Game Thread: Spurs vs Rockets -- Thur. (2/1) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

[Darius Bieber]

Do you not remember how bad they were against elite teams in the reg season that year?

But we at least took care of scrub teams like we needed to. Not the case this year with Indiana, Philadelphia sweeping us, Orlando blowing us out, etc....

[TheGreatYacht]

Fathead can't stay in front of anyone.

Plus minus.

Exactly

Advanced stat virgins pulling out their ass that makes this got look like some sort of elite defender lol....

Stop acting like Kawhi is Jesus. Him playing doesn't automatically make us the best team in the league. Even if he comes back this season to play, he'll be rusty and afraid to get re-injured. Spurs will still be trash.

Haha... I never said he's Jesus. But you're a fool if you don't think we have at the very least 6-7 more wins with him in there. The guy is a legit MVP type player. Of course we would be better against the leagues best if we have our best out there

Tim Duncan was on that team though

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Tony Parker needs to be put out of his misery. He literally brings nothing to the team.

[kuato]

No Manu = No teamplay, Anderson is useless.

[gambit1990]

tony should sit out the second half... of the season.

[mexicanjunior]

Yea yea, heard the same in 2014 (remember how much they struggled against elite teams?)

Also wtf... 3rd seed without Kawhi? Seriously? That's damned good. Of course they're going to struggle against the better teams

4 years and a Tim Duncan retirement ago?

[TimDunkem]

Can't even crack 40 in a half. This is bigger than Kawhi. You slurpers forget how often he had to carry the team last season because they couldn't get a bucket?

[bklynspursfan]

That was a better team.

It was... And this team has been injured all year and yet is #3 . And people are cliff diving cause we are struggling against elite teams with a team that has had a full roster exactly 2x all yr

Exactly what I've been spittin for quite sometime now..

[Leetonidas]

Seriously. Pop needs to shoot more of them smh. He's so passive out there

Who do you think calls the plays? Who do you think will yank players for taking quick 3s? Who do you think orchestrated this poor shooting roster?

[bklynspursfan]

4 years and a Tim Duncan retirement ago?

The point remains the same. Freaking out about what we do against elite teams is stupid. Especially without Kawhi and the slew of injuries we've had. That's even more stupid

forget the record, the current problem is the lack of human material, even with healthy Kawhi and Rudy, our back court is very small and Gasol is not playable against real teams

[LittleCriminal]

I almost think anderson is worse than murray.

need to get the word almost out ur head..

[BillMc]

[SuperCam]

this collection of losers can't even crack 40 in a half, same as every other game against an above .500 team



How's det culture paying off, Poop?

[TimDunkem]

Brah, there are 2 good teams in this conference and we're behind them. It's playing out just like many thought. Kawhi isn't going to change much when he is the only sure thing on offense.

[bklynspursfan]

I've been seeing Pop sitting a lot, he's not up calling plays like an offensive coordinator. They aren't generating enough good looks, and that's due to sloppy play and poor execution

[sananspursfan21]

This is ugly. It's not like Houston is doing anything spectacular

[bklynspursfan]

Brah, there are 2 good teams in this conference and we're behind them. It's playing out just like many thought. Kawhi isn't going to change much when he is the only sure thing on offense.

And with Kawhi, it's debatable if they're 3 , could be 2.

Him being the only sure thing on offense will open things up for everyone cause he demands so much attention.

[mexicanjunior]

The point remains the same. Freaking out about what we do against elite teams is stupid. Especially without Kawhi and the slew of injuries we've had. That's even more stupid

Kawhi isn't coming back anytime soon...this team is what they will trot out the rest of the season...can't wait to hoist the 3 seed banner...

[LittleCriminal]

Thank you

Yeah, the dike has a much bigger breach than Kawhi can plug. And PATFO's past history does not bode well for any personnel moves that will move the needle. The Lost Season. We can only hope it isn't the first of more...

Wonder why? Oh yeah no pg...
