Game 45: Spurs @ Rockets, Jan 28, 7 PM CT

[TXstbobcat]

Howard. :lmao

[hoopdreams11]

can we at least try Baynes on Jones

[loveforthegame]

We need that Duncan-Howard gif right about now. :lol

[GB20]

I have never been a Bonner hater, but he's finished as a rotation NBA player, tbh..
he was done 5 years ago

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao The Rockets announcers are such tools. "They called it a hook on Howard!" *replay shows Howard clearly hooking Duncan.* "No way!"

[Cry Havoc]

We need that Duncan-Howard gif right about now. :lol

[BatManu20]

Lol Howard

[Libri]

Howard you piece of crap, give me some stats! :bang

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Lol howard all mad

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty offense

[TXstbobcat]

The Rockets announcers keep bitching about being shorthanded playing against the Spurs team with three starters out.

[HarlemHeat37]

he was done 5 years ago

He was a great 4th big for years, tbh(unfortunately, the Spurs had him as the #2 big during that stretch)..

[DPG21920]

I have never been a Bonner hater, but he's finished as a rotation NBA player, tbh..

My dude - can you find Manu's on/off stats for the last 5 games? He has to be a net negative right now.

[LakerHater]

8 point game with Rockets shootin 28%!

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy to the bank!!

[RD2191]

:lmaoSO EASY to get into Dwights head. What a mental midget, fukin scrub getting owned by a 37 year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juggity]

Thorough 2-way clinic by Duncan on Howard

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

shut his ass up timmy

[DPG21920]

:wow Tim shittin on Dwight never gets old

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan SCHOOLING Howard. :lol

[313]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2540973/howarddealwithit.gif

[ElNono]

Team struggling... where's Capt Parker?

[loveforthegame]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2540973/howarddealwithit.gif

Thanks. :tu

[TXstbobcat]

Red rocket 3333333

[DPG21920]

This lead should be 20+ tbh..

[RD2191]

Imagine 2003 against Howard! Kids fukin head would explode.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[LakerHater]

Lay up drill for Tony!

[DPG21920]

Man, Dwight is not engaged at all defensively.

[BatManu20]

Get off the floor and get back Parker

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!!!!

[LakerHater]

Nice Pass Timmeh!

[r0drig0lac]

dat pass

[Cry Havoc]

Beli!

[313]

Patty should have shot that but we scored so I'm not mad

[DapDaGenius]

Marco....so quick.....so fast.....so COLD BLOODED!!

[DPG21920]

Seriously, Dwight is giving like 34% effort on defense.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is playing one of the best games you'll ever see from a 35+ year old NBA player, tbh..

[TheGoldStandard]

Ball movement.

[Juggity]

Seemed like back in the day Dwight used to be a bad matchup for Duncan. Now, at age 37, it almost seems like Duncan has him figured out. Pretty spectacular.

One of the two players learned to exploit his opponent's weaknesses.

[HarlemHeat37]

My dude - can you find Manu's on/off stats for the last 5 games? He has to be a net negative right now.

I'll look it up in a bit, I'm on my phone right now..

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim playing with skill and intelligence. Great ball movement on offense and closing out on defense

[Libri]

"Mysterious lack of offense by the Rockets." lol

Uhm, beard boy on the bench.

[LakerHater]

Dwight's first FG!

[DapDaGenius]

Ayres is so weak.

[Juggity]

Dwight's post-up game is "throw body into defender; chuck ball in direction of rim"

[Cry Havoc]

Love the forearm shiver Dwight gave Tim there.

[LakerHater]

Late goaltend!!

[DPG21920]

Bench completely screwed the pooch. Spurs should have a much bigger lead. Manu misses again.

[Cry Havoc]

Obvious fucking goaltend.

[ElNono]

My dude - can you find Manu's on/off stats for the last 5 games? He has to be a net negative right now.

Bucks +18
OKC 0
Hawks +17
Miami -21
Rockets -4

Total: +10

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu is ice cold

[Libri]

Dwight's first FG!

Tonight, he's killing my fantasy team. Real talk.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

I like this lineup right now

[loveforthegame]

Awesome to see Manu stepping up with all the injuries.

[BatManu20]

We cannot hit a 3

[BatManu20]

Or a shot for that matter

[DPG21920]

25% FG for Manu, 0 Ast, 1 TO.

[ElNono]

those used to be automatic for Tony

[Clipper Nation]

Bucks +18
OKC 0
Hawks +17
Miami -21
Rockets -4

Total: +10
S:loln, your client already has his big contract now, you can stop trying to :downspin: dat shit :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

No more Jeff Ayres and we keep this lead

[DPG21920]

Bucks +18
OKC 0
Hawks +17
Miami -21
Rockets -4

Total: +10

That's his +/-, not the same thing. Also meant the last 4 + this one so far...

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu and Beli have been invisible, and Tony went cold after a nice start..

Spurs can't rely on Duncan to dominate all game, tbh..

[ElNono]

That's his +/-, not the same thing. Also meant the last 4 + this one so far...

Those *are* the last 4 + this one so far...

You're welcome, tbh

[LakerHater]

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=media%2Fgettyphoto%2F2014%5C01%5C28%5C465684 469.jpg&w=392&h=589

[GB20]

if manu keeps play like this for one more month, then i think he is done.

[Cry Havoc]

Only 5 times since 1985 has a player over the age of 38 grabbed 20 rebounds in a game.

[DPG21920]

Those *are* the last 4 + this one so far...

You're welcome, tbh

You are right, but that is +/-, not what I was asking for. You missed the mark like a Manu shot..

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu and Beli have been invisible, and Tony went cold after a nice start..

Spurs can't rely on Duncan to dominate all game, tbh..

I blame Jeff Ayres, we should be up 30 but he cant guard

[RD2191]

Awesome to see Manu stepping up with all the injuries.
:lmao

[313]

Will Duncan get an get another 20-20?
Will the three ball start falling for the spurs?
will the Spurs stop Terrence Jones?

find out on the next episode of dragonball z

[timmy2003]

Good first half by Timmy but Tony is still struggling

[BatManu20]

428348990157901824

[ElNono]

You are right, but that is +/-, not what I was asking for. You missed the mark like a Manu shot..

You said a "net negative"... what was as positive as Manu has been for the last 5 games...

[LakerHater]

Yeah of the Horse huh..... Guess thats good news for Denver!

[Johnny RIngo]

Bucks +18
OKC 0
Hawks +17
Miami -21
Rockets -4

Total: +10

Manu shouldn't even bother to suit up any time we play Lebron and co.

[DPG21920]

You said a "net negative"... what was as positive as Manu has been for the last 5 games...

Wait for the right stats from HH. He may be a positive, but I doubt it.

[ElNono]

S:loln, your client already has his big contract now, you can stop trying to :downspin: dat shit :lol

just posting the facts somebody requested, tbh... like you said, Manu is going to be here for another season and a half in his leading role... I don't really need to spin anything :lol

[DPG21920]

just posting the facts somebody requested, tbh... like you said, Manu is going to be here for another season and a half in his leading role... I don't really need to spin anything :lol

I didn't request his basic +/- tbh..

[RD2191]

Not bad considering we are down 3 starters, on the road, and Manus bricks. And TP is also sucking again. Same ol same ol, Duncan putting the team on his back,

[LakerHater]

Spurs shooting 48%

Rockets shooting 34%

Tim Duncan with a dble dble already with 10 & 11

[HI-FI]

ElNono still :downspin:and repping his client through thick and thin. Damn i need that type of PR tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

What's Ayres +/-

[ElNono]

Manu shouldn't even bother to suit up any time we play Lebron and co.

Marco -22
Duncan -20
Parker -18

Bad game against the b2b champs... it happens

[DPG21920]

How the Spurs are only up 7 is beyond me. Held HOU to under 40% FG, have only 4 TO's and one less made FT than HOU.

[TheGoldStandard]

I'm convinced Baynes ran over pops dog, slept with his wife and and talked Shit about wine

[Tim_duncan21]

yay. TD with the double double

[ElNono]

ElNono still :downspin:and repping his client through thick and thin. Damn i need that type of PR tbh.

It's expensive, tbh :lol

[Cry Havoc]

More interesting possibilities tonight: Tim Duncan has a chance to be the only 38+ year old to post a 20/20 game.

He will be the only player over 36 not named Parish to have a 20-20 game. And he'll be doing it at 38.

[Beaverfuzz]

Fuck you C-Webb!

[TheGoldStandard]

Fuck you C-Webb!

What did he say?

[ElNono]

How the Spurs are only up 7 is beyond me. Held HOU to under 40% FG, have only 4 TO's and one less made FT than HOU.

We're actually up because of Tim and Boris...

[Robz4000]

How the Spurs are only up 7 is beyond me. Held HOU to under 40% FG, have only 4 TO's and one less made FT than HOU.

Slow pace tbh.

[Johnny RIngo]

428348990157901824

I thought he passed Russell a week or two ago? The list I saw(from Elias Sports Bureau) had Russell at 780.

[ElNono]

Hope Pop finally got pissed with Ayres...

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Spurs only up 7 without Harden... Wow.

[Beaverfuzz]

What did he say?



He was whining about not being able to trudge through snow. Had nothing to do with the Spurs actually. :flag:

[Mugen]

Spurs should be up by 15+ tbh.

[DPG21920]

I don't love the sites I use for stats tbh..maybe I need to try NBA.COM/STATS more.

Basketball-ref, 82games, & Hoopdata aren't cutting it for me.

[freetiago]

Spurs are missing 3 starts too tbh...

only reason Rockets are in this game is because of Errors
the defense on every player has been extremely good except for the Errors vs Terrence Olajuwon

[DPG21920]

LMAO Spurs only up 7 without Harden... Wow.

Spurs missing 3 starters.

[ElNono]

I don't love the sites I use for stats tbh..maybe I need to try NBA.COM/STATS more.

Basketball-ref, 82games, & Hoopdata aren't cutting it for me.

nba.com/stats is actually pretty good now... the interface is a little heavy/sluggish though, IMO

[HarlemHeat37]

Have to assume that Parsons gets more looks in the 2nd half, and he shouldn't have any problems against much shorter Spurs defenders, tbh..

[RD2191]

I thought Duncan was 37?

http://blog.muchmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/the-fck-was-that.gif

[ElNono]

Pop needs to give TD some rest... play Baynes on Dwight

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Diaw has been pretty damn solid this game. hope he can stay out foul trouble, spurs need his scoring punch and playmaking ability since a bald headed argie decided not to show up again.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop probably slipped Ayres the sausage and forgave him

[freetiago]

Parsons isnt that great creating off the dribble
hes more spot up shooter who will look to pass when he penetrates
Duncans rim protection has been elite tonight so as long as they stick to Parsons and force him into his non-existent mid range game he could be held in check

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs missing 3 starters.

Still have their superstars.

[313]

We would be up by at least 20 if the threes were falling

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop needs to give TD some rest... play Baynes on Dwight

Ayres it is and bon bon

[DPG21920]

Ya - Spurs really only have a shot right now because Dwight isn't even bothering to try on defense. TP got good looks, but missed a few layups so that should correct itself if Dwight won't try.

Scary thing is Dwight isn't trying and we still can't separate. That's with Dwight not trying and HOU playing as dumb as possible offensively (beli guarding parsons..).

[ElNono]

I wanna see more from Tony... there used to be a time where he would lit up Lin every time... haven't seen it this game... he's the leader of this team, it's time he starts really dominating his matchup

[BatManu20]

I thought he passed Russell a week or two ago? The list I saw(from Elias Sports Bureau) had Russell at 780.

Just checked. It's 785 for Russell. Karl Malone is next with 811.

[Johnny RIngo]

More interesting possibilities tonight: Tim Duncan has a chance to be the only 38+ year old to post a 20/20 game.

He will be the only player over 36 not named Parish to have a 20-20 game. And he'll be doing it at 38.

Couple things. Duncan's 37 years old, not 38. Also, he already had a 20-20 game this season. And I wouldn't get too worked up over 10-10 at the half. TD had 17/16 against the Hawks after three quarters, a few days ago, and he sat all of the fourth.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[DPG21920]

TP worked hard to get the big lead, then the bench came in with no assists, a turn over and sub 30% FG.

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

These are the Spurs I know

[DPG21920]

Did Pop start Manu this half? Why are the Spurs coming out so bad?

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs suck lmao

[ElNono]

You can't leave your guy open in the corner Tony... you just kent do stuff like that against the Rockets

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Tony is frustrating to watch right now.

[DPG21920]

Look, missing 3 starters (even with Harden out) is tough. Do what you can to beat a good team on the road.

[DapDaGenius]

We play so good.

[TheGoldStandard]

You can't leave your guy open in the corner Tony... you just kent do stuff like that against the Rockets

Nobody rotated to Beverly

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[ElNono]

Nobody rotated to Beverly

Tony tried, but was late... I just don't know why everyone is inside.... we know this team is all 3s

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol diaw

[TheGoldStandard]

We suck again

[ElNono]

The bench at least maintained the lead at 10pts... the missing starters are showing, tbh

[RD2191]

We suck again

[RD2191]

Is Parker ever not on the ground?

[ElNono]

come on... make a little run here

[TheGoldStandard]

Play OJ tbh

[Chris16]

Wow, even w/o Harden the Spurs are struggling against the Rockets.

Like I said before, only team in the West clearly better than Houston is Oklahoma City.

[ElNono]

Belli is just not right

[313]

We suck again

[Beaverfuzz]

Another T.O? Yikes

[Juggity]

Man, Beli's offense looks like complete trash now

[Libri]

:(

[loveforthegame]

So much for that promising start. :td

[LakerHater]

There goes the 15 pt lead!

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs should just get out of here. Embarrassing. 0-3 against a divisional rival.. Fool's gold team.

[313]

Wow, even w/o Harden the Spurs are struggling against the Rockets.

Like I said before, only team in the West clearly better than Houston is Oklahoma City.

[TheGoldStandard]

Nobody attacking the basket

[timtonymanu]

Per par

[313]

We're missing three starters lmaooo

[RD2191]

Still embarrassing, Spurs should be up big tbh.

[ElNono]

We can turn this around...

[BatManu20]

kowv6l2CBD0

[DPG21920]

Come on Manu. Find your shot. Make plays. Don't foul. Spurs need you.

[ElNono]

lol Pop empty the bench

[superbigtime]

could someone send a memo to pop that corey joseph sucks

[Chris16]

Sorry guys, the Spurs aren't making it to the Western Finals this year. Teams that get that far knows how to beat elite teams in the regular season.

[playblair]

neal is missed :depressed beli = :nope

[Beaverfuzz]

Let Lin shoot that shit all day long.

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Pop throwing in the towel with Nando now... LMAO

[ElNono]

rebound the ball dammit

[BatManu20]

This team can't rebound for shit. If not for Duncan we'd probably be worst in the league.

[Johnny RIngo]

Just checked. It's 785 for Russell. Karl Malone is next with 811.

Ok, just found out what's wrong. My list only counts point-rebound double-doubles. Russell had 780 of those. In addition to that, he had five rebound-assist double-doubles which puts his total up to 785. Makes sense.

[TheGoldStandard]

My grandfather went senile at 65 too. This lineup is retarded

[benfti]

put in Baynes fuckin!

[LakerHater]

Tims 2nd!

[DPG21920]

Wow that call.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice drive Manu, draw the fouls.

[ElNono]

there we go Gino

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

damnnn manu was gunna dunk thatttttttt

[DPG21920]

Don't bobble the ball in your hands with your FT. Stroke it confidently.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol... Baynes on the bench and Bonner in lol...

[playblair]

blair & neal haters regretting their decisions to hate ...................blair/neal>>>>>>>>>>>>>beli/ayers

[DPG21920]

If Manu didn't get to the rim on that one, I would have died.

[Beaverfuzz]

And that's why Lin sucks!!!

[ElNono]

there we go

[LakerHater]

Did he say Man-o?

[ElNono]

hope Tony is watching this

[Libri]

Manu, "The king of the flops."

Houston commentators are bitter and salty.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu drawing some fouls

[RD2191]

Dementia, been saying this since last season. Pop probably doesn't even know where the fuck he is at.

[Beaverfuzz]

STFU Beverely you scrub!

[DPG21920]

Wow bad call. No foul, but lucky us. Keep attacking.

[Cry Havoc]

Still embarrassing, Spurs should be up big tbh.

Eh, at home sure but it's always hard to beat teams on the road even with their scrubs in the game. They always play above their heads and Houston is not a horrible team.

[HI-FI]

DeColo time. :hat

[ElNono]

damn, that was a solid shot... good form and everything

[BatManu20]

I remember back when Manu was a good 3-point shooter.

[RD2191]

Don't bobble the ball in your hands with your FT. Stroke it confidently.
Please watch adult films on your own time. I for one, am here to talk Spurs.

[DPG21920]

Manu's shot. Just killing the Spurs right now.

[Johnny RIngo]

TP owned by Chalmers the other night. Now Lin is shitting on him. Frenchie has no pride

[ElNono]

what a pass!

[Beaverfuzz]

Pretty pass Manu!

[loveforthegame]

That pass.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!

[DPG21920]

Parson scoring 0 with Beli guarding him, now scoring with Manu guarding him. Great pass though :wow

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs have so much dead weight in the rotation, tbh..

Ayres, De Colo, Bonner, Joseph..ugh..

[HI-FI]

Manu's shot. Just killing the Spurs right now.

"well actually according to Hollinger and new algorithims I've concocted...."
-ElNono, 2014

[Beaverfuzz]

Pack your bags Dwigt (see what I did there), you were traveling.

[TheGoldStandard]

TP owned by Chalmers the other night. Now Lin is shitting on him. Frenchie has no pride

[BatManu20]

[slick'81]

Dude wtf get him out

[loveforthegame]

Manu hurt!! Of course.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan cooling down, where the fuck is the offense going to come from now?..

[TheGoldStandard]

There is the 7 million dollar man

[DPG21920]

Manu Glassobli. Shit. Parsons was already scoring all over him, now he's not defending because he's hurt.

[ElNono]
