[BillMc]

The Houston Rockets enter their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, unsure whether James Harden will be part of the contest. He is expected to join (https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2020/12/13/james-harden-pj-tucker-expected-to-practice-with-rockets-on-monday) team practice on Monday, so this could be his 2020-21 NBA preseason debut.
The San Antonio Spurs will hope to bounce back from their poor showing against the Thunder with their first NBA preseason win.

The Spurs are headed up I-10 for the first of back-to-back preseason matchups with the Houston Rockets.

The Spurs looked mostly disjointed in their first preseason game, which is not entirely surprising considering they are trying to put together a new offensive style while missing key pieces like White and Johnson. This led to Pop trotting out a dinosaur lineup of vets that looked all too similar to last season, and the results were predictable.

Unfortunately, DW and KJ are still expected to be sidelined tonight as well as Weatherspoon and Bates-Diop, so I don't expect any wholesale lineup changes. Part of the reason the Spurs were successful in the bubble was because Pop went mad scientist with the youngsters, but due to injuries, he couldn't do that right now even if he wanted to.

Houston, on the other hand, is just trying to recover from the disarray that is James Harden. After going on a Tour De Strippers, the Beard has returned to Houston and has somehow managed to pass 6 straight COVID tests to be cleared to participate. He has now begun attending team workouts, but it remains unclear whether he will play in his first preseason game tonight (let alone be a Rocket by the end of the season). Otherwise, they are hoping on a revival of the corpses of John Wall and Boogie Cousins to contend.

We'll see if the Spurs can build upon this new system, and if Pop is willing to throw out any new wrinkles tonight.

[BillMc]

The real story tonight is the return of James Harden, who returns to the team after passing the COVID-19 protocol that required him to test negative six consecutive times. Oh, and he kinda held out because he wants a trade. I’m still not sure how to handle that trade request in game previews, so I’ll direct you to the awesome coverage that others have had here on TDS. For now, I’ll say it will be nice to see Harden back in a Rockets jersey. Enjoy it, because it might be the last time you see it.Oh, and uh...San Antonio is going to be way better than anyone expects. Don’t let them fly under the radar. You get it by now.And they are going for Giannis Antetokounmpo next summer too.
Tip-off is at 7pm CT on AT&T SportsNet Southwest

John Wall, Boogie Cousins and Harden. Likable team....

Thank you gentlemen. Much needed thread :bobo

Didn't age well at all :lol :depressed

[PhantomDashCam]

Hoping Lonnie gets the start tonight. We have seen our version of ‘Crawl Ball’ last game, hoping that doesn’t become a trend.

[KobesAchilles]

Didn't age well at all :lol :depressed
Bud already did us a solid by taking Forbes away from us. We can't do him dirty like that by taking Giannis :lol

[BillMc]

Bud already did us a solid by taking Forbes away from us. We can't do him dirty like that by taking Giannis :lol

Bud also, if I remember correctly, took a washed-up Splitter in Atlanta for nothing, so we could make room to sign LMA. He's been good to us.

[Sugus]

Hoping Lonnie gets the start tonight. We have seen our version of ‘Crawl Ball’ last game, hoping that doesn’t become a trend.

Agreed. I don't care whether Jak-LMA start together, as long as Lonnie gets to play a bit. He's gotta fight through his limitations, and the best way to do it is playing the game as much as possible, tbh.

[look_at_g_shred]

Murray is not the answer at PG. He's just not. He has no knowledge of dribbling a basketball correctly much less running an NBA offense. Tre Jones already can do a much better job. The reason why the offense is so stagnant, it starts with Murray.

[rjv]

i really hope we get much better performances out of dj, luka and lonnie this go around.

[John B]

I'm hoping to see more of Vassell, Luka, Lonnie. They need all the on-court experience

[YoungbuckMurray]

Starters should be:

DJ/Walker/Vassell/DD/LMA

bench

Jones/Mills/Gay/Lyles or Luka/Poetl

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray is not the answer at PG. He's just not. He has no knowledge of dribbling a basketball correctly much less running an NBA offense. Tre Jones already can do a much better job. The reason why the offense is so stagnant, it starts with Murray.

everybody knows that. Just like everybody knew Forbes shouldn't start. Or that Belinelli shouldn't play at all. Except for Gregg Flopovich of course. Starting line up will be Murray/DeRozan/Gay/Aldridge/Poeltl. Rockets by 30

[Dejounte]

BREAKING NEWS* LUKA THE 7 FT CUCK IS NOT PLAYING TONIGHT *BREAKING NEWS

He's out with food poisoning

Welp. Only player worth watching is Vassell.

[gambit1990]

if harden plays then how many points do the rockets win by?

[gambit1990]

i've seen some people open to harden on the spurs... fück that. i mean... i guess, yeah, do it... just so you could flip him.

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/1338976058134159361?s=19

How do you miss three days because of food poisoning? Sounds suspicious.

[BackHome]

I guess you never had food poison? When you got stuff projecting from your Ass and Mouth at the same time yeah it’s going to take a few days to get over.

[Dejounte]

I guess you never had food poison? When you got stuff projecting from your Ass and Mouth at the same time yeah it’s going to take a few days to get over.

I have... Or so I thought I've had. Lasted two days at most for me.

https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/1338976058134159361?s=19

How do you miss three days because of food poisoning? Sounds suspicious.

I got food poisoning in Moscow once and was damn sick for more than a week. It happens, my friend.

[gambit1990]

one time i drank a decent amount of bad water. it's hard to explain how ugly it felt. i felt like i might fall of the edge of the earth :lol

anyways, i felt almost all the way back to normal after a handful of hours.

[timtonymanu]

I’ve had minor and major episodes of food poisoning. All so horrible, gws Luka. Hopefully you come back looking like an NBA player.

[Seventyniner]

Food poisoning sucks, and I would imagine it's worse for an athlete than a normal person due to energy and water demands.

[BackHome]

Had a friend driving his brand new car home from his parents he told me he was an hour out and he felt his stomach kinda contract and then all of a sudden he was spewing vomit and shitting in his pants. Till this day he has never touched Chicken Enchiladas and is still scared to fart. Lol

This sounds better.

[r0drig0lac]

John Wall, Boogie Cousins and Harden. Likable team....

healthy, they’re probably going to top the conference in the regular season.

[baseline bum]

Actually maybe I should hope they run that starting lineup from last game. Could get us to a 15 win season and a #1 pick, which would pretty much be best case scenario for this season.

[timvp]

Never trust a fart when over the age of 40.

[The Truth #6]

https://twitter.com/JeffGSpursZone/status/1338992053737447425?s=19

Will everybody shut up now?

35 years old is not old compared to Pop?

[Mugen]

DWhite's injury concerns should hopefully lead to a discounted extension.

But knowing the braintrust of this organization, they'll probably let him walk so they got more money to throw at Derozan in the summer :lol

[EasyMoney]

I'm guessing murray/walker/vassell/derozan/aldridge tonight to start

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaNBA/status/1338999435179778051?s=19
They're going to have to play big at some point. We're short quality smalls.

[DAF86]

https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaNBA/status/1338993406161412096?s=19

Fuck

Literally the two players I want to see the most. :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

I'm guessing murray/walker/vassell/derozan/aldridge tonight to start

i really hope so. Would be exactly what I want and the best starting lineup imo

[tmtcsc]

I disagree with saying Lonnie needs more minutes. What he needs is more skill. He's got all the athletic ability you could ask for in an NBA player but not the basketball instincts to go with it. He's dead to me. And Luka? Good Lord, enough already.

[Dex]

https://twitter.com/bouncepassos/status/1338993643340742656?s=19

This sounds better.

It's been said, but Derrick White's ongoing health issues are a concern.

He said quality tbh.

[poopbox]

What exactly is wrong with Derrick ? Still recovering from foot surgery ?

[EasyMoney]

Most likely.

If a basketball game happened with no one able to watch, did it actually happen?

James Harden chatting it up with Pop with his arm over him!

[BillMc]

Let's get some minutes for the young players.

James Harden chatting it up with Pop with his arm over him!

Strip club recommendations.

It was a good whole 10 minutes of strip club recommendations.

[Mugen]

Strip club recommendations.

:lol

[Mugen]

LMA looking fat AF tbh :lol

[Dejounte]

DeMar looking like Sideshow Bob

[Degoat]

At least Vassel should get lots of minutes with those guys out

[EasyMoney]

https://twitter.com/DanWeissPBP/status/1339011872515874817?s=19

Would prefer vassell over gay, but whatever.

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/DanWeissPBP/status/1339011872515874817?s=19

Would prefer vassell over gay, but whatever.

I wonder why Pop is walking back Lyles being a starter? Maybe rewarding Gay's offseason work?

[Dejounte]

Why are there so many people at this Rockets game? I thought no fans allowed?

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/RealTomPetrini/status/1339010585980264449?s=19

[spurs10]

Not showing on CW35...ideas?

[Degoat]

Any streams?

[poopbox]

Lonnie starting :blah

[Darius Bieber]

Sean Elliott sounds sick

[spurs10]

Any streams? Not finding it.

[Dejounte]

That 3 from DeMar looked. CONFIDENT

[Darius Bieber]

Not showing on CW35...ideas?

Its showing on Channel 35.1 for me locally on my OTA antenna.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lonnie already looking much better than last game

[SPURSCHAMP]

dmdr had no hesitation on that 3, looks good

[poopbox]

Lonnie :wow

[Dejounte]

Lonnie on a hot streak

[RC_Drunkford]

Lonnie 3/4 from 3

[EasyMoney]

San antonio finally looking like a modern day basketball team with this spacing and 3 point shooting

[YoungbuckMurray]

Keep running, that is how we need to play

[SPURSCHAMP]

murray with a nice find to lonnie, playing well this game

[Mugen]

I like it, Lonnie. Let that shit fly.

[Sugus]

Now THAT'S your game, Lonnie. Fuck the haters.

[Dejounte]

murray with a nice find to lonnie, playing well this game

Yeah, DJ isn't playing bad either. In fact, he's playing controlled and displaying some vision. Hope he keeps it up.

[r0drig0lac]

http://6stream . xyz/video/2/

[Dejounte]

LMA playing sloppy. He's killing us

[Dejounte]

GREAT pass by DJ to LMA

[poopbox]

It's like a light goes off...or maybe on...in Gay and Derozan head 3 minutes into the game and they become trash defensively...

[RC_Drunkford]

Having DeRozan and Gay play the forward positions together is a disaster defensively. They have no clue how to play help D

[SPURSCHAMP]

Yeah, DJ isn't playing bad either. In fact, he's playing controlled and displaying some vision. Hope he keeps it up.
ya meant to say DJ has been playing good, first midrange looked smooth and isn't trying to force things. obviously lonnie looks like a different player today

[Dejounte]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MURRAY WE NEED AND PAID FOR

[SPURSCHAMP]

rockets announcers just called DMDR "luka samanic" on that flush lmao

[timtonymanu]

It’s always gonna be consistency with Lonnie. I really hope he plays more like this

[EasyMoney]

How did the Rockets commentator mistake demar derozan for Luka samanic

[RC_Drunkford]

Harden is pretty stupid to want out. This Rockets team with Wall, Cousins and a new coach would be better than last years

[Dejounte]

DeMar being the point when Patty is in... YES YES YES

[spurs10]

Thanks. I'm on DirectTv and it must be blacked out.

[RC_Drunkford]

DeMar being the point when Patty is in... YES YES YES

He's been the point when Dejounte was in too. Less ball handling duties for Patty and DJ is a good thing for sure

[FkLA]

What channel??

[Dejounte]

The rook is in!

[Dejounte]

He's been the point when Dejounte was in too. Less ball handling duties for Patty and DJ is a good thing for sure

Yeah it was shared, DJ had some awesome assists early on.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Man the rockets announcers suck

[Robz4000]

:lol thought the game started at 7:30

[FkLA]

What channel??

:madrun

[Robz4000]

[GB20]

I really like the way Murray is running the offense.

[Robz4000]

Vassell's shot is so damn smooth.

[r0drig0lac]

no Forbes + no Marco = fun

[poopbox]

Did we just run a play that had Poeltl handling the ball at the top of the key :wow

[Dejounte]

Vassell's shot is so damn smooth.

Next Reggie Miller

[Dejounte]

Fuck off Patty

[RC_Drunkford]

FIBA Patty :lmao

[Robz4000]

DPR and Mills need to stop chucking.

[SPURSCHAMP]

vassell gonna be guarding harden, watching that matchup closely

[Dejounte]

DPR and Mills need to stop chucking.

All of a sudden ball movement stopped. Started with Patty. Fuck him

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Patty is already pissing me off freezing out vassel. Thinking he’s iverson

[poopbox]

DPR and Mills need to stop chucking.


Two guys in a contract year

[onechance87]

lyes sucks so far

[BillMc]

Who screwed up on that FB?

[Dejounte]

Holy fuck Vassell.

[EasyMoney]

Patty and trey have been bad so far

[Robz4000]

:lmao Harden is so fat

[YoungbuckMurray]

Patty playing hero ball FFS

[r0drig0lac]

Devin is a player

[Rito3d30]

Vassell is such a smart defender

[8sy21vd]

Mills and Lyles scrubbing it up per par. Vassell looks like a starter already..gets sent to Austin lol

[Ditty]

Patty trying to lower his trade value so he can stay with the coffee crew.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Can’t wait to get white and keldon back to hopefully take some mins away from mills. I like mills scoring but not just playing hero ball

[BillMc]

Devin just looks so comfortable. Best looking rookie since Nephew

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m loving Vassell, he has a quiet confidence. Kids going to be good.

[LakerHater]

https://images2.imgbox.com/73/12/8wdOJ7fx_o.gif

[onechance87]

patty is bad rn.....wtf is he doing

[BackHome]

Patty Lyles just doing what Pop told him so don’t hate the messenger.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Man Lyles looks bad

[EasyMoney]

Trey just shoot the fucking ball and stop driving to the basket

[onechance87]

patty and lyles playing bad rn....hope they dont see playing time in second half

[Rito3d30]

I fucking hate Lyles
just stay at the corner and do nothing please damn it

[SPURt]

Lyles looks like an out of shape old white ymca Dad with a Jordan complex

[GB20]

Lyles is having a rough night.

[YoungbuckMurray]

I fucking hate Lyles
just stay at the corner and do nothing please damn it

he has talent but man is he ever unsure of himself.

[Dejounte]

Harden is pretty stupid to want out. This Rockets team with Wall, Cousins and a new coach would be better than last years

Nah, this team is clearly not a contender. Cousins looks like a role player now. Wall is good, but not enough. This team isn't scary at all.

[Robz4000]

Vassell is a god damn pit bull on defense.

[Mugen]

DV Da God!

[EasyMoney]

Great D by vassell

[YoungbuckMurray]

Vassell is a dawg!!

[RC_Drunkford]

Nah, this team is clearly not a contender. Cousins looks like a role player now. Wall is good, but not enough. This team isn't scary at all.

I never said they a contender. I said they would be better than last year and last years Rockets weren't a contender unless you asked someone working for ESPN

[r0drig0lac]

Murray, White, Keldon, Vassell are 96 minutes of hell for the opposing perimeter, it's good to see this for the first time in a long time

[SPURt]

I love Vassell’s D... so so much

[Dejounte]

I never said they a contender. I said they would be better than last year and last years Rockets weren't a contender unless you asked someone working for ESPN

I know. I'm just saying there's no reason he should stay unless he just doesn't want to win a championship. The Rockets don't have much flexibility to improve much better to put the right pieces around him.

[YoungbuckMurray]

FFS Lyles

[poopbox]

Trey Lyles playing like Luka played last game

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl trying to make a post move :lmao

[Ditty]

I rather see Luka look disinterested for 20 minutes a game than see Lyles.

[TheGoatishere]

Lyles is terrible

[Dejounte]

Lyles is the new Forbes

[8sy21vd]

Lyles with maybe the worst quarter by a player in spurs history lol comically bad

[EasyMoney]

There you go DJ just launch it

[BackHome]

I like Poodle looking for his offense-

[XDT76]

Lyles seems to regress over the off-season. Murray seems better tonight by not forcing things

[Dejounte]

I like Poodle looking for his offense-

It was a good post move. He just missed it.

[timtonymanu]

Lyles has always been a charity case. He’s not a rotation player.

Patty is dogshit without Manu holding his hand.

[Mr. Body]

lyes sucks so far

He's always sucked.

[BackHome]

I like DEROZZ with the Fro - Fear The Fro :fro

[Dejounte]

LMA is such a fatass. He's useless in this game

[onechance87]

murray is no pg

[r0drig0lac]

2 years without playing Wall = faster than 99% of players in basketball history

[Mr. Body]

Lyles has always been a charity case. He’s not a rotation player.

Patty is dogshit without Manu holding his hand.

Trey Lyles isn't even not a rotation player, he's not an NBA player. Stepping into one of his most vital offseasons, he was training with some of the biggest chucklefucks in the NBA. I'm not even sure he's a second tier Euro League player.

[RC_Drunkford]

this team finally showing its identity. A bunch of low IQ idiots coached by a senile grandpa

[XDT76]

murray is no pg

I don't think anyone will dispute that.

[Dejounte]

murray is no pg

He's been stellar most of the game. One turnover doesn't change that.

[BackHome]

Murray can not create his own shot terrible handles

[onechance87]

we need a pg.....offense looks sloppy

[poopbox]

LMA is the worst passer of all time

[YoungbuckMurray]

LMA has no court vision

[Atl Spur]

murray is no pg

Not at all!

[SPURt]

DeRozan with the pretty pass

[r0drig0lac]

amazing pass by demar

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan looking and playing like Hot Sauce from the And1 mixtapes

[BackHome]

Fear the Fro :fro sweet pass

[onechance87]

why is lyes coming back so early

[YoungbuckMurray]

Don’t think Lyles has done 1 good thing

[XDT76]

Lyles trying his best to force Pop play Luka

[Mr. Body]

why is lyes coming back so early

And... he's gone.

[SPURt]

I hope channels some Ben Wallace this year:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c8/f3/25/c8f3250163b40e090cfef5a5e481eaa4.jpg

[SPURt]

Oh good, Lyles is back in!

[Texas_Ranger]

Lyles should be cut, like right now.

[BackHome]

Walker should have taken it to the rim

[Rito3d30]

wow
Vassell in once Harden back

[YoungbuckMurray]

Take care of the damn ball

[Mugen]

Good to see Boogie/Wall looking healthy at least tbh.

[poopbox]

Boogie and Wall look good but after missing so much time I expect them to flame out before the season is over

[onechance87]

to many bad shots and turnovers

[weebo]

Walker is trash. Getting stripped by a washed up center. smh

[BackHome]

Yeah that was real bad

[poopbox]

Patty defense is :lmao

[Mr. Body]

How is Tyler Zeller any worse than Trey Lyles?

[YoungbuckMurray]

Jesus patty turns it over almost every time he touches it

[onechance87]

i want to see tre jones play over patty in the second half

[BillMc]

We really need a real point guard. White or even Tre

[XDT76]

Murray and Walker playing much better than the first game, hope they keep it up

[BillMc]

Even Devin's mistakes are good as he hustles back after he makes 'em. Rather than getting down.

[Mugen]

I like the aggressiveness from Lonnie/DJM tbh. I just wish both had the ability to finish in traffic with contact.

Murray and Walker playing much better than the first game, hope they keep it up

Hugh are we watching the same game?

Their first quarter was good, the second much less so.

How is Tyler Zeller any worse than Trey Lyles?

He ain't. He just plays a different position

[Dejounte]

Hugh are we watching the same game?

They both have been playing much better than the first game. A few minutes of bad play doesn't change that. Did you watch the first quarter? Let's see if they can keep it up for the second half THEN we can judge if they are playing better.

Murray has been playing like a solid point but people are judging off of one turnover. It's ridiculous.

[Atl Spur]

Please trade Walker & Murray......

[Mr. Body]

Please trade Walker & Murray......

Lol, GFY.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Lonnie just needs to focus on 3s and D like the first quarter. His stroke is pretty when he doesn’t hesitate

[Atl Spur]

Murray’s decision making is horrible������ no feel for the game....

[Dejounte]

Murray’s decision making is horrible������ no feel for the game....

Bro are you even watching the game

[GB20]

Murray is doing much better in this game than last one. Lonnie has a smooth jump shot.

[Atl Spur]

Lol, GFY.

Just can’t help yourself huh?? Enjoy the game little buddy.....

[onechance87]

[EasyMoney]

[Mr. Body]

Just can’t help yourself huh?? Enjoy the game little buddy.....

Lol, GFY.

[onechance87]

lol harden cousins defence

[Joseph Kony]

Vassell is gonna be special man. He has a lot of awareness and on court instincts that you just cant teach, something that Murray/Walker will never have sadly

[Joseph Kony]

that was the slowest dunk with the entire D in the half court i've ever seen in a game before :lol not even trying

[RC_Drunkford]

that was the slowest dunk with the entire D in the half court i've ever seen in a game before :lol not even trying

nah that was just Rudy's new found quickness so he can play SF :lol

[Dejounte]

Another great pass by DJ but LMA wasn't paying attention

[Chomag]

I really wished that we had gotten rid of all our vets, the young players are the only players worth a damn on our roster. The vets are holding this team back!

[onechance87]

man we cant get this offence going

[Mugen]

:lol @ Bill Land calling Harden fat AF

[poopbox]

How does LMA NOT know Dejounte is looking to pass him the ball

[Dejounte]

Solid defense on Harden by Vassell

[Atl Spur]

Another great pass by DJ but LMA wasn't paying attention

Not so fast.......

[Chomag]

Trey is useless....

[poopbox]

This some 3 stooges shit now :lmao

[Dejounte]

Not so fast.......

Found Lonnie on the corner but he missed it

[YoungbuckMurray]

I know it’s preseason but this is way too sloppy

[weebo]

Murray :lol

[onechance87]

lol at lonnie

[Dejounte]

These refs are awful tonight

[Atl Spur]

This stuff too easy.......

[YoungbuckMurray]

Murray has like 5 turnovers this quarter

[EasyMoney]

Dejounte is better off not dribbling around defenders for the rest of the night

[SAGirl]

Vassell 🙌🏻

[Texas_Ranger]

Murray is great at being shit.

[Dejounte]

Terrible turnover by Murray there

[Atl Spur]

Dejounte, don’t die on the Murray hill......you r better than that!

[Texas_Ranger]

Oh and walker is also great at being shit.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Murray can’t be a PG I’m sorry but his handles are horrible. 3 and D that’s it. White is the PG

[XDT76]

Hugh are we watching the same game?

Compare to the first pre-season game they are much better in the 1st half, especially the the 1st Q, having said that Murray is trying his best now to be worse.

[poopbox]

Dejounte has passed the ball just fine just LMA and Lyles not paying attention
