kawhi changed that shot tbh. Immediate defensive impact

[timtonymanu]

How about we step off the ledge and give Jax a month to work himself back into a groove before we start stringing him up?

Patty is looking good, mate.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard finds ways to contribute.

[Boomersgold]

According to NBA's tv companion, Ginobili, Patty Mills and Splitter are all -25+ in +/-. LOL

[ElNono]

Jax is awesome and Manu is the mother ing truth...

[Spurs Brazil]

Good timeout

Bring TD back and finish this

[CGD]

I like this Rocket team. They'd benefit from a post player they can dump it into to help in the half court sets. Someone like Al Jefferson from the Jazz. Bright future though.

[Manu-20]

Diaw with the goods and Diaw with the bads that boris diaw for you.

Patty is looking good, mate.

Hot and cold though, which is a pity. After he dominated in the Olympics I thought he'd come in and show himself to be the best backup PG in the NBA, but he hasn't done that... yet.

[Bill_Brasky]

you tools are too in love with jackson to see any sense

No, you're an idiot because you want to trade a proven playoff performer based on a 5 game regular season sample size where he's still recovering from a broken finger.

Truth!

Russo21 PWNed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax and Mills defense started this run

[GuerillaBlack]

Getting Harden out of the game was an unexpected boost. It allows Mills to play and our defense is looking much better now that he's gone...If the Spurs win this game I think that's going to be why.

It sure was. That was a great flop by Splitter. Was the best flop in the game until Patty Mills flopped later and Lin got the foul. Hopefully there are fines.

[mystargtr34]

Tiago just got tossed aside by Parsons on that rebound. He either needs to stop flopping or put on 10-15 pounds of muscle in the off season. He has a good frame for some more weight so i dont get why he chooses to remain rail thin.

He can sacrifice a bit of speed and agility since hes already pretty nimble for a 7 footer.

Damn. Jack is out.

[Russo21]

And Jax leaves the game with as many fouls as points. Good stuff hey timtonymanu

[DesertSpur50]

Lol Harden just tried to flop while in back of Mills!

[capek]

Wow, Mills is always pesky, but he's never been that effective. Playing great tonight though! Give the coaches a little to think about versus De Colo.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Rockets are missing everything now.

[loveforthegame]

Sometimes I wish Pop would go with Mills earlier in the game but I like how he uses him as a game changer later in the game.

So long as they also assess Harden fines for some of the beauties he's had on offense...

[Captivus]

who else saw those big white balloons??

[EVAY]

I think the Houston players expected to get the same calls tonight that they got in their house in the last game, and this time we got the HCA.
