Game Blog: Spurs v Rockets - 12/29/2011

[Fireball]

Duncan trying the Blake Griffin with a Plus/Minus of -28 at the half ... Splitter should start the 2nd half and play 20 minutes

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Playing a divisional opponent that always plays you tough on the road on a b2b isn't a trap game tbh...

ehhh isn't that the penultimate definition of a trap game

[DPG21920]

Well on the flip side your team is losing BIG to a team that "aren't any good"...so answer me this Cletus or Jimbo..or whatever your hick name is. How can you "take comfort in that"?

Ya, everyone loses to non-playoff teams. When the Spurs go onto their next game, they will just chalk it up to losing to a bottom feeder that tried pretty hard.

It's only December

[Fireball]

minus Bonner

yeah but the Splitter Bonner combo kinda worked ... Bonner has to play some minutes when we have only four bigs

[DMC]

IMO, tired has nothing to do with it... RJ, Bonner took wide open catch and shoot 3s... they just can't hit the side of a barn... Anderson also doesn't look tired, just sloppy.

You know the first thing to go is your jumpshot when your legs are tired.

It's going to be like that all year, fresh teams vs the opponents' 3rd string.

[ElNono]

Not gonna win many shooting 30%

[DMC]

It's only December

Even then, game 3, so in effect, it's November.

No a trap game by definition is a game most think you should win pretty handily that if you take it lightly you can get upset.

Old team playing on the road during a b2b is not even close to that definition.

I still don't get the point you're trying to make. You should keep posting the same over and over until I understand.

well wipe the menstrual blood out of your eyes (dang you must be a heavy bleeder) and maybe you'll figure it out.

I just don't see them tired... I don't see them gasping for air (Manu does that all the time when he's worn out). Matty is running like a headless chicken no problem... I just think they're missing shots...

I'm not sure you understand how periods work...

I thought we were doing ok until that 4 possession fest when they force fed Bonner.

[DPG21920]

Only thing worse than the Rockets team themselves is their fans basketball knowledge and attempts to troll

[Muser]

Tmac&Luther is like lakaluva but really, really bad.


And lakaluva is pretty ing bad.

[GB20]

if tim plays like this then he should retired this season.

[Dex]

Same as last year, our roll players dont show up on the road, we are getting slapped in the paint on both ends. Offense no movement at all, year after year same problems.

Think it would have been worth making a deal for Dalembert RC who is only getting 7 mil this year.

Which is only 4 million more than the Spurs can give....

[Lars]

Haven't seen us play zone defense in a long long time. Seems to be working.

[Muser]

Need more Leonard, much more.

[Robz4000]

I felt we were gonna lose this before the season started. First b2b against a Houston team that always plays us hard who are on 3 days of rest, and it's their home opener to boot. I'm just pissed our starters are making re ed mistakes.

[ElNono]

IMO, it's also tough when Tim has a bad game... only 7 ft out there when Tiago is on the bench

[Nathan89]

It would be nice if Pop started Splitter and Kawhi in the 2nd half. Put Splitter on Scola and Kawhi on Martin. I'm tired of seeing Martin wide open. Tell Kawhi to stay on his ass for better or for worse.

[Cessation]

lol bonner 1-5, 0 rebounds

We didn't have 7 mil this year

You cannot see tired as well as you can see winded. I think they are tired, not so much winded.

They got almost nothing for training camp, almost no preseason, and this is game 3, and 2nd of a b2b.

They are tired. Not getting back on defense, no one running the floor.
