Game Thread: Rockets at Spurs 8:30 EST (7:30 CST, 5:30 Vegas time) April 8th!

[Horry Hipcheck]

God damn Baynes has been outstanding in Tiago's absence.

[ElNono]

great D that quarter... held them to 18 and Harden played pretty much throughout

[01Snake]

We're not hitting shit from beyond the arc.

[Uriel]

Pop should've gone back to Hack-A-Howard.

[ironman2886]

Fuck. Kawhi lost his hot three point shooting.

[beirmeistr]

unleash the Banger!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

If the Spurs just keep them off the 3 point line, I think they got this as long as Harden doesn't go crazy.

[HI-FI]

Baynes is so underrated.

[Raven]

rockets with 0 blocks. pretty impressive against a team that is supposed to be all athleticism and 0 brain

[K...]

earlier it looked like houston was using their size against us. But now we are punishing them like the alpha team we are. I guess it's a combination of figuring out Howard, the weak houston front court in general, and just finding our asses (thank you parker, gino, and cojo)

[313]

Our bigs have been great on this 18-3 run we've been on. Splitter, Tim, Boris, Baynes, all great.

[Knoxxx]

We're fine Pop....

Stop it with the Hack A Howard.

Might as well get in their head too. Think of as a big middle finger from Pop to Rockets with love.

[weeks]

baynes has earned himself some real money this season

[TheGreatYacht]

Fuck. Kawhi lost his hot three point shooting.
Tired IMO

[$pursDynasty]

funny but I get the feeling that the refs wouldn't call the goaltends on Ibaka, like they are on Dwight tonight. Serge always gets away with that crap.

[SpurPadre]

Too bad the Hornets got thrashed by the Grizzlies.

[BatManu20]

Damn Kawhi 0/4 from 3. That one was tough though.

[TMTTRIO]

Time to sit Manu. No need to play him.

[BatManu20]

If Danny or Kahwi start hitting from 3, we can blow this thing open.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Personally I don't like us to have to rely on Parker this much.
But he has been a huge spark.

Is it not strange Malik, DaBoom, apoplectic are all missing...

The Spurs won't go far if Parker has to churn out 30 points a night. Houston just has a severe disadvantage at the PG position and barely any offense to counter with.

[Uriel]

The upcoming @HOU game is going to be huge.

[TDfan2007]

One of the best 3rd quarters of the season.

[ElNono]

another double-digit lead in I don't know how many games in a row

[TXstbobcat]

Cojo!!!!!!!

[SpurPadre]

Is it me or was that the best 3rd quarter the team has had all season?

[Ron Swanson]

CoJo!

[Silver&Black]

CoJo....

[BatManu20]

Cojo made a step back jumper :wow

[Budkin]

We gotta win this one cause I feel like Friday is a definite L

[RD2191]

dat cojo pass

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Holy shit Joseph

[Horry Hipcheck]

The upcoming @HOU game is going to be huge.

Only if Memphis loses again/the Spurs finish this game off. Harden's only got 22, he could easily blow up.

[$pursDynasty]

Cojo regulating Peppermint Patty to towel waiver again

[milkyway21]

thanks God Josh Smith sucks !!:lol:downspin:

[Brazil]

another double-digit lead in I don't know how many games in a row

22... Tbh

[GSH]

The Spurs won't go far if Parker has to churn out 30 points a night. Houston just has a severe disadvantage at the PG position and barely any offense to counter with.


Nobody said he HAD to. Looks to me like he's taking what they're giving.

[ironman2886]

Too bad the Hornets got thrashed by the Grizzlies.
I know. I thought Davis and Asik could win that matchup.

[RD2191]

fucking shoot cojo, dammit

[BatManu20]

Shoot the open 3 Cojo smh

[SpurPadre]

The upcoming @HOU game is going to be huge.

I'm already expecting them to have an epic number of free throws even without hack-a-Howard.

[NASpurs]

WTF is this Argie on Argie violence? ElNono?

[SpurPadre]

Argentine on Argentine violence.

[hitmanyr2k]

Harden is playing too much for the foul lol. He's seeking contact and Cojo isn't falling for it and it's throwing Harden's rhythm off.

[313]

another double-digit lead in I don't know how many games in a row
22

[Raven]

cory is playing FANTASTIC on harden. whenever he takes a jumper in the paint, he comes from the weakside and harden always misses

[NASpurs]

Maaaaaaaaaaaanu!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu3333333333333333

[Knoxxx]

Spurs only 4/14 from 3 29%.

Outrebounded Houston 37-24

Shooting 54% overall.

That means we are basically bludgeoning them on the inside like the sand kicking in the face beach bullies we are.

Almost forgot to mention 6 blocks to none.

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuu...

[RD2191]

COJO TO MANU

[Silver&Black]

CoJo with the hustle....Manu tres.

My niggas.

[r0drig0lac]

BANGGGGG

[01Snake]

manu!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Ron Swanson]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[313]

Cory!!! Manu!!!!

[ironman2886]

Manu ascending.

[ElNono]

crush em, crush em all!

[Beaverfuzz]

NAH NAH

NAH NAH NAH NAH

HEY HEY HEY

GOODBYE!

:bobo :lol :flag:

[beirmeistr]

manu!

[RD2191]

Cojo you da real mvp:cry:cry

[BatManu20]

Fuck yea Manu. Great hustle Cory.

[$pursDynasty]

Might see some Slo Mo pretty soon, lol

[crc21209]

Manu deserved that 3. He had gotten whacked by Smith on that floater attempt and the ref either didnt see it or didnt call it...

[phxspurfan]

Speedy!


Speedy!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Nobody said he HAD to. Looks to me like he's taking what they're giving.

No, he doesn't have to, it's just working because Houston has no offense outside of Harden and they've basically locked Brewer and Ariza down. If they had Beverley, Harden going for 35+, plus some inside game from Howard, Parker could go for 40 and it wouldn't mean shit.

[ElNono]

[Nathan89]

League= fucked with the return of ginobili's three

[TDfan2007]

Another blowout coming?

[TheGreatYacht]

Mahgad, King, they have families

[SpurPadre]

Come on TD, piss off Howard again!!!

[Raven]

I know. I thought Davis and Asik could win that matchup.

davis is massively overrated tbh. great talent, but has no real defensive impact for now. He'll learn how to play, but just isn't his time yet.

[Horry Hipcheck]

That three was money from the moment CoJo took the ball back. Manu never even left the corner.

[phyzik]

THIS...IS...SPURTA!!!!

[ElNono]

Mahgad, King, they have families

:lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Baynes has been huge this game. The big rotation looks great heading into the playoffs as long as Tiago is healthy.

[313]

cory is playing FANTASTIC on harden. whenever he takes a jumper in the paint, he comes from the weakside and harden always misses
Who wouldve thought. I always liked Cojo's defense but he's hit and miss sometimes. Looks like we found our Harden stopper :hat

[Brazil]

Cojo back to lead +/- Roberto can breathe :lol

[beirmeistr]

insite of some Cojo hate, I think he is having a good game.

[01Snake]

Fuck!! I wanna bitchslap this dumbass Miracle Body & Paint douch!

[crc21209]

Harden is playing too much for the foul lol. He's seeking contact and Cojo isn't falling for it and it's throwing Harden's rhythm off.

Whats new? Thats all he ever fucking does is look for the contact more than actually making a play or just straight up scoring..

[ironman2886]

Cojo you da real mvp:cry:cry
Dude is playing with confidence.

[FaM0us Skins]

Up by 19.

[SpurPadre]

League= fucked with the return of ginobili's three

League= just hand them the LOB already if Patty gets his 3 ball back

[weebo]

Harden is worthless when he's not freebies at the line.

[ironman2886]

Fuck!! I wanna bitchslap this dumbass Miracle Body & Paint douch!
It's brutal.

[NASpurs]

Det deeeeeeeefense

[Ron Swanson]

Dat defense tho

[BatManu20]

Cojo's hustle has been outstanding tonight.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Corey's playing like a man!

[Knoxxx]

We gotta win this one cause I feel like Friday is a definite L

You trippin that's the battle for first place in the division

[RD2191]

fuck

[beirmeistr]

did manu block that ball?

[BatManu20]

Dammit Danny.. trying to bank in floaters from 10 feet out

[Spurs9]

Cojo's hustle has been outstanding tonight.

Amazing how much he has improved since coming into the league tbh

[Silver&Black]

Rockets will shoot a 3 every single time down the court now....

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fuck!! I wanna bitchslap this dumbass Miracle Body & Paint douch!

Every FSSW telecast is a thing of my nightmares. I lament only getting nationally televised games on the west coast until I have to watch a local SA broadcast.

[NASpurs]

Don't fall asleep

[RD2191]

fuck fuck fuck. keep it going spurs

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

[ElNono]

Josh Smith<3

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Rockets don't look like they're trying anymore, they just wanna chuck up 3s and luckily for them they're making some right now.

[FaM0us Skins]

TarHeelTriple.

[tim_duncan_fan]

DG for 3 finally!

[GSH]

Danny hadn't hit shit all night, but he wasn't missing that one! Nice of Kawhi to wait on him. Damn they're just destroying the Rockets.

[Ron Swanson]

Night and day on defense from the 1st quarter.

[Horry Hipcheck]

THERE IT IS DANNYYYYYYYY

Kyle Anderson has a huge forehead.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Now I need the Spurs to drop another performance like this second half in Houston.

[Raven]

kawhi about to patent dat 20point 4stl game

[lefty]

@bdetrick: This NBA season has been a house party with blaring music, keg-stands and broken furniture. Then the Spurs' Volvo pulled up in the driveway

[Knoxxx]

Brb headed to Rockets forums

Be sure and report back that may even be thread worthy!

[GSH]

Kawhi with his least glamorous 20 point outing ever

We used to talk about Timmy like that all the time. Didn't seem like a good game, and you look up and he's got 20+. Kawhi could have 30 by the buzzer, if Pop left him in. He's just started to take over.

[ironman2886]

[TXstbobcat]

Verde3333333

[Ron Swanson]

Green's all about that 3 now.

[Horry Hipcheck]

This is wayyyyy to early in the 4th to have Errors on the floor.

[$pursDynasty]

oops now just the third string

[313]

Kawhi and Danny on= league fucked.

[Knoxxx]

LOL Rockets concede with 6 minutes left everyone clears their benches!

[HI-FI]

Red Closer coming in.

[GSH]

Danny and the third string

Yeah, we were laughing about that. His shit game meant he had to stay in for scrub time.

[ElNono]

WTF is this Argie on Argie violence? ElNono?

:lol

Manu was great tonight, tbh

[MultiTroll]

Brb headed to Rockets forums
:lol nicely done.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'm gonna be pissed if the 3rd unit doesn't keep the lead at 20.

[$pursDynasty]

Slo Mo

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!

[Ron Swanson]

SloMo!

[BatManu20]

KA getting some burn. And he scored.

[RD2191]

KYLE LEONARD

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Fathead

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[BatManu20]

KA is soooo slow :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

Another steal.

[NASpurs]

:lol all them rejections

[HI-FI]

:lol what a great sequence.

[Uriel]

God damn, Anderson is slow.

[ddjeffries]

lol wut

[313]

What a silly sequence :lol

[SpurPadre]

Wow, it's Anderson! About time. He needs these garbage minutes, tbh.

[GSH]

LOL... fucking Errors!

[Knoxxx]

GREEN WITH THE DAGGER THREE!!!!!!

(we all knew it was coming of course)

[tholdren]

Baynes every bit as good as tiago...

[Horry Hipcheck]

We used to talk about Timmy like that all the time. Didn't seem like a good game, and you look up and he's got 20+. Kawhi could have 30 by the buzzer, if Pop left him in. He's just started to take over.

Couldn't be happier tbh

[Knoxxx]

MATT BONNER WITH THE REJECTION!!!!!!!

[ironman2886]

I fucked my girlfriend by the time KA went coast to coast.

[NASpurs]

Third stringers being shitty again

[01Snake]

bench letting them back in it

[RD2191]

tf defense

[spursparker9]

lol spurs

[BatManu20]

Of course... Our 3rd stringers literally always make blow outs look respectable :lol

[BanditHiro]

lol fuck we are going to choke this one dammit.

[Uriel]

Leave it to the 3rd stringers to ruin our point differential. :td

[r0drig0lac]

haha starters need to return

[loveforthegame]

Blowing the lead. :td

[Seventyniner]

Damn, how many times has a 20-point lead in garbage time turned into a 12 or 13 point victory?

[Capt Bringdown]

Mills stinkball.

[RD2191]

3rd string making games look close per par

[Knoxxx]

Dang our 5th string not playing well they going to blow this?

[Ron Swanson]

I fucked my girlfriend by the time KA went coast to coast.

Shit, that's an hour.

[Robz4000]

Choke in progress

[z0sa]

All the great feelings tonight notwithstanding, I am -seriously- worried about Patty.

[crc21209]

Thanks alot 3rd string :td

[Silver&Black]

This KA, RW, Bonner, Errors, Mills lineup.

We need to invent a new word for "scrubs" tbh....

[Knoxxx]

Pop a zit timeout to rheam some fools!

[beirmeistr]

we need better players on the floor

[Seventyniner]

:lol James Harden -26
:cry Matt Bonner -6...RIP Kang

[Pound the rock]

Damn that 20 point looked good

[ironman2886]

All the great feelings tonight notwithstanding, I am -seriously- worried about Patty.
Him and Splitter.

[RD2191]

Mills is just trash this season. Cojo needs to keep playing so he gain more confidence and stay in a rhythm. Mills has been struggling with 3rd stringers.

[The Reckoning]

worst garbage time lineup in the league

[BatManu20]

The main difference is Mills usually leads the 3rd unit and keeps it respectable by scoring some points for us. Not this year though.

[Knoxxx]

We are trying to rest for Friday and get Houston overconfident again its all strategic.

[NASpurs]

Damn that was sick

[Silver&Black]

:wow Dat Dunk

[Uriel]

:lol James Harden -26
:cry Matt Bonner -6...RIP Kang
:lol Real plus-minus

[milkyway21]

the Spurs just embarrassed the MVP front-runner.
HARDEN :34 min 6-15 fg total 22 pts (thank you for the FTs ). :lol

[SpurPadre]

Damnit Patty, WTF happened to your 3ball?! Bring it back!!!!!

[313]

lol 12 point game

[ace3g]

Ayres, lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Dammit Ayres why can't you be good.

[NASpurs]

:lol Ayres highlight of the season

[01Snake]

Pendergraph, LOL

[Uriel]

:wow ERRORS

[FaM0us Skins]

Ayres! lol.

[BatManu20]

How is that not a tech on Ayers..? :lol

[Silver&Black]

I would have called a tech on Errors for hanging on the rim.....

Fucking scrub.

[r0drig0lac]

Ayres carrying these scrubs

[Horry Hipcheck]

$100 million into the AT&T Center and that entire surrounding neighborhood is still shit tbh

[ElNono]

damn keep em under 100
