lowest bball iq play of the game

[TheSkeptic]

Pop needs to give the team an earful after the game.

[Brazil]

Greeennnnn !

[DPG21920]

Danny with the very Manu-esque play :tu

[ffadicted]

gee fucking gee just stop the clock refffffffffz

[DatBoyGood]

Green making huge plays in this game

[JRHernandez88]

That pesky D

[TIMMYD!]

Green forces the TO. That's game

[NickiRasgo]

Nice D DG!

[ffadicted]

Rockets announcers so fucking classy boys

[Flawless]

Green with the defense tonight

[Darius McCrary]

Danny Green is grippin grain and poppin trunks up on the Rockets

[CitizenDwayne]

What exactly are the Rockets announcers saying?

[Brazil]

Come on TimTim

[Brunodf]

Green limited Lin to 4 points in the 4th/OT

[Libri]

Damn, a lot of empty seats.

Houston fans missing out of a great game.

[AussieFanKurt]

green may not be a great defender overall but man he can sure make some good plays on D

[AussieFanKurt]

What exactly are the Rockets announcers saying?

before we saying how good green is etc

[superjames1992]

Tony hasn't scored in like a quarter. WTF? I hate how he scores in bunches and then just goes blank for long periods of time. You can't argue with a triple-double, though.

[Johnsyounger]

Spurs D still very troubling....Hard to say if rockets just shot lights out or if Spurs D sucked ass

[jiggy_55]

How does Duncan only have 3 blocks??? I've seen 4 or 5 myself... Stat guys are idiots

[DPG21920]

Spurs are throwing up some ludicrous offensive numbers :wow

[timtonymanu]

Duncan still manages to get a double double even though he's 1-9.

[carina_gino20]

Spurs D still very troubling....Hard to say if rockets just shot lights out or if Spurs D sucked ass

Rockets are shooting 43% but Spurs have let them attempt 30 3's..

[Brunodf]

How does Duncan only have 3 blocks??? I've seen 4 or 5 myself... Stat guys are idiots

Against Sacramento he had like 8 and just 4 on the boxscore

[spurraider21]

Jeremy Lin goes nuts when he's the primary option on a team.

[Manu-20]

Spurs are throwing up some ludicrous offensive numbers :wow
crazy thing is the spurs ball movement was complete shit for the most part and they still can put up big numbers like this.
