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

[timtonymanu]

Well, that was as ugly as the Spurs could get. Bad defense. Low energy. Tired legs. ty offense. Reminds me of the 2011 playoffs.

I hope this night was just a fluke night and not our first two games.

[DMC]

You are right ... Lakers played like , but they looked good enough to win the 3rd game of ab B2B2B

Yeah, against a depleted Jazz team, one of the worst teams in the league.

[Fireball]

I was thinking the same thing. Let's see how saturday goes I guess.

There is no way Spurs lose to Utah ... they are just bad

[analyzed]

Houston could use RJ, while the Spurs could use Tabeat

[DMC]

Yeah no offense to Tim, but it was very disappointing to see how lethargic he looked when he barely played yesterday. This definitely is the ugliest we could see out of the Spurs. Hopefully they build on this and try to avoid it (at least at the right time).

Pop put those guys back in up 20 in the 4th yesterday. It probably didn't do much, but they are just really out of shape. Not only less time to get in shape, but more time to get out of it during the lockout.

but they did not look tired ... thats what I meant

[easy7]

If this is a back to back, I hate to see a back to back to back.

Honest question because I've never heard of anything like this: Are you allowed to forfeit games?

[dylankerouac]

Eager for Timvps analysis on this.

[jjktkk]

The only silver lining was Blair tonight, who actually has looked good so far early this season.

Houston could use RJ, while the Spurs could use Tabeat

That is the worst possible idea ever. I would seriously take Bonner over Thabeet.

[Spurologist]

I like Greens activity, really shows off that fearlessness that Sean is always talking about. Constantly crashing the offensive board too.

can never doubt his tenacity

Do you mean forfeit before the game starts? Or during the game?

I've never heard a rule about this, but I would assume it's not allowed unless we get another World Peace/Pistons brawl.

Careful there...

[DaDakota]

We have far too many players on our team, we need a star, while it may work for a while, no way you can play 13 players in an NBA game and keep everyone happy.

Still a surprising result tonight....but I think you guys were tired, and we had 3 days rest.

No need to worry about a star when facing the Spurs. Just give the ball to any Rocket and he'll create a shot

NBA is about money ... so I doubt this is allowed

[LegendaryFan44]

Never start TD on a second or now 3rd game of a btb..play Splitter..+ 9 with him on the court tonite.

[Dex]

Does every ing team on this planet have more bigman depth than we do or what

The answer to this question is...yes.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Wow, I couldn't catch this one on TV, but this is a very disappointing loss considering those first two big victory's.

[Lars]

GG SA, see you next time.

Ya, before the game. I wonder if on the b2b2b's if they could just forfeit the middle game and grab the rest.

[DaDakota]

The worst thing was this game was not on TV here in Austin how can any Spurs game not be broadcast in Austin......

I had to watch it on the PC.....not the same thing dang it.

I still think we match up really well with you guys, but have issues with other teams....and we have far far far too many rotational players, a chemistry disaster waiting to happen unless we trade some of our veterans for picks.

Scola and KMart should be traded, IMO...

I'm in Austin, the game was on FSSW as always...

[Spurtacus]

Not reading too much into this game. Getting blown out sucks but at least it was on the road and the second game of the back to back. This is still basically the preseason.
