Scola finally hit two jumpers when Bonner ignored him on back to back trips. Pop called a timeout.
FINALYY the Spurs on TV. Geez, didn't think I was going to see these guys till Tuesday.
No Manu, no Oberto and no Bowen and we were hitting in the mid 60s% for most of the first half.
Ian playing with Elson on some stretches. I guess Ian is a PF? He's gotten so much bigger on his upper body since we drafted him and he's STILL the skinniest guy out there.
Scola = Weak
What channel are they on?Quote:

Eh, it's our scrub lineup against most of their starters. No worries.
THIRD QUARTER
Brent Barry was up to 13 points and played point guard late in the third quarter as the Spurs finished the period with a 75-71 lead.
The Spurs scored the first six points of the second half on jumpers by Francisco Elson, Michael Finley and Matt Bonner.
There has been a lot of talk about the Spurs' point guard position. A lot of the banter started when Tony Parker sat out the first preseason games and Manu Ginobili started in that spot. The impressive play of rookie Darius Washington added to it. Barry got into the point guard mix Friday night, running the offense for the last 3:50 of the third quarter.
A worthless obervation: the Rockets' Chuck Hayes has at least two hitches in his free-throw stroke. He still made both when he went to the line late in the quarter.
Lol, Houston announcer, he was serious, not kidding when he said:
"Bonzi at the buzzer! Bonzi is now 3 for 3 behind the arc and... I'll have to look it up but I that may be a career record for Bonzi."
Pre-season career record? WTF????
I'm in Dallas with NBA league pass. It's on the Fox Sports Southwest Houston edition.Quote:

hehe Elson posting Scola!
Ian's gotten trapped under the basket and not strong enough to overpower guys twice, missed a little crazy hook on Yao in the 1st half. He did hit a silky smooth jumper his first coupe of minutes when I thought he was Elson (until I saw Elson there too and he made Ian look skinny).
Damn, who is that blonde they keep showing dribbling the ball on the sidelines? Playing with Coyote now. Nice legs.
Anyone looking at the box score needs to realize that garbage time started for the Spurs shortly after the start of the third quarter. I really haven't seen any non-rotation guys playing for Houston yet.
Williams bailing us out with a jumper, nice. Then he travels. :(
Udoka with a nice pull up.
Is the hot blondie an wnba player? nice ballhandling
Williams steal to DW for a basket!
Darius is filling up the stat sheet :tu
Williams with the long arms getting the steal and feeding Washington. Nice D!
Scola with the turnover, heheh.
I'm calling it now. Oberto is not it, Mr. Bonner is THE Scola stopper. No kidding. Scola can't post him up, Bonner muscles him around. He's a crazy looking lumberjack.
I have no idea. Hot legs though!Quote:

Rockets PG rotation: 36 minutes, 6 points, 6 assists, 3 turnovers.
Washington: 15 minutes, 11 points, 5 assists, 1 turnover.
Nice D by Udoka! He really looks like TP on TV, he must grows some hair.. lol
