"rim no hit you back Ayers"

[Diego20]

lol travel

[cjw]

Why is Reggie Williams on this team? And wow Ayres power jam.

Mills struggling with third unit because guys around him are weak. And he's totally off.

[beirmeistr]

now that was a dunk

[Silver&Black]

RIP Mills' shot

[RD2191]

good god mills is shit

[Horry Hipcheck]

Ayres has done literally nothing in his entire life to have earned that dunk.

[Nathan89]

Dunk that like his career depended on it:lol

[SpurPadre]

RIP Patty's 3

[GSH]

WTF Patty chucking up a quick shot instead of running clock. He's fucking done.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh to go from destroying Miami in the Finals to playing alongside these scrubs. Patty. :depressed

[313]

Mills can't hit anything

[Horry Hipcheck]

McHale :lol

[cjw]

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

Cut through a back road to arena before Game 3 in 2013 (flood / traffic jam game) and my car got attacked by a pit bull. I kid you not.

[Pound the rock]

Impressive win

[Uriel]

I hate the third team. They keep ruining our point differential. From a 22-point lead to 12. :pctoss

[Budkin]

Man our garbage timers give up leads in record time. Amazing.

[beirmeistr]

another great game by the Spurs

[Horry Hipcheck]

Toyota Center's gonna be a bloodbath on Friday

[SpurPadre]

McHale :lol

AKA Herman Munster

[Blizzardwizard]

Howard staying out there to rack up garbage time stats :lol

[BatManu20]

Great Win. But I can't help but be worried about our backup PG situation come playoffs... Cojo's inability to shoot is going to cost us eventually. Mills is looking like he's going to not be apart of our playoff rotation at this rate.

You're overreacting. We're winning aren't we? If your championship hopes hang on your backup PG you weren't winning shit anyways. What cojo doesn't give on offense he gives on defense and hustle. He can hit shots when he is confident. Pop never should of benched him for Mills this season. He was playing solid ball.

[Mikeanaro]

Do you not remember how important our backup PG was to our success in the playoffs last year, tbh? Patty was huge. We absolutely relied on him to play well when he was in the game last year. If/When we play better teams like GSW or CLE or whoever in a 7-game series, we're going to need our backup PG to play well for us.

[Silver&Black]

Don't forget Diaw tonight. He wasn't laissez faire.

Agreed. 15 pts, 9 rbs, +20, 50% FG%

:bobo

[RD2191]

man how awesome would it be if we ended up with the 2-3 seed?:lol

[GSH]

The Spurs ripped the Rockets on the boards. Ripped them on points in the paint. And they only had 9 TO's. Nobody beats them when they do that.

so then you're saying parker isn't enough? the bench has manu to facilitate and get us points if need be.

[BatManu20]

Diaw was awesome tonight. Exploited mismatches, was smart with the ball, and battled underneath for rebounds.

[SpurPadre]

Anybody but Bonner?

Fine...Ayres I guess can share in the blame.

[GSH]

man how awesome would it be if we ended up with the 2-3 seed?:lol

As bad as they started? As ugly as it looked at the All Star break? To finish with the 2 seed in the West, after sending a message to all the other tough teams? Unbelievable. Nobody wants to meet them in the post-season now.

Yep. Also crazy is that the Spurs are 2-1 against 1st seed-Golden State, 2-1 against 2nd seed-Houston, 2-0 against 1st seed-Atlanta, and could have been a 2-0 record against 2nd seed-Cleveland. :wow

[timtonymanu]

I disappoint. I clearly meant Reggie Williams

[Beaverfuzz]

4 teams within 1/2 game of each other. GO SPURS GO! :flag: :bobo :lobt2: :ihit :whine :downspin:

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I think this game showed how bad that DMo injury was for Houston. Once Howard is fully ready it should get better, but right now their offense stalls when Harden doesn't have the ball in his hands since they don't have a second option with Howard restricted and DMo out. Relying on Josh Smith, Brewer and Ariza to create offense isn't gonna work for them.

[pgardn]

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...

[BatManu20]

Spurs a game within the 2nd seed in the West... Needless to say, Friday's game is a big one.

[pgardn]

Did you check who led the team on assists tonight? He had some big defensive efforts, and a couple of big steals. +16 when he was on the court. Remember when people were talking about how the Spurs were + a gazillion when Parker was off the floor, and - a gazillion when he was on the floor? (Somebody has that in their sig I think?) Who was running the offense then? CoJo has stepped up and he's playing good enough. Not only that, I still think that Patty is going to step up before it's over.

Much bigger to me is that Diaw has given them a post game that they were lacking, Tiago was playing A LOT more aggressively, and Baynes is putting in solid minutes in the blocks. It's the paint where the Spurs were getting killed. Not anymore.

[siraulo23]

Thats the best i seen the spurs defend the 3 point line vs a rockets team (with harden and howard playing)

Very impressive performance after the 1st quarter

Wow...it's amazing how long that Knicks loss keeps fucking us. We've won nine games in a row and are still stuck in the #6 spot. We should be the #2 seed right now. :bang

[GSH]

Reporter: Is it some kind of unwritten rule on this team that nobody can score 30 points? Seems like people keep getting close and then you pull them.
Pop? That's cuz' I'm a jerk. I don't want anybody getting any big heads. I mean, what do you need to score 30 for?

So did everyone get the fear of houston thing out of their systems?

Spurs have at least 3 VERY good defenders to throw at Harden (thought COJo was great), and, well, Dwight just isn't the same after is the back injury. No Beverly & no Demo makes it just that much harder for them.

[RD2191]

Pop. "cojo was on of the keys to the game".

Harden will score 40 on Friday with 28 coming from the charity stripe.

Motherfucking yes. I keep thinking about that shit after every goddamn game.

[FkLA]

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

But that Sean comment you're talking about....didn't Dorsey overplay/cheat on Kawhi that possession. TP passed to Bobo....moved the ball...then Bobo found a wide open Banger for a dunk. Is a Banger dunk not a very high % shot?

BTW...I'm all for Kawhi getting it going. I love the guy....but you guys are never happy with Parker's play. Never. Just jump aboard the Spurs bandwagon....I've got a seat saved for you. You and robdiaz both. Both of you guys are my niggas....but this hating on Tony Parker every single play every single game is getting quite old.

There were several times he mentioned it and he's still talking about it in the postgame btw. He had 2-3 FGAs midway through the 2nd Qtr...Spurs won so can't complain too much but that's way too low for a guy that's been on such a tear tbh.

[CGD]

McHale :lol

[ironman2886]

Spurs beat Curry, Westbrook, and Harden in a matter of days. Damn. Made them look average after a few tweaks on defense. Danny and Kawhi.

[SpurPadre]

Actually, I approve of him checking in early over the sandwich snob, tbh.

Houston can still do a lot of damage. Playing them without homecourt may not spell an automatic series loss, but it would certainly tire the Spurs out.

The real concern about the Rox right now is that they have a game in their house separating the Spurs from a 2 or 3 seed.

[pgardn]

Add Cojo.
He did a nice job on D tonight anyways.

You know what man....I'll go with that. Sorry, I've got League Pass...so I can't see the postgame.

Said it for the longest time now....Kawhi is our best player. Bar none. His offensive game has really come to light the past few weeks and you're right...he's been on a tear. BUT....to play devil's advocate....the Spurs won the championship last year based on ball movement. (I think everyone will agree with that) Again, I've said it a million times....last year you didn't know who was going to be the leading scorer on any given night. Kawhi, Parker, Duncan, Manu, Green, Mills....and even guys like Splitter, Belly, and Bonner led the team some nights.

Kawhi is a handful for the opposition right now....we both agree. Get the guy the ball.....I'm all for it too. But it's nice when other guys (like Parker tonight) have it going early. Started off 8-10 IIRC. That's not a bad thing...Kawhi shouldn't have to shoulder the load every single night.

[ironman2886]

Add Cojo.

Yep. Cojo has surprised me the last few games.

[UZER]

That was a championship type win. The rockets stifled the spurs in the first quarter. The spurs looked lost but the changed their lineups and slowly shifted the game.

Good stuff.

[TampaDude]

Harden will score 40 on Friday with 28 coming from the charity stripe.

That's okay...the rest of the Rockets will only score 50. Spurs win again. :hat

Kawhi stat padding when Spurs are up double digit per par tbh.... :lol

It was more frustrating in the first half since the team was down for a good portion of it. I think in the second half he got his touches and the team looked like a juggernaut again.

Don't care if Enrique gets his shots up, especially if he's as efficient as he was today...but Kawhi needs to be involved too. That's what's worked and that's when the team has been at it's best tbh.

You just come off as salty. You cannot stand TP having a good game at the expense of Kawhi.

It's like if TP has a great playoffs and the Spurs win the title....you would somehow be upset that "Kawhi's limelight" has somehow been diminished...and you wouldn't have the "I told you so" card in your back pocket. And the Rockets were on fire in the 1st Q....everything they threw up went in. That's somehow Parker's fault? Actually without TP in the 1st Q....we would have been down by 15+.

I'm all for calling TP out on his more than awful play for most of this year. He deserves it just like every other Spurs player would. Nobody here is above criticism...but on nights like tonight...the Krew needs to tip the ole cap and say good game Enrique. Good game Porker....

Jesus Christ....the guy shot over 70% tonight. That's who you want shooting the ball.....right? If Kawhi didn't miss his first 3 shots (correct me if I'm wrong on that) I'm sure the gameplan would have changed drastically.

The krew exhibits a level of absurdity that is unparalleled. We've almost started getting used to it because their hatred of Parker is so over the top. But just sit back and think about this for a minute. Tony Parker just dropped 27 points on 13/18 shooting in 26 minutes of play to lead us to one of the most critical wins of the season. And on the defensive end, no one went off on him. And these guys still nitpcick the exact timing of every one of his shots, the fact that although he did share the ball with Kawhi it wasn't at the exact right moments, the fact that other squads had runs of their own (thereby "proving" that Parker is totally useless and completely expendable), etc, etc, etc. The standards they hold Parker to have arguably never been achieved by any basketball player in any game ever. When Parker scores with unbelievable efficiency, they criticize his assists. When he shares the ball more and shoots less, they call him expendable and attribute the system. When he does both, they try and point out the flaws in the defense. When he does it against a good defensive team, they say it was just a regular season game. These guys will never ever give Tony one single benefit of the doubt. It just won't happen. We just need to understand how outrageous their agenda is (not sure what Parker ever did to them, but it must have been bad). The rest of us can discuss the game rationally and give credit where credit was due...tonight to Parker, Kawhi, Cojo, and most of the rest of the team.

If you ever want a break from the absurdity, just read the headlines or step out of ST for a minute:

SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker scored 27 points and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Houston Rockets 110-98 on Wednesday night for their ninth straight victory.

It's not that difficult to see, but sometimes I hear enough of Rob or Malik or daboom or Apo to almost start believing that, "wait a minute, maybe Tony really did have a bad game."

the problem is you faggot give parker all the credit when we win but when we lose it was the teams fault. stop being bitches and admit that he has been shitting the bed lately. this is his first complete game in a while.

Bro, Kawhi is becoming our go-to player. He's been the best player on the team this season and I give him credit all the time. Same with Duncan and Manu and the rest of the squad. But usually I don't get to do that enough because I feel like responding to the misinformation and ridiculous takes/standards that you guys put out for Tony takes precedence. Maybe I should just ignore it more and move on, but a lot of times people begin to believe it. Like I said, sometimes I myself begin to believe it because you guys throw so much out there. I begin to ask myself, "well there are like 4 or 5 guys here literally saying Tony was a hindrance to the team tonight...maybe they have a point. His efficiency was amazing, his +/- was good, his defense wasn't bad, he distributed, ... but maybe I'm missing something. Maybe he was a detriment to the team."

[GSH]

The replay of the game is on, and I stopped to watch a few minutes of it. Third quarter, about 5 minutes left. Kawhi took the ball at the elbow, with Ariza on him. Jabbed - Ariza didn't bite. Pump-faked a 3 - Ariza didn't bite. So Kawhi put the ball on the floor, and backed Ariza all the way into the paint. There was help behind Ariza, and Kawhi clearly didn't like what he saw, so he just sort of dumped the ball back on Tony. Parker weaved his ways through the big trees, and flipped up a floater from about the restricted circle. Kawhi got his touch... he just gave it up. If I watched the whole game, I know that there were more possessions like that one.

Fourth quarter - Kawhi gets a steal and takes off in transition, with only Brewer in front of him. Normally Kawhi is coast-to-coast on that play. Instead, he peels off at the 3P line. Then CoJo gets wide open at near the basket, and Kawhi doesn't see him, or just decides not to pass. Finally, Green is trailing, and Kawhi pitches it to him at the 3P line, and Danny nails it. It worked out okay. But Kawhi should have taken it all the way himself, or at least passed to Joseph for the gimme at the basket.

What I'm seeing is that Kawhi's lack of shots wasn't all because Parker wouldn't give him the ball. Kawhi passed on some shots he would normally take, and Parker took what the defense was offering. All I'm seeing is good basketball here.

What's up with that anchor guy on Sportscenter? He said Pop's act with interviewers gets old and he just said he doesn't like the Spurs but he respects them. Who knew these drones were supposed to have opinions.

Should not be on Sportscenter at all. :Lil
Might be a Rocket fan.

Whatever it takes to win.

The posters mentioned below... a win is not satisfactory, if Parker is given too much credit or plays a critical role.

Its pretty obvious a few are the same poster. And I personally think it's probably off the court stuff. The fact that some women find Parker very attractive. It's too bizzare an obsession to be only a basketball problem. Hispanic fruits jealous of the French guy wearing more cologne than they do?

Put rob the knob and FckLa in this category as well.

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...

Until Saturday I'm at the palazzo

My friend and I will be watching the game at the Wildfire Casino on Boulder Highway. It's a ways off from Vegas all the way out to Henderson (30 minute taxi), but if you want you're welcome to join us. If you stay in Vegas, I'd recommend the Caesar's Palace Sportsbook. Best in the city, I think.
