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

[Cry Havoc]

Someone go key the car of these Houston announcers. Fuckers shouldn't be employed anywhere.

[RD2191]

This seems like a defining moment, tbh. FEELS LIKE THE FUCKING END.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!

[Juggity]

Is clyde drexler celebrating Manu's injury? wtf. He sounds ecstatic about it.

[RD2191]

Someone go key the car of these Houston announcers. Fuckers shouldn't be employed anywhere.
What are their names? I got a connect in Houston.

[313]

Can Amused get banned now?

[slick'81]

Hope he didn't tear shit

[TheGoldStandard]

7 mil?

[DPG21920]

This is what everyone feared with Manu. People wanted to say he proved people wrong, but unfortunately, it's the same thing.

Get well soon I guess. I mean, he was already mirroring last year with the first hammy injury, now this. Doesn't look good for Manu's chances of recovering to be a productive player. His shot was already broken before this one. Shit.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good foul Baynes! lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Can Amused get banned now?

Why is this fucker allowed to start game threads?

[Robz4000]

Fuck this game

[Cry Havoc]

What are their names? I got a connect in Houston.

Bill Brown and Allan Ashby.

[Beaverfuzz]

lol, now Parker is injured? wtf

[slick'81]

Belli

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!!

[313]

This is what everyone feared with Manu. People wanted to say he proved people wrong, but unfortunately, it's the same thing.

:depressed but h- he improved his diet

[LakerHater]

Parker hurt now too??

[Darius Bieber]

lol Parker now too. Get Amused out of here

[DPG21920]

TP is durable as hell. He won't go down now.

[Budkin]

Now Parker is hurt :lol

[RD2191]

Bill Brown and Allan Ashby.
:lol:tu

[TXstbobcat]

What's next? is the coyote going to get injured????

[HI-FI]

This is what everyone feared with Manu. People wanted to say he proved people wrong, but unfortunately, it's the same thing.

Get well soon I guess. I mean, he was already mirroring last year with the first hammy injury, now this. Doesn't look good for Manu's chances of recovering to be a productive player. His shot was already broken before this one. Shit.

other than the Manutards, we feared this because have seen it before too often. Hope he can help in some way this season.

[313]

Amused should be banned from the internet tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs got this... Insert OJ and watch him carry us.

[polandprzem]

Can this season end now?

[slick'81]

Get every spur off the floor before there's no one left

[crc21209]

Amused is a dick IMO. The fucker continues to make game threads and look what happens. He must enjoy watching the Spurs fall to injuries and continue to be short handed. Whoever lets him make the game threads is at fault too. :td This fucking sucks...

[TheGoldStandard]

Front office with the shitty goods

[HI-FI]

seriously, if you started game threads and bad things kept happening to your team, would you keep doing it?

[DPG21920]

This is brutal. I said I was alarmed with the injury to the same hammy, not only because of his play and what it did last year (and subsequently this year), but because now it appears to be a real issue with that area of his body. Re-injury is a massive concern especially when you see what it does to his play even though the first hammy issue this year wasn't supposed to be that bad.

[ElNono]

Manu never had recurring issues... broken hand, nose, etc... this hammy though, this is turning into chronic. Like I said when the thread started, he had a good career :depressed

[thunderup]

Amused is a dick IMO. The fucker continues to make game threads and look what happens. He must enjoy watching the Spurs fall to injuries and continue to be short handed. Whoever lets him make the game threads is at fault too. :td This fucking sucks...
:lol He's a great poster.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

This is breaking my heart.

[polandprzem]

Fuck a Howard is stupid

[blkroadrunners]

:lol Damn some of y'all are going HAM on Amused, like y'all wanna crucify his ass

[BatManu20]

No more hack-a-howard

[DatBoyGood]

Is this real life?

[RD2191]

I say we start a brawl, fuck it, lets go down swinging.

[Budkin]

Parker just dribbles and dribbles, and dribbles

[DPG21920]

Manu never had recurring issues... broken hand, nose, etc... this hammy though, this is turning into chronic. Like I said when the thread started, he had a good career :depressed

Sure, but some guys are just injury prone at all the wrong times. But I agree, you were arguing with me about it not being the "same injury" but that wasn't the point. The fact it's Manu, in the same area, with the results to his game is what was the concern last year and this year.

[playblair]

:depressed

[Chris16]

Hack A Howard only works on the Los Angeles Lakers.

:lol

Seriously, it wasn't that effective when he was in Orlando either.

[HI-FI]

Pop is getting hammered tonight.

[Darius Bieber]

I say we start a brawl, fuck it, lets go down swinging.

Not with a roster of Euro soft pussies... Need SJAX, Horry, etc.

[Cry Havoc]

I say we start a brawl, fuck it, lets go down swinging.

We could hit them with our crutches.

[RD2191]

Who has amusedsleepers address? Who wants to start a mob with me? I have pitch forks and overalls if interested.

[RD2191]

We could hit them with our crutches.
:lmao

[ElNono]

Sure, but some guys are just injury prone at all the wrong times. But I agree, you were arguing with me about it not being the "same injury" but that wasn't the point. The fact it's Manu, in the same area, with the results to his game is what was the concern last year and this year.

We just don't agree on this. It wasn't the same injury. It makes sense (IMO) to give him the benefit of the doubt.

With this recurring now though, it is certainly worrying. I'm worried. I wouldn't surprise me if he decides to retire.

[hoopdreams11]

is Pop drunk or what

[313]

Wow, this sucks. The announcers are making it even worse.

[TheGoldStandard]

Quit fouling

[Budkin]

Enough of this hack a shit... costing us points!

[lefty]

Parker faggot :lol

[BatManu20]

Wtf Pop no more hack a howard

[Chris16]

Hey Poppovich, Dwight isn't in LA anymore, he's motivated enough to make at least half of his free throws this year!

:rollin

[lefty]

Baynes :lol

[loveforthegame]

This is so hard to watch. :bang

[ElNono]

lol Pop

[HI-FI]

well least we have Ayres' progress to look forward to.

[Darius Bieber]

Offense sucks, defense sucks.

[Budkin]

I really hate this shit.

[TheGoldStandard]

God this is embarrassing, show some class

[DapDaGenius]

Parker and Manu are so much more focused on getting a foul than actually trying to make a shot sometimes.

[HarlemHeat37]

Every possession is tough to watch, Diaw needs to be more aggressive..

[DPG21920]

We just don't agree on this. It wasn't the same injury. It makes sense (IMO) to give him the benefit of the doubt.

With this recurring now though, it is certainly worrying. I'm worried. I wouldn't surprise me if he decides to retire.

No way. It would have to be a crazy bad for that to happen. Despite being pretty awful after the hammy injuries, that would be a massive decision.

[Ginobili3]

I'm really sad right now lmao

[LakerHater]

428359533518282752

[slick'81]

I can't watch this bs

[boutons_deux]

hack a howard extends their lead

[TheGoldStandard]

Okay so we need to start looking ahead to 2014-2015. Sit Tim and tony rest of the season

[testies]

is pop retarded?

[313]

Damn, who's getting hurt tonight?


Rockets by 10. Manu breaks his arm or something.


Oh dear god.....


Amused? WTF?? Ugh there goes Timmy for 4 weeks.

[Budkin]

I'm wearing a different pair of socks today, everything will be fine fellas :tu

Fuck your socks!!!

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs now suck and have no plan on defense.. Basically saying our defense sucks too much to stop you.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Effing homers - the Houston annoucners. Can't bear this

[Juggity]

I'm okay with hack-a-howard. Sometimes he'll make them. Most of the time, he won't.

[LakerHater]

428359859147251712

[ElNono]

No way. It would have to be a crazy bad for that to happen. Despite being pretty awful after the hammy injuries, that would be a massive decision.

Yeah, it's not how bad, IMO. It's that feeling you can't stay healthy. Fucked with his head last season. Can't think it's not doing the same now.

[RD2191]

Man up, fellas. It hurts but you gotta down with the ship. :violin

[loveforthegame]

Way to block out Howard.

[Johnny RIngo]

Front office with the shitty goods

Spurs have never made back-to-back Finals. Mostly the front office's fault too. Championship teams should always aspire to get better but Spurs motto has always been to stand pat. Don't know why they were trying to play it safe when our window is so small. Why the fuck are we wasting roster spots on garbage like Ayres, Bonner, Joseph, and DeColo?

[Beaverfuzz]

WTF BAYNES?

[crc21209]

Too many guys out to win. Plain and simple. It would be like OKC missing Westbrook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, and Lamb for example.

[blkroadrunners]

Baynes.....

[Budkin]

Fuck this team...

[Hoops Czar]

This is brutal. I said I was alarmed with the injury to the same hammy, not only because of his play and what it did last year (and subsequently this year), but because now it appears to be a real issue with that area of his body. Re-injury is a massive concern especially when you see what it does to his play even though the first hammy issue this year wasn't supposed to be that bad.

Hamstring pulls are chronic. Once you have one, they linger with you for your career. Manu's had so any hamstring pulls over the last few years, his hammy probably feels like jelly. The only thing that will cure this is retirement.

[Chomag]

wtf is pop doing....

[RD2191]

Fuck your socks!!!
:lmao

[BatManu20]

Baynes and Ayers have the touch of of a caveman around the basket

[LakerHater]

Tryin to hack Dwight & refs call charge on Lin!!

[Budkin]

Too many guys out to win. Plain and simple. It would be like OKC missing Westbrook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, and Lamb for example.

"Only pussies & assholes..." :lol

[Chris16]

428359533518282752

Even w/o Westbrook Oklahoma City is still the best team in the West.

Once he comes back, it's over for the rest of the Western Conference.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why the fuck do they keep hacking him?:lmao..

Is Pop really afraid of Houston's offense w/o Harden to this extent?..

[313]

Damn, who's getting hurt tonight?


Rockets by 10. Manu breaks his arm or something.


Oh dear god.....


Amused? WTF?? Ugh there goes Timmy for 4 weeks.


and following a long line of history of players getting hurt when amused starts the game thread, didn't he start the one kawhi broke his finger in? yikes op is cursed or just straight up the grim reaper on the web


Welp there goes Manu for the rest of the season. Thanks amused.


Lol @ people thinking we have a chance at winning this game. Injuries+amused GT = LOSS+injury


damn, fuck the OP... oh well, Manu had a good career... :depressed

[Budkin]

This does nothing unless we score.

[Libri]

Houston announcers :lmao

[RD2191]

Pop is shell shocked, losing his damn mind on air.

[Chomag]

god dammit...this is retarded b-ball

[Cry Havoc]

Worst

announcing

in history.

[Chomag]

Stop Pop!!! geeze

[Beaverfuzz]

Someone take the lid off the basket!

[LakerHater]

Hard to watch!

[BatManu20]

I know home commentators are usually biased but Houston's guys take it to a whole new level. Holy shit these guys are homers. You'd think their paychecks depended on it.

[Juggity]

I love this shit tbh :lol

Anything that makes drexler angry

[Lars]

LOL

Love the free points, but hack a Howard strategy is just awful for the game.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Pop. FU. Enough of this BS.

[polandprzem]

Christ

This fuck a howard not doing anyhing possitive

[RD2191]

:lmaoHoward shitting on Pop

[Beaverfuzz]

31 points in the 3rd for Houston. Wow

[TE]

Like watching a horse being put down tbh

[crc21209]

If people think we're gonna win games against good teams with Joseph starting and guys like De Colo getting major minutes you are a jackass..:lol It's not even fun watching your team with so many guys out...

[Darius Bieber]

Hack-a-Howard +9 for Houston

[itzsoweezee]

Dwight is clowning Popovich

[Budkin]

wtf Spurs

[TheGoldStandard]

Can we petition to be in the east next season

[Beaverfuzz]

Ok, here we go Spurs!

[Darius Bieber]

This team wouldn't even win in the D- League

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker just dribbles and dribbles, and dribbles

Parker checked out after that Finals chokejob. He's only motivated when he's playing for France nowadays. 2012-2013 Ginobili all over again.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs have one of the worst lineups in NBA history on the floor at the moment:lol..

[loveforthegame]

Pop making a bad situation even worse.

[Budkin]

0-3 against Rockets

[blkroadrunners]

Regroup this 4thqtr please

[TXstbobcat]

That was fucking ugly to watch

[CitizenDwayne]

Welp. That was painful.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

This is embarrassing.

[Mugen]

Pretty embarassing display from Pop there tbh.

[TDTPMG21920]

Baynes is horrible

[slick'81]

From bad to worse

[timtonymanu]

Game over.

[Chomag]

Hero ball and Pop's cutesy hack-a-howard put this game out of reach I think

[Creation88]

can we be concerned now?

[crc21209]

Spurs have one of the worst lineups in NBA history on the floor at the moment:lol..

This. I don't know why people are expecting guys like De Colo to hang with a guy like Parsons out there.

[RD2191]

This is an epic meltdown, tbh. Parker needs to go MVP in the 4th.

[LakerHater]

Really ugly period, hoprfully they turn it around in the 4th

[Chris16]

San Antonio is finished in the playoffs.

Harden will kill them, Durant/Westbrook will kill them, Doc Rivers has a great chance of outcoaching Popovich, and Portland is too athletic for them.

[Johnny RIngo]

Pretty embarassing display from Pop there tbh.

Pop trying to be smart and backfiring in his face. Just like with the Finals.

[HI-FI]

Parker checked out after that Finals chokejob. He's only motivated when he's playing for France nowadays. 2012-2013 Ginobili all over again.

inconvenient truth bomb.

[podesta]

yes

[slick'81]

can we be concerned now?


Its only February.

[AusSpur]

I didnt think the game was going that badly until hack-a-Dwight started

[ElNono]

to me, Pop doesn't even want to be there right now...

[HarlemHeat37]

This. I don't know why people are expecting guys like De Colo to hang with a guy like Parsons out there.

Most posters here are morons, tbh, especially game thread posters..

[dbestpro]

CoJo is as worthless as tits on a boar hog.

[Budkin]

33-18 in 3rd

[DPG21920]

Pop shouldn't have stopped HAH IMO. The match ups favored the Rockets so much that it was statistically the right move IMO.

[RD2191]

Couple of buckets and we are right back in this.

[Chomag]

I didnt think the game was going that badly until hack-a-Dwight started

This

[Juggity]

Harden will kill them, Durant/Westbrook will kill them, Doc Rivers has a great chance of outcoaching Popovich, and Portland is too athletic for them.

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[RD2191]

:bang

[ElNono]

on perhaps positive news, Ayres hasn't seen the floor yet

[TXstbobcat]

Joseph!!

[Cry Havoc]

There you go, CoJo.

[Beaverfuzz]

There, fuck you Houston, Spurs are owning the quarter!

[Chris16]

Anyone thinks that the Spurs lucked out in the playoffs last year? I mean Memphis was the Spurs' biggest challenge in the Western Conference playoffs. Memphis was a good team but weren't contenders.

[313]

Damn, who's getting hurt tonight?
Saving him for crunch time

[crc21209]

Have the Spurs EVER had this many important rotation players all out at ONE time in the past 10 years or so?

[Cry Havoc]

"Spurs look old."

Actually, you fuckwit, all of our old players are hurt.

[RD2191]

Come on Spurs, get it together baby, FUCK HOUSTON

[Cry Havoc]

Anyone thinks that the Spurs lucked out in the playoffs last year? I mean Memphis was the Spurs' biggest challenge in the Western Conference playoffs. Memphis was a good team but weren't contenders.

Um. Golden State was a hell of a rough 2nd round opponent for ANY season in the NBA.

[twincam]

Gee what a shock. No team ball.

[RD2191]

"Spurs look old."

Actually, you fuckwit, all of our old players are hurt.
IDK how you do it, I hate listening to away broadcast. I get too pissed.

[ElNono]

Is Tim going to come back or we're just mailing this one in?

[Beaverfuzz]

BORIS!

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Duncan will come back in if the lead is trimmed.

[Cry Havoc]

Boooooooooris.

[DPG21920]

This is depressing. Not the game but Manu. He was so great to start the year. I really hope he can get healthy. Sit him out a month.

[Budkin]

Love Boris.

[Budkin]

:lmao Jones

[HarlemHeat37]

Anyone thinks that the Spurs lucked out in the playoffs last year? I mean Memphis was the Spurs' biggest challenge in the Western Conference playoffs. Memphis was a good team but weren't contenders.

This year's Spurs team has been a lot worse than last year's playoff Spurs, obviously..

The only players that haven't regressed are Manu and Mills:lol..

Making a statement about last year based on this season's team is moronic, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Spurs have the worst match ups defensively.

[Beaverfuzz]

DEFENSE!

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!!!!!!

[RD2191]

BORIS IS THAT FRENCH NIGGA:hat

[Libri]

Diaw trying his best

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw DOING WORK hunting moose and squirrel.

[313]

DiawVP

[ElNono]

we need stops... this lineup is not going to cut it

[Cry Havoc]

This year's Spurs team has been a lot worse than last year's playoff Spurs, obviously..

The only players that haven't regressed are Manu and Mills:lol..

Diaw?

[DPG21920]

This year's Spurs team has been a lot worse than last year's playoff Spurs, obviously..

The only players that haven't regressed are Manu and Mills:lol..

Manu has regressed since the first hammy injury too. Started off unreal though.

[Beaverfuzz]

Left hand Boris, come on!

[RD2191]

Fuck that chink

[Budkin]

Oh come on Boris that was a terrible fucking shot.

[Juggity]

Why hasn't Duncan played? I don't get it. He was dominating.

[HarlemHeat37]

Diaw?

True..

[Darius Bieber]

Game over - Spurs gonna lose tomorrow too.. Going down to 5th or 6th place.

[313]

On the bright side, at least these injuries are happening in January.

[DPG21920]

we need stops... this lineup is not going to cut it

There is no lineup that can get stops.

[Chris16]

This year's Spurs team has been a lot worse than last year's playoff Spurs, obviously..

The only players that haven't regressed are Manu and Mills:lol..

Yeah but 4 teams this year have at least a 50% chance of knocking them out. I mean the legendary 1st round exit Denver Nuggets won 1 more regular season game than Memphis! :rollin

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim is out because Pop knows the game is over

[BatManu20]

Lin thinking he's good for making a shot against our scrubs lol

[ElNono]

There is no lineup that can get stops.

Tim helps though

[Beaverfuzz]

COJO, NOW FUCKING PLAY DEFENSE!

[ElNono]

There is no lineup that can get stops.

Tim helps though

[TXstbobcat]

Cojo!!!

[DPG21920]

It would be nice if Cory decided to become an NBA player for a week.

[Juggity]

jesus, beli.

[Ginobili3]

By the power of Grayskull, fuck that

[Budkin]

WTF Marco!

[ElNono]

I love Belli, but something is not right with him

[RD2191]

Marco and Mills are garbage when it matters.

[r0drig0lac]

f**ck marco

[BatManu20]

Belli has looked terrible lately

[TheGoldStandard]

Belli needs ball movement. Catch and shoot shit

[HarlemHeat37]

Yeah but 4 teams this year have at least a 50% chance of knocking them out. I mean the legendary 1st round exit Denver Nuggets won 1 more regular season game than Memphis! :rollin

Last year's West was definitely weak, this year's West doesn't really look that strong outside of OKC, though..last year's Spurs team would be significantly better than any non-OKC team..

The Thunder should be overwhelming favorites for this year, obviously..

[Ditty]

Heard that Tim is injured also...

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Suicide watch.

[Libri]

Oh come on Boris that was a terrible fucking shot.

He's not comfortable passing it to the D-Leaguers that are surrounding him.

[DPG21920]

Beli is a limited role player. In his role with everyone healthy he could get the shots that work for him. Without key pieces, he's obviously nothing special at all and shouldn't be expected to carry a team.

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Amuseddaysleeper

[313]

I hope you're fisting yourself rn amused

[McGusto55]

Wow

[ElNono]

Health was always a concern, but mostly with Manu/Tim/Tony... we've just been ravaged this season with the young guys

[007nites]

Tim will come back in and drop 20 in this quarter and hit the game winner

[Amuseddaysleeper]

...shit

[RD2191]

Heard that Tim is injured also...
YOU BETTER BE JOKING

[Chris16]

Last year's West was definitely weak, this year's West doesn't really look that strong outside of OKC, though..last year's Spurs team would be significantly better than any non-OKC team..

The Thunder should be overwhelming favorites for this year, obviously..

Portland and Houston are matchup nightmares for San Antonio and the LA Clippers have a good playoff coach this year, definitely better than last year.

As a matter of fact, Portland was matchup nightmare for San Antonio even last year.

[DPG21920]

damn, fuck the OP... oh well, Manu had a good career... :depressed


TBH, if I had to choose one to go down..

:wow

[ElNono]

...shit

middlefingeremoticon

[Beaverfuzz]

Draw the cheap fouls Boner, nice job!

[RD2191]

...shit
I WARNED YOU YOU SON OF A BITCH:makemyday

[crc21209]

As long as Splitter and Green come.back within the next week-2 weeks the Spurs will be fine and still hold a top 4 seed.

[Juggity]

Heard that Tim is injured also...

get the fuck out... where did you hear that?

[ElNono]

:wow

As soon as I saw this thread, I knew it

Hate to be right a lot of times...

[Budkin]

Bonner's first FTs of the season.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I know you're not superstitious

[Beaverfuzz]

Nando, you piece of shit!

[Budkin]

:lol PlayNando

[ElNono]

I know you're not superstitious

true

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wow nando

[DPG21920]

Nando making a case for more minutes :lol

[loveforthegame]

People wonder why NDC sits on the bench. Fucking scrub.

[Sean Cagney]

As long as Splitter and Green come.back within the next week-2 weeks the Spurs will be fine and still hold a top 4 seed.
Whats fine? As in making the playoffs as a top 4 seed yes, beyond that? For some reason this year I don't see it in this team or see any reason why they can make a run at a title and this is before the guys started dropping. I hope they can right the ship and get some of those guys back, right now it looks bad (Down three starters I know).

[TheGoldStandard]

Well first b2b we lose

[TXstbobcat]

Tim back in!!

[cjw]

People wonder why NDC sits on the bench. Fucking scrub.

Cut him now...

[ElNono]

At least Tim is there

[POPownsJackson]

Wtf is this shit. Fucking popabitch had to fuck with the game.

[McGusto55]

Wow..This team fucking sucks..Just So pissed

[313]

Amused is secretly a Lakers fan

[Ditty]

nevermind :lol

[Diego20]

Any News about Manu?

[itzsoweezee]

not a good game for Baynes.

[DPG21920]

Calling it now - Nando catches fire..

[POPownsJackson]

TD back in were still in this.

[Beaverfuzz]

Any News about Manu?



Hospital visit, may lose the leg unfortunately. :(

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[crc21209]

:lol Joseph and De Colo at the 2 and 3. Wow...
