one good thing duncan did put up over 20 today
But the Rockets had a foul to give - and by that time it was too late - and a moot point! Better to have the guy who's actually making some baskets.

Even if you took the 1st seed, I still won't put my money on Rocket going through the 1st roundNo big deal, Rockets just takin over 2nd Place in the standings like we're supposed to do.
tough luck, Ginobili made a decision (out of pride) and we're all paying the price.
yeah, the spurs just added to theirs
Really?
I haven't seen the previous ones.
He must have been absolutely terrible.
He has hard times running normally.
Manu's injury has really screwed up the team. I think no one thought it was this bad or that Manu would still be out. I think the rest of the team kept thinking Manu would be back and he'd save the day. Now it looks like he's just going to play a few final games.
His injury and Timmy's on-going knee problem might just doom our post season.
that's cause he is
Really?
Duncan completely s up the last defensive play and it's Ginobili's faulkt.
Well, Scola made the same decision and won this one.
As well as a bronze at the Olimpics.
So why does Yao move in slow motion? He's not old, and we know he's never extended the same kind of energy as TD has in the playoffs.that's cause he is
gotta give spurs credit for shutting Yao down big time by fronting him.
7'6" 325 pounds, next............
Pop is too much of a pussy to play duncan 1 on 1 with Yao b/c Yao will rip him a new vagina. Fronting little pussies.
that wasn't timmy's fault. thomas and parker doubled houston's pg so timmy had to guard both yao and scola. he did what he could and the spurs made a huge mistake but it wasn't timmy's mistake, it was thomas and parker.
At any rate, the offense was awfal, in eneral.
A bunch of guys standing and waiting for Parker or Duncan to come up with something.
No movement without the ball, no aggressivness on the offensive board.
They came back into the game thanks to the D.
And Bowen and Udoka played superb games.
This is non going to be sufficient to make it past the second round of the playoffs.
or maybe even the first.
Common sense says you give up the jumpshot and guard the rim.
Was Scola limping into the in' Olympics?
I understand why he chose to play but we're paying the pied piper for him.
Answer whenever you have been questioned.
Or else, just read.
Duncan was solid today, no complaints about him..he played great on D as well, and he was great on the boards..I don't know how many rebounds he had, but he had a lot of tips on rebounds too..
it would have been nice to have seen Bowen earlier though, but obviously Pop wouldn't consider it for some reason..
7'6" 325 yet gets pushed off the block every time by guys 50 lbs smaller and 8 inches short everytime.
hes a great passer but hes the pussy. you know it and i know it.
Duncan should have stayed with Scola.
Let yao have a 18 footer.
Obvious mistake.
right but they're both bad choices and timmy shouldn't have been in that position because they shouldn't have doubled. and yao is a good enough jump shooter that you don't want to leave him open
as others have said, Duncan wasn't at fault at all for the last Scola shot..obviously most of you don't understand basketball though..why would Duncan give up the J? basketball is a team game, he's supposed to trust the team D..Scola wasn't his man to guard in any way..if Duncan didn't come out to guard Yao, these same idiots would be complaining about it if he made the shot..
this was a horrible loss, so was the Boston loss..any time you have a game in control, or choke horrible, it's a horrible loss..but some of you seem to forget how the Spurs system works for some reason..
this system is completely centered around 3 guys..Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili..right now, we're missing one of these guys..not only does that rob us from Manu's scoring and playmaking, but it forces others like Roger Mason to play a role that they aren't accustomed to, and wouldn't have the same responsibilities if Manu was in the lineup..
Yeah, we rode that pussy hard to the victory.............
I think after this loss Duncan needs to sit a couple of weeks.
Bring Gooden in.
HCA is gone anyway.
And give some rest to Parker as well.
No wonder that the fresher players -Udoka and Bowen- were the only solid contributors today.
Rockets came from 7 back in the 4th. On the road.
When's the last time we did something similar against a good team, I can't recall?
Too few minutes for Gooden and Hill. Parker looked tired in the 4th.
It's great when you hold your opponent to a 13 point 3rd quarter. But when you have to expend all your energy to score 16, something's not working.
Too many problems and too few solutions at this point. Manu's comeback is not the cure-all.
