Official Game Blog: Spurs vs. Rockets

[ducks]

can ely outrebound duncan in his first spur game

[CubanMustGo]

Ely gets his first assist as a Spur. :)

[Nero]

Why doesn't Butler play? He has more potential than Bynum. We need him ready for the playoffs.

[ducks]

5:50 SA - F. Oberto made a 17-foot jumper along the right baseline. Assist: M. Ely

[aaronstampler]

ha, a quick rebound and assist for ely. he's the truth!

The scorer is fucking clueless dude. Beno passed Fab that ball.

[Solid D]

What's that siren that stopped the game?

[SpursDynasty]

Weakass Rocket announcers blaming the loss on their sked. Lame.

People always make excuses for losing to the World Champion San Antonio Spurs.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Bonner is coming in soon, and we dont even really need him. That shows how much the Spurs have dominated. I know Ely is exciting to see, but I think we'll be seeing the last of him for awhile.

[aaronstampler]

We've got a lineup of 2 PGs and 3 PFs.

[aaronstampler]

Ely with his first turnover as a Spur

[Tippecanoe]

and ely's first foul as a spur

[Solid D]

Ely doesn't have all the rotations figured out yet. :lmao

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol

[carina_gino20]

Spurs bitchslapping Rockets on the road on the second half of a B2B with Tony Parker wearing a suit. What kind of odds could you have gotten for that ?

not to mention manu's 1/8 shooting. well, beno and fin did decide to show up. :king

go Spurs! :flag:

[Pugglekicker_21]

Everyone is counting ELy's firsts. It so sweet... On a another note, you know its a slaughter when Oberto is getting blocks and rebounds.

[Solid D]

Oberto with the block on Snyder. :wow

[Cry Havoc]

Ely!

Ely!

Ely!

[aaronstampler]

gonna be tough to crack a 100 with these five

[Horry For 3!]

Nice shot by Ely

[aaronstampler]

Ely 1-1

[PerforatedNeckline]

will the rockets crack 10 this quarter?

[Spurologist]

Ely For Deuce

[Nero]

Our 3rd unit is really struggling out there. We desperately need to give Butler a shot.

[Admidave50]

nice jumper by Ely!

[spurastic]

Ely with first spurs' points

[aaronstampler]

Coming in I had a good feeling that Ely would make as many field goals as Manu and Tony combined.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Whats its say? i cant translate it.

[Horry For 3!]

Ely needs 2 more rebs to tie Timmy

[carina_gino20]

what's the lowest point total by a spurs opponent this season?

[Borosai]

Some fresh blood...nice.

[aaronstampler]

Okay, no more fadeaway hook shots please

[Horry For 3!]

Oberto throwing it away

[Admidave50]

what an awful pass by Oberto

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs win 97-74

[Cry Havoc]

Woohoo!!! vBookie Cash, here I come!

[Admidave50]

damn, rockets managed to reduce the lead to 23 pts, wish we finished with 30 pts!

[PerforatedNeckline]

orlando up 3 with under 10 minutes to go in the game

[aaronstampler]

nearly identical to yesterday

[Spurs Brazil]

That's a BIG win

[Admidave50]

by the way, mavs struggling against orlando losing 81-75 in the fourth

[Pugglekicker_21]

97-74 to the Spurs. The streak is at 8. Whose the next victim? 23 point differential beats the tar outta the vBookie spread. Ahh the Clips on the West Coast. Cant wait for that.

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs are 6-0 since the All-Star break, giving Houston their worst loss of the season. We didn't have Tony Parker and Ginobili was 1-for-8.

[aaronstampler]

I think this score more than just the result itself is gonna raise some eyebrows across the league. We're not going to be below anyone's radar no matter how many games we're below Dallas in the standings.

[PerforatedNeckline]

i don't know how much this has to do with it, but i think sometimes it helps to get used to winnning. streaks almost perpetuate themselves.

[Darkwaters]

by the way, mavs struggling against orlando losing 81-75 in the fourth

Don't worry, it's Orlando. They'll throw the game away and Dallas will win by 20.

[Pugglekicker_21]

That should be enough to quiet the doubters.

[aaronstampler]

We're already killed the Clips twice this year and if Tony can play I like his chances against old man Cassell.

[boutons_]

Rockets got 4 RB is 2nd half?? they had 21 at first half. finished with 25? WTF?

[Budkin]

Crushing a good team on its home court in the second game of a back to back? I think we can officially say that THE SPURS ARE BACK!!! :downspin:

[CubanMustGo]

by the way, mavs struggling against orlando losing 81-75 in the fourth

Won't end that way, wait and see. :(

That said, Dirk is only 1-2 on FTs. What happened to all of the "defender in the general vicinity" calls he always gets on his jumpers ??

83-77 ORL w/8:29 left.

[Cry Havoc]

Is that Houston's lowest offensive output of the year, as well? Anyone know?

[Pugglekicker_21]

Don't worry, it's Orlando. They'll throw the game away and Dallas will win by 20.




unless Dirk lets Howard dunk on him with .02 left!

[Solid D]

Oberto throwing it away


what an awful pass by Oberto

The Spurs Bigs always cut to the basket off that play. That was as much on Ely for just standing there. It's a learning process I guess but really, it's a normal basketball cut he's supposed to make.

[Budkin]

Don't worry, it's Orlando. They'll throw the game away and Dallas will win by 20.

Yep. no way the Mavs are going to lose to the Magic.

[schadenfreude52]

Yep. no way the Mavs are going to lose to the Magic.

Yeah, Mavs are coming back.

[Cry Havoc]

Dang! The Celts held them to 72 a few nights ago. =\

[Tippecanoe]

Rockets got 4 RB is 2nd half?? they had 21 at first half. finished with 25? WTF?

i dont know where the hell you get your stats, but rockets finished with 34 rebounds

[Darkwaters]

Yep. no way the Mavs are going to lose to the Magic.

Agreed. Now, if this were last November then I'd give the props to the Magic without a second thought. But Dallas is streaking and so is Orlando (just in the OTHER direction).

[aaronstampler]

Rockets got 4 RB is 2nd half?? they had 21 at first half. finished with 25? WTF?

the box score says they have 34, 8 offensive, 26 defensive

[timvp]

That was an old school win by the Spurs. Duncan dominates in the block. Gets next to nothing from the guards. And the Spurs win easily.

Spurs Basketball.

[ggoose25]

Woohoo!!! vBookie Cash, here I come!
no shit!!! its about time i win

[efrem1]

A blowout on a back-to-back and the Spurs clinching a winning road record. I am getting more confident every day. :)

[SpursDynasty]

Now the Houston talk will stop.....back to the Big Three in the West, Dallas, SA, and Utah.

[PerforatedNeckline]

all tied up in dallas

[SpursDynasty]

Once Dallas gets loss #10, people will stop worshipping them.

[Cry Havoc]

Now the Houston talk will stop.....back to the Big Three in the West, Dallas, SA, and Utah.

Utah? :rolleyes

[CubanMustGo]

Once Dallas loss #10, people will stop worshipping them.

If they ever do. Seems like they keep pulling the close ones out (like tonight).

[SpursDynasty]

Utah? :rolleyes

Anyone who can get a 101-79 ass whooping on Dallas, is considered in the big three in the West.

[exstatic]

It's fucking ON. No Parker, Ginobili sucked, road game, and they win a laugher.

[efrem1]

Don't trry to chase Dallas anymore. Get the number 2 spot and I will be happy.

[SpursDynasty]

Well, I'm glad Spurs continued to take care of business. All these teams on the 8 game win streak, were very beatable teams, Detroit being the hardest. Up next, the LA Non-Clippers, Portland Fail Blazers, and Suckramento Queens.

[Cry Havoc]

Anyone who can get a 101-79 ass whooping on Dallas, is considered in the big three in the West.

And yet they're a 4 seed as it stands....

[Solid D]

After watching Ely tonight, the early vote is in. Jackie =/> Melvin

[timvp]

I'm awaiting the threads calling Ely a bust and asking him to be waived and sent back to wherever he came from.

Full scouting reports in five minutes -- the Spurs fan way.©

You guys seem to be forgetting that a certain giant Chinaman did not play tonight. When he's back, Houston will be a tough opponent.

[kalikot_boy_kr]

ely is a monster! nice ely!

[Cry Havoc]

Just a note:

The Spurs now have the lowest PPG allowance in the NBA. It stands at an even 90.0.

[SpursDynasty]

Didn't the Spurs beat Houston when they had Yao and McGrady at the same time?

Houston can't beat the Spurs in a 7 game series.

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs D is now back.

[exstatic]

They can have back their All Star center if we can have back our All Star PG, or did you forget that?

[T Park]

and our all star SG.

Ginobili wont shoot like that, and Parker not playing, and you win by almost 30?

Yeah Id say the team is starting to turn the corner.


Awaiting the "this win means nothing"

Like we heard after Detroit and others.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Awaiting the "this win means nothing"


This win means nothing. Wait until the next game vs dallas.
