[Chinook]

:lol Rockets

[bklynspursfan]

Rockets just choked a 26 point lead. harden committed consecutive offensive fouls lmao

[spursistan]

Rockets choking 26 point lead vs Boston.. :lmao.

[ducks]

Rockets lose

[spursistan]

A Harden-led team is supposed to be the Warriors "toughest challenge" :lol..

If only Kawhi was healthy..

[SAGirl]

Tony with a step out of bounds TO, have to limit those.

btw didn't realize Tony has a cut so short that he's emulating MVPelon's look.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker needs to be aggressive. Not everything has to be a Fatridge postup

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Mr. Body]

Rockets domme of the dumbest players ever.

[SAGirl]

:lma

[Ron Swanson]

What the hell was that, Kyle? :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

The slow ice man :wow

[TheGreatYacht]

A+ game from Kyle. Shut my ass up :lol

[Ron Swanson]

The slow ice man :wow

The Glacier

[spursgu]

James Frauden :lol

[ElNono]

goddamn, Kyle, dont give it right back!

[SAGirl]

manu celebrating Kyle's bucket warms my heart.... so unlike mr nono.

[Rocalcio]

Kyle is the new buzzer beater mate !

[NASpurs]

Parker, Mills, Forbes and Manu playing at the same time. What a time to be alive.

*edit* Ok that was for like a minute. :lol

[ElNono]

Manu in, time to close this

[SAGirl]

Manu should have shot a step back jumpshot instead of the TO.

[Spurtacular]

Pop trying to stop Pau's triple double.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu single handily letting them in

[ElNono]

TP sat down, we definitely are in crunch time...

[SAGirl]

El nino rico Forbes

[ElNono]

easy win, tbh

[Spurtacular]

TP sat down, we definitely are in crunch time...

:lmao Truth bombs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop's benching of Fatty and Manure truly won us the game tbh...

[Robz4000]

Pop benching everyone way too early, per par.

[SAGirl]

Dijon making that looks easy. He had a nice game in the few minutes we saw him.

[Ron Swanson]

Free throws :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

4 straight missed FTs for the point god

[Robz4000]

:lmao Murray

[bklynspursfan]

Pop benching everyone way too early, per par.

The game was over man lol

[spurs10]

Hack a Dijon!

[raybies]

Kyle had a near perfect game tonight.


anyone see Harden implode in Boston tonight?

[BanditHiro]

lol 8 seconds

[bklynspursfan]

French and Latvian reunions going on

[SAGirl]

VICTORY
:flag:

[Robz4000]

The game was over man lol

No it wasn't. Spurs got bailed out by a poor decision by Jack. If he passes it to Lee for the open three it's a five point game with 50 seconds to go.

[SAGirl]

Kyle had a near perfect game tonight.


anyone see Harden implode in Boston tonight?
He had a good game. :bobo
I missed the implosion.. spill the beans!

[BillMc]

VICTORY
:flag:

Beat me to it. :lol:toast

[SAGirl]

Murray made a jumpshot at the end, but wow 2-7 FT shooting.

[BillMc]

Kyle had a near perfect game tonight.


anyone see Harden implode in Boston tonight?

What happened? I saw Boston had a big rally, what did the Beard do?

[Seventyniner]

+26 for Anderson, wow. -12 for Manu, hard to do in a double digit win.

[boutons_deux]

What happened? I saw Boston had a big rally, what did the Beard do?

TO charge

[raybies]

He had a good game. :bobo
I missed the implosion.. spill the beans!
not sure if the spill the beans part was a pun or not but Houston had to use two timeouts to get the ball in, they finally get it in. Harden makes two free throws, they go up 3. Boston makes a layup, down one. Smart draws a charge on Harden gets the ball. Horford scores. Then no timeouts Harden pushes Smart again for another charge. He's just shocked and dazed like. Horford misses the first then purposefully misses the second almost getting it back Houston gets it and chunks it for the loss. Epic meltdown.

[Robz4000]

Any word on Rudy Gay yet other than soreness?

[SpurPadre]

Just 3 back of Houston now

[Chinook]

Danny looked miserable to whole second half. I didn't like that he told Griffen that his has "other things [he's] worried about" other than the groin. Too many injured wings.

[ElNono]

Kawhi is wiping his ass now

[BillMc]

TO charge

Thanks

[BillMc]

Pop really good at keeping Latvians from scoring.

thanks... yea I missed the houston thing. so the question was about that.

I saw him limp and I thought for sure he wasn't getting back in that game. I was surprised to see him back, but he was LDN tonight. He had the shot going and Manu had a miserable game. One of the reasons Forbes played almost 30 minutes. ..

It's too bad Brandon Paul has turned out to not be trusted by Pop and well, Derrick White is getting the rook treatment. Pop doesn't care if he's 23 and an NBA ready prospect, apparently.

[SAGirl]

Pop really good at keeping Latvians from scoring.
the knicks need a better point guard.
With all the switching the Spurs were doing and given how undersized they were with so many wings injured or not having good games, many times Porzingis was guarded by short guards and they couldn't get him the ball.

[Robz4000]

Pop is going to end up killing the whole team before he deems Kawhi ready to play regular minutes.

[BillMc]

Truth.

[Robz4000]

Fuck Napier. Dude is playing like a complete scrub tonight but the other night against the Spurs he was an All Star.

[cd021]

:depressed

Watch; Kawhi's gonna play 30 minutes at Detroit and then not play @ Knicks and @ Phily then finally plays against Phoenix six days later. Its frustrating.

[Fireball]

fun game if not for those damn injuries ... hopefully Bertans gets some of Rudys minutes

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle with 16 in only 4 fga is great

[bklynspursfan]

Danny looked miserable to whole second half. I didn't like that he told Griffen that his has "other things [he's] worried about" other than the groin. Too many injured wings.

And they've got a tough stretch coming up of like 5 games in 7 nights, 4 of which are on the road. I imagine he'll get some rest there. I'd sit him the next couple games and bring him back Wednesday, but who knows if that's enough time. I can't imagine it was serious otherwise he would've been taken out.
