TMac's going nuts now.
tie game 27-27
Come on Robert, shoot it when you have the shot!!!!!!
Bogged down after that. Lane is closed with Motombo in there. Barrett's too tough to beat off the dribble, Tony. Rockets controlling the boards. No, dominating them.
TMac's going nuts now.
tie game 27-27
Game tied.
Spurs need a spark. Shots not falling.
Somebody put Barry back in and give him some touches.
Beno in now. Spurs finally get a rebound, Jon Barry wasn't quite set on Manu drive and he's red hot. Manu shoots FTs.
Let's see how well the Spurs close this half out, after McGrady and others have shot themselves back into a tie game 27-27.
McGrady tries to throw one down over Horry and gets a FT out of the deal.
Houston ball on a sketchy out of bounds call.
Refs screwing the Spurs already.![]()
Spurs offense must be foul, I am listening on radio, what the heck is going on? Good defense or bad offense or both.
26 to 18 in rebounds and of course no Rose!
MadDoc
will they score 70 ?
Both, Houston put the clamps down on the lane and the Spurs can't hit anything from the outside.Good defense or bad offense or both.
How bad can this get? Offensive rebound by Rockets!
9/30 no field goals over 9 minutes.
Score going into half please on last possession. Shot clock expires boy is this bad. Glad just listening.
MadDoc
Barry blew the last play, bigtime. Tim running the point to close it out? Spare me, Pop.
TMac short arms the buzzer beater -- otherwise we'd be completely sunk.
Nice 10 point quarter - way to let em back in game.
Why do Spurs play down to this team so!
MadDoc
Pop, take that experiment back to the lab. That was horrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiible.
Should see some Malik in the 2nd half -- if he can hit his jumpers and not take it into the trees every time he could be very useful.
will pop tell spurs to improve their d or o at halftime?
Why the were Mass and Horry in at the same time?
Spurs suck. Shooting 30%, no attempt to push the ball. 5 FB pts.
What an abortion of a game.
HOU's excuse is that SA is playing good defense. What's SA's excuse?
Why can't the Spurs impose their game, rather than ALWAYS playing down to crap level of the opponent?
Spurs good FT of last few games tanks tonight, 67%.
Watch this game get a little better in 2nd half, but still close and then McGrady take over in the last 2 minutes.
You know what this game reminds me of? Last year in the first game in Houston, the Spurs led at halftime 30-25. Spurs ended up shooting only 32% but winning, 71-67.
This 30-28 lead by Houston at the half, isn't so strange now is it?
That we play down to our opposition.
Not much of an excuse, but there you go.
if po p tellls spurs to work on their d at half I am going to go nuts
HOU is playing good D too, but the Spurs are just running right into it.HOU's excuse is that SA is playing good defense. What's SA's excuse?
Horrible decision making.
Spurs rebounding effort was pathetic. Two offensive boards?!
rebounding was bad but you have to score points
tp is lucky to have 3 assist
Well, it's not like it is a surprise the Rockets have too much length for the Spurs to get into the lane with regularity. They need to move the ball and reverse it more, plus run as much as possible. Van Gundy gave it right back to Pop in that 2nd quarter.
