Parker and kawhi are going to need to both play a lot better if we want to win this game.

Hopefully Pop plays SloMo this time instead of that scrub Simmons.

Embarrass em by 30 or it's a win in technical terms only.

[BatManu20]

Game will be aired on NBATV too btw.

[Canyonero]

Go espuelas.

[NASpurs]

Man I would love to see a Boban vs Howard matchup.

[SpursIndonesia]

I hope the Spurs will make this count, no more half ass effort & lack of focus + determination from start till the end.

[spurs10]

I hope the Spurs will make this count, no more half ass effort & lack of focus + determination from start till the end. I think we will see a Spurs team showing what they are all about. I expect a focused and consummate beat-down today!

Tony still thinks this is 2011. Around the min 1:40 he talks about nobody in Spurs uniform is gonna avg 30ppg that "One night is gonna be me, one night is gonna be Manu, one night is gonna be LaMarcus". In his freaking mind, Kawhi, the NBA's #2 guy in MVP talks is not relevant :lmao

Thats his reason now to stay relevant. We all know that faggot would be D-Leaguer if he didnt play for the spurs.

[Horse]

Heading in walking through the rain GO SPURS GO!!!

[SpurPadre]

Hopefully, TD can laugh at Howard again.

[Mel_13]

[Budkin]

Rockets have no business winning this game. Take care of them Spurs.

[silverblackfan]

I hope the Spurs jump on them early with strong defense. Make them work hard on offense. Then send in the second unit to wear them out with the occasional Boban to lean on the big guys and blot out the sun.


Man, I hate the rockets. Jason Terry just adds to the irritation.

[Robz4000]

Tonight has the potential to be an epic meltdown tbh. Just keep in mind, people: Houston will be extremely desperate tonight while the Spurs will come out rusty with little motivation considering they don't care about losses on Christmas. There is a good chance for a loss tonight.

If the team comes out flat and can't seem to show a matching energy defending their court, then the bench should be given the chance. I am sure those guys are chomping at the bit to get the playing time.

C'mon, Spurs. Put the Rockets in the ground. That last game was uuuuugly.

[Ice009]

Never knew Duncan had a brother who worked for the Spurs tbh :lol

Is this the photographer? I think I read that he had a brother that was a photographer or something similar, but I don't think he works for the Spurs. He does his own thing and travels all around the world.

[myhc]

LOL EMPY SEATS. Fucking embarrasing.

[loveforthegame]

Verde!

[Ron Swanson]

Oh shit. A three by Danny to start the game.

[From Downtown]

V3RD3

[james evans]

green hits his first shot and parker plays great defense on 1st possesion. It has to be a good game in the making!!

[loveforthegame]

Those drives by Verde. :lol

[loveforthegame]

Did Parker air ball that layup?

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny driving :bang

[lilsupa]

Why is Nba tv not working

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker is scared of Howard:lol

[NASpurs]

Pop just got a Matt Bonner seeing Howard miss both fts

[bic50]

:flag:

[Biggems]

That was not a fucking foul....if they are going to call that, blow the whistle everytime someone drives to the hoop

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker showing his court vision:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Get Tim out. He's just a liability on offense smh

[r0drig0lac]

this is ridiculous

[NASpurs]

We need some MVPatty in this game.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck the Rockets for only playing good against the Spurs

[Kawhitstorm]

Bench Porker/Danny:sleep

[NASpurs]

Fucking ref swallowing that whistle, fucking faggots.

[SpursFan86]

We forget how to play basketball against Houston. It's absolutely amazing.

[SAGirl]

New month, a cold start.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Spurs
:lol can't even beat a shitty Rockets team

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

God damn it can they run some more pick and rolls for Parker?

[loveforthegame]

Wish Leonard would stop chucking. It's killing the team.

[r0drig0lac]

fucking hell, Spurs really do not want to play against rockets

[Ron Swanson]

Not in the mood to watch this shit tonight. Hope they get it going soon.

[ElNono]

lol @ the evolution of Porky

[Spurs_619]

Great quarter so far by Parker :toast

[01Snake]

Fucking pathetic!

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker is the only point guard that makes the Rockets D seem legit:lol

[beirmeistr]

put the bench in

[mystargtr34]

Tony Parker :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

They have to stop playing this two man game with TP!!!!! The offense needs to run through KL, unbelievable

[james evans]

damn parker. Just when i start to give him props, he comes down and dribble dribble dribble every possession looking to score. And how was that not an offensive foul?

[ddjeffries]

ouch elbow to the face

[100%duncan]

Porker 0/3 :lmao no shame

[Das Texan]

nice travel by the beard.

surprised he didnt get the foul also.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fucking NBATV, anyone have a link they can PM me to watch?

[Kawhitstorm]

fucking hell, Spurs really do not want to play against rockets

...unless Porker's hammy snaps & is out for the season:lol, it's like the 2014 OKC series

[Texas_Ranger]

thank god I woke up at 2.30am for this shit. Playing like that against the pathetic Rockets... what a joke

[Perry Mason]

Spurs are just playing dumb. Not enough movement. Parker needs to dump to Aldridge or Kawhi, who need to do some work to get a good passing lane into the post.

[mystargtr34]

Seriously you sub Patty in for Tony and the Spurs are back in the game..

[Budkin]

Why do the Rockets suddenly own us?

[ElNono]

:lol forcing the big to switch then doesn't know what to do

[timtonymanu]

Porker is the only point guard that makes the Rockets D seem legit:lol

Yeah he turns into 2015 Porker against the Rockets. Unbelievable.

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker 0/3 :lmao no shame

Draymond Green seems like Magic Johnson compared to Porky:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Harden will always kill us. I mean, he's guarding Danny Green. Simmons killed that clown last time, should've started him

[loveforthegame]

Verde 3!

[SAGirl]

WTF is this? lol

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully this is the Verde we get in 2016

[NASpurs]

At least Green's shot showed up for the new year

[Kawhitstorm]

Yeah he turns into 2015 Porker against the Rockets. Unbelievable.

It's b/c of Dwight/Capela; there is nothing Porker fears more than athletic big black men.:lol

[From Downtown]

V3RD3 AGAIN

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi!

[loveforthegame]

How Leonard catch that ball. Damn.

[FkLA]

Best player on the team with 0 FGAs. Again. Will probably have to wait for Rique to sub out to get his first shot up. Again.

Let's laugh about it as if it isn't cause for concern though.

[From Downtown]

C'MON

[NASpurs]

Verde sighting!!

[SpursFan86]

Well, at least Green is showing up

[loveforthegame]

Verde on fire!

[Ron Swanson]

More of that, Danny!

[Slime Baller]

I'm not down to watch the Spurs blow it against the Rockets this soon again.

[r0drig0lac]

lol danny

[Darius Bieber]

Rockets on a three game losing streak, but the Spurs suck so much that Rockets will win by 20+

[From Downtown]

H3'S ON FIR33333333

[NASpurs]

LDN is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

[sasaint]

We forget how to play basketball against Houston. It's absolutely amazing.

This is much closer to the truth than the belief that the Rockettes play particularly well against us.

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit

[midnightpulp]

Why do the Rockets suddenly own us?

Playing them on or after a holiday.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Danny saved the team's ass

[From Downtown]

Y333333333333333333333S

[Nathan89]

LDN is back boys

[ElNono]

LDN!!

[r0drig0lac]

Danny 2k mode on

[Das Texan]

and just like that the hot portion of icy/hot finally appears.

[james evans]

damn danny green!! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL SEASON? yes, exploit that harden defense!!!

[myhc]

verde mother fucker is BACK! glad to have him back!

[ddjeffries]

[100%duncan]

hater :lmao

[timtonymanu]

LDN is back!!!

[ceperez]

Roundup all those Danny Green detractors pronto!!!

[ElNono]

Harden will always kill us. I mean, he's guarding Danny Green. Simmons killed that clown last time, should've started him

What about Green? :lol

[Kikoluna]

For all the green haters, you're welcome

[Horry Hipcheck]

Lmao Danny Green suddenly going 2013 Finals

[TheGreatYacht]

Holy fucking shit.... Someone must've told him not to dribble anymore :wow

Green :worthy:

[Perry Mason]

And Parker is not the only one to blame for the slow start. As I said no one was moving. Kawhi was playing slow. Good thing LDN stopped passing up open shots!

[beirmeistr]

what is LDN?

[littlecoyotecoin]

Dribble...throw it out of bounds...

Don't dribble...molten fire from three...

[NASpurs]

GR333333N

[FkLA]

hater strikes again :lmao

[NASpurs]

[sasaint]

Hopefully this is the Verde we get in 2016

Please, God!

[Ron Swanson]

That was a dumb foul.

[Texas_Ranger]

what a stupid foul...

[SAGirl]

Dribble...throw it out of bounds...

Don't dribble...molten fire from three...
Coyote, you made me laugh.
Yes! Stick to the 3 verde!

[timtonymanu]

Can Timmy and LMA play defense?

[TheGreatYacht]

About time Timmy comes out. He just ain't right

[lilbthebasedgod]

Let's take green out!

[lilbthebasedgod]

OK nvm

[SAGirl]

Wow 12 points by Verde. Has to be unreal.
The payback game for everyone that wanted him benched!

[NASpurs]

Spurs are scoring at will for some odd reason now

[NASpurs]

Holy shit!! Det Manu pass to LMA

[Ron Swanson]

That pass

[loveforthegame]

Whew LMA.

[r0drig0lac]

dat defense

[Raven]

dayum

[james evans]

it's been asked for years, but why does the ball move so well when parker sits down?

[From Downtown]

Manu though...

[sasaint]

That Rocket defense!:lol

[SAGirl]

Manu bullet pass.

[NASpurs]

Amazing how the offense opens up when the ball handler has court vision.

[ddjeffries]

LA heating up

[Biggems]

I hate that turtle headed MF

[mystargtr34]

Tony Parker :lmao

[beirmeistr]

amazing what a difference it is with tp out and 3 bench players in

[100%duncan]

Amazing how the offense opens up when the ball handler has court vision.

[Slime Baller]

Thank you, Manu.

[Mal]

West and Aldridge must love playing with Manu

[sasaint]

I don't recall LMA's playing with this kind of energy.

[Ron Swanson]

Pass pass pass seems to work better than dribble dribble dribble

[loveforthegame]

Dangerous pass but thankfully got the foul call.

[loveforthegame]

Dumb turnover and dumb foul.

[spursistan]

Simmons fucking up lately with his passes

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons passing up a corner 3 & about to get benched:lol

[100%duncan]

Why doesn't manu challenge? Fucking dumbass

[loveforthegame]

Mills 3!

[Ron Swanson]

Gday mate!

[sasaint]

Simmons with a live ball TO.

[NASpurs]

Damn Spurs need some defense tho

[SAGirl]

I would say Simmons did need to shoot that 3 instead of the TO.

[Perry Mason]

Can the defense stop fouling and get back in transition?

[100%duncan]

Thank god for this back up PG.

[sasaint]

Pass pass pass seems to work better than dribble dribble dribble

:lmao. :toast

[TheGreatYacht]

Clutchfans kept laughing at the Spurs bigs for always falling for Jones' pump fake :lmao

Boris lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

They should quit biting on Terrence Jones shot fakes, he isn't Curry

[loveforthegame]

Bobo!

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo!

[Kawhitstorm]

Clutchfans kept laughing at the Spurs bigs for always falling for Jones' pump fake :lmao

Boris lmao

[100%duncan]

lol manu u dumbass

[loveforthegame]

Thank god for this back up PG.

[loveforthegame]

Simmons sloppy out there.

[SAGirl]

Simmons starting to scare me. Could have easily been a charge.

[NASpurs]

Boban better play some of the 2nd quarter for TD. TD looked like shit

[sasaint]

I would say Simmons did need to shoot that 3 instead of the TO.

Looked like he was afraid his release wasn't quick enough to beat the close-out.

[100%duncan]

Shoot it simmons fuck

[Darius Bieber]

Looks like they added the Fanduel advertisement on the court now.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green sucked up JSimm's skill bruh smh

[Slime Baller]

Looks like they added the Fanduel advertisement on the court now.

I think they were there last game too, at least. Probably earlier.

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban better play some of the 2nd quarter for TD. TD looked like shit

Tim is probably rust as fuck & it doesn't help that he's old

[sasaint]

Boban better play some of the 2nd quarter for TD. TD looked like shit

Boban has earned the right to go against Howard, if only for one trip.

[TheGreatYacht]

Co-sign
They said Spurs are the only ones who fall for it, he gets shitted on by everyone else. He's not a good shooter, at all

[ElNono]

Gotta tighten up the defense... Offense is working now

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi one shot out of transition.

And you wonder why the starters offense is so predictable...Dribble dribble dribble.

Thank God for Danny Green

[thiste]

Is there a stat for provoking opponent's offensive fouls? Patty has to be topping that list.

[Cry Havoc]

Missed the first. Danny Green 4-5 from downtown? Can I get a hell yeah?

[sasaint]

I think they were there last game too, at least. Probably earlier.

I noticed it last game for the first time.

[Kawhitstorm]

Green sucked up JSimm's skill bruh smh

Should play Fathead after how Draymond shredded the Rockets by finding cutters

[NASpurs]

Boban has earned the right to go against Howard, if only for one trip.

Shit, that's what I want to see. Just one time especially against a team like Houston.

[Nathan89]

Missed the first. Danny Green 4-5 from downtown? Can I get a hell yeah?

Hell yeah!

[NASpurs]

Pop waiving the white flag bringing Tony

[sasaint]

Gotta tighten up the defense... Offense is working now

Cannot give up 27 in the first quarter at home.

[Kawhitstorm]

They said Spurs are the only ones who fall for it, he gets shitted on by everyone else. He's not a good shooter, at all

It's the same w/ Mirotic, just b/c he has a shot fake & makes 3s occasionally it doesn't mean he's a good shooter. You also have the Diaw shot fake that nobody bites:lol

[100%duncan]

:lol porker

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ, Parker

[ddjeffries]

lol rockets fans complaining about riffing when they have James Harden

[Ron Swanson]

That Parker led team though.

[Texas_Ranger]

shooting is bad

[ElNono]

Fuck man make a shot

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny has sapped Patty's shooting touch:depressed

[Spurs_619]

Trade parker

[sasaint]

fucking Parker can not do anything on the court

[SpursFan86]

What is that, 5 wide open missed shots in a row?
