Spurs vs. Rockets: Game Thread 11/6/14

[Rito3d30]

Obviously, no one expected the Spurs to win this game. But to go down 30? What a disgrace.

30?
I think McHale will enjoy every second of humiliating the Spurs
He will not pull the starter that early

[pgardn]

Ayers with the fluid J.

Jesus...

[DPG21920]

This is the worst game I have seen Boris play as a Spurs. Wow. I mean, I'm glad it came in a meaningless game, but hey zeus.

[Chomag]

TNT just being salty but it is a bit warranted though lol

[DapDaGenius]

Now Dwight clowning. Spurs laying down...

You sure that didn't happen when we decided to sit Manu/Splitter/Duncan?

[ElNono]

:lol now Tony gets "hot"

[RD2191]

Make it stop, plz

[timtonymanu]

I mean consistently dominant. Like "Day in, day out, I'll get 25. Sometimes I'll get 40." dominant.

He seems to lack the dribble drive, independent game to get 1st option numbers.

There are definite flashes of outstanding play for sure, but I don't know if I buy him being a consistent franchise workhorse.

You know how superstars sometimes make hoops look easy? I don't know if I see that with Kawhi and that worries me as far as committing to him as "the guy."

Well considering the market being set with the other 2011 picks that got big contracts, Kawhi is easily better than any of them and is proven.

I do agree with you though that he isn't a #1 option.

[Roxsfan]

This doesn't change the fact that Harden and Howard are unwatchable, as evidenced by the opinions of the majority of non Houston NBA fans.

Enjoy the win! :tu

whatever makes you happy. Harden's step back J and euro step is a thing of beauty. D12 is fun to watch - choke on a bag of diks bro

and I mean that in a nice way.....

[Baam]

Anderson is good at getting steals tbh.

[GuerillaBlack]

This doesn't change the fact that Harden and Howard are unwatchable, as evidenced by the opinions of the majority of non Houston NBA fans.

Enjoy the win! :tu

Where is the study at?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Oh boy

[Splits]

:lmao Errs

[BanditHiro]

lol Errors what a waste of semen

[Brazil]

That's painful to watch :lol

[ElNono]

:lmao errors

[BatManu20]

Seeing Ayers play this much is hurting my eyes

[spursparker9]

lol just waive Error already

[DPG21920]

Tony with the Pop, why is this guy on the team look for Ayres.

[manufan10]

:lol Errors

Or should that be :lol Enrique?

[r0drig0lac]

hahahahaha ayers omg

[Monkeyboy14]

errors didn't even jump wut

[DapDaGenius]

LMFAO Ayres was like "shit...the ball is in the air, what do I do now".

[Rito3d30]

Great fucking work Ayres
Nice
Totally expected

[FaM0us Skins]

We're out of sync tonight

[FireMicoHalili]

solid chance for Leonard to prove he's a max extension kind of guy. How's he doing so far? Is he worth it

[myhc]

:lmao ERRORS

[spursparker9]

did u guys saw that stare by Parker ?

[Ditty]

Ayers>>>Baynes

[Splits]

Parker starting to heat up!


:lol now Tony gets "hot"

[MI21]

Where is the study at?

SpursTalk, tbh

[siraulo23]

:lmao ayres

[BatManu20]

That play gave me ebola.

[DapDaGenius]

lol just waive Error already

Man, what happen to JaMychal Green again? Not saying he'd definitely be better, but damn, I wanted to see him get a shot.

[MI21]

Seriously, wtf just happened then? lol Errors

[Brazil]

I'm gonna watch some NFL

[BanditHiro]

seriously how stupid do you have to be to not be able to make a simple monkeyball play?

[BatManu20]

We're out of sync tonight


:lmao

[ElNono]

That play gave me ebola.

:lmao

[KaiRMD1]

WHAT........THE.......FUCK......AYRES

[tim_duncan_fan]

If Anderson doesn't take 20 shots in the 4th then I quit the Spurs, tbh.

[RD2191]

Shoot a 3 every possession please, I just wanna see what happens.

[Perry Mason]

Let the Rockets have their fun. These games have little meaning other than to reinforce to the Spurs that they have much work to do. By March the picture will be entirely different. The Rockets overplay their starters and their bench is highly suspect. I see Portland of last year in them.

[horsielove]

rofl errors :lmao

[Baam]

Kawhi forcing bad shots...

[Chomag]

Yep, watching NFL game now :lol

[siraulo23]

That play gave me ebola.

Ive never heard this joke before props

[pgardn]

The Nation was waiting for Portland Dallas.
These are the warmup bands.

[spursparker9]

Harden can D up FMVP on the post.

[PingPong]

Houston looking like last year's Portland.

[Uriel]

Jesus, this is hard to watch. :depressed

[MI21]

whatever makes you happy. Harden's step back J and euro step is a thing of beauty. D12 is fun to watch - choke on a bag of diks bro

and I mean that in a nice way.....

The Rockets are horrible to watch. Obviously you enjoy watching your own team, that's fair. I also enjoyed watching them last postseason.

[manufan10]

Kawhi gets no respect from the refs, imo.

[BatManu20]

:lol Dwight Howard dancing like a dumbass

[weebo]

Travel no call

[KL2]

Harden can D up FMVP on the post.

He literally just landed on him lmao

[Baam]

Joseph is just as bad a defender as Beli tbh...

[Uriel]

I like how :pop: is still playing Kawhi though. Let him regain his rhythm.

[siraulo23]

Dawight, what a clown :lol

[beirmeistr]

POP, PLEASE TAKE OUT parker and Diaw before they get injured in this fiasco.

[KaiRMD1]

We just made Harden look like an MVP

[KL2]

Leonard is a really underrated play maker.

[Uriel]

Well fellas, I'm off to work on my paper. Adios.

[spursparker9]

Wow Howard got his own documentary?

[r0drig0lac]

houston players laughing like it was the playoffs or something

[KL2]

Oh fuck, those pasty white people behind Howard

[Baam]

Lol Spurs starring in a commercial for a Dwight movie...

[spursparker9]

:lol Error pulling a kG goaltend on dead clock

[hyhy]

Leonard is a really underrated play maker.

Cant even understand how to play the clock.. Had the ball with no shotclock left, now gives harden 2fts

[milkyway21]

Pop should've rested Duncan & Manu vs Atl instead of Houston.

Or is he still looking for anti-dote on how to beat the Rockets? :)

This team.is so trigger-happy to kick their asses for so long now . :ihit

Dwight Howard movie huh?? :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Spurs clearly aren't contenders anymore. :cry

[crc21209]

Dwight Howard got a documentary? :lol WTF. Does he talk to the young kiddos about not strapping up and nutting in 5 different bitches in this documentary by any chance?

[spursparker9]

When is the last time the Spurs got down by 30 in a game?

[weebo]

I wonder if Howard's documentary will include that one time he went pedobear on an underage mickydees employee..

[ElNono]

When is the last time the Spurs got down by 30 in a game?

WCF?

Rodents jumping ship, Aye Captain.

[ElNono]

I guess when Pop said he was going back to the beginning he wasn't kidding...

[KL2]

Cant even understand how to play the clock.. Had the ball with no shotclock left, now gives harden 2fts

Thats why he's gotta learn, he's had a lot of good passes this game, including that last one. Players don't turn into stars over night, it takes reps, experience, learning from mistakes. That's why I get pissed when they don't give KY the ball, he needs to learn, needs to be put under pressure. He will make mistakes, it's a learning process.

George was pretty shitty for a while, took him time to transform his game.

[timtonymanu]

The regular season superfags are in full force tonight. You go girls, drop that confetti.

You could say the same for Spurs fans on here overreacting to this game. :lol

We have about 4 more months to get into form. Expect everyone to say that this shows Spurs can't hang with the Rockets.

[Pound the rock]

Houston acting like they're beating the ship squad

Standing on the surface of the sun would burn my feet.

This team.is so trigger-happy to kick their asses for so long now . :ihit

Dwight Howard movie huh?? :lmao

You don't understand how Pop works. He would not want to beat Rockets not at this juncture.. Too early..

[beirmeistr]

NOW DOUBT THAT THE only Franchise player with the Spurs is the great Tim Duncan.

[PingPong]

Leonard is a really overrated player.

[DPG21920]

Harden with more TO's than assists. Idiot.

[DapDaGenius]

*sigh* Daye is trash. :lol

[gilmor2002]

NOW DOUBT THAT THE only Franchise player with the Spurs is the great Tim Duncan.

Truth Bomb. I think closest to come to him is DRob.

[beirmeistr]

I MEANT NO DOUBT

[tim_duncan_fan]

No over the back?

[DPG21920]

Chill out Reggie

[TheGreatYacht]

Don't confuse playmaking for Kawhi's non aggressiveness :lol

[BatManu20]

How is that not an over the back? Wtf

[manufan10]

:lol How was that off of Kawhi?

[DapDaGenius]

Leonard having a bad game after missing sometime, Spurstalks turns on him and completely erases everything before this game from memory.

[manufan10]

The Spurs are just going through the motions.

[Ditty]

God Baynes sucks!

[KL2]

Never realized how alike Terry and Harden are

[tmtcsc]

You could say the same for Spurs fans on here overreacting to this game. :lol

:lol

No Tim
No Manu
No Splitter
No Belineli
No Mills

Houston's throwing a party tonight and the Spurs' bench is getting a wake-up call from Pop. Things will look very different in April and all the fans bitching now are going to feel foolish. That, or everyone will have forgotten this meaningless game by then.

[Baam]

Gotta be the worst blowout in recent memory tbh, turnovers and bricks every possession...

[timtonymanu]

Can we waive Daye? There's really no point of having him on the roster.

[urunobili]

Max Leonard sucking bad tbh

[spursparker9]

lol will T-mac think of joining Houston this year ?

[Darius Bieber]

The Rockets' 6-0 isn't really too amazing, they've only beat scrub teams.

[DPG21920]

:lol Bron cucking Blake for Kia

[Pound the rock]

Can we waive Daye? There's really no point of having him on the roster.

Bundle him with Ayers..

[KL2]

Daye is a poor man's Anderson

[TheGreatYacht]

Leonard having a bad game after missing sometime, Spurstalks turns on him and completely erases everything before this game from memory.
But you do that to To... Par... Nvm.

[pgardn]

The Spurs are just going through the motions.

Guys that don't play going through the motions is not a good thing with Pop when you get a chance.

[PingPong]

The Rockets' 6-0 isn't really too amazing, they've only beat scrub teams.

Like Portland last year...

[Baam]

KAwhi forcing shit instead of moving the ball...

[hyhy]

Why isnt ka playin?

[littlecoyotecoin]

Good thing Josh Davis getting a lot of minutes tonight.

[hyhy]

Oh there he is. Pass him the ball cjenrique

[Roxsfan]

http://sportsgif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Chandler-Parsons-Disses-Fan-GIF.gif

this father n son - right behind rox bench. Same ones that CP dissed.

Oh fuck, those pasty white people behind Howard

[DPG21920]

CJ has had some really, really nice plays today. When he's assertive on offense, he really can be an asset.

[tim_duncan_fan]

CoJo showing a little sign of talent.

Just playing with our emotions, tbh.

[dg7md]

Meh. Whatever. It's early anyway and SPAM.

[DapDaGenius]

But you do that to To... Par... Nvm.

Not sure what you're getting at. Are you trying to say that SpursTalk does that to Parker or that I do that Tony Parker? If you're referring to me, I definitely don't do that with Parker.

[Roxsfan]

The Rockets' 6-0 isn't really too amazing, they've only beat scrub teams.

dafuq - u play to win the game and u play ur fucking schedule...........GTFO

No one gives a fuck about this streak...

[BatManu20]

Kawhi purposely sabotaging the team because we didn't give him the max. It's obvious.

[timtonymanu]

Leonard having a bad game after missing sometime, Spurstalks turns on him and completely erases everything before this game from memory.

What's funny is that players like Klay and Parsons who both suck in the playoffs are getting paid big but Spurs fans are hating on Kawhi for struggling in the REGULAR SEASON!

[DapDaGenius]

I really don't see how people can hate CoJo.

[tim_duncan_fan]

If they can get this down to eleven I'll come in my pants.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Did Kawhi ignore Pop as he walked to the bench?

[KL2]

http://sportsgif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Chandler-Parsons-Disses-Fan-GIF.gif

this father n son - right behind rox bench. Same ones that CP dissed.

Thats them :lmao

[tim_duncan_fan]

What foul?

[BatManu20]

Daye sucking on both ends.

[KL2]

Did Kawhi ignore Pop as he walked to the bench?

Nah just looked upset with himself for missing that layup.

[ElNono]

yawn

[Russ]

Bundle him with Ayers..

That reminds me of the old joke:

First prize, one free ticket.

Second prize, two free tickets.

[timtonymanu]

Daye sucking on both ends.

Seriously hope he's on the way out soon. The Spurs need more guards at this point. Daye is redundant.

[Baam]

I really don't see how people can hate CoJo.

Doesn't play good D, doesn't really know how to pass the ball, passes up 3pts shots quite a lot, hunchback...

[DapDaGenius]

What's funny is that players like Klay and Parsons who both suck in the playoffs are getting paid big but Spurs fans are hating on Kawhi for struggling in the REGULAR SEASON!

Exactly. Very early regular season - missed time b/c of injury - not playing with biggest players. Not sure why they're being so hard on him. Unless they're doing some sort of sarcasm and it's going over my head(I hope it's that).

[TheGreatYacht]

Not sure what you're getting at. Are you trying to say that SpursTalk does that to Parker or that I do that Tony Parker? If you're referring to me, I definitely don't do that with Parker.
ST

[PingPong]

Beta Beard and Coward will start to suck hard and Chandler Parsons will not be there to save Houston asses.

[hyhy]

Baynes get called for alot of fouls that dun look like fouls

[SpurPadre]

Fucking Miller trying to stir the pot between PATFO and Kawhi.

[Roxsfan]

The regular season superfags are in full force tonight. You go girls, drop that confetti.


love that sig pic bro!

[Russ]

Seriously hope he's on the way out soon. The Spurs need more guards at this point. Daye is redundant.

I really like Daye, but this is not a step forward . . .

[Thebesteva]

Meh, Rockets r November contenders but hopefully they fizz out by March

[Purch]

Is Daye not aware that he's awful?

[Roxsfan]

Thats them :lmao

That's some funny shit right there!

[manufan10]

Daye's gonna be able to build a mansion after this game.

[DapDaGenius]

Doesn't play good D, doesn't really know how to pass the ball, passes up 3pts shots quite a lot, hunchback...

He has a nice haircut, tho?

But seriously, I think he's pretty decent. He's never been good with 3's, so I'm not surprised that he's hesitant. He could work on the passing(seems to try to be more of a scoring PG), but he's definitely not shit-tier. Some people try to make it seem like he's the PG version of Errors.

[pgardn]

So it's garbage time. Time to empty the ben...

Wait a second?

[tmtcsc]

Did Kawhi ignore Pop as he walked to the bench?

Sure looked like he didn't feel like hearing anything from Pop didn't it? He even walked down to Kawhi and it looked like he was getting ignored.

Which begs the question: How does one know when Kawhi is giving you the silent treatment?

[DapDaGenius]

ST

Yeah, some people here definitely grill Parker a lot.

[timtonymanu]

Diaw has to get rid of that stache much like Pop with his beard.

[manufan10]

I really like Daye, but this is not a step forward . . .

I like him too, but he's not helping his case at all.

[littlecoyotecoin]

I really like Daye, but this is not a step forward . . .

He had a pretty awful 3 minutes the other night, too, and I'm a fan. He just pulled up and missed from long two. He could have at least missed from three.

I just can't be too hard on him, though, based upon that 4th quarter in PHX, and this entire game by the rotation players. They all look like shit

[tim_duncan_fan]

Somewhere in the galaxy, there are martians shooting hoops with talents of Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs' bench. I'm completely convinced of this.

[Baam]

The amount of bricks tonight was unbelievable tbh...

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'm starting to wonder if this team can win 50 games. Looks like these young guys were able to handle failure but not success.

[ElNono]

:lol Big 3 look really worried on the bench

[RD2191]

Daye is garbage.

[tmtcsc]

love that sig pic bro!

I was about to say the same thing to you! Lol.

[Russ]

Howard is a big celebrater when he wins.

A big pouter when he loses.

I would say he wears his heart on his sleeve, but that would mean he has . . .

[mkurts]

Leonard looking very much like the max extension player, and Daye is just awesome.

This is great

[manufan10]

I'm starting to wonder if this team can win 50 games. Looks like these young guys were able to handle failure but not success.

:lmao

[tim_duncan_fan]

Hey y'all shouts out to Pop, tbh.

Fuck the league for giving us games against the strongest division rival on the back end of a back to back.


Had it been me, I would've signed 5 guys to 10-day contracts and "rested" the whole team.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Daye's gonna be able to build a mansion after this game.

Let's keep it real. Daye is 2/9, Kawhi, your max player, is 2/11. Green 3/13.

[tmtcsc]

Howard is a big celebrater when he wins.

A big pouter when he loses.

I would say he wears his heart on his sleeve, but that would mean he has . . .

Nice!

[Dancelot]

Leonard looking very much like the max extension player, and Daye is just awesome.

This is great

:lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

:lmao
Obviously they're going to win 50 games, but it looks like they may be having trouble handling success.

[Mugen]

Must be fucking nice to be 6'10 and have extra melanin tbh. You guy paid 1mil a year to steal money from a franchise like the Daye/Errors duo

[Roxsfan]

I was about to say the same thing to you! Lol.

:bobo:flag::toast

[BatManu20]

Daye is not good at basketball.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Austin Daye is dead to me.


What's Anderson's shot count this quarter?

[Baam]

Pop testing Anderson at PG is the best thing of the night :tu

[RD2191]

Leave Daye in Houston.

[hyhy]

Whats the point of moving the ball and getting open shots whrn we cant make open shots?

[Roxsfan]

Leave Daye in Houston.


LOL

[tim_duncan_fan]

Leave Daye in Houston, chained to an oil well.

[BigTDoe]

Austin Daye Sux! That is all.

[BatManu20]

Bonner stat padding :lol

[littlecoyotecoin]

Hey y'all shouts out to Pop, tbh.

Fuck the league for giving us games against the strongest division rival on the back end of a back to back.


Had it been me, I would've signed 5 guys to 10-day contracts and "rested" the whole team.

As hard as this was to watch, I do agree with you, and Pop's long-game.

[BigTDoe]

Jeff Pendergraph Sux. That is All!

[DarrinS]

Lol, Bonner garbage 3

[spursparker9]

lol Dwight dancing already

[manufan10]

Let's keep it real. Daye is 2/9, Kawhi, your max player, is 2/11. Green 3/13.

:lol It was a joke. I like Daye, but he needs to make better use of his time on the court.

[timtonymanu]

The Daye experiment hopefully is over.

[mclinejr]

lol at Howard taking his jersey off and flexing at the camera.

[DPG21920]

Daye having his option picked up is lol

[Rito3d30]

Hope Daye and Ayres move to the end of the bench once the rotation guys are back

[RD2191]

There is no reason why Daye, Ayres, Bonner, should be on this team. Boylen can gtfo too.

[spursparker9]

When is the last time SA vs Houston in the playoffs?

I think its time...

[timtonymanu]

Hope Daye and Ayres move to the end of the bench once the rotation guys are back

Obviously they will be out of the rotation. but it would be better if at least one of them gets waived. Preferably Daye even though Ayres is worse.

[littlecoyotecoin]

:lol It was a joke. I like Daye, but he needs to make better use of his time on the court.

That's definitely true. But, there are plenty that mean it when they say stuff like that. Daye was not even in the top 6 worst players on the floor tonight based on expectations. Parker, Green, Kawhi, Baynes, Errors, and Diaw. All of those guys should be embarrassed with their play.

[Mugen]

Daye and Errors should be on the Lakers tbh.

[mkurts]

More long two pt jumpers please

More Daye please

[timtonymanu]

Daye and Errors should be on the Lakers tbh.

As much as I despise those two, that's a cruel punishment.

[BigTDoe]

At this point, JaMychal Green would be a better prospect than Daye or Pendergraph.

[mavsfan1000]

Lol Spurs.

[pgardn]

Lol Spurs.

Thanks for the warmup last season.
Maybe you can wake us up again.

[mkurts]

Leonard looking very much like the max extension player, and Daye is just awesome.

This is great.

[rmt]

Kwahi not making a statement for his desired max contract.

[sook]

Daye and Errors should be on the Lakers tbh.

:lmao

[FireMicoHalili]

Lol at Baynes Ayres Bonner and Daye drawing flak. Danny Green and Leonard are both chasing bigger pay checks yet they played like garbage.

[BatManu20]

^It's no secret that neither Kawhi nor Danny are nearly as good/effective without Manu and Timmy there to set them up, but they both play really important roles to our success when everyone plays. Daye, Baynes, and Ayers are pretty much useless regardless of who's on the floor with them, and those are roster spots that could be used by guys who would actually contribute.

[SnakeBoy]

Baynes, Ayers, and Bonner can all be useful at times. Daye on the other hand is proving to be a shooter who can't hit open shots, not much use for him if he can't do that.

[Sean Cagney]

Lol Spurs.

Portland blew out a full Mavs Squad....

[littlecoyotecoin]

^It's no secret that neither Kawhi nor Danny are nearly as good/effective without Manu and Timmy there to set them up, but they both play really important roles to our success when everyone plays. Daye, Baynes, and Ayers are pretty much useless regardless of who's on the floor with them, and those are roster spots that could be used by guys who would actually contribute.

You're mistaken thinking only Green and Kawhi look better with everyone healthy. And, you forget the 4th quarter of the PHX game wher none of the scrubs really played and the regulars looked like shit.

[FireMicoHalili]

^It's no secret that neither Kawhi nor Danny are nearly as good/effective without Manu and Timmy there to set them up, but they both play really important roles to our success when everyone plays. Daye, Baynes, and Ayers are pretty much useless regardless of who's on the floor with them, and those are roster spots that could be used by guys who would actually contribute.
How much do the Spurs pay these guys again though? Which guys can actually contribute? Have you seen the FA pool? Do you wanna pick up Lorbek and Ray Allen? Bo McCalebb? Gal Mekel? Players with, might I add, zero experience under the Spurs system.

If you're going to seek a max extension at least show you're entitled to it. Teeds and Ginobili will probably be gone next year and if this is what they have to show for, I don't think they deserve the payday they seek.
