Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets - Christmas Day @ 7:00 PM CST (3:00 AM Riga time)

Houston controlled the pace of this game, therefore the Spurs defense failed tonight.

If only Tony could do the same against Jason Terry

[tholdren]

Lmao spurs offense. This is why spurs need to get rid of green, and questions kl offensive prowess.

First greens defense is every bit as overrated as tiago. When he can't make a shot he's worse than Simmons or anderson.

Kl jacking up mid range trash in the clutch is 100 percent vag.

Okay, Uriel, I'm calling you out about how badly the Spurs played tonight.

What.The. were they thinking there at the end. Two possession game, and they didn't get a shot up until deep into the clock? Timmy throwing that pass away when they got the stop? I could go on and on but that was just a horribly played game.

[ElNono]

We were due for a game like this, tbh...

Hopefully we'll bounce back tomorrow at home

[DarrinS]

Porker was awesome

[ErnestLynch]

what a joke....

Leonard getting nothing but bail out shots.

Pop treating LMA as if he's Bonner when the team needs a basket

[ElNono]

We must be watching different games, tbh.

Okay

[KaiRMD1]

I really hate these fn commercials, what the were they thinking?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

PLEASE ISIS DESTROY THE WORLD PLEASE

[spurs10]

Didn't think it was possible to play worse than the Cavs, but I was wrong. Really bad loss against a .500 team.

[tbdog]

Not saying it was a deciding factor, but how many out of bound calls incorrectly went for the Rockets this game?

[RD2191]

Will the Spurs beat a good team this season?

It was just another typical performance on the road by the Spurs against a good team. That's normal for the Spurs this season to play this bad against a good team on the road. They're really lacking mental toughness and a go-to scorer in crunch time.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Johnny RIngo]

Uh? He's been top 4 Spur this season... easily

I wouldn't trust the opinion of someone that sucks Kobe's on the regular. Steeledl claimed Kirby was a top 5 all-time great

[UNT Eagles 2016]

this scrub team full of LOSERS

[sasaint]

Parker and LMA today. And these are two of our top 3 scorers? Smh

Tony gave his abysmal worst effort of the season, and LMA was not far behind. Pitiful. Pop needs to send Tony to Austin!

[DarrinS]

Spurs played like , but Houston played some gritty D. I see a revenge game in the near future.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Blow it up, trade Scrub Leonard... everyone is a ing joto.

If it's not on Christmas or in the playoffs, it doesn't qualify as a revenge game. Not in my book.

At least 3

Yeah, if anyone is a pussy mid range shooter it's LMA.

It was a 4-point loss on the road against a team many expected to be the SW division champs to begin the year. We didn't play our best game, but most teams would kill to be in our position, given how the Rockets played that game as if it were Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
