Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets - Mar. 24 @ 6:00 PM CST

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Quick, while Brazil is asleep!

:lol


Spurs have this one road game before a HUGE home stand against the Nuggets, Clippers, and Heat.

I think the Spurs will become streak busters over the next week and kick it up a gear with Parker back.

Check my W-L record during game blogs, I'm on fire.

[sook]

shit. we lose this one. Lets just hope not by too much so our youngass team doesn't get their confidence in a wad and go on a losing streak :lol


14th pick here we come.

14th pick here we come.

It all depends on Lin. He needs to be aggressive, when his confidence is up, the team does well.

[phxspurfan]

Please stop starting game threads.

[Mal]

Time to throw one away, tbh

[boutons_deux]

Very tough stretch of 5 games.

I figure the last one @MEM Monday after MIA on Sunday will see Pop will sitting 2 or more starters.

[will_spurs]

Just die.

It's bad luck to create Game Threads without a picture of the Spurs Win girl in the OP.

So do they actually show the Rockets games in SA? I've heard from several people that Comcast bought all the rights and unless you have their service you don't get to see the game.

We get all 82 games in SA. Only the national feed for ABC and TNT games.

I guess it only applies to those with League Pass. Sucks.

Get that shit off here. Idiot

[bklynspursfan]

I'd be pretty happy if we take care of the ball, and hold them to under 100..

[TrainOfThought5]

So is anyone gonna step up and make a proper and non cursed game thread?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Spurs take on the Rockets for the final time this regular season. Interesting game tbh this could be a potential 1st round playoff match-up. Look for kawhi to go off..Oh yeah and...

:toast

[jestersmash]

I know the cursed thread nonsense is a fan favorite among these forums, but I think it's run its course. It's getting old now...

Every other response in an Amuseddaysleeper thread is "LOL Y DID U START THE THREAD ITS CURSED LOL LOL" It's like ok, we get it. It's a funny little inside joke, but do we really want half the responses in this thread dedicated to this (even if these responses are made in jest and not because you guys actually believe in this superstitious nonsense)?

TP9Network should eat Linsanity's breakfast, at least on the offensive end.

[thunderup]

I sure do hope the Rockets help us out tonight.

[DPG21920]

:lol jestermash. People take this too seriously. So intead of having the "cursed comments", we want more of the "nice shot!!!" or "let's go!!!!!!" comments? It's a game thread, not an analytical breakdown of the game IMO.

glad to see some participants. Haven't really had a game thread since being banned from CF. It isn't the same in the NBA forum...too many trolls.

[djohn2oo8]

:lol I don't even remember the last time I started a thread over there before being banned.

[timtonymanu]

sup Rocket fans. Good luck today, but I hope the Spurs win. :tu

[sook]

a lot of people in houston can't watch the games because of Comcast and I think there is a policy of not posting links here but satan's forum is temporarily allowing links to be posted if anyone wants to see.

Yeah, that's how bad I think lin's defense is.

aw shucks. It was fun while it lasted though :lol

[timtonymanu]

Looks like Amused wins the OP! :lol

[exstatic]

Looks like Amused wins the OP! :lol

Fuck.

[sook]

well he was first and this is a spurs site. It says a lot when the Mods here are far more lenient than a site for Rocket's fans. That would have gotten you a 2 wk ban over there.

[sook]

Looks like Amused wins the OP! :lol

This may be good for the rockets since he's cursed :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck, Rockets call on ILP

"Kawhee leonard"

:lol

[CitizenDwayne]

Let's get it on

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN
Gary Neal inactive for the third consecutive game.

[siraulo23]

spurs-rockets are always close no matter whos on the roster, should be a good game

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'm not sure if it's just me, but the Houston camera guy doesn't cover much of the court

[Captivus]

Tim Duncan: Stop Tony!! You are give me a heart attack!!!

[Brazil]

Quick, while Brazil is asleep!

:lol

:flag::flag::flag:

:lolol we are doomed tbh

[ElNono]

Fucking Dish... they have the game listed on the HD channel and not showing it... it's on the SD channel

[ElNono]

tim and1

[Juggity]

Duncan slicing and dicing on offense

[DapDaGenius]

"He got called on that foul for being a rookie". lol excuses

[loveforthegame]

Duncan looking good early.

[DapDaGenius]

Pathetic lost ball by Parker.

[GB20]

Why?? this the the type of game he should be playing. lot scoring

[DapDaGenius]

That was great.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Lebron Green, tbh..

[ElNono]

verde

[timtonymanu]

Danny!!!!!!!!!

[sook]

what a block.

[bklynspursfan]

What a block!

[Raven]

harden got fukin raped there..

[DapDaGenius]

Wow, Lebron Green, tbh..

Trademark that. lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Danny Green must have learned something after being rejected like that so many times in the past.

[GB20]

what a block from danny

[Manudona]

LeGreen

[EVAY]

Tony got fouled by Harden on that last play. No call of course, but he did get fouled by him.

[GuerillaBlack]

Rockets got this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy with a good start.

Green fantastic block

[Captivus]

That missed 3 pointer from Green would have been awesome...will-breaker.

[GB20]

tony looks a little rusty out there

[PingPong]

Now comes the bench and Houston blows.

[EVAY]

Rebounding!!!!!

[ElNono]

gonna be a lot of long rebounds this game... probably why Pop put Diaw out there

[Captivus]

Green on Asik?

[Raven]

t-rob :lol

[ElNono]

nice block by Asik on TD

[Juggity]

Asik playing Timmy pretty well

[ElNono]

you know, I love Manu, but I think it's crazy to put him on Harden... I would have Kawhi check him all game, tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Turnovers remain a huge issue. And not only by Manu

[HarlemHeat37]

Diaw being annoying, as usual..

He should have taken the layup instead of passing it to Duncan on the shot that was subsequently blocked, and then he didn't take the backdoor cut..

[DapDaGenius]

Manu....will he be Ginobili or Turnobili?

[benstanfield]

Danny Green's world car commercial is just horrid. Terrible writing, terrible graphics, terrible acting, and a terrible setup, all grey jumpsuit sitting on a stool???

[EVAY]

tony looks a little rusty out there

How dare he!!! It's already the second game back after three weeks out already. Trade his lazy ass!!

[ElNono]

I'm also hoping Tiago going out early means we're not going to see Blair today...

[DapDaGenius]

Way to go Jax.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

their you go jack!

[loveforthegame]

Of course Harden starts hitting shots now.

[Raven]

manu looks helpless right now on d..

[td4mvp2k]

:lol decolo

[timtonymanu]

No Neal, Bonner, Blair so far :tu

[PingPong]

Who da heck is Beverkey? :lol

[GB20]

nando!!

[loveforthegame]

NDC has been awesome the last few games. :tu

[Raven]

nice stroke here by nando

[td4mvp2k]

Plz gtfo Nando

[ElNono]

Pop mad at NDC

[timtonymanu]

Fucking rebound!

[Juggity]

NDC has been awesome the last few games. :tu

Too soon :lol

[DapDaGenius]

12-5 run by Houston. XD

[benstanfield]

TD/Splitter starting, Diaw spells Splitter, then Splitter checks in for Duncan. Throw in some small ball and you've got your playoff big rotation.

[ElNono]

that beverly is eating Nando's lunch, tbh

[Brunodf]

Diaw:bang

[RD2191]

HOUSTON FLOPETS

[bklynspursfan]

Pretty good defense overall though the last few minutes weren't. Offense still looks out of whack at times

[loveforthegame]

Lack of rebounding and turnovers. :td

[ElNono]

all that said, if you can hold the rockets to 88pts, you'll probably win

[Pop]

Nando's D got exposed. Again. Why did Pop go away from Cojo??

[GB20]

nando needs to play better defense

[BillMc]

Let's go Spurs!:flag::flag:

[crc21209]

Harden is annoying as shit. He acts like he gets shot everytime he draws a foul..

[ElNono]

come on Diaw... it's a layup

[Juggity]

4 missed shots on one possession, jesus

[DapDaGenius]

Beverly is Harden Jr.

[RD2191]

garbage bball

[timtonymanu]

The bench sucking ass once again.

[loveforthegame]

Bench doing work again. For the other team.

[RD2191]

someone put that beverly scrub on his ass

[Raven]

we need to give tiago the ball, robinson won't defend him

[EVAY]

Thank you Diaw!!

[GB20]

what fuck has happened to our bench?

[DapDaGenius]

Diaw the Miaw. LOL

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Diaw wow!

[Juggity]

Diaw being aggressive is a good sign

[loveforthegame]

Thank you Diaw. :tu

[Floyd Pacquiao]

better borris! their you go

[timtonymanu]

Much better play by Diaw the last 3 plays.

[ElNono]

so the bench is great when Diaw makes shots and plays like he gives a fuck? :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Boris bringing us back

[EVAY]

Diaw is playing well.

[Raven]

robinson getting eaten alive by anybody per par

[Quiet Strength]

Now that Diaw probably has a hot hand.. I wonder if pop will bench him

[crc21209]

Diaw's ballin' this quarter....:tu

[GB20]

diaw needs to play like that every game

[benstanfield]

Boris is the perfect 3rd big when he's hitting shots. Does a little bit of everything and works well with our two primary bigs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris finally woke up. Good plays

[EVAY]

so the bench is great when Diaw makes shots and plays like he gives a fuck? :lol

At this point, I would almost prefer to see Diaw taking the three than Jackson or Ginobili.

[siraulo23]

so beverly is the unknown player thats gonna kill the spurs tonight right? :lol

[ElNono]

At this point, I would almost prefer to see Diaw taking the three than Jackson or Ginobili.

hey, ride the hot hand...

[DapDaGenius]

At this point, I would almost prefer to see Diaw taking the three than Jackson or Ginobili.

That should be a complete preference. Jackson has been ass with his 3pt shot.

[ElNono]

but it's the defense... we made a couple stops and we made a run

[hater]

Manu shitting the bed as usual

[GB20]

there you go tony!!

[DapDaGenius]

Wow the Rockets announcer is a bitch...

[RD2191]

fukin scrub

[GB20]

manu keeps loosing his man

[RD2191]

put that bitch on hiss ass, fuck man

[timtonymanu]

Who is this Beverley kid? :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

We're over-helping

[DapDaGenius]

Beverly the Jarrett Jack of the Rockets??

[Captivus]

so beverly is the unknown player thats gonna kill the spurs tonight right? :lol

That the only certainty in a spurs game, some random guy will have a career night.

[ElNono]

I guess beverly will eat TP's lunch too

[ElNono]

come on jax

[DapDaGenius]

Did Jackson just.....Jackson MADE A 3!!!!!!!!! :wow

[DapDaGenius]

We should trade for Greg Smith. He looks Diaw's little bigger brother.

[ElNono]

Spurs +2 when Suckobili sits down... defense been good, tbh

[RD2191]

why isnt kawhi in the game? smh

[loveforthegame]

Pop saving Duncan and Leonard for a rainy day?

[ElNono]

defense been good, tbh

[GB20]

why isnt kawhi in the game? smh
he looked too passive

[PingPong]

Is Jax drunk or what?

[Juggity]

why isnt kawhi in the game? smh

He was a little off on defense to start the first. Flew past his man (Harden) a few too many times

[GuerillaBlack]

Surprised they called a travel there with how long they waited tbh...

[ElNono]

the only thing I didn't like much was Green fighting through that screen in the last Rockets play... he's gonna have to keep up if he's on Harden

[crc21209]

I'm not feeling the De Colo-Jack-Green lineup. None of them are great ball handlers, especially Green...

[ElNono]

red rocket...

[RD2191]

why is pop still playing bonner? 2nd round exit coming up

[EVAY]

Look they have 10 more rebounds than we do at this point, and that is gonna kill us if it keeps up.

[ElNono]

rockets announcers: :cry he traveled :cry

[bklynspursfan]

Throwing lobs is not our strong suit ....

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That invisible 3rd step

[Trainwreck2100]

he didn't travel

[timtonymanu]

why is pop still playing bonner? 2nd round exit coming up

No need to overreact.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good job Nando

[Captivus]

Travel?? 1-2-3

[GB20]

hahah

[ElNono]

i don't mind Matt here much against the Rockets... especially with Tim on Asik

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol nando to kawhi!

[EVAY]

Brilliant, deColo.

[timtonymanu]

Keep impressing, Nando.

[hater]

:lmao rocket annourcers

fucking pathetic

[naico]

You gotta be kidding me. Asik gets away with these ridiculous push offs under the basket every fucking time

[siraulo23]

lol rockets announcers that was 2 steps, but yyeah no foul

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is waking up.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'm okay with Bonner as long as we don't rely on him spacing the floor.

[ElNono]

:lol Clyde... 1-2..... 3,4,5 steps!

[Captivus]

NDC learning from CoJo!

[emanueldavidginobili]

LETS GO!!

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Nando can put together some decent games so Pop isn't tempted to play Neal at PG.

[GB20]

Leonard is waking up.
yep

[Raven]

green is playing terrific defense this year, really impressed by his growth..

[timtonymanu]

I'm okay with Bonner as long as we don't rely on him spacing the floor.

Bonner > Blair at this point.

[EVAY]

Hopefully Nando can put together some decent games so Pop isn't tempted to play Neal at PG.

He played quite well in the last game.

[polandprzem]

:lol Clyde... 1-2..... 3,4,5 steps!
exactly

:lol


IMO he is the worst announcer of all :D

[ElNono]

the defense is off the charts, tbh... this Rockets team is a very, very good offense

[eric365]

not only rockets announcer were totally wrong on the travel (4 steps !) but they can't even admit it after 3 replay

[GB20]

now we are going small

[Juggity]

Kawhi is fuckin amazing.

[ElNono]

nice Manu to Kawhi!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

They were counting that one step Nando took as he caught the ball.

[timtonymanu]

Thank God Harden is no longer in OKC.

[ElNono]

Harden "getting to the line"

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is a stud. What else can you say.

[naico]

Bahaha...FINE

[PingPong]

Harden and Lin are sleeping..

[will_spurs]

De Colo seems to have gone over the rookie wall at last.

[ElNono]

Nando picked it up after a slow start... we'll see what happens when that Beverly comes back... hopefully he cooled off

[RD2191]

We are getting destroyed so lets flop.

-J Harden

[hater]

LMAO Rocket announcers

when Spurs draw foul = flopping

when Rockers draw foul = initiating contact

Beverly has three fouls already.

[crc21209]

I don't have respect for guys like Harden, Durant, and Westbrook. Theae fucking guys seem like they care more about drawing fouls and getting the calls (doing it in dramatic fashion as well) instead of just playing the game...

[ElNono]

Beverly has three fouls already.

yup

[manufan10]

LMAO Rocket announcers

when Spurs draw foul = flopping

when Rockers draw foul = initiating contact

Glad I have Bill & Sean. :lol

[jestersmash]

LMAO Rocket announcers

when Spurs draw foul = flopping

when Rockers draw foul = initiating contact

Wow have they really accused us of flopping tonight? We've had a couple of questionable free throws (Duncan on Motiejunas wasn't a foul on Motiejunas imo), but I don't recall any flopping.

[GB20]

harden should shave that shit. i bet he has pieces of doritos hanging in that beard

[ElNono]

Manu "initiating contact"... :rolleyes

[will_spurs]

Glad I have Bill & Sean. :lol

Me too. Streams > all.

[szkorhetz]

Is leo defending Harden?
I am not on stream, just on mobile, checking the score.

[manufan10]

Ginobili is playing like a TOSB.

[ElNono]

TD can't get a call

[Suspect]

Actually not watching this game cause its a scripted loss for the Rockets

[ElNono]

terrible call

[ElNono]

we're getting officially jobbed

[Raven]

omg green

[RD2191]

COME ON GUYS, FUCK

[GB20]

come on !!

[timtonymanu]

Stupid play, Danny.

[RD2191]

FUCK THESE REFS

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili is moving okay. He just isn't making things.

[ElNono]

finally we get a break

[EVAY]

Ask has blocked Timmy a couple of times already tonight.

[GB20]

danny almost made that three

[manufan10]

:lol they didn't call the bump on Parker, but they called that.

Ask has blocked Timmy a couple of times already tonight.
