Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets - Christmas Day @ 7:00 PM CST (3:00 AM Riga time)

[sasaint]

LMA hitting that jumper. Simmons attacking and dishing.

Simmons making good on his early appearance. Two drive and dish assists and nice energy.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Manu and Diaw are defensive liabilities so far. Just terrible.

San Antonio Suns, tbh. Guarding their hole like a prostitute rather than a princess.

[timtonymanu]

Now the defense is bad and the offense picked up.

[HI-FI]

What is the deal with those socks? I haven't seen a close up view.
Not sure what is on them, looks like snowflakes. I just like how Diaw is wearing them compared to everyone else.

[ElNono]

Slow start but we're right there... Gotta step up the D

[Kawhitstorm]

Manu and Diaw are defensive liabilities so far. Just terrible.

Manu keeps over-helping & losing his man. How in the hell do you help off Terry when the Spurs had a 1 man one advantage on defense:lol

[steeledl]

Exposed? :lol

Idk, you tell me.. for some reason the food was ready right before the game started.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Do you freak out all of the time irl?

I hate that Rat Face is still making 3's on us...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

shitass first quarter

[GSH]

Just done eating... everyone on r/nba is talking about how Kawhi can't guard Harden and is getting exposed? That true?


Based on what?... four plays?

Yeah, I think the first quarter of this game has been the defining moment of Kawhi's career. It's all downhill from here. :lol

[HI-FI]

Cassidy Hubbarth needs a good hot stuffing.

[Fireball]

Can't give up 25 in a quarter and expect to win... San Antonio Suns showing true colors on D

you really start getting on my nerves ... terrible

[LkrFan]

Terrance Jones: 8 points
Aldridge: 8 points

One makes $80 million
One makes $2.4 million

Seems fair :lol

[BatManu20]

Spurs played one of their worst quarters in recent memory and still down just 3. Just gotta pick up the D and shots should start falling.

[Mister Sinister]

:lol Pop's interview

[BatManu20]

Terrance Jones: 8 points
Aldridge: 8 points

One makes $80 million
One makes $2.4 million

Seems fair :lol

yes, bc it's always good to judge players based on one quarter in an entire season :lol

[LkrFan]

You keep posting this shit, and the Spurs keep winning the games. That's gotta sting.

No, it doesn't tbh.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

HAHA RAT FACE MISSED IT :lol Ball don't lie

[RD2191]

Idk, you tell me.. for some reason the food was ready right before the game started.

Harden exposes no one. Kawhi has always been bad at defending quick guards.

[GSH]

Not sure what is on them, looks like snowflakes. I just like how Diaw is wearing them compared to everyone else.


Boris is so cool.

[sasaint]

Based on what?... four plays?

Yeah, I think the first quarter of this game has been the defining moment of Kawhi's career. It's all downhill from here. :lol

:lol

Looks like he "hit the wall". Pull him. :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Lawson is having his way against Patty, put Simmons on him & Patty on Terry:bang

[LkrFan]

yes, bc it's always good to judge players based on one quarter in an entire season :lol

:lol

[Mister Sinister]

Bobo!

[SupremeGuy]

Of course Lawson plays good against us. Someone offer him a drink lol

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo :bobo

[100%duncan]

Bobo :wow

[loveforthegame]

Bobo friendly roll.

[Canyonero]

Ugh why the fake Manu.

[100%duncan]

Fucking assholes cant convert a fastbreak

[TheDoctor]

Lawson gonna be scrub of the night?

[RD2191]

Bench fuckin blows tbh

[Mister Sinister]

MANU!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!

[spursistan]

our bench getting outplayed badly

[BatManu20]

Wow our defense has been complete shit so far .

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck this, Spurs are massively overrated defensively.

What the fuck

[steeledl]

Someone buy this nigga some shoes.

[Kawhitstorm]

Looks like Manu is in Turnobili mode & Brewer is going to go off against the Spurs as always

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Are the Spurs fucking retarded? :pctoss The 2 shots you don't give up in the game are wide open layups and wide open threes! UGH :bang

[SupremeGuy]

Damn we're playing some fucking scattered ball! FUCK!

[steeledl]

Fuck this, Spurs are massively overrated defensively.

What the fuck

We have played a really weak schedule.

[RD2191]

Of course these faggots show up tonight.

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Turd towers against two 7 footers... Fuck

[Mister Sinister]

Hot dayum.

[From Downtown]

JSIMMS WHAT A PASS

[Ron Swanson]

Nice play by Simmons

[BatManu20]

Great pass by Simmons

[loveforthegame]

That touch pass by Simmons!

[GSH]

Wow!! Great decision and pass by Simmons!

[100%duncan]

Simmons bailing out patty

[r0drig0lac]

dat pass

[bic50]

Simmons

[sasaint]

Terrance Jones: 8 points
Aldridge: 8 points

One makes $80 million
One makes $2.4 million

Seems fair :lol

Tbh, Jones doesn't get any love ever, and I have wanted themSpurs to get him since he entered the league.

[TheDoctor]

Nice thinking Simms

[SupremeGuy]

I feel like we just need to calm the fuck down, tbh. We're playing like a bunch of headless chickens.

[sasaint]

Wow!! Great decision and pass by Simmons!

He seems like he is really starting to get it. Go Simmons!

[Canyonero]

STOP OVERPASSING

[Fireball]

Simmons can be lucky there will be no shaqtin a fool for a while ...

but nice work on the fast break

[Mister Sinister]

Eat shit, Brewer.

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!!!!!

[Kawhitstorm]

I feel like we just need to calm the fuck down, tbh. We're playing like a bunch of headless chickens.

Patty out there inviting Lawson to have a flashback game:bang

[RD2191]

Shoot the ball. Fuck.

[BatManu20]

Here we go

[loveforthegame]

Nice play.

[TheDoctor]

So hack a dwight coming soon?

[Raven]

houston doesn't have two brain cells in his whole team combined

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Hopefully starting to wake up?

[From Downtown]

Bench finally picking it up with Simmons doing work and Manu and Patty playing better

[Kawhitstorm]

STOP OVERPASSING

Simmons/Diaw are hesitant to shoot from outside

[bic50]

Playing like crap only down 2

[Trainwreck2100]

corey brewer doing his best to keep the spurs in the game

[100%duncan]

Kyle gets the playing time against the shitty ass tpups Simmons gets the playing time against the rockets. :tu

[Uriel]

Spurs over passing as usual. Sometimes, they just need to shoot the goddamned ball.

[Budkin]

LMA is back.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Turd towers against two 7 footers... Fuck

Really hope Pop will do away with turd towers lineup by ASB

[coachmac87]

Hopefully starting to wake up?


You're such a bitch

[G-Dawgg]

What a really solid player Simmons is..

[TheGreatYacht]

Great defense Manu, that's all you have to do. Quit helping and leaving your guy open

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Rockets want this game very badly.

[Raven]

Terrance Jones: 8 points
Aldridge: 8 points

One makes $80 million
One makes $2.4 million

Seems fair :lol
lol jones is on a rookie contract and playing awful this year

[GSH]

He seems like he is really starting to get it. Go Simmons!


I saw him in preseason, and didn't think there was any way for him to even make the team. Not only did the Spurs spot talent, but Pop has obviously done a good job of showing confidence in him and getting him to step up. Great to see.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Eat shit, Brewer.

Fuck that guy tbh

[TheDoctor]

Over/Under 7.5pts Spurs lead for Hack a Dwight?

[Fireball]

Simmons stole my play .. that tip pass while going backwards is one I love to make ...

[steeledl]

Kyle gets the playing time against the shitty ass tpups Simmons gets the playing time against the rockets. :tu

Kyle is a big part of the Spurs future. He reminds some people of PorzinGOD but Diaw is his floor.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kyle gets the playing time against the shitty ass tpups Simmons gets the playing time against the rockets. :tu

Kyle should play over Patty at least he will rebound & play at a smart pace. His defense can't be any worse.

[Ron Swanson]

Haha Brewer showboating and Manu went right past him.

[Fireball]

Rockets want this game very badly.

they did not pay you to make the game thread though ...

[Mister Sinister]

Fucking TOs goddammit

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Enrique :bang

[From Downtown]

Great defense Manu, that's all you have to do. Quit helping and leaving your guy open
Yeah,he was constantly over-helping in the first,playing better D in the 2nd

[BanditHiro]

don't understand why Rocket Killer Aldridge is not in the court

[HI-FI]

Terrance Jones: 8 points
Aldridge: 8 points

One makes $80 million
One makes $2.4 million

Seems fair :lol
Should we compare your god Rapist's contract and contributions?

[GSH]

That was a great replay of Brewer celebrating down the floor, and Manu jamming it up his ass. He may be getting old, but don't sleep on Ginobili!

[100%duncan]

Lol fuck you parker.

[loveforthegame]

Dribbling and holding the ball for 21 seconds.

[Ron Swanson]

It went off Howard. Fucking Rockets fans.

[timtonymanu]

Rockets want this game very badly.

Yet we're still in it

[SAGirl]

Kyle gets the playing time against the shitty ass tpups Simmons gets the playing time against the rockets. :tu
Doesn't matter. Be glad both guys showed to play when their number was called instead of laying an egg.

[RD2191]

Fuckers cant miss

[Kawhitstorm]

Execution has been terrible on both ends:downspin:

[Mister Sinister]

Verde!

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Actually I got late to the watch party, but its a close game...

[loveforthegame]

Verde rare drive success.

[From Downtown]

D-Mo is brilliant

[Kawhitstorm]

D-Mo is going to jump hook D-West to death, put Tim on him

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Turnrique again :bang

[Kawhitstorm]

Execution has been terrible on both ends:downspin:

[Mister Sinister]

Put your fucking arm down Harden, you little bitch.

[loveforthegame]

Parker throwing the ball at Duncan's ankles.

[RD2191]

Kawhi invisible on offense.

[SupremeGuy]

Ok, time for Pop to tell Kawhi to take over, tbh.

[spursistan]

get fucking LMA back..he should play 40 mins in this game..meanwhile Parker with shitty game where he should be controlling things out..

[RD2191]

Gtfo tim

[Mister Sinister]

GFDI Kawhi

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim has been useless on offense

[100%duncan]

Lmao kawhi is such a bonehead sometimes. Passes up the open 3only to shoot a contested long 2. The fuck

[Raven]

the defensive duo clearly in harden's head

[steeledl]

Geez, Kawhi looking sloppy. Was hoping he'd do work on Harden,

[timtonymanu]

Duncan and Parker look awful on offense.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D-Mo is going to jump hook D-West to death, put Tim on him

or LMA.

[RD2191]

Are the spurs even running an offense?

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi getting shut the fuck down lmao. Even Apo wanted Ariza for him smh

[Kawhitstorm]

get fucking LMA back..he should play 40 mins in this game..meanwhile Parker with shitty game where he should be controlling things out..

D-Mo is fronting LMA w/ Dwight camped in the paint & daring Tim to make jumpers:bang. Tony has to run PnP w/ LMA instead of trying to feed the post w/ Tim.

[Raven]

D-Mo is going to jump hook D-West to death, put Tim on him
:lmao

[keeferob25]

Tim has been useless on offense

Agreed...he has also gotten a bit lazy on O last couple of games. Problem is he is our best rim protector while Dwest and Diaw (better offensively) suck ass defensively.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Geez, Kawhi looking sloppy. Was hoping he'd do work on Harden,

No excuse for him to bail him out by jacking up those dumb pull up long 2's like he's Carmelo Anthony and shit.

[sasaint]

Lmao kawhi is such a bonehead sometimes. Passes up the open 3only to shoot a contested long 2. The fuck

Yep! :bang

[steeledl]

Doesn't matter. Be glad both guys showed to play when their number was called instead of laying an egg.


Probably just making the point that Kyle isn't really a part of the teams long term plans.

[Fireball]

I watched many Rockets games this season ... they never played as hard as tonight ...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

don't understand why Rocket Killer Aldridge is not in the court

Poop

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I watched many Rockets games this season ... they never played as hard as tonight ...

Seems to be a trend against the Spurs. Especially on Christmas.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi getting shut the fuck down lmao. Even Apo wanted Ariza for him smh

He's 2/4 you dumbfuck :lol meanwhile porker is shutting down his own self with stupid turnovers. SMH

[Kawhitstorm]

Agreed...he has also gotten a bit lazy on O last couple of games. Problem is he is our best rim protector while Dwest and Diaw (better offensively) suck ass defensively.

D-West can actually guard Dwight if LMA can protect the rim.

[SupremeGuy]

Fucking Spurs always play like shit on national tv :lol goddamn

[GSH]

Fucking Spurs always play like shit on national tv :lol goddamn


Good thing they don't televise the playoffs.

[Kawhitstorm]

He's 2/4 you dumbfuck :lol meanwhile porker is shutting down his own self with stupid turnovers. SMH

Tony turning into Porker when he sees a shot blocker in the paint:lol

[RD2191]

Wtf kawhi

[From Downtown]

Green's transition D is as good as it gets

[Ron Swanson]

That's our ball.

[100%duncan]

Lmao harden is greens bitch

[LkrFan]

Should we compare your god Rapist's contract and contributions?

You mad bro? Let's talk about it. :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[GSH]

What great transition D by Danny!!!! Shame the zebras screwed the pooch.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[ErnestLynch]

Been awhile since i've been here. The one thing guaranfinteed is spurstalk fans melting down in the 1st half. Relax. Spurs are going to crush these fools. EOS.

[SupremeGuy]

C'mon Kawhi, just take over.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi :worthy:

[From Downtown]

KAWOW

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard slam!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi!

[sasaint]

Good thing they don't televise the playoffs.

Beat me to the punch!

:rollin:rollin

[loveforthegame]

Leonard shitting on his haters. :lol

[RD2191]

Crofl eat shit thegreatyacht

[SupremeGuy]

FUCK YEAH KAWHI! Make that faggot cat crew cry those salty tears.

[Mister Sinister]

Kawhiiiiii yes

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Kawhi pick six nice... Refs hosing us per par

[beirmeistr]

klawsome!

[steeledl]

Why isn't kawhi on Harden? Also, he lost Ariza backdoor there.

[100%duncan]

9 pts 3 stls.

:lmao Shut down.

[timtonymanu]

Green is having an excellent defensive game.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking both FTs going through the kunt... :bang

[Mister Sinister]

Kawhi flipping the murder switch.

[SupremeGuy]

Crofl eat shit thegreatyachtMy nigga. Merry Christmas.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :lol

[RD2191]

Kawhi!

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi shitting all over them now

[Raven]

i'm loving this game

[loveforthegame]

That should have been Leonard's 4th steal.

[RD2191]

Kawhi taking over on both sides of the ball. Lol thegreatshit.

[100%duncan]

3 straight buckets after that fag's post :lmao

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi flipping the murder switch.Yup. :lol It's a beautiful thing to watch when he decides it's time.

[Raven]

Why isn't kawhi on Harden? Also, he lost Ariza backdoor there.
because green is the best guard defender in the league.

[keeferob25]

Green's defense so far is the difference. Harden looks most unnatural when Green guards him.

[GSH]

Shitty too-cute behind the back bounce pass by Kawhi put Danny in a bad spot. Nice offensive rebound and shot. But there was no need for the funky pass.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi said eff y'all & activated into beast mode

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi getting shut the fuck down lmao. Even Apo wanted Ariza for him smh
It worked.

Kawhi is getting shut the fuck down

[Spurs_619]

The more thegreatfaggot shits on kawhi the better he plays tbh..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Why isn't kawhi on Harden? Also, he lost Ariza backdoor there.

1) We have Green on the team

2) That play was designed for TD to block Ariza, but the refs gift wrapped Ariza foodstamps even though he got all ball. No respect by NBA after 19 years... :sleep

[100%duncan]

Fucking both FTs going through the kunt... :bang

You sure have a low EQ

[Fireball]

finally good consecutive defensive possessions ... DG in transition defense is uncanny ... and Kawhi is a beast of course

[Kawhitstorm]

Green's defense so far is the difference. Harden looks most unnatural when Green guards him.

Danny is good at pocking the ball & disrupting his rhythm, he has an unorthodox defensive stance so Harden doesn't know how to bait him into fouls:lol

[ErnestLynch]

Oh no, its over. The Spurs are done !! Panic, doom, this is the end.

Morons. Spurs got this, kick back. It's Christmas.

[100%duncan]

Im a faggot

[Mister Sinister]

Yup. :lol It's a beautiful thing to watch when he decides it's time.

So much. Living in Chicago and working nights I don't get to watch too many games, LP or no LP, so this is a hell of a thing when I get to see it.

[ElNono]

Quick, what's the current meltdown factor on ST at the moment?

[SupremeGuy]

3 straight buckets after that fag's post :lmaoTo be fair, all his posts are faggoty. :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

3 straight buckets after that fag's post :lmao

who, LakerFan?

[TheDoctor]

Fuck you LMA and your good to great passes lobotomy shit.

[steeledl]

Solid stat line for Kawhi. I just want him to take Hardens lunch. Hate that bitch.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA with the floater

[steeledl]

LMAlpha

[Mister Sinister]

That D tho

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi taking over on both sides of the ball. Lol thegreatshit.
*Makes a thread about keeping Tiago*

LMAlpha shits on Griffin minutes later

Lmao Roberto

[SAGirl]

Aldridge showing off the floater.

[r0drig0lac]

because green is the best guard defender in the league.

avery bradley tbh

[bic50]

There's no hope for greatcuck. Still a bitch as it's always been.

[SupremeGuy]

Good thing they don't televise the playoffs.During the regular season, tbh. You know what I meant bitch. Don't be purposely stupid.

[RD2191]

Lol tims shoes

[100%duncan]

who, LakerFan?

Tgy

[Fireball]

wow ... Kobe is gonna die ... his final christmas

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy, get some arc on those shots.

[100%duncan]

Smh tim

[RD2191]

*Makes a thread about keeping Tiago*

LMAlpha shits on Griffin minutes later

Lmao Roberto

Reverse jinx imo

[TheGreatYacht]

How does 100%Duncan get wifi in the fabelas tbh

[TheDoctor]

Damn Kawhi screen just demolished Beverly in that Manu driving play

[GSH]

During the regular season, tbh. You know what I meant bitch. Don't be purposely stupid.

LOL.

[Silver&Black]

Dwert dribbling 20 feet away from the basket...:lmao

[100%duncan]

Manu u bonehead

[loveforthegame]

If Leonard had made that.

[spursistan]

wtf Manu doing?

[Ron Swanson]

Oh shit, that would have been a nasty putback dunk.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi activated!!!!

[loveforthegame]

4 should be 5 steals for Leonard.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

wtf was that Manu? ugh

[RD2191]

Wtf manu

[100%duncan]

How does 100%Duncan get wifi in the fabelas tbh

Atleast I have my game pics :lol

[keeferob25]

Granted, we could still lose but its clear that Houston put forth their best effort this game and is slowly reverting back to the mediocre team theyve been all year.

[RD2191]

D up

[Silver&Black]

Oh shit, that would have been a nasty putback dunk.

Almost came outta my seat Ron...

Would have been real nasty.

[Uriel]

This lineup on the floor: Parker-Ginobili-Leonard-Aldridge-Duncan is the most star-studded 5-man unit in the NBA.

[SAGirl]

Probably just making the point that Kyle isn't really a part of the teams long term plans.
:lmao
Steele you really will be disappointed...

[Raven]

harden :lmao

[SupremeGuy]

Beautiful tip back by Gino.

[100%duncan]

Harden :lmao

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi almost murdered all Roxs players in the paint with that missed put back

[GSH]

Nice effort by Manu there, preventing the long-bounce offensive rebound. That shit adds up.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Good defense in the second half of the 2nd quarter. :toast That's what I expect for 48 minutes, or at least until the game is out of reach

[SAGirl]

Quick, what's the current meltdown factor on ST at the moment?
I have UNT ignored for this one! lol
:lmao

[Fireball]

Harden ... what was that?

[TheGreatYacht]

Beverley tried to pull a Westbrook on Parker. Season would've been over right then and there tbqh

[steeledl]

:lmao
Steele you really will be disappointed...

Im not invested in him.... you are tbh

[sasaint]

This lineup on the floor: Parker-Ginobili-Leonard-Aldridge-Duncan is the most star-studded 5-man unit in the NBA.

Hadn't thought about it since three are past their primes, but you are right.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi must have gotten his cocaine injection before the 2nd quarter:lol

[Fireball]

I have UNT ignored for this one! lol
:lmao

:toast

[RD2191]

Wtf lma

[Ron Swanson]

What the hell was that, LMA?

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Aldridge you moron

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Scary at the end there

[From Downtown]

And we're winning :lol

[ElNono]

Great stretch by Manu except for that pass... Both sides

[100%duncan]

Fuck was that pass lma. I could have made that pass

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs being way way way too cute with their passes there.

Still take the lead though :)

[loveforthegame]

LMA pass. :pctoss

[BatManu20]

Damn LMA that should've been 2

[GSH]

Good defense in the second half of the 2nd quarter. :toast That's what I expect for 48 minutes, or at least until the game is out of reach

Holding the Rockets to 13 points for the quarter? Yeah, I'd say that's good defense.
