Preseason: Spurs vs Rockets -- Friday (10/23) - NBA TV - 7:30pm CST

[BatManu20]

Here it is, final preseason game. And will be nationally televised so no more bullshit streaming.

Regular season starts in exactly 5 days (!!).


What a time to be alive.

And perhaps the best news of the day, THE BASED GOD has cursed James Harden again so Houston is no longer a concern tbh.

I really would prefer the "bullshit" streaming combined with the Spurs radio announcer rather than listening to the Houston announcers ... this is gonna be awful if we not destroy them from start to finish (which will not happen)

Yeah, listening to Clyde Drexler for an entire game is worse than getting teeth pulled. Will probably just watch he game with the TV on mute if It is the Houston broadcast.

Truth. I might have to hunt around for an audio stream to listen to while the video is on mute.

I agree. They call him "iso-Aldridge" as if he's post-Shaq, pre-Pau, Kobe. LMA will be ok.

Boris is relaxed and confident about the season to say the least.

Pizza time bitches. Pizza all the time. :lmao

[spursistan]

hope this one gets treated like real regular season game with minimal try-outs.

[Cloud786]

"I’ll tell you right now Aldridge is the most overrated player in the league, and his acquisition by the Spurs is the most overrated transaction of the off season. Aldridge is super inefficient, which makes him a very illogical fit with the spurs. The one way they’ve been able to compete is by ball movement, making Aldridge one of the worst fits possible in their system. He’s also got a big ego, which is another bad fit for the team. Portland’s starting 5 last year was at least as good as the Spurs this year, and Aldridge couldn’t get them anywhere.

He is a good player, but I think he was worth way more to Portland than he will be to the Spurs. The loss of Splitter and Belinelli is being vastly overlooked, as both played key roles to their last title. The D West acquisition is also a non factor, as he is now completely ineffective in this league.

Spurs will be a 6 seed again, start the first round on the road, and lose in 6 to OKC, LAC, or HOU in the first round."

Comment on that iso-Aldridge link

[ChumpDumper]

Wow, blog comments!

[jyra]

Clint Capela will probably put up a monster game just to remind me again how much I wanted him to fall to the Spurs on draft night. Oh well, Boban vs Dwight should be a fun matchup.

[Manu20]

My dish guide has the Game Blacked Out :/ Hopefully its wrong! I'm in Deep South Texas.

[AFBlue]

Going to be in the house for this game. Should be fun.

[Robz4000]

Looking forward to seeing Boban rough up Dwight in preseason. BTW, was Clint Capela even available?

Anyone know if NBAtv is gonna black out the game in San Antonio?

[beirmeistr]

Unfortunately, my Dish guide also informed me that the game is blacked out when i tried to program it.

[beirmeistr]

But my Dish tv guide also shows a replay at midnight that does not appear to be blacked out.

When asked about it Manu said it was a difficult position to be in for those players and that it was tough for them to think about it because it is always tough to loose a teammate, and all the guys they have are good people. He mentioned two guys(not by name, but I think we all know which two).

Because for some reason the Spurs don't broadcast games during the preseason.

Oh...so that's why every preseason game has been the other team's broadcast. :lol

[Ditty]

Spurs have never done a preseason broadcast with Bill and Sean, or any announcers in the past I can think of. I guess it's an agreement with fox sports or something but it's fucking stupid that we can't watch preseason games on our local network or announcers. Thumbs down by one of the best originations in all of sports or whoever controls the broadcasts.

[Arcadian]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the Spurs have been ripped off in the regular season with the away team's broadcast being shown on NBA TV numerous times, though. If I'm a little paranoid about it, ya can't blame me.

[Cloud786]

Here's to hoping we see 2014 first round LMA

Tony shutting Lawson down tbh

[spursgu]

Parker :depressed. You can do it!

[ElNono]

Kawhi has been pretty lazy on defense this pre season

yeah, I didn't like that rushed jumper either, tbh

[BatManu20]

Parker gets blocked on a lay up attempt, leads to a transition lay up by harden.

Tony still sucking.

[random21]

Danny and LMA playing well...

[weeks]

lazy transition D from kawhi, and parker looking every bit of tony porker tonight so far.

[BillMc]

Tony looks fast but has no lift when he jumps whatsoever.

[SpursIndonesia]

Clint Capela makes DHo redundant, all the defense without the inefficient force fed post play.

Kawhi has been pretty lazy on defense this pre season
was about to say it..thanks..

Worried about Kyle . . .

and Simmons . . .

Where is the young blood that the Spurs always find?

[steeledl]

I wish Kyle Anderson would break his leg. As long as Pop thinks he can fill a rotation spot..... we are fucked. garbage

[BatManu20]

Interior D & fast break D are issues right now.

[RD2191]

Bench looking like shit.

[dabom]

Kawhi out. We start losing the lead. :lmao

[weeks]

nice pass by west

[DPG21920]

This bench has so much to figure out. Plenty of talent, but no real fit as of yet. All individual pieces vs a nice unit.

[SPURt]

Dang Kyle, that looked uncomfortable

[BatManu20]

Kyle gotta wake up

[ElNono]

that's all corey brewer does... play the passing lanes and leak out for the quick fastbreak score...

[steeledl]

Just as I was typing that:lmao Fuck this Kyle Anderson dick riding crew.

[SPURt]

It'd be different if Bobo was there instead of Butler

[steeledl]

100 year old Manu and Kyle Anderson are our back up wings.... think about that. :rolleyes

[Robz4000]

Ugh, thought the bench had good chemistry?

[Slime Baller]

Kyle was totally lost there, yup.

Mills33333333

Mills!!!!!!!

Mills looking like a young Parker going to the rack!!

[weeks]

WOW MILLS, what speed! that was parker-esque! all the way across the court for the layup

[TheDoctor]

Butler showing his savviness

[steeledl]

Ginobili and KA in the game .... literally gonna turn the ball over 6 times per quarter.

[myhc]

So Manu invented flopping and is now the king of the euro step. LOL, who the fuck is the announcer?

[r0drig0lac]

Mills!!!

Mills with the speed and BRAKES.

Butler showing his savviness

Good to see.

West!!!!!!

[Arcadian]

Starting unit is awesome, bench sucks.

[TXstbobcat]

Bill Worrell with Matt Bullard as the color guy.

[weeks]

KA's length is paying dividends on rebounds.

[TheGreatYacht]

Butler fits this team like a glove

that guy isn't walking through the doors man, that was years ago.

for what we're paying, and for the need, West is doing just fine. IMO. i didn't expect a huge shift of the needle bc of west, but he brings a lot of good intangibles to this team

I agree. I saw him as an early season spot filler but he could actually stick on the team for the playoffs.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Simmons has been so bad, I'm pretty happy with his performance so far tonight, which has consisted of just staying in his lane and letting the others handle the offense.

[Kawhitstorm]

Good one, faggot.

Take the butt plug out of your ass before you make another bitchy post.

[BillMc]

What's happened to Kawhi's defense?

[TheGreatYacht]

I agree. I saw him as an early season spot filler but he could actually stick on the team for the playoffs.
Cheaper option than Williams as well
