Spurs vs. Rockets - Nov. 16 Game Blog

[timvp]

The Spurs need to shake off their loss yesterday to the Warriors and get this win versus the Rockets. Houston is minus TMac but Yao and Bonzi will be hard enough to handle.

It's still early in the season but the Spurs don't want to drop their second game of the season to the Rockets already. Avoid the back-to-back blues and pull out a nice bounce back win.

[NASHville]

This should be a great game.

[SAtown]

Time to rebound

[sa_kid20]

I'll be there!

[The Genius]

Got me some popcorn for this game.

[duncan228]

A bounce back win would be nice.

The Spurs, and Duncan, have said his knee is fine but I'll feel better when I see that.
If he could bring some energy it would help.

:lmao "Warriors."

[ducks]

spurs need to get tp some easy baskets to get him going
if he struggles the spurs do

:lol

I always wonder, if the Spurs can dispatch the Warriors so easily and the Warriors can beat Dallas, then the Spurs should have no problem with Dallas. It doesn't add up. :lol

That's because you're dumb and don't know much.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Let's get a win. If we don't I predict that "0-3 against Texans teams" will be in every last article written about this game.

[sa_butta]

Should be a little easier tonight with the Mcgrady-less Rockets.

Hope our backcourt is much better as well after taking a night off.

[E20]

That's because you're dumb and don't know much.
I'm being sarcastic, hence the :lol 's and implying that the NBA/life in general isn't linear.

oh....I forgot to put my ":lol :lol :lol" 's

[E20]

Nice save......................ugh NOT. Well what can you expect from a Mavs Fan?

[TampaDude]

Spurs are 5-0 at home so far this season...I expect a solid win for SA.

[dirk4mvp]

Good one.......well not really. What else should I expect from average spur fan #840523?

[E20]

Good one.......well not really. What else should I expect from average spur fan #840523?
LMAO @ at Mav fan copying the retort of a Spurs fan. Shows similarity to orginzation as AJ trying to pose the Mavs as the Spurs.

[dirk4mvp]

Hey, at least you picked up the copying of retort pat. I'm impressed.

[Indazone]

Might be easier but that means Yao and Bonzi gotta step it up. Look for Bonzi Wells to go for 20 rebounds and have extended minutes.

[E20]

Hey, at least you picked up the copying of retort pat. I'm impressed.
Don't wanna face reality? :lol

[boutons_]

Will Tony still be fog-bound?

Will 3 starters manage more the 15 points total?

[ducks]

winning 8 out 10 games would be nice
go spurs

[duncan228]

what's wrong with tmac? back probs again? ?

Elbow.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

what's wrong with tmac? back probs again? ?
elbow sprain

[nil.ball]

Everybody on the Rockets this year are shooting horrendously this year. Like 20-30% from the field this year. Includes Alston, Head, Battier, James, Wells. So..if you tripple team yao, this game will be a blow out in the second quarter. And you will be dumb not to, and the laughing stock of the league if you lose this game.

[ducks]

what's wrong with tmac? back probs again? ?

You're right... losing to a team like these Rockets is a disgrace

[abelle23]

tony's gonna make up for last night's performance...spurs win 103-90 :ihit

[anjlbitz]

what time is tip-off?

[duncan228]

Tip off is 8:00 EST.

[Indazone]

haha get ready to lose again!!

[Indazone]

Unless..Franchise gets some burn and then you can't sag in on Yao.

[SAtown]

Spurs by 15+ :downspin:

[Spurs Brazil]

Lol ESPN

TP = LBJ

[duncan228]

Does Yao ever not get a tip?

[SAtown]

Houston fans heard loud and clear :pctoss

[duncan228]

What's the sleeve on Duncan's elbow about?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!

[duncan228]

Finley hit one.

[ClingingMars]

Lol ESPN

TP = LBJ

espn wishes that LBJ got finals MVP last year

10 bucks says that was on purpose, biased ESPN assholes

[Spurs Brazil]

[ClingingMars]

-Mars

[ClingingMars]

parker is looking better

[Spurs Brazil]

Hubie Brown's voice bugs me.

[ClingingMars]

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 3333333333333333

[ClingingMars]

Hubie Brown's voice bugs me.

ESPN/ABC NBA games bug me in general.

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Dunk!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Duncan with 2 hands.

[ClingingMars]

i remember one game in NBA 2K8 i scored 37 pts with bowen only with the corner 3

then the lakers game happened...

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Tell the Rockets bench to SIT DOWN

[Jason_Terry]

Spurs are a joke if they can't win this game.

[ClingingMars]

scolaaaa

oh the irony

-Mars

[mystargtr34]

Scola time

[ClingingMars]

[mystargtr34]

[Spurs Brazil]

A lot of TOs for the Spurs again

[mystargtr34]

Scolaaa

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Spurs are a joke if they can't win this game.

and you are the greatest moron to ever grace this forum!!!! what a coincidence!!!!

[Jason_Terry]

lol who are you

I'm a fan of the team that can kick your team's ass.

[duncan228]

I really like this new adidas campaign.

[Warlord23]

Stupid turnovers and poor defense ... sigh. I know this will change after March, but sometimes it's frustrating seeing them not give a damn early in the season

[SAtown]

I'm a fan of the team that can kick your team's ass.

omg, it continues even in a Spurs - Rockets game blog.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson playing horrible D

[Jason_Terry]

:lol at Scola owning the Spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk from Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[boutons_]

spurs shooting 66% and not ahead! :)

[duncan228]

Duncan looks great.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

I'm a fan of the team that can kick your team's ass.

Dude, seriously.. take your shit somewhere else... why do you bother here???

[duncan228]

Parker still not looking so great.

[Cherry]

:lol at Scola owning the Spurs

You can't get all what you want ...

[mystargtr34]

Key Stat of the game so far... Bonzi 0 rebounds

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Duncan looks very "all-decline" tonight...

by the way, is Bowen really trying to stop Wells? He looks like Bonzi Howard pretty much - come on Bruce!!! you can't leave him shoot like that in front of your face!!!

[Jason_Terry]

Dude, seriously.. take your shit somewhere else... why do you bother here???

Yeah, well I live in the Houston area, so I can comment on Rocket games :rolleyes

[Warlord23]

Key Stat of the game so far... Bonzi 0 rebounds

I don't know if I particularly like that ... I have some vbookie on him getting 10+ :lol

[SpurOutofTownFan]

spurs shooting 66% and not ahead! :)

we can't get any stops yet.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker still not looking so great.

I think he can be more agressive but TD is on fire so just give him the ball

[mystargtr34]

Yeah, well I live in the Houston area, so I can comment on Rocket games :rolleyes

Arent you missing the parade ??? Or was that straight after the game?

[mystargtr34]

I don't know if I particularly like that ... I have some vbookie on him getting 10+ :lol

Good luck with that :lol No seriously i still think you made a good bet

[duncan228]

Manu is incredible. Just does everything.

[mystargtr34]

Damn Bonner

[easjer]

I'm a lot happier with the energy tonight, and with the way they are sticking with the ball and following through instead of shrugging it off. Much better.

[duncan228]

Duncan 14 point quarter.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

we just can't get any stops - our defense is pretty sucky

[mystargtr34]

Damn Timmy 14 and 5 in the first quarter... beautiful to watch

[easjer]

I really want them to get the defense together and get some cushion room. They need it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rockets hitting a lot from the outside

[mystargtr34]

Im not even worried about the score right now... im just happy to see the real Timmy back ... now lets get on that lock down D

[ducks]

I think he can be more agressive but TD is on fire so just give him the ball
duncan is 6-8
duncan usually does not take 8 shots
he is ticked lossing to rockets early
feed the big guy

[easjer]

:lol

The D isn't lockdown before February. I'd just settle for better than last game.

[Warlord23]

Penetration - kick out pass - turned over to the Rockets ... it's already happened 3 times today and both Tony and Manu are guilty of it

[Spurs Brazil]

Scola flop

[easjer]

7 turnovers.

Spurs really need to work on THAT.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!

[SAtown]

Ginobili 333333333

[duncan228]

Yeah, the TO's are sickening.

[easjer]

I missed some of the first talking to my mom. Has Barry seen time yet? How has Fin played?

[Warlord23]

Elson wtf? That was a wide open dunk if he caught the ball

[Cherry]

Scola flop

worst: Scola read Manu

[duncan228]

Damn, the Mavs trolls the last 24 hours, now the Scola trolls are stampeding here as we speak.

[Cherry]

worst: Scola read Manu


and Bonner :lol

[easjer]

OK, yeah, I can totally see why people hate Manu and consider everything flopping, because Scola is pissing me the fuck off.

[mystargtr34]

Penetration - kick out pass - turned over to the Rockets ... it's already happened 3 times today and both Tony and Manu are guilty of it

Phil?

[Warlord23]

Bonner is worse than useless so far

[hitmanyr2k]

Scola looks like he's been waiting for this game.

[DubMcDub]

OK, yeah, I can totally see why people hate Manu and consider everything flopping, because Scola is pissing me the fuck off.

Annoying, huh? At least Manu is a terrific player. Scola's a hack--I don't care what anyone says.

[mystargtr34]

Fuck Scola is doing something for the first time this season

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner sucks.

[Jason_Terry]

Damn, the Spurs are making Scola look like an all star.

[easjer]

Ok, Bonner misses.

Has anyone other than Manu or Bonner touched the ball in for scoring purposes? Fuck me. Get them out if they aren't going to score or play D. I hate to say it, because he's a nice guy, but Vaughn makes me wince. I'd rather see DWash.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Im about to vomit.. how many clear shots has manu given to bonner already?? he didn't make one yet... manu is fucking everywhere but they can't capitalize

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Does Vaughn have any worth? Like is he worth anything? Or is he worth-less?

Because every time he is on the floor its like we are playing 4 on 5. If we're having Vaughn in there for defense, put in Udoka or something and tell him not to shoot....jeeze louise

[Cherry]

OK, yeah, I can totally see why people hate Manu and consider everything flopping, because Scola is pissing me the fuck off.

me too :bang

[Manu20]

OK, yeah, I can totally see why people hate Manu and consider everything flopping, because Scola is pissing me the fuck off.

He is flopping like a fish out of water :pctoss

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ok, Bonner misses.

Elson COULD have scored from that smart pass from Manu. If he didn't take after his predecessor so much with the butter fingers.

[Manu20]

More Darius less Vaughn.

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson sucks so far

[hitmanyr2k]

Ok, Bonner misses.

Yeah, I can't help but wonder why Washington is suddenly back to third string PG since the kid has been playing good and provides offense. Popovich can be an idiot sometimes.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu knows how Kobe feels now, doing everything but his teammates don't help him.

[Que Gee]

I missed some of the first talking to my mom. Has Barry seen time yet? How has Fin played?

Hell no...No reason to play him. Pop is in love with Finley. He lets him tea bag him every night.

[whottt]

Damn, the Spurs are making Scola look like an all star.


Right...another 4 points and Scola's can tie Mengke Bateer's career high :tu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner is getting too many Minutes and our defense suffers. We need Horry back pronto!

[easjer]

Hell. Please change this lineup. It's not good.

Brent's coming in. Thank God.

[picnroll]

Bonner sucks

[Spurs Brazil]

Scola killing Bonner

[Jason_Terry]

SCOLA!!! :lol

[Cherry]

Scola again :bang

[hitmanyr2k]

Scola is basically giving the Spurs a big "fuck you" so far lol. Bonner is worthless in this game.

[Warlord23]

How long is going to take Pop to realize that Bonner is worthless. Robert Horry in a wheelchair would be better

[whottt]

Bonner is basically giving the Spurs a big "fuck you" so far lol. Bonner is worthless in this game.


Fixed

[SAtown]

Scola is going for 40 tonight

[Cherry]

Scola!

somebody shoot me

[td4mvp21]

Get Bonner the fuck out, he sucks

[duncan228]

Parker still struggling.

[picnroll]

Trade Bonner

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Scola is 6 6 fg's .... 12 pts??

[hitmanyr2k]

Fixed

Nah..he's still going even with Bonner out :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

He is flopping like a fish out of water :pctoss

lol I counted 3 Scola flops so far. Guy's damn good at it. Almost as good as Nash/Bell.

[easjer]

Bloody hell. 10 turnovers.

FUCK. ING. HELL.

[duncan228]

The TO's have got to stop.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

We Need To Play With More Fucking Balls!

[slayermin]

Great. Scola having his coming out party against us.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Scola is basically giving the Spurs a big "fuck you" so far lol. Bonner is worthless in this game.
Bonner is a 10th man at best.

[mystargtr34]

Damn Scola feeding the trolls now ...

[nkdlunch]

fuck the Scola trade!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I hope Pop doesn't get dissapointed too early and starts benching players to make an statement. They don't have McGrady so they need some guys on fire like Scola...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Im only seeing the highlights on Yahoo, but whats wrong with tony?

[Warlord23]

Pop's going to smallball now. Basically the Spurs' only good defensive big not named Duncan is on the bench in a suit. Bonner, Elson, Oberto all suck ass on defense.

[Cherry]

lol I counted 3 Scola flops so far. Guy's damn good at it. Almost as good as Nash/Bell.

he is smart too. give him some credit.

[WalterBenitez]

Bonner is worse than useless so far

A box of shit is better, at least tonite

[easjer]

Bloody hell. In a game where Yao JUST made his second shot, where Bonzi has been neutralized, where TMac isn't even playing, and where Tim Duncan had 14 in the first quarter - there is no fucking reason we shouldn't be up 6-10 points now.

They have got to get a handle on this shit. It's annoying to watch. I don't expect them to win every game and I get that it's November, but it's frustrating to watch.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Everybody settle down

if parker breaks his slump, we hit our open shots, we win this game, its that simple

bonner hasn't proven to be consistent so if he's sucking now, dont be so surprised....

[Budkin]

Spurs have turned into a slopfest.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Damn Scola feeding the trolls now ... His offense seems there, so I don't think it's indicative of a fluke game.
Scola can only get better I think, as he gets more comfortable with his team and the NBA... :pctoss :pctoss :madrun

....but I'm not bitter. :depressed

[thewatcher]

see??? that's a PF!

go luis go!

[mystargtr34]

If the Rockets win this one.... this forum is gonna turn into Houston fans vs Dallas fans arguing over how theyre gonna win the championship :lol

[objective]

Scola is showing why so many of us wanted him on the Spurs:

his jumper, his savvy post scoring, his moving without the ball, his Argentine flop defense helping to cover his other defensive deficiencies . . .

AND he doesn't have butterfingers leading him to throw away easy baskets off passes under the basket like Bonner or Elson or Nazr or Malik etc etc

[Johnny RIngo]

Trade Bonner

Yeah, Bonner fucking blows. Can't believe Spurs wasted money on this douche.

[SAtown]

His offense seems there, so I don't think it's indicative of a fluke game.


He's playing the way he's supposed to play.

[easjer]

why are both Barry and Fin on the floor? Why not Udoka?

And again, to's are killing us.

[WalterBenitez]

Beautiful block ...

[Tek_XX]

Spurs are falling apart.

[mystargtr34]

Bloody hell. In a game where Yao JUST made his second shot, where Bonzi has been neutralized, where TMac isn't even playing, and where Tim Duncan had 14 in the first quarter - there is no fucking reason we shouldn't be up 6-10 points now.

TURN







OVERS

[mystargtr34]

and SCOLLAAA

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs a TO machine now

[Que Gee]

Tim is on drugs. He sucks this year. Its like he is half asleep.

[Warlord23]

12 turnovers, piss-poor defense. Looks like Pop's gonna have to play the soft card earlier this year

[easjer]

I can't watch this shit. Ballhandling 101, guys.

[slayermin]

It's nice to see Finley hitting.

[SAtown]

Fin fo 333333333333

[SpurOutofTownFan]

as i've been saying we lack a lot of balls tonight - no defense whatsoever, they are shooting 55%, when did we leave a team shooting like that?

TO are killing us, they have butter in their hands, not sure what is going on with teh ballhandling tonight

They better come out strong in the 3rd quarter.

[objective]

Parker might be showing the effects of being overused D'Antoni style this season.

Nothing wrong with giving him some extra rest this game and let DW get some time.

[easjer]

Maybe they can get it together and make a nice little run here. That would be fantastic.

[SAtown]

Here we GO :downspin:

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from TP!!!

[slayermin]

That's the Spurs team I know.

[Tek_XX]

Ok Spurs are back.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Alll Duncan!

[vander]

bonner looks like he lost confidence in his jumper, he's got to stop letting doubt into his mind when he shoots

[easjer]

YES. That is SO much better guys. ENERGY is better and they are taking better care of the ball. Keep doing THAT.

[Tek_XX]

Finley stepping up!! amazing.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan's finishing strong at least in this game.

[sribb43]

Spurs will take control of this game and win by +10

SCOOOOOOOOLLLLLAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

Scola again :bang

Scola for MVP

[Spurs Brazil]

TP looks tired

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He's playing the way he's supposed to play.
:lol

Spursdynasty coined those phrases.

[mystargtr34]

SCOLA!!! :lol
Shouldnt you be supporting the Spurs... if the Rockets beat us tonight then that means theyve beaten us double the amount of time as Dallas.... so basically they own us twice as much as you guys own us.

Hopefully we can avoid Dallas and Houston in the playoffs :spin

[easjer]

That was nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the haters

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAtown]

wow. Tim over Yao on a fadeaway bank

[slayermin]

TD is on tonight.

[SAtown]

Fins fuckin on FIRE tonight

[Jason_Terry]

Shouldnt you be supporting the Spurs... if the Rockets beat us tonight then that means theyve beaten us double the amount of time as Dallas.... so basically they own us twice as much as you guys own us.

Rockets aren't gonna win this. They'll chock in the second half. I don't know why some of you are panicking.

[duncan228]

Nice time for Finley to come out of his slump.

[sribb43]

TD with the turnaround fadeaway off glass on Yao

Fin brought his game with him tonight, thanks FIN for waiting for tonight to go off

[hitmanyr2k]

Finley must have read the board last night :lol

[slayermin]

Nice finish.

[mVp]

Finley on fire

[Cherry]

hello Tony :spin

[sribb43]

Damn rockets running 3 PGs out there at the same time for most of that quarter

[easjer]

They ended the quarter well.

Still need to stop the turnovers.

[Manu20]

Finley has it stuck on automatic! 6-6 from the field.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great finish of the quarter

TD and Fin with great 1st half

We need to play a better D and stop turning it over in the 2nd half

[mystargtr34]

Yao struggling for some reason... Adelman is playing him to many minutes with T-Mac out.. too much of an offensive load to be playing that many minutes for him

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm gonna throw something out there now that i've seen finley knocking down all those shots. I don't think finley can play dallas, he has some sort of complex, last night he was 0-6 from everywhere and i remember he has played horrendous against the dallas before - like some sort of mind-blockage.. jsut throwing that out there

[Tek_XX]

If Finley was always this aggressive that would very helpful.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Shouldnt you be supporting the Spurs... if the Rockets beat us tonight then that means theyve beaten us double the amount of time as Dallas.... so basically they own us twice as much as you guys own us.

Hopefully we can avoid Dallas and Houston in the playoffs :spin

The only team i wouldn;t like to play in the playoffs is the Suns. Mavs and rockets are meatsauce. The whole thing about the matchups is pathetic - the more you say they match up well with the spurs the more you believe it to the pointt that you play the game conditioned by it. Let's stop that crap altogether. The most dangerous team of all of them is Phoenix.

[sribb43]

i dont know the stats but i thought Game 6 against the Mavs in '06 (the game when he dunked in Damp's face) he played well. Other than that i agree with his struggles against the mavs

[Warlord23]

Not only is Parker struggling on offense, he's getting beat up at the other end by James, Head and Alston. Those 3 have 9 assists, 5 steals amd just 2 turnovers

[mystargtr34]

Rockets aren't gonna win this. They'll chock in the second half. I don't know why some of you are panicking.

But were playing them without Tracy...

They beat us earlier this year... and last season with T-Mac...

Just saying... Dallas arent the only team Spurs are shitting themselves from this season...

Heres to avoiding Houston and Dallas in the playoffs so we have a chance at FIVE :spin

[anjlbitz]

LOL. I expect plenty of Scola threads after this game..

!!!!!

[pawe]

Spurs would be unstoppable if finley can only hit his jumpers at 40-50% accuracy every time. TP off night again or is it just yao's presence? i wish the spurs spoil scola's breakout performance tonight.

[Tek_XX]

Finley struggles against many teams

[Jason_Terry]

Finley has a soft spot for his old team. That's why he sucks against Dallas :toast

[SAtown]

i dont know the stats but i thought Game 6 against the Mavs in '06 (the game when he dunked in Damp's face) he played well. Other than that i agree with his struggles against the mavs

In that series, he struggled more in games 1 & 2, scoring only 7 points, but not starting. Once Pop started him, he score in the 14 - 16 ppg range, and got more playing time. I guess he does seem more timid when he plays Dallas, especially in Dallas.

[mystargtr34]

The only team i wouldn;t like to play in the playoffs is the Suns. Mavs and rockets are meatsauce.

:lol Re-read my post again.. between the lines

[SuperManu!!!]

If we had got scola...would SA be the floppiest team?

[nkdlunch]

Parker is not even trying. but that's ok.

its still november.

but we do need to win a few of these games.

[SAtown]

Finley has a soft spot for his old team. That's why he sucks against Dallas :toast

He probably got his mental weakness from Dallas. Other than that, I'm sure he's having a hell of a time here in SA.

[Roxsfan]

LOL. I expect plenty of Scola threads after this game..

!!!!!

he pumped faked bowen, tim duncan, and boner into the air simultaneously and made the shot.

then he had a beautiful spin-move in the lane for 2.

[Leetonidas]

he pumped faked bowen, tim duncan, and boner into the air simultaneously and made the shot.

then he had a beautiful spin-move in the lane for 2.
Thanks Captain Obvious.

[pawe]

Im not really worried about any team on the league right now or come playoff time coz pop trained them to play by the system. It's not about matchups, off nights or fatigue. It's about their confidence in the system they are in. Go Spurs go!!!

[SAtown]

The Fin situation is a thing of beauty.

Its like if you had a girlfriend, god forbid... and you were with her for nearly 10 years.... and no matter how hard you tried... she wouldnt give you any...

Then an opportunity arises, and you find a better one... and she spreads em for u on your second date... while you screw (figuratively) your ex for 50 mil.

You would still have a soft spot for your ex, so you would go easy on her...

Dont get much better than that

The only team i wouldn;t like to play in the playoffs is the Suns. Mavs and rockets are meatsauce. The whole thing about the matchups is pathetic - the more you say they match up well with the spurs the more you believe it to the pointt that you play the game conditioned by it. Let's stop that crap altogether. The most dangerous team of all of them is Phoenix.

What the hell? Spurs have regularly owned Phoenix.

I hope they took time in the locker room to put superglue on their hands.

No more stupid turnovers (or, really, any TOs) this half, guys.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeesh. Not the start I'd hoped for. Shake it off and do better.

[mystargtr34]

You think Oberto and Scola had a bet before the game... see who can flop their way to more calls.

[easjer]

I like the way they are playing now. Except for not getting that rebound.

[easjer]

Damn it. Go back to the good play.

Houston is just playing a zone -- daring the Spurs to shoot outside.

[td4mvp21]

Finally, Tony is scoring!!!
I think I finally realized how badly Parker needs to score for this team.

[mystargtr34]

OT: I picked up Rashas McCants off the waiver wire a couple days ago... and D-Wade just came back... and im ahead in 6 of the eight categories.. its over already
