Kawhi with the most Kawhi-ish interview ever. I don't think his expression changed ... or he blinked for that matter.

[JRHernandez88]

Checking in from hooters!! Yezir LET'S GO SPURS!!! Interested to see how we do tonight and who guards Harden, dudes been on fire past couple of games.

[dylankerouac]

It's Kawow time!

[Captivus]

I like that starting lineup
NDC-Manu-Neal-Jax-Diaw...small but dangerous!
I need a good Harden game for my Fantasy League! haa

[JRHernandez88]

Did my sig get blocked?? Wth???

[TDMVPDPOY]

if lin gets a career high again tonight...

[Captivus]

Home commentators on International League Pass

[Captivus]

Did my sig get blocked?? Wth???

i think they are blocking them all...its for the best i think in game threads

[Uriel]

I wish we had drafted Parsons. :depressed

[TDMVPDPOY]

fkn hero time

[Paranoid Pop]

I wish we had drafted Parsons. :depressed

:pop: We still need more backup PGs.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Tony Parker with two heroes in three seconds. WOW!

[Uriel]

It's amazing how much more potent our interior defense is when we start the twin towers.

[JRHernandez88]

i think they are blocking them all...its for the best i think in game threads
Oh ok just for game threads so it can load fast I guess?? That's cool.

[Manu-20]

Dam tragic johnson sighting there timmy.

[Uriel]

A blown outlet pass? :wow Am I playing 2K?

[ace3g]

Green go for the dunk there

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Timmy needs to stop with these damn outlet passes, tbh. Sometimes they work, but they usually don't.

[Manu-20]

Beside not dunking that ball danny is playing well to start this game on both end of the floors.

[Brunodf]

Good D

[Kool Bob Love]

Oh ok just for game threads so it can load fast I guess?? That's cool.

I can see you sig.

I dont know why you got youtube videos there but whatever.

Better than the girls half naked. (No Homo)

I was in the library one time and the librarian thought I was looking at porn. :lol

[Paranoid Pop]

Timmy needs to stop with these damn outlet passes, tbh. Sometimes they work, but they usually don't.

Like the fullcourt passes better than him dribbling the ball up the court.

[loveforthegame]

Great start. :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Green good start on both ends

[Captivus]

the sigs are still working...i guessed wrong...although i like the idea of not having during game threads

[Dr. Robert Lee]

I can see you sig.

I dont know why you got youtube videos there but whatever.

Better than the girls half naked. (No Homo)

I was in the library one time and the librarian thought I was looking at porn. :lol
Yeah, that's why I finally had to disable signatures. I mean, I love looked at some of the sigs, but it can create awkward situations, to say the least...

[TDMVPDPOY]

tony cant even d a fkn scrub LIN?

[JRHernandez88]

I can see you sig.

I dont know why you got youtube videos there but whatever.

Better than the girls half naked. (No Homo)

I was in the library one time and the librarian thought I was looking at porn. :lol
Lmao.



Green starting out well tonight.

[GB20]

tony needs to be benched

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Like the fullcourt passes better than him dribbling the ball up the court.
Ha, well I would agree with that.

[capek]

Love you Danny! Fuck the haters!!:ihit

[loveforthegame]

DP

[Uriel]

I love this team. :cry

[loveforthegame]

I'm loving those steals and dunks by Leonard.

[capek]

KAWOW!!! :ihit

Dude is such a beast

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Danny haters need to sit down and STFU, tbh.

[Libri]

Houston has forgotten that Green is a 3-point shooter. lol

[siraulo23]

kawhi breakaway dunk happens every game now

[Chinook]

You have to love the defense of the starting wings.

[timtonymanu]

Beautiful defense! :cry

[Manu-20]

God dam this D makes me want to cry so awesome to see.

[Spurs Brazil]

This starting 5 is working great on D

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Taking Hero Ball out of the starting lineup has down wonders for this team.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Kawhi's defensive instincts are impeccable, and his long arms make stealing the ball de rigueur. Great stuff!

[Suspect]

Yep. Another blow out. Not even gonna watch

[Uriel]

Harden. Forgot that guy was in the game.

[JRHernandez88]

Wow Timmy is now 8th all time in blocks. He deserves a dpoy award for his career. He has been the anchor for a longgggg time.

[Chinook]

Green's at the three. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Rockets make a run.

[Cane]

Nice Timmy got the call changed

[TDMVPDPOY]

tony lookin to get his now..law of avgs

[capek]

Now come on Danny. You can't make that mistake 2 plays in a row :(

[timtonymanu]

Now the Rockets can't miss.

[Uriel]

Wow. There sure are a lot of people in this game thread. :lol

[Brunodf]

Green with 2 of the most stupid fouls of the season

[GB20]

it is time to put the beast on harden

[thunderup]

I miss Harden :(

[loveforthegame]

Dumb fouls by Green. Other than that he's been playing very well.

[Chinook]

Green with 2 of the most stupid fouls of the season

Lol. I think the worst ones have been transition fouls when the other player still scores.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker with the swagga he cant guard me look...same shit could be said on the other end

[Dr. Robert Lee]

WTF WAS THAT DIAW???

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yep. Another blow out. Not even gonna watch

Yeah, I hate watching my team clinically dissect other teams... :rolleyes

[Uriel]

41 points in the first quarter?! :wow 5 years ago, that's how many we would've scored by halftime!

[timtonymanu]

Looks like it will be another high scoring game.

[Manu-20]

Good way to end the quater spurs.

[capek]

Man, what a great quarter. 41 points lol

GSG!

[Brunodf]

Hope there will be no small ball in the 2nd

[Captivus]

was that a no call foul for the Rockets?

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Yeah, I hate watching my team clinically dissect other teams... :rolleyes
Suspect is a Rockets fan.

[blkroadrunners]

41 points in the first quarter?! :wow 5 years ago, that's how many we would've scored by halftime!

We barely scored 44 in the 1st half against Toronto the other night.

[Spurs Brazil]

great 1st quarter

[Richie]

Great start defensively, an iffy few minutes there in the middle where nobody got a stop and a good hustling last couple minutes.

Good quarter overall, if we keep them under 25 in the 2nd this could be over by halftime

[Dr. Robert Lee]

We got the Grand Wizard out there now.

[Capt Bringdown]

I reckon it's happened before, but I can't recall the last time the Spurs scored 41 pts right outta the gate. Incredible!

[BanditHiro]

damn we suck again :(

[capek]

and crappy start to the second :(

[Brunodf]

where's the foul?

[loveforthegame]

Terrible start. Need Leonard and/or Green out there.

[polandprzem]

blowout as hell

[EVAY]

Gee, Lin started scoring heavily when TP went out. Not to worry, someone will figure some way to blame it on Parker.

[Trainwreck2100]

That was a horrible 1st quarter defensively they gave up 20 points in 6 minutes

[Dr. Robert Lee]

We can't guard Lin for some reason.

[Suspect]

Suspect is a Rockets fan.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd unit defense is bad. Time to bring Kawhi back

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol defense is fcking garbage

[Uriel]

We barely scored 44 in the 1st half against Toronto the other night.
I meant that's how many we would've scored 5 years ago in a typical slugfest Spurs - Rockets game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

is that spurschick i see sitting under the ring?

[blkroadrunners]

I meant that's how many we would've scored 5 years ago in a typical slugfest Spurs - Rockets game.

Oh okay. Very true.

[blkroadrunners]

Jax 3333

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck is the defense

[Boomersgold]

What's going on? .....

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol jax

[timtonymanu]

Just when I was complimenting the defense, it's back to teams outshooting each other.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Defense is worthless.

[loveforthegame]

What the. It sure went to hell fast.

[Paranoid Pop]

I'll never support he Manu De Colo combo, recipe for another rape vs the Clippers tbh, Bledsoe can't wait to face them again I bet.

Meanwhile the first unit could use some more playmaking to be less perimeter oriented and get Splitter more easy baskets.

[noob cake]

lol defense.

Let's not play any. I'm sure we are happy to play a running shoot out with the Spurs

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Captain Jack needs to retire.

[Captivus]

the Rockets are going to be death tired in the 4th!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

get that nigga jack

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Suspect is a Rockets fan.

:oops Indeed.

Still, his team is back in the game, so he shouldn't give up in the 1st Q! :lol

Can we stop playing at their pace please???

[TheSkeptic]

I'll never support he Manu De Colo combo, recipe for another rape vs the Clippers tbh, Bledsoe can't wait to face them again I bet.

Meanwhile the first unit could use some more playmaking to be less perimeter oriented and get Splitter more easy baskets.

I never thought I'd say this but I agree with you on both counts. If not the first unit, then for sure the second. Has Splitter taken a shot this game?

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Honestly, since we're not playing any defense anyways, we might as well put Patty, Hero Ball, Bonner, and Blair out there.

[Johnny RIngo]

Jackson, DeColo, Manu playing terrible

[Libri]

Jax lol

Probably embarassed that Parsons took it away from him.

[Boomersgold]

Captain Jack needs to retire.

The dude's rusty. Give him another season or two to get back into game form.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax and De Colo playing like crap.

De Colo had a big chance with Neal out but so far he didn't make any ground for playing time

[loveforthegame]

Jackson, DeColo, Manu playing terrible

[Russo21]

Stupid small ball. Bring Splitter in to play next to Timmy.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

The dude's rusty. Give him another season or two to get back into game form.
:rollin

[loveforthegame]

Starters righting the ship again.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why Lin crying

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Bullshit foul on Tony, tbh.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

We seem to have some select mental midgets on this team, tbh.

[Russo21]

Good to see Green on track again

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Danny Green tells the haters to sit down and STFU.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is parker allowing lin so much spacing to operate

[Kool Bob Love]

TIMMY!!!

[Libri]

Ok, that pass by Jack was nice.

[Paranoid Pop]

Danny Green tells the haters to sit down and STFU.

How many times are you gonna post that, save your energy for the playoffs tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf consecutive bullshit plays from tp

[loveforthegame]

Nice play by Jack and Timmy.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

How many times are you gonna post that, save your energy for the playoffs tbh.
Make me.

[Uriel]

San Antonio Suns.

[spurraider21]

jax has been pretty ineffective on both ends, save the one nice play with the behind the back pass

[Richie]

No D anywhere at the moment.

[Brunodf]

After the first 5 minutes Spurs D has been horrible

[timtonymanu]

San Antonio Suns.

THIS, tbh.

It's still very early in the season and this game is entertaining, but I was hoping the Spurs could commit on defense this game. That could all change in the 2nd half though.

[Russo21]

Only just tuned it. What the heck is going on. Only Parker Green and Timmy came to play tonight? They have 51 of our 60 points? WTF

[CitizenDwayne]

Bizarre game.

Hope this isn't indicative of this team in the future.

[Manu-20]

This is offically becoming a ABA game at this point no D for the most part.

[Captivus]

The Rockets are a good young team. Dont underrate them or the Spurs effort to beat them.

[spurraider21]

sloppy sloppy possession and Manu hits a 3. haha i'll take it

[loveforthegame]

Pop will have some nice things to talk about at the half. Fun times.

[keywester]

De Colo not cutting it as TP backup...guess we'll be back to Neal?

[TDMVPDPOY]

harden lmao comes back in ginos face...

fck parker is a scrub

[Uriel]

Unbelievable. OKC is the favourite, but can you imagine what they'd be like right now if they had Harden?

[Richie]

FFS another harden and1. Guy is ridiculous.

[Libri]

TP with a lazy ass foul. :/

[Boomersgold]

Why are we only up by 3? We're shooting at 62%

[TheSkeptic]

De Colo not cutting it as TP backup...guess we'll be back to Neal?

...

There has to be another solution.

[thunderup]

:lol anyone thinking this Spurs D is up to par to face the heavyweights of the league

[spurraider21]

Why are we only up by 3? We're shooting at 62%
they are shooting 58%

[Brunodf]

Spurs will set a new record of stupid fouls in one game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol cholos

[Uriel]

:lol anyone thinking this Spurs D is up to par to face the heavyweights of the league
The Spurs' defense is ranked 6th in the league. The Thunder? 10th.

http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/defensiveEff

[Boomersgold]

they are shooting 58%

Our defense must be pretty bad if the Rockets are shooting over 50%.

[spurraider21]

Tiago manhandled by Aldrich on that rebound lol

[timtonymanu]

Box out, Tiago.

[Paranoid Pop]

I liked Kimberly better tbh.

[Warlord23]

Lazy, listless play. Pop needs to let them hear it at the half.

[loveforthegame]

Broken remote after that play.

[Russo21]

Trade deadline is fast approaching. I reckon Jackson will be the main part of a big trade for us. 10 million expiring could be very enticing for someone.

[Johnny RIngo]

Scoreboard says Duncan has 1 block - WTF? Coulda sworn he's had three already. The guy recording the stats is doing a terrible job

[Capt Bringdown]

:lol anyone thinking this Spurs D is up to par to face the heavyweights of the league

Pessimism = realism when it comes to the Spurs defense. A work in progress yet to be started is about the best you can say IMO. Otherwise you're left to conclude that they aren't capable.

[PingPong]

Lin is from California, graduated at Harvard but keeps a peasant's haircut.

:lol

[TheSkeptic]

Scoreboard says Duncan has 1 block - WTF? Coulda sworn he's had three already. The guy recording the stats is doing a terrible job

Was just thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure he's had about 3 blocks.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol anyone thinking this Spurs D is up to par to face the heavyweights of the league

:lol Trolling a Spurs/Rockets game thread
:lol Collison at the buzzer

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Jax is old.

[naico]

Scoreboard says Duncan has 1 block - WTF? Coulda sworn he's had three already. The guy recording the stats is doing a terrible job

Yup. Certainly not the first time.

[Paranoid Pop]

Rockets dominating now.

[loveforthegame]

Rebounding went to shit too.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Trolling a Spurs/Rockets game thread
:lol Collison at the buzzer

rofl and he thinks we Spurs fans care about the #1 seed

[Manu-20]

Wow what BS spurs just BS effort on D this half need to pick it up in the second.

[Boomersgold]

Need some Patty Mills, tbh. Third ranked three point shooter in terms of three point percentage.

[Libri]

Scoreboard says Duncan has 1 block - WTF? Coulda sworn he's had three already. The guy recording the stats is doing a terrible job

The guy doesn't want Tim to win DPOY.

[timtonymanu]

We have the lead, but the Spurs looked lazy that half.

gotta bring up the intensity or the Rockets will steal this game.

[thunderup]

Pessimism = realism when it comes to the Spurs defense. A work in progress yet to be started is about the best you can say IMO. Otherwise you're left to conclude that they aren't capable.
Decent post.

[Spurs Brazil]

beautiful offense, terrible D

[Brunodf]

The guy doesn't want Tim to win DPOY.

Tim was robbed many times already...

[timtonymanu]

Need some Patty Mills, tbh. Third ranked three point shooter in terms of three point percentage.

I'd rather we save him for when we need buckets. We need stops and rebounds.

[thunderup]

:lol Trolling a Spurs/Rockets game thread
:lol Collison at the buzzer
:lol being a kiss-ass
:lol we still won

[TheSkeptic]

Need some Patty Mills, tbh. Third ranked three point shooter in terms of three point percentage.

Offense has been fine without him. The problem here is the defense and turnovers.

[Johnny RIngo]

Yup. Certainly not the first time.

I'm starting to believe the home team statpadding going on in the league - Paul's inflated assists in NO a few years ago, Ibaka's blocks in OKC. Too bad SA has a shitty stat guy working for them

[Clipper Nation]

rofl and he thinks we Spurs fans care about the #1 seed

:lol The Clippers ARE the #1 seed right now and I care less about it than he does...

[HI-FI]

:lol being a kiss-ass
:lol we still won
I guess where I went wrong on this forum was failing to come to the realization that reasonably educated adults would actual be so pathetic as to visit an internet message board on basketball and say things to another person for the sole purpose of pissing them off, even if the statements made in those attempts had nothing to do with basketball. I've started a thread and made comments about basketball that were sure to stir up controversy, but they were basketball related. You won't find a SINGLE post from me on this board making derogatory statements about people in regards to where they live, their city, their race, religion, suggesting people in their city should die, or anything else of the sort. I'll call someone a dumbshit for an opinion they hold on basketball, but that's all part of what these forums are about. For a grown adult to suggest that more people in OKC should've been killed in a bombing or that people of a certain city are all meth heads, etc is really quite unfortunate. I would suggest to those people that perhaps they should consider why it is they feel they need to make comments like that. Again I'm all for bullshitting and trash talking and making insulting comments in the context of certain discussions, but some of you people are here are children. It's a shame that a grown man can't be a man.

[keywester]

manu/patty combo better than manu/de colo

[Spurs Brazil]

manu/patty combo better than manu/de colo

I'd like to see Manu/Mills in the 2nd

[HI-FI]

thunderup is bar none the worst poster on this site. he blew onto the scene in a trail of smeared shit, the likes i've never seen before.

enjoy your Stern created team, once he's done protecting you guys, your team will evaporate in a haze of meth smoke tbh.

[thunderup]

:wow spur fan is salty

[Clipper Nation]

:lol okay kiss-ass :lol clipper/heat/spur fan

So, in your world, not hating a team is equivalent to being a fan? I guess logic and meth really don't go together, tbh :lol

[thunderup]

clip nation continues to follow me around :lol

[HI-FI]

:wow spur fan is salty
if McVeigh could've simply blown you or possibly your bloodline up instead, the world would be a better place tbh.

Truth bombs, son....

[thunderup]

Truth bombs, son....
:jack

[Paranoid Pop]

Splitter 1 shot
KY 2 shots

KY is as good as anyone on D so that's not a problem but feels like Splitter is getting less shots these days...

Oh and Miami is about to lose to the Pistons.

[Paranoid Pop]

Talked too soon lol they go to Splitter now.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

foul on splitter what

[Captivus]

DET 109 - MIA 99 (no Wade)
Will Bynum 25pts - 10ass
Lebron 35pts (15/22) - 6 Reb - 5 Ass - 6Stl ....WOW!

[TDMVPDPOY]

phantom call on splitter

[noob cake]

lol at that Splitter foul

Refs protecting Duncan from fouls the 3rd time this game.

[TheSkeptic]

Terrible call.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

duncan foot work per par

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

god damn timmy

[CitizenDwayne]

your team will evaporate in a haze of meth smoke tbh.

Nice visual.

[mystargtr34]

:lol that Duncan move.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker lol...gtfo scrub

[Brunodf]

Parker/Green killing us

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing great, keep going to him

Two stupid turnovers

[thunderup]

lol at that Splitter foul

Refs protecting Duncan from fouls the 3rd time this game.
yep

[Johnny RIngo]

Keep going to Duncan - Rockets frontcourt is garbage

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol parker bailout bullshit, fck this kent

[thunderup]

wow bailout call for parker

[TDMVPDPOY]

looks like lin will make this years allstar game ahead of the scrub parker

[Boomersgold]

looks like lin will make this years allstar game ahead of the scrub parker

That's a bit of a stretch, man. Lin's a proven scrub.

[Manu-20]

Spurs could be up at least a dozen if they quit turing the ball over so much when the fianllly get breathing room.

[thunderup]

:lol James still haunting the spurs

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs getting outplayed.

[Brunodf]

MANU!!

[Bill_Brasky]

We fuckin suck at defense

[Paranoid Pop]

Drafting Cojo over Parsons... Like it would be dangerous to get too tall or something...

[Boomersgold]

Anyone notice a decline in Splitter since he was put in the starting lineup?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Where's the defense?

[Johnny RIngo]

Jackson should not be playing tonight - has no idea what he's doing out there

[thunderup]

Toney Douglas :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Just terrible on defense, no closeouts. Rockets draining everything.

[timtonymanu]

The defense is still laughable.

[mystargtr34]

Damn the Rockets are scoring so effortlessly while the Spurs are working hard.

[Brunodf]

Anyone notice a decline in Splitter since he was put in the starting lineup?

I wouldn't call "decline" because he never touches the ball...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What's up with Capt Jack? He's killing us out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope the Spurs play just a little defense in the next 14 minutes

[Boomersgold]

I wouldn't call "decline" because he never touches the ball...

That makes him ineffective then.

[Russo21]

No Bonner, No Blair, 8 minutes of Diaw? Spurs are basically playing 2 true bigs in Duncan and Splitter this entire game. That shit is gonna bite us in the ass later in the year if we cant beef up our frontcourt.

[TheSkeptic]

Anyone notice a decline in Splitter since he was put in the starting lineup?

A little. He was fine the first game but I don't think he's getting enough shots as a starter with either the first or second units.

I think that if the Spurs want to play for it all, this is the gamble they need to make short of making a trade though. The problems we've seen so far can be corrected.

[Boomersgold]

Ginobili....

[PingPong]

Parsons looks like a hipster, not a NBA player.

[Paranoid Pop]

Anyone notice a decline in Splitter since he was put in the starting lineup?

Yes and he gave us the easiest basket, if he's gonna get used mostly defensively then we can as well trade him, even when Blair was starting it felt like he was fed a lot more... Also ffeels so weird seeing himhaving to close out on 3 pt shooters.

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers are killing me. Along with the defense.

[Bill_Brasky]

Fucking harden.

[Capt Bringdown]

I was excited as anyone when SJAX returned to the Spurs. However, he looks done and/or uninterested.
Are we seeing the return of his Headcase ways?

[Russo21]

I was excited as anyone when SJAX returned to the Spurs. However, he looks done and/or uninterested.

I hope he is gone by the deadline with his expiring as bait.

I agree with this. Especially the bolded.

They need to find him more shots and I'm not sure I like that he's a big but he's out on the perimeter so much. I just don't know. KL's the other guy who needs more shots.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Gino is starting to ball.

[Boomersgold]

I hope he is gone by the deadline with his expiring as bait.

Weren't you guys desperate for Jacks to comeback a week ago?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Now that's defense!!

[Uriel]

Well. The good news is, Pop appears committed to a 3-big rotation.

[loveforthegame]

I don't want to see Jack shipped off at any cost but the Spurs would be fools not to listen to offers.

[Boomersgold]

Tiago with the defense!

[timtonymanu]

Weren't you guys desperate for Jacks to comeback a week ago?

These will be the same assholes that will sing his praises when he hits a big shot in the playoffs.

[timtonymanu]

Karma is a bitch, Harden.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol what? Some bizarre fouls being called here.

I was excited as anyone when SJAX returned to the Spurs. However, he looks done and/or uninterested.
Are we seeing the return of his Headcase ways?

Well that's absurd. But he has been sucking. I guess best case scenario is he's coasting until the playoffs. We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out with him.
