Yao ming is the biggest tofu in the NBA

[45 bank shot]

I have a bad feelin bout this one.
especially when we blow the lead against teams like rockets

[Indazone]

Brooks actually does suck on D. Parker on the other hand looks like he's going to school Brooks all day long. Very impressed with TP. This would be a different Spurs team with Manu. Then again, we are without Landry.

[Indazone]

Have no idea what happened to the Center we used to have when JVG was coach.

[Agloco]

Look no further than this:

Rockets started the game 5 of 14.

They are 13 of 19 since. That would be our old nemesis, FG% against, coming back to bite us.......

Allowing 54.5% from the field = fail

This is a huge game, against a divisional rival, with playoff ramifications. LMAO at people who thought the Spurs would just steam roll this Rockets team with no Manu.

[mazerrackham]

Did any of you people watching the game with rockets announcers notice how the announcer called Scola red hot like three times when he was shooting 50% the whole time? That was a bit strange, I guess half of the players in the game are "red hot" shooting about 50% right now...

[45 bank shot]

the thing about our team is that
1. we can never expand a first quarter lead.
2. we can never close the quarter strongly against a playoff team
3. our coach is stubbourn as that he won't play the most experienced perimeter defender when the other team is hurting us with jumpshots

[Indazone]

lol watching the game on Sopcast. chinese announcer is wearing a Spurs jersey.

[boutons_]

Spurs only 2 3Gs in first half, vs their usual 30 per game.

Ok Manu means a of a lot more to the Spurs than Landry does to the Rockets. Don't ever compare them again.

Jealous about Scola?

So how do the Spurs ever win? How are they currently the 2nd seed in the West and lead their division?

[quentin_compson]

That kind of defense won't do it against the Rockets; simple as that.

[mazerrackham]

Maybe a little bit, but I'd rather have Drew Gooden, and we would have never gotten him if we had Scola.

Whenever i see that AV it reminds me of Spurs Dynasty 21...kinda scary actually

[noob cake]

We are missing Knee-Mac also. Please stop complaining about the lack of Manu.

Except we also have a 20 million dollar hole in our lineup.

God help us.

K maybe the first "never" is kinda absolute, so I admit we blew out the nuggets and one or two other team this season since the first quarter.
But we have never been able to do close out games strongly since manu was out.
P.S. Ye i know they are currenyly 2nd seed, n if they don't wake up and play better, they won't be 2nd seed no more

[Budkin]

Goddamn watching this team brings me a lot of joy but also makes me want to rip my ing hair out.

[timaios]

Great idea from Pop to play Bonner & Gooden together during 7 min.

Spurs are leading the league in "tight games won" this year IIRC.
