[scanry]

Why on earth is Bonner even in the game? :bang

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan with two excellent games in a row now. think it's safe to say he's back. Great news even if we drop this game.

[Obstructed_View]

this team just aint got it

Ow. I'm laughing so hard at this.

[Juggity]

Imagine if Harden was still on OKC. Jesus.

[r0drig0lac]

STFU:lol

[Kool Bob Love]

Bonner.

[Mal]

another game lost by manu

[lefty]

:lmao

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Damn that was dumb

[ElNono]

WTF???!?!??!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

What the fuck is Manu doing?!..wow, what a terrible shot to lose the game:lmao..

[Johnny RIngo]

Houston's commentators are fucking terrible. Apparently every player on the opposing team is a flopper despite James Harden being on their squad.

[spursparker9]

Why kawhi not guarding Harden??

[PlayNando]

Why Manu?

[r0drig0lac]

WTF?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What the fuck was that???

[Cry Havoc]

this team just aint got it

You are seriously the biggest pussy on this site.

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO. this isn't a championship team. Rally all the way and lose like this.

[HI-FI]

:lol
this place is going to meltdown.

[ElNono]

You gotta foul!!

[bbarry]

WHAT THE FUCK. SPURS BROADCAST CUT INTO GAME LATE AFTER COMMERCIALewf ef2wfe

[Ginobili3]

WWWOOOWWW

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[angrydude]

wow, parsons, lol.

[Cry Havoc]

God manu.

[Richie]

Spurs completely shit the bed in the last 2 minutes.

[Juggity]

Wow. Manu with the same awful shot selection as ever.

[loveforthegame]

All that work for nothing. :bang

[SPIDER2311]

stupid manu

[RD2191]

Spurs fans in denial.

[scanry]

Manu..

[ElNono]

Manu took the shot that was drawn up... it's the not fouling that was stupid as fuck

[Kool Bob Love]

Pop playing Bonner.:bang

[lefty]

What the fuck is Manu doing?!..wow, what a terrible shot to lose the game:lmao..
it was a play for TP but choking faggot shat the bed and passed it to Manu

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That wasn't Manu's fault completely imo, Parker should've tried to score, he had the jumper and he could've put up a floater.

[PlayNando]

Why kawhi not guarding Harden??
Because he can't guard him. Watch the game.

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs fans in denial.

So leave and never come back if you have no faith in this team. Why waste your time here?

[TXstbobcat]

Time for a Marco 3

[bklynspursfan]

Pop playing Bonner.:bang

He gave Leonard a shot at playing the 4, but he's had a poor offensive outing

[313]

sigh gg

[bdictjames]

Good game Spurs.

[moisaenz]

parker wont play hero when he has to

[ElNono]

If we gonna lose, at least injure a couple guys

[313]

That wasn't Manu's fault completely imo, Parker should've tried to score, he had the jumper and he could've put up a floater.this

[timmy2003]

Damn

[Shaolin-Style]

Looking at the meltdowns here makes me sad. They came back from a huge deficit and competed, that's what counts. One more regular season loss, they learn from it and move on

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs fans in denial.

The Spurs come back from a jillion points down and you wait until after they lose to say that. Seriously, stop. So much stupid. :lmao

[td4mvp2k]

:tu to da betta team

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs still have not beaten a good team this season.

[Brunodf]

:lol Pop hacking his team outta of the game
:lol Playing Bonner over Kawhi in crunch time

[RD2191]

So leave and never come back if you have no faith in this team. Why waste your time here?
Still a fan, just time to rebuild. This team is going nowhere fast.

[spurraider21]

gg rox. gg indeed

[angrydude]

well, rockets did their very best to choke this game away but the spurs couldn't take it for some strange unknown reason

[sook]

wtf this game isn't worth a couple of injuries!

[boutons_deux]

Spurs lose to 2 in a row to playoff teams

[PlayNando]

That wasn't Manu's fault completely imo, Parker should've tried to score, he had the jumper and he could've put up a floater.

Yeah Tony had a good look. Bot sure why he passed it up tbh.

[Mal]

0-9 run to finish the game. After huge comeback

[RD2191]

Spurs still have not beaten a good team this season.

[timmy2003]

Houston's commentators are fucking terrible. Apparently every player on the opposing team is a flopper despite James Harden being on their squad.

I seriously hate them

[moisaenz]

better to lose these games at the beginning of the season..

[baseline bum]

Fucking Ginobili with his typical late game bads.

[HI-FI]

GOAT brace.

[Obstructed_View]

Can we bury Hack a Howard or whatever for good? That plus Pop's meaningless technical were the difference.

[ElNono]

We beat the Warriors, tbh...

[itzsoweezee]

Kawhi's got to start hitting the three again.

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs made a nice comeback. On to the next one on Monday.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol at least that pussy boy Parsons got hurt, hopefully he's out for the season, tbh..

[RD2191]

Spurs lose to 2 in a row to playoff teams

[Cry Havoc]

Still a fan, just time to rebuild. This team is going nowhere fast.

:lmao You said the same thing last year and we won our conference and were within 20 seconds of the title.

:lmao Just leave.

[timtonymanu]

:lol all the predictable cliff jumping posters out

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Timmy would've made that 6 years ago tbh

[Boomersgold]

Fuck you, Harden, you flopping piece of shit. Too much hero-ballin' from Parker.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Yeah we lost...


But Timmy isn't dead.

Timmy can still play ergo, I don't give a shit about this loss at all.

[RD2191]

:lmao You said the same thing last year and we won our conference and were within 20 seconds of the title.

:lmao Just leave.
Come on son, Westbrook's injury opened up the road to the finals for the spurs.

[Juggity]

:cry one of the grittiest efforts I can remember in years :cry

[ShooGazer]

FUCK

[Bulaien999]

Il be downstairs kids, if you wanna talk about it

[PingPong]

LOL meltdown.

[Budkin]

Wow. Talk about shitting the bed.

[baseline bum]

We beat the Warriors, tbh...

By two with no Steph Curry tbh

[baseline bum]

We beat the Warriors, tbh...

By two with no Steph Curry tbh

[SPIDER2311]

no point taken over the game in the 2nd quater? need to do it in the 4th

[Richie]

Well played Rockets. Spurs shit the bed at the end and they closed it out

[ElNono]

the wrist cutting won't be pretty after this one, tbh...

[Boomersgold]

Timmy played well. I guess he does have something left in the tank.

[td4mvp2k]

Fucking Ginobili with his typical late game bads.season hi in asts tbh

[DMC]

Tim not fouling Harden was a mental mistake.

[itzsoweezee]

Danny Green is killing us.

[ElNono]

By two with no Steph Curry tbh

we pretty much had no Bobo today...

[crc21209]

This game is on Manu...damn it. Horrible shot selection..

[DMC]

Pop disrupting the defense to foul Howard over and over was a game killer.

[ElNono]

Verde going 1-5 from 3 didn't help either... he gotta make 3s at home

[EVAY]

I think it is very sad that people on this board beat up their own players so badly after they have obviously played their hearts out. When Manu is successful he is the greatest of all time, when he gets a turnover he is killed by the same posters. When Tony puts the team on his back and brings them back from a serious deficit he is hero-balling and when he doesn't shoot it he is responsible for someone else missing because he SHOULD have shot it.

Some of you guys are seriously sorry excuses for fans.

[timtonymanu]

I'm happy Duncan has looked better these last two games.

Just hope Diaw is okay.

[mclinejr]

Houston's stellar 3-point shooting in the first half, Pop's excessive "Hack-A-Howard" play, and Tony's hero ball playing are what killed us.

[Staplepuffs27]

Can we bury Hack a Howard or whatever for good? That plus Pop's meaningless technical were the difference.uh Harden missed the technical free throw, and Howard missed some free throws.

[boutons_deux]

DG + KL = 1 of 8 3Gs, 13 pts

[Mal]

uh Harden missed the technical free throw, and Howard missed some free throws.

Nope, bitch went 4/6

[Mikeanaro]

Fucking Kawhi, shitting against the good teams

[testies]

when we were up 3 after the huge comeback, how the fk did we lose? all momentum+crowd, they are a mess and their coach is mchale
that was not spurs-esque.. too many stupid decisions on the fast breaks

[Reck]

Spurs came back from 20, took the lead and almost won a game they had no business winning anyway. Good sign imo.

Gotta get the rust from playing shitty sub par team somehow.

[DMC]

Rockets listing Howard as a PF. lol

[RD2191]

Its safe to say Kawhi has been vastly overrated and is nowhere near the player some made him out to be, myself included. Role player at best. Tbh.

[Darius McCrary]

Verde going 1-5 from 3 didn't help either... he gotta make 3s at home
His bad shooting nights highly correlate with Spurs losses.

[EVAY]

Houston's stellar 3-point shooting in the first half, Pop's excessive "Hack-A-Howard" play, and Tony's hero ball playing are what killed us.

Tony shot 50% from the field, played over 30 minutes, had 8 assists and 6 rebounds and only 2 turnovers. YOU are a FOOL!!!!!

[mclinejr]

Its safe to say Kawhi has been vastly overrated and is nowhere near the player some made him out to be, myself included. Role player at best. Tbh.

I can't stand your posts, tbh.

[SpursRock20]

Some of you guys are seriously sorry excuses for fans.

One of the reasons I don't come here as often as I used to.

Anyway, biggest take away from this game is that Duncan is back. That's so much more important than a virtually meaningless win in November.

[Mal]

Spurs came back from 20, took the lead and almost won a game they had no business winning anyway. Good sign imo.

Gotta get the rust from playing shitty sub par team somehow.

The only sign is that Manu will cost us more games. Pop trusts him, he`s no longer got it.

[crc21209]

I wasnt a fan of Pop going with Manu and Belli and leaving Green and Kawhi on the bench. We needed at least 1 perimeter defender. I wouldve gone with Green and Belli to end the game...

[tim_duncan_fan]

How can yall be upset?

I thought Timmy was retiring tomorrow and he's not. His shot is back. I'm fucking ecstatic.

What we need to talk about is Parker's iffyness as a franchise player. He racked off ten points in a row to keep us in the game, but later, his missing gimmes and being selfish late kinda hurt us.

[baseline bum]

season hi in asts tbh

Doesn't make up for those 8 he had in Game 6 tbh

[spurraider21]

DMC is spot on... the hack a howard actually killed our momentum. we were getting plenty of stops and we were scoring at will in the frantic pace of the game

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs lost for a number of reasons, none of them include most of the reasons that have been named, tbh:lol..

- Rockets were scorching hot in the 1st half, partly due to horrible Spurs' rotations/decisions, and partly due to Houston making shots..it put the Spurs in a huge deficit..

- Spurs were out of gas by the end of the game, they erased a 20+ point deficit..do you guys realize how much energy it takes to erase a 20-point deficit in this league, let alone against a good team?..

- Spurs' offense looked terrible with Leonard and Green on the floor in the 4th, neither guy was able to stretch the floor and make a shot, they both had great looks with poor results..

- Harden took over down the stretch..he got his calls and he made his shots, he showed why he's the best player in the league at his position..

- Pop's match-up decision allowed Parsons to dominate much shorter defenders like Green, Beli, etc, instead of going against Leonard..he was the best player in this game until Harden took over..

It wasn't lost due to a play or 2 by Manu/Parker and Howard making a few FTs..

Entertaining game, means nothing in the long run, tbh..

[Budkin]

Thank God the Thunder don't have Harden anymore. All I'm sayin.

[Diego20]

Doesn't make up for those 8 he had in Game 6 tbh

Here we go again with the same.. zzz

[spurraider21]

so Pop didn't pull Duncan and we still gave up an offensive rebound to lose the game :lmao

[SpursRock20]

DMC is spot on... the hack a howard actually killed our momentum. we were getting plenty of stops and we were scoring at will in the frantic pace of the game

It's our offense that killed us. We couldn't put the ball in the hole no matter who was shooting it towards the end.

[Bartleby]

I think it is very sad that people on this board beat up their own players so badly after they have obviously played their hearts out. When Manu is successful he is the greatest of all time, when he gets a turnover he is killed by the same posters.

Some of you guys are seriously sorry excuses for fans.

Most of the Spurs fans here suck. They don't even know how spoiled they are.

[Staplepuffs27]

By two with no Steph Curry tbhSuns tbh

[RD2191]

Spurs still have the same problem as last year. No one to take over when the 3 aint fallin.

[Mugen]

:lol Kawhi being benched for Matty tbh

[timtonymanu]

:lol cliff jumping over the regular season

Save it for the playoffs, tbh.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well, good news is that Duncan played well for most of the game. Beli was also great in the 4th quarter.

[Reck]

The only sign is that Manu will cost us more games. Pop trusts him, he`s no longer got it.

Manu is sporadic with the ball no doubt he will cost us some games but I still would rather have him in a pinch over some of the NBA players out there.

[RD2191]

how come no one is blaming kawhi? homie missed 2 clutch shots when they mattered the most.

[timmy2003]

The only sign is that Manu will cost us more games. Pop trusts him, he`s no longer got it.

Manu is no longer the player who can create his own shot.

[crc21209]

:lol Kawhi being benched for Matty tbh

He was having a horrible game offensively and made some bad decisions so I dont mind him being benched but not for Bonner. Pop needed 1 of Green or Kawhi at the end and had both of them on the bench...:td

[td4mvp2k]

Doesn't make up for those 8 he had in Game 6 tbh:cry

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs were absolutely MURDERED on the boards.

No rebounds, no championships.

Tough loss, loved the comeback, but Spurs need to clean that up.

[Mikeanaro]

Fuck Kiwi, dude has no balls, is hiding the whole game and no one says shit, I thought he had potential, my ass he is just a role player who gives a fuck about losing

[RD2191]

Fuck Kiwi, dude has no balls, is hiding the whole game and no one says shit, I thought he had potential, my ass he is just a role player who gives a fuck about losing
robdiaz style take tbh, but I agree

[Mugen]

He was having a horrible game offensively and made some bad decisions so I dont mind him being benched but not for Bonner. Pop needed 1 of Green or Kawhi at the end and had both of them on the bench...:td

Kawhi deserves the benefit of the doubt when's having a bad game IMO. He's not a role player. If TP can hero ball out there and Manu can get his Game 6 on then i think Leonard should be allowed to play through his struggles tbh.

[Mikeanaro]

robdiaz style take tbh, but I agree
Yeah, I dont get it, he is so passive right now like you know... running the court with his dead face doing nothing, if he doesnt step up this season he will never be the next team star he is already 23 is not like he just came from school

[PingPong]

Chandler Parsons shitting in the Howard' head. Nigga wanted some pal instead of the White boy. LOL

[Mugen]

Funnest game of the season tbh despite the L part

[YallMean]

My Question is: why do you guys hack Howard when the Rockets were still down? The last two hack put on top by a point. Thank you. Hehe.

[RD2191]

Yeah, I dont get it, he is so passive right now like you know... running the court with his dead face doing nothing, if he doesnt step up this season he will never be the next team star he is already 23 is not like he just came from school
I doubt he can be the face of the franchise tbh. His offensive skills are just too limited. I see him as a Thabo Sefolosha type of role player.

[bklynspursfan]

Losing Diaw really hurt. Bonner struggled with his shot.

[Budkin]

I hope Diaw makes it back quick. 2.0 has been huge.

[Obstructed_View]

uh Harden missed the technical free throw, and Howard missed some free throws.

Harden hit two of four and Howard hit four of six. Not sure how you don't think six points makes a difference in the game, but okay.

[Budkin]

Spurs are fine. They came all the way back and had the game despite shooting horrendously from 3 and playing bad defense.

[TheGoldStandard]

Hate the results of tonights game, everyone had time to rest last night should have had energy to play defense in the first half. Pop needs to sure up these rotations and not let the other team dictate who he plays.

[RD2191]

Spurs are fine. They came all the way back and had the game despite shooting horrendously from 3 and playing bad defense.
More excuses?

[RD2191]

Spurs just aren't good against upper tier teams right now. Coincidence that we lose to the Thunder, blow out Orlando, and then proceed to lose to the Rockets? I doubt it. Poor shooting and this and that. Blah blah blah.

[siraulo23]

fun game to watch tbh, very entertaining

spurs had so many chances to put the game away but was too tired/ or couldnt execute, great comeback, thats all i needed to see in a nov game, team competed and didnt give up

[ElNono]

Spurs were absolutely MURDERED on the boards.

No rebounds, no championships.

Tough loss, loved the comeback, but Spurs need to clean that up.

You're not going to win the boards battle with a guy like Dwight out there... plus the Rockets shoot a lot of 3s, which means a lot of long rebounds...

The key against these Rockets is protect the 3 point line... I think they did a better job of that in the 2nd half.

[siraulo23]

also the first time spurs d looked horrible this year, in the first half that is 2nd half d was pretty good

[Budkin]

More excuses?

If we'd won this game you'd still be bitching tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Frustrating to see that they were able to apply defensive pressure in the 2nd half but not in the 1st, as if they were just zombies out there thinking they already won the game by showing up..

[RD2191]

If we'd won this game you'd still be bitching tbh.
yes, because they played a terrible game

[Roxsfan]

Rockets by 7

Damn. You almost called it. Kind of like the spurs almost won

[Kool Bob Love]

Damn. You almost called it. Kind of like the spurs almost won

Texans.:lmao

[Roxsfan]

Yep. They suk. U just found out? Dumb ass.^^^

[Budkin]

yes, because they played a terrible game

That was the point I was trying to make. They played a terrible game against a good team and had the game at the end. Not worried unless Diaw is out for a while.

[Brunodf]

Damn. You almost called it. Kind of like the spurs almost won
What can i say, i know how the coach thinks

[TampaDude]

Hurry back, Boris....glad it was November and not March.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[wut]

meh, this game doesn't matter, insert a different set of refs, different outcome....typical NBA BS.

[DaDakota]

Good game between two of the Western Conferences best teams.

Nothing can be taken away from the game other than these two teams will battle all year.

This was a great game to attend. The at&t center was louder and livelier than I'd seen since the Finals. Also, we can officially say the Spurs-Rockets rivalry is back to its highest peak since the 90s. I even saw a Spurfan and Rocketfan threatening to fight each other after the game. :lol

All hat and no cattle. Was pretty ridiculous...:ihit:rolleyes
