Game Thread: Spurs vs Rockets -- Wed. (1/27) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

Kawhi getting the ball in the final seconds was a good sign to me though.

[100%duncan]

Pop complimented him so he had to do this to keep him hungry? Idk

I think this is one of those sitout doghouse games that he does with him but he played both games against houston so far this season so Im surprised.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

20 point lead at halftime.

Agree. Learning process. I don't care if he s up a couple of times.

[spursistan]

One of the few times Pop lets Kawhi finish the quarter. Like maybe 3 times all year. Chill guys.

he needs to improve his dribble penetration to become an offensive force capable of dropping 30 at will when needed..he is not there yet unfortunately..

He doesnt have the explosive first step like the superstars of this league so he'll need time to really improve

Maybe be pop is trying to increase Danny's confidence by solidifying his role on the team..... Danny feeling heat can't be good for his already ed up ego.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

hold them under 100 unlike last time

[100%duncan]

20 point lead at halftime.

WE SHOULD BE UP BY 40

Big factor too. Danny's best game of the season so far so maybe that. This team is better with a good danny than a good simmons so whatever

[MultiTroll]

What do you guys put Jalen Roses IQ at?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WE SHOULD BE UP BY 40

On pace for that even though we'll only win by 20-25 or so considering the 3rd stringers will play out most of the 4th quarter

[100%duncan]

Man knows the dictionary doe

[steeledl]

Out or curiosity... Why is this so important for you?

Id rather have a good both but if that's not possible then I agree.

i'm an analytics major and obsessed with stats tbh and have been for a long time... even in NBA Live 2005 I always tried to keep the other team under 100 in a 10 minute-per-quarter game on regular sliders tbh

The guy needs to learn. If you don't give him the opportunity when we're up 20...

[steeledl]

Off topic: Houston has a better recruiting class than Texas up to this point..... Wtf

[BillMc]

Anyone think Dallas is a trap game for the Dubs? Maybe they have a letdown after big win over us.

Meh, metrics are fun and all. It's cool to have a high defensive rating and high margin of victory but in the grand scheme of things how we play against the warriors is the only metric that matters this season.

Nope. They aint losing at home to the Mavs imho.

[SAGirl]

Wow this is truly concerning. Get well soon Timmy.

Yep. And we need Duncan.

[BatManu20]

[TheGreatYacht]

Yep. me. Also gotta take some at school with friends We need to blowout the cavs.

What's worse is that people that didn't watch the game think we threw our best at Curry like Mark Jones in the first half for example, he said we threw Green on him to start the game and eventually we tried Kawhi and neither worked
