Another win over the Rockets would be grand :tu

[JeffDuncan]

Go Spurs Go!

Is Lonnie confirmed out?

Yay, better than I feared.

Every time Harden drives, Spurs fans at the game should yell, "dunk it!"

[Fireball]

glad to hear Lonnie seems healthy ... I am pretty sure Pop would like to have him guard Harden the whole game but with the incident from last game I doubt he will get that much playing time

[timtonymanu]

A road game that’s not in Mexico against a playoff team.. don’t think the Spurs have good odds.

[RC_Drunkford]

Curious to see if Aldridge shows up. He's usually on fire in Houston everytime we play there

[John B]

I hope it’s not going to be another 25 trips to the line for Harden. It’s ridiculous how NBA officilas suck to this guy. Defense coach really needs to emphasize how to guard him. Have the discipline not to reach when he shows that ball, and take the charge

[Dex]

Rockets gon' be mad.

[Leetonidas]

Harden will have double digit FTs by half time

[Larry O]

Well, the Spurs have a puncher's chance if they come with energy & play competitive ball. Gotta play solid defense & hit their shots, & above all, don't give in to Harden's fool's ball antics! It would be good to have LW4 back to play defense against him. It appears that the Spurs have "cracked the code," & figured how to defend the Beard to some extent. I'm sure that the Rocketts want some revenge from not having their grievance to go their way, so they will most likely come out swinging & want to punch the Spurs in the mouth. GSG, & get the OT win, again! :)

[Larry O]

WOO HOO!!! LW4 has been confirmed to be in the lineup per Spurs' PR report! GSG!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

WOO HOO!!! LW4 has been confirmed to be in the lineup per Spurs' PR report! GSG!!!

Is he starting?

[Joseph Kony]

Is he starting?

Is Forbes still on the roster?

[RC_Drunkford]

Is Forbes still on the roster?

:lmao yea I got my hopes up to soon I guess

[Larry O]

Na, but he'll be in the lineup to come off the bench, most likely, although it would be the right and smart decision to start him in place of Sparty, tbh.

[Mugen]

I don't even care that the Rockets are gonna murder the Spurs tonight (got the Rox covering -10).

That last game will easily be the highlight of the season. Blowing a 20 point lead against this crappy Spurs team then the subsequent bitchfest to the league when they get the most calls by any team by far...what a disgrace.

That win is probably my second favorite Rockets game after Game 6 in 2017 :lmao

[sasaint]

Another win over the Rockets would be grand :tu

In the bag. After the denied protest, they will take no prisoners. Rockets by 35.

[raybies]

Go Spurs Go... Rise of the SniffWalkers

[Shakril]

I dont know why, but i have a good feeling today.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao forbes

[EasyMoney]

First possession and formes gets beat

[timtonymanu]

Brent Forms :flag:

[SpurPadre]

We can lose by 50 today but as long as faggot doesn't win in San Antonio on Saturday, it's all good.

[Leetonidas]

Well that was unexpected

[raybies]

:wow

[Robz4000]

:wow What the fuck am I watching? Spurs actually look dominant.

[spurs10]

I dont know why, but i have a good feeling today. Give me some of what you got! :smokin

Actually you never know. Maybe this 'we want revenge' from the Rockets will take them away from their game. Haren will be trying to score every possession.

[Strategic]

Free league pass. Yup

[GB20]

:wow

[timvp]

"LOL @ Pop going back to a lineup that didn't work"

[r0drig0lac]

twilight zone

[timvp]

It's only downhill from here but fun start, tbh.

[EasyMoney]

The Spurs will somehow lose this lead before the quarter is over

[GB20]

This team should spend more time in Mexico with the way they are playing.

[timtonymanu]

Rockets are the only good team the spurs look like world beaters against.

But spurs have blown big leads like this before, still lol Rockets.

[Shakril]

Give me some of what you got! :smokin

Actually you never know. Maybe this 'we want revenge' from the Rockets will take them away from their game. Haren will be trying to score every possession.

Still Cautios, spurs are hitting everything and Houston missing everything. But i like how spurs defend the glass - one and done for the rockets.

[KDKSpurs24]

Big first quarter leads usually never last for anyone

[KimmyGib]

In before Rockets tie it up before end of first quarter

[timtonymanu]

Big first quarter leads usually never last for anyone

Hasn’t been the case for some of the teams the spurs have played against this year :lol

[timtonymanu]

DJ looks great so far

[Leetonidas]

Lol

[r0drig0lac]

2way player dejounte murray

harden bout to go for 70 now smh

[Mugen]

Dejounte just earned his contract on that :lol

[KDKSpurs24]

Hasn’t been the case for some of the teams the spurs have played against this year :lol
That’s not true. We always came back and made it a game. I’m not saying the team comes back and win I’m saying they come back and make the game close

[DC23]

Looks like Pop is getting a bit fed up with how slow LMA is at getting up and down the court.

[Shakril]

Houston has terrible defense, and they want to win a title with that?

[r0drig0lac]

great first

[timtonymanu]

Best I’ve seen the spurs start all season.

[sasaint]

Houston has terrible defense, and they want to win a title with that?

D'Antoni D.

[Leetonidas]

Really surprised the spurs didn't send harden to the line once :wow

[timvp]

Eat it, Rockets, tbh.

[timvp]

Really surprised the spurs didn't send harden to the line once :wow

Good call. Lyles of all players with some smart D on Harden that quarter.

[$pursDynasty]

Looks like Pop is getting a bit fed up with how slow LMA is at getting up and down the court.
Are we looking at the same game? LMA getting his touches and played the entire quarter

[timtonymanu]

Houston has terrible defense, and they want to win a title with that?

They lost their best shot in 2017. No way they’re winning a title. The Lakers and clippers are the contenders out West

[Shakril]

D'Antoni D.

Even for him thats terrible. Spurs are open all over the place.

[timtonymanu]

Harden, Westbrook, thabo. Where is Perkins to add to this 2012 Okc roster ?

[sasaint]

Looks like Pop is getting a bit fed up with how slow LMA is at getting up and down the court.

I thought LMA moved much better than usual.

[Strategic]

First game I’ve watched this season. What’s all the fuss about?

[timvp]

Why the hell put in Forbes?

[Leetonidas]

Walker needs to be more active on offense. He's too passive standing in the corner and defers on the break too much

[Arcadian]

Give the Spurs credit - they've figured out how to contain Harden's bitch ass.

[LakerHater]

https://images2.imgbox.com/e0/14/iiRZzfQF_o.gif

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Why is Forbes back in already

[Leetonidas]

I'm glad he's scoring but jesus some of these shots Forbes is taking :lol

[r0drig0lac]

stephen forbes

[Ron Swanson]

What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

[EasyMoney]

Demar been resting a while now

[timtonymanu]

Brent Forms!!

[$pursDynasty]

This keeps up we might get some Metu minutes

[timvp]

D'Antoni and D'Edgelords in shambles.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs need more teams protesting their wins

[$pursDynasty]

Loaded magazine

[Shakril]

Well my Good Feeling did not betray me *phew*

[Chinook]

What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

Houston isn't that good of a team. Their ceiling comes from having two MVPs, but at this point, Russ' and Harden's weaknesses are well-known. Harden is clearly the best player on either team, but Westbrook is pretty equal to LMA and DeRozan, and the rest of the rosters aren't even close. Gordon is the only wildcard.

[timtonymanu]

D'Antoni and D'Edgelords in shambles.

Not this edgelord. Rocket meltdowns are always worth it lol

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Why is Forbes back in already

I guess that is why

[koriwhat]

damn them spurs are lighting it up rn! hope they keep this up because they are looking like straight up bullies atm.

[timvp]

The Spurs make no sense. Play like rotting garbage against trash teams and play like an NBA team against good teams.

[Darius Bieber]

Am I watching actual basketball?

[spurs10]

D'Antoni and D'Edgelords in shambles. :rollin

[timvp]

Give Harden another T, tbh.

[timvp]

Brent Formvp.

[sasaint]

Give Harden another T, tbh.

Another? Did he get one already?

[$pursDynasty]

Loaded magazine again

[koriwhat]

lol at these rockets announcers kissing harden's ass after that blatant elbow.

[DAF86]

Too early to be celebrating folks. A 20 pts game in today's NBA, and specially vs the Rockets, it's like a 5 pts game of yesterday's NBA. It wouldn't shock me if the Rockets end up winning by 20.

[212094ever]

Forms is feeling it

[timtonymanu]

Brent Formvp.

:lol

[timvp]

Why the hell put in Forbes?

Forgive me, Lord.

Pretty true, tbh. Rockets need about a good three minute stretch to tie this up.

[spurraider21]

bryn refusing to miss out there

[Shakril]

Sadly, Poeltl has a bad game and forbes is still a liability on defense (makes it up with offense though).

[EasyMoney]

All it takes is 2 harden 3s, a flop and an and 1 to completely flip the momentum.

[Mugen]

Fucking Wall-E knew I had money on the Rockets :lol

[r0drig0lac]

even a broken clock is right twice a day

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Luckily Forbes is on fire, because Westbrook is eating him up on the other end

[timvp]

Brent Forms just earned himself another 20 games as a starter, tbh.

[spurraider21]

I don't even care that the Rockets are gonna murder the Spurs tonight (got the Rox covering -10).

That last game will easily be the highlight of the season. Blowing a 20 point lead against this crappy Spurs team then the subsequent bitchfest to the league when they get the most calls by any team by far...what a disgrace.

is that the game where manu blocked harden? cause there are others... man, the game where #2 made the game winning 3 followed by swatting the shit out of harden... also the game where timmy swatted the shit out of harden

[Degoat]

Forbes haters eating shit tonight lmao

[Genovaswitness]

derozan is such a psychotic sack of shit

[timvp]

Forms with some accidental defense :wow

[KimmyGib]

Despite being a below average NBA team, it's reassuring to know Spurs somehow can compete against Rockets and Clippers.

[timvp]

Lyles fouling Westbrook on a jumper? Ouch.

[EasyMoney]

Demar just fucking things up right now

[KDKSpurs24]

derozan is such a psychotic sack of shit
He’s forcing shots just because he’s not the one scoring tonight... wtf

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Forbes haters eating shit tonight lmao

If anything this game actually just shows how well suited he is to come off the bench. He has showcased his ability to provide instant offense, while displaying what even for him is poor D. His talents would be maximized by guarding backups and having a big bright green light in limited minutes on the court

[sasaint]

He’s forcing shots just because he’s not the one scoring tonight... wtf

Gotta assert himself.

[timvp]

:tu @ Mad Murray

[sasaint]

If anything this game actually just shows how well suited he is to come off the bench. He has showcased his ability to provide instant offense, while displaying what even for him is poor D.

Now convince Pop...

[Leetonidas]

Wtf is derozan doing

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes haters eating shit tonight lmao

funny

[Leetonidas]

Wtf is derozan doing

[212094ever]

DJ!!!

[Leetonidas]

Seriously what the FUCK is this retard doing????

[KDKSpurs24]

DeRozan is fucking killing us!!!!!!!

[212094ever]

DeProzac ruining everything, tbh

[Leetonidas]

Spurs would be up 30 if it wasn't for that retarded fuck derozan

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

This team is so much better when Murray/White can both turn in solid games. So often this year one plays well while the other is horrible or both have been mediocre. They don't have to be spectacular, just dialed in defensively & playing to their strengths

[R. DeMurre]

DeRozan's IQ is bottom of the barrel.

[NickiRasgo]

Stupid Derozan.

[DAF86]

With Derrick White in instead of DeRozan to end the half this would be a 35+ pts game right now.

[Robz4000]

Fuck DeRozan

[swrowe78]

I'm scared Spurs will find a way to lose this game

[$pursDynasty]

Only DeFrozen could slow momentum in that half

[Mugen]

:lol Fucking Demar

[Genovaswitness]

fucking retarded harden acting like he's hot shit after hitting that 3

[timvp]

After all that good D, how the hell does Mills end up defending Harden on the last play?

Imagine how much the Spurs would be up if DeRozan didn't bog down the flow and Westbrook wasn't having the half of his life, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

DeRozan's IQ is bottom of the barrel.


Stupid Derozan.

Wut? Been watching MNF.

[Robz4000]

I don't know how anyone can watch this team and think DeRozan shouldn't be traded.

[itzsoweezee]

DeMar's still trash. God I fucking hate this scrub

[kjhip1]

What team does Demar play for?

[Spurtacular]

fucking retarded harden acting like he's hot shit after hitting that 3

2-3 following 2-14 is pretty hot shit, obviously.

[Mugen]

It's Pop so 1 of Patty/Forbes/Beli will have to be on the court at the same time, but why the fuck is dumbass Demar not playing over White after that garbage 1st half.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DeRozan needs the Carroll treatment ASAP

Not feeling good about the third quarter, rockets have zero resistance at the rim and harden won’t stay cold forever

[sasaint]

I'm scared Spurs will find a way to lose this game

Yep. Pop gonna encourage Dumbmar to take charge.

[kjhip1]

DeRozan needs the Carroll treatment ASAP

Not feeling good about the third quarter, rockets have zero resistance at the rim and harden won’t stay cold forever

Let WB think he’s hot shit. He’ll f it up for Rockets

[Genovaswitness]

He’s forcing shots just because he’s not the one scoring tonight... wtf

he just has that insecure bitch made mentality. it's so easy to get in and understand his simpleton brain

[R. DeMurre]

Wtf is derozan doing


Seriously what the FUCK is this retard doing????


derozan is such a psychotic sack of shit


Demar just fucking things up right now


DeRozan is fucking killing us!!!!!!!


DeProzac ruining everything, tbh

[sananspursfan21]

I don’t get this team. Still a whole half to go but they’re playing ridiculously. But then the Suns should have won the other night. Either suck or don’t Spurs, you’re killing us!!!

[Kurgan]

Demar doesn't give a shit if he wins or loses. He just wants his 20 points on 50% average so he can leverage a new contract in free agency. It's obvious he's a bad fit with this team with how poorly he ran the offense to close the half. "Bogs down" is the correct word. He's been doing that for two seasons now. Funny thing is, trading him wouldn't be blowing it up. We'd probably get a lot better(or close to the Kawhi-less 2018 team that made the playoffs)

[SASdynasty!]

Harden is so terrible it’s really not funny. Without his flopping, he is truly a below average player.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Now convince Pop...

It's funny how Pop isn't a fan of the 3pt shot, but clearly places a great value on players that can shoot and the only thing he may love more than a great shooter is a really hard worker. Whatever you think of Bryn, he is obviously a great shooter & a really hard worker which is why I think Pop is so stuck on Forbes

[sasaint]

My friends, Dumbmar may be trash, but he can't pull that shit without an enabler.

[Strategic]

Some of Michael’s kids doing half time.

[R. DeMurre]

After all that good D, how the hell does Mills end up defending Harden on the last play?

Imagine how much the Spurs would be up if DeRozan didn't bog down the flow and Westbrook wasn't having the half of his life, tbh.

The potential of this team is so much higher without DeRozan.

[sasaint]

It's funny how Pop isn't a fan of the 3pt shot, but clearly places a great value on players that can shoot and the only thing he may love more than a great shooter is a really hard worker. Whatever you think of Bryn, he is obviously a great shooter & a really hard worker which is why I think Pop is so stuck on Forbes

Bryn is not a great shooter. he is way to streaky. He is breaking out of a slump tonight. :tu

[itzsoweezee]

Demar doesn't give a shit if he wins or loses. He just wants his 20 points on 50% average so he can leverage a new contract in free agency.

Absolutely. It would be addition by subtraction. Just get him off the team. Trade him for another expecting contact if you have to

[sasaint]

The potential of this team is so much higher without DeRozan.

Somebody has to get that message through to Pop - somehow!

[Spurs Brazil]

I’ll say it again. DeRozan needs to go ASAP.

[Kurgan]

The potential of this team is so much higher without DeRozan.

Yup, every team he's been on has been better when he's off the court according to the On-Off numbers. An entire career of cancerous play is not a coincidence. It's a pattern. But his defenders will quote his multiple all-star appearances in a garbage Eastern Conference that was starving for talent.

[Mugen]

Ehhhhhhhh

[vander]

Bryn guaranteed to be a starter for the rest of the year now, FO probably drafting that extension right now too

I hope it’s not going to be another 25 trips to the line for Harden. It’s ridiculous how NBA officilas suck to this guy. Defense coach really needs to emphasize how to guard him. Have the discipline not to reach when he shows that ball, and take the charge
Great defensive scouting on not fouling Harden.

[LakerHater]

Oh my god DAVIS BERTANS TO MARKIEFF MORRIS: “You’re a *****.”

The Latvian Laser legend grows. https://t.co/FmXKG6xUU6

[Leetonidas]

Has Forbes ever taken a charge? Dude needs to quit being so soft and learn how to sacrifice his body

[Mugen]

Fun 1st half. Still time for the Rockets to cover though :lol

[Robz4000]

Spurs get to choke a 20 point lead this time.

[Shakril]

Ok, i hope Poeltl gets it together in the 2nd half, it seems his D will be needed.

[DAF86]

Spurs get to choke a 20 point lead this time.

Unfortunately, one can sense it in the air.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Fun 1st half. Still time for the Rockets to cover though :lol

Spurs gave up 32 in the second quarter. There's more than enough time if Forbes isn't unconscious in the second half.

[koriwhat]

yep confirmed, china owns the rockets! i mean did yall just see that weak excuse of a bootleg coyote just now? nothing but cheap shit and a fake product just like rockets and harden.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs forgot how to play defense again

[Strategic]

Seeing this team for 1st time this year it’s disappointing what level DeRozan is playing at. It’s a pretty low percentage of players that have come to the Spurs mid career and been able to contribute like we want. Wtf

[Kurgan]

Is there a more mentally weak player in NBA history than Dumbar? Fumbling the ball and missing shots when the pressure's on.

[Leetonidas]

Sweet now in comes Mills to get abused by Westbrook

[Robz4000]

Get DeRozan and Forbes off the court for fucks sake.

[$pursDynasty]

Get DePression out of the game

[sasaint]

Spurs forgot how to play defense again

Offense, too. How many points did we have at the half?

[Spurtacular]

Statistically, Westbrook shouldn't take (even open) threes.

[Leetonidas]

What a meltdown. All happening with Derozan on the floor. Get this fucking loser off our team already

[TheRemix]

Spurs losing the game right on cue

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Of course let’s continue to settle for jumpers :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Fun while that lasted.

[John B]

And Forbes back to the bench :lol

[212094ever]

Predictable

[ZeusWillJudge]

Offense, too. How many points did we have at the half?


They've been outscored 15-3 in the third... so far.

[BatManu20]

Can’t hit a shot, not playing defense, and not rebounding.

Bold strategy tbh.

[Mugen]

I've been waiting for a game where Dejounte and White are both playing well to see what Pop will do.

Not surprised tbh :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Trash ass popovich and his shitty lineups throwing away another game

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Would think a White/Murray lineup or Walker would make sense against the Rockets, but no Pop goes with Patty

[Spurtacular]

Spurs forgot how to play defense again

I can't take out the worst defensive player in the league. Forbes's three shooting is too valuable.

:pop:

Besides, we're up 19 and I can always hack a Capella if we need to.

:pop:

[Leetonidas]

Poop with the predictable marco insertion :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You know it’s dark times when Marco comes in for DeRozan and you are grateful

[sasaint]

They've been outscored 15-3 in the third... so far.

The Dumbmar Effect at both ends.

[ZeusWillJudge]

You know it’s dark times when Marco comes in for DeRozan and you are grateful


I refuse to be grateful for Beli coming into a game. At least until he's with another team.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

I've been waiting for a game where Dejounte and White are both playing well to see what Pop will do.

Not surprised tbh :lol

Exactly both guys are doing well and White has been shooting much better from 3pt line than beginning of year. Bput one on Harden other on Westbrook. I can't imagine offense would be worse than what we are watching now - guess it is too obvious

[KDKSpurs24]

The fuck is Marco in for?

[Mugen]

Patty and Beli :lol

[poopbox]

Sean keeps acting like LMA isn't the reason why the spurs never get anything out of him getting doubled teamed

[timtonymanu]

All fingers point to Pop if this game is lost again :lol

[KDKSpurs24]

Automatic miss if Marco isn’t leaning..

[Kurgan]

The Dumbmar Effect at both ends.

The ball just stops moving when that idiot is in the game. It's disgusting to watch

[Sugus]

Get Marco off the fucking floor..........

[Mugen]

So take Beli out now....just missed 2 wide open shots...

[ZeusWillJudge]

Patty and Beli :lol

:pop: "I'm bringing the in in reverse order to see how that works."

[Sugus]

The ball just stops moving when that idiot is in the game. It's disgusting to watch

"But he doesn't make the Spurs worse!!" :lol

[Spurtacular]

I tuned in to watch a free throw exhibition. I'm thoroughly satisfied.

[sasaint]

All fingers point to Pop if this game is lost again :lol

I got one finger I point at Pop all the time, tbh.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Is Walker not available this half or just Pop choosing to go with Beli?

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs really gonna blow a 25 point lead lmao

[Kurgan]

If he's not going to make his open threes, Marco shouldn't be playing

[Mugen]

Beli responsible for that Mclemore 3 :lol

[Leetonidas]

There are literally 0 coaches in the league besides Pop that wouldn't play Murray/White/Walker together

[KDKSpurs24]

Automatic miss if Marco isn’t leaning..

[Robz4000]

:lmao Beli
:lmao Pop

[spurs1990]

Is Walker still hobbled. Why is Marco getting minutes in this second half?

[EasyMoney]

Why is Marco in the game

[ZeusWillJudge]

There are literally 0 coaches in the league besides Pop that wouldn't play Murray/White/Walker together


You're wrong. White is the one hurting this team. :lol

[Mugen]

Crofl at those Beli minutes. Holy fuck.

[$pursDynasty]

If Belli shot not falling put in Lonnie, but please no DePression

[Spurtacular]

Good thing IV is sitting; we need Beli missing threes and playing shitty defense.

[Mugen]

So Lonnie benched now because he didnt have a great 1st half but Beli will probably get another shot in the 4th quarter.

Good god, how shitty is this coach.

[Strategic]

No worries, Forbes will save the 4th quarter.

[John B]

I don’t know why when Spurs got outscored, Pop counter with Mills and Beli :bang

[YoungbuckMurray]

Get Marco out, if he’s gonna brick everything he’s less than useless. Get walker in FFS Pop

[ZeusWillJudge]

If he's not going to make his open threes, Marco shouldn't be taking up oxygen


FIFY

[Mugen]

Then he subs in loser ass Derozan :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Good thing IV is sitting; we need Beli missing threes and playing shitty defense.


That may be... but at least he's slow.

[KDKSpurs24]

Rudy is allergic to the ball when dribbling

[spurs1990]

Then he subs in loser ass Derozan :lol

Incorrect. "Consumate professional" DeRozan per San Antonio media

[Leetonidas]

Does derozan not realize spurs are over the foul limit? Fucking idiot

[Mugen]

No rim protector on the floor and they settle for a Rudy gay fadeaway, jesus christ

[paperboy77]

Pop already working on making his Mark_ on this game. Why Pop? Why? He should throw a wave of Murray, White and Lonnie at Harden/Westrbrick. But nah.... he rolls instead with Marco.

[Mugen]

Literally nobody to protect the rim and they settle :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Early grades DeFrozen trending towards a D+ at best

[Mugen]

Is this moron really challenging that call? :lol

[212094ever]

DDR and Rudy smh

[Kurgan]

Does derozan not realize spurs are over the foul limit? Fucking idiot

He doesn't even try to play any semblance of defense. Just immediately fouls him.

[Mugen]

:lol
