I don't understand why Bonzi Wells wasn't heavily pursued after he singlehandedly almost beat the spurs in the first round.
dude would have his number retired in the ATT center if he was here.
Another Pop up.
Who was it who said that the first game vs. the Rockets was not proof that Houston was a threat?

Because Bonzi thought he was worth $10 million a year, and the most any legitimate suitor had to offer was the MLE. Bozo priced himself out. But, as long as he stays on his best behavior and continues to play solid, he'll get some offers this summer. But, he might again have to take less because there aren't many teams that will be able to afford $10 million a year, and right now, no team has his Bird rights, so he pretty much screwed himself when he didn't take Sacramento's offer this summer.
So waste 6 million on 2 ty centers, extend Beno. I get it.
Not me. I've seen so many Rockets games where they couldn't score for , but tonight they were shooting very well, and spooked the Spurs jumpshooters, and they shut down the paint. They probably had the motivation that we stole the W from them in Houston.
No McGrady, no Yao in 2nd half, Spurs still get embarrassed and blown out.
That was a huge fluke game. Houston was just on and ready to play. They were due for a win in SA.
If it wasn't for a fluke comeback, the Spurs would have gotten blown out by the Rockets twice this season.
Uh, don't look now, but Houston has completely kicked the Spurs asses in in 6.5 of 8 quarters this year.
Oh, and in none of them have they been at full strength.
Battier did a nice job on Manu, tonight, as well.
i asked once: how the Spurs stop this one giant.
It was successful the last time.
tonight the Spurs had no answer.
YAO: at last after nine yrs. Give me five!
Elson cannot defend Yao, period.
Oberto got in foul trouble too soon.
fist time i miss Rasho
Houston is the top contender imo, much better defensively than dallas and better all around team
i think in our division, right now its
houston
dallas
sa
we need to fix our D dammit
WTF, better defensively? Hows that when they've lost their last couple of games after blowing big leads in the fourth.
no one can defend yao. lets not put this on elson.
the problem was, outside of tony and manu, the spurs couldnt score
Manu had 23 points on 8-13 shooting. He looked like he was gonna go off on the Rockets for a possible comeback, but Pop had to send in the white flag.
And another thing.
Tim Duncan, yeah you're the MVP and we love you, but you're getting too lazy. You take it so easy because you expect Tony or Manu to handle the scoring load. Jeez can't you get your ass on track early score a bunch of points, build up a lead then take it easy the whole 4th quarter on the bench. I loved it how when Tim got in around ~10ish in the 4th and after the whistle blew for 10 seconds he pulled a Nazr and dunked the ball emhpatically. I laughed my ass off and thought we needed that during the 1st half.
The other Spurs missed some pretty easy shots and/or took stupid shots because of the defensive pressure.
but the Rockets just kept making them one after the other!!
They got into the paint at will!
Argentina
I do agree with Shoog as I was earlier.
Houston just have the weapon to win with the spurs.
Just wait till they will be in full strenght coming into the playoffs with healthy Wells and McGrady.
Thank you goodbye.
I like how people draw conclusions after a game that was just an off night.
Well too many off nights recently don't you think?
Spure are 9-2 in december, 20-7 overall.
Yesterday, it was the first real off night (first loss of the season by more than 10 points). When you have a 82 games season, you are due for some really bad games : no need to panic.
It is not a panic.
But what we (you) saw in last few games was pathetic IMO. Letting teams like Phila or Memphis get back into the game? Losing to Houston & Lakers - very important games.
Wow - Oberto is disapearing and that's not good. Tim's got woes on FT line and he can't figure how to make them. He should know that by now.
Maybe they are just wainting for the old balls to come back.
(Hopefully spur will have some balls when playoffs will come).
btw - I'm pissed cause I lost vbooks again (but it is not the reason I'm mad at the spurs)
no excuses when we had a 3 day break
we suck!
