Game 45: Spurs @ Rockets, Jan 28, 7 PM CT

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs now suck and have no plan on defense.. Basically saying our defense sucks too much to stop you.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Effing homers - the Houston annoucners. Can't bear this

[Juggity]

I'm okay with hack-a-howard. Sometimes he'll make them. Most of the time, he won't.

[LakerHater]

[ElNono]

No way. It would have to be a crazy bad for that to happen. Despite being pretty awful after the hammy injuries, that would be a massive decision.

Yeah, it's not how bad, IMO. It's that feeling you can't stay healthy. ed with his head last season. Can't think it's not doing the same now.

[RD2191]

Man up, fellas. It hurts but you gotta down with the ship.

[loveforthegame]

Way to block out Howard.

[Johnny RIngo]

Front office with the ty goods

Spurs have never made back-to-back Finals. Mostly the front office's fault too. Championship teams should always aspire to get better but Spurs motto has always been to stand pat. Don't know why they were trying to play it safe when our window is so small. Why the are we wasting roster spots on garbage like Ayres, Bonner, Joseph, and DeColo?

[Beaverfuzz]

WTF BAYNES?

[crc21209]

Too many guys out to win. Plain and simple. It would be like OKC missing Westbrook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, and Lamb for example.

[blkroadrunners]

Baynes.....

[Budkin]

this team...

[Hoops Czar]

This is brutal. I said I was alarmed with the injury to the same hammy, not only because of his play and what it did last year (and subsequently this year), but because now it appears to be a real issue with that area of his body. Re-injury is a massive concern especially when you see what it does to his play even though the first hammy issue this year wasn't supposed to be that bad.

Hamstring pulls are chronic. Once you have one, they linger with you for your career. Manu's had so any hamstring pulls over the last few years, his hammy probably feels like jelly. The only thing that will cure this is retirement.

[Chomag]

wtf is pop doing....

[RD2191]

your socks!!!

[BatManu20]

Baynes and Ayers have the touch of of a caveman around the basket

[LakerHater]

Tryin to hack Dwight & refs call charge on Lin!!

[Budkin]

Too many guys out to win. Plain and simple. It would be like OKC missing Westbrook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, and Lamb for example.

"Only pussies & assholes..."

[Chris16]

Even w/o Westbrook Oklahoma City is still the best team in the West.

Once he comes back, it's over for the rest of the Western Conference.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why the do they keep hacking him?..

Is Pop really afraid of Houston's offense w/o Harden to this extent?..

[313]

Damn, who's getting hurt tonight?

Rockets by 10. Manu breaks his arm or something.

Oh dear god.....

Amused? WTF?? Ugh there goes Timmy for 4 weeks.

and following a long line of history of players getting hurt when amused starts the game thread, didn't he start the one kawhi broke his finger in? yikes op is cursed or just straight up the grim reaper on the web

Welp there goes Manu for the rest of the season. Thanks amused.

Lol @ people thinking we have a chance at winning this game. Injuries+amused GT = LOSS+injury

damn, the OP... oh well, Manu had a good career...

[Budkin]

This does nothing unless we score.

[Libri]

Houston announcers

[RD2191]

Pop is s shocked, losing his damn mind on air.

[Chomag]
