GT: Rockets vs Spurs

[KungFuJoe]

GREAT high scoring game so far. Spurs were up by 12 at the end of the 1st but Rockets got it back to just down 2.

Lin with 9 points already. Getting to the rim with ease. Harden had a 3 and a 4 point play so far.

[IGotACoolStory]

I can't believe I still have free league pass.

This is a fun game.

[KungFuJoe]

That was a "semi" make up call for the charge Lin just took.

[KungFuJoe]

OMG...you get the ball ripped under your own basket THEN you get dunked on.

Totally deserved that one.

[IGotACoolStory]

Duncan posterizing so many people this year. He doesn't even get up high anymore.

[pnyozzzoo]

Cole.A. is a F. scrub, sign at asik and smith fouls.....

[noob cake]

No defense being played on both side. Old ass Spurs, let's run.

[pnyozzzoo]

I d rather play D.Mo than Cole

[KungFuJoe]

LOL Duncan with the retard glare after he dunked on Aldrich. Who was he even looking at? The floor?!?!? :lol Just run back Timmy...just run back.

[noob cake]

Cole.A. is a F. scrub, sign at asik and smith fouls.....

Refs took our bigs out of the game. Nothing you can do.

6 fouls in like 15 minutes on our starting and backup C.

[Kyon]

What is defense? Still fun to watch. No matter who wins the game, the coach will be pissed at this matador defense.

[KungFuJoe]

Goddamn Harden has been SO money lately

[KungFuJoe]

HARDEN!!!!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[noob cake]

HARGOAT

Hacked twice. Still finishes.

[TylerOO]

Harden is amazing!!!!

[pnyozzzoo]

FREE D.MO!!!!:rant

[DaPerceive]

Harden is the best SG in the league, end of discussion.

[Kyon]

Aldrich!

[KungFuJoe]

Damn Lin goes for way too many pump fakes.

[IGotACoolStory]

Geez what a half.

Harden-Ginobili matchup is nice.

[noob cake]

Geez what a half.

Harden-Ginobili matchup is nice.

God damn Manu's euro step layup looked just like a HARGOAT drive.

[pnyozzzoo]

Spurs and Rockets are just too volatile, I am so nervous, both team can blow you out so fast, if one goes on a cold period its over, and I guess with spurs experience its prob. Rockets.

[DaPerceive]

God damn Manu's euro step layup looked just like a HARGOAT drive.
HARGOAT? Dude, we already know he is the GOAT or the future GOAT.

[Shepseskaf]

Harden-Ginobili matchup is nice.
Trying to out-flop each other.

[pnyozzzoo]

HArden, Lin, PArsons are studs this game, Asik and Mook sucking... 1 more show up Rockets prob have the lead...

Or the refs can call some fouls on Duncan instead of assigning phantom fouls to Tiago Splitter

[jl1718]

Been shitty officiating on both sides since the tip. Typical NBA game I guess.

[Artillery]

Or the refs can call some fouls on Duncan instead of assigning phantom fouls to Tiago Splitter

:oldlol: complaining about phantom fouls when you have Harden playing for your team

[noob cake]

Harden with 5 fouls. Duncan being protected all game.

GG Spurs GG Stern

[TylerOO]

Wow what a terrible call. Foul on a jump ball? Get the **** outta here.

[jl1718]

Wow what a terrible call. Foul on a jump ball? Get the **** outta here.
About as bad as the one on Jackson when Harden went at him like a linebacker.

[pnyozzzoo]

That call may just take out Rocket's last gas..... good job ref

[DMV2]

92-98, end of 3rd. :oldlol:

Very similar to the last game btw these two teams.

[noob cake]

Refs just ****ed this game. Harden gets a foul on a jump call on Tiago's flop.

Duncan should have 4 right now. Got protected one by Splitter, once by Jackson.

[BlitzForce]

Mills flop :coleman:

[noob cake]

GG

Lin almost fouled out.

[pnyozzzoo]

Spurs flopping, expect fine inc.

[noob cake]

This game is so blatantly rigged.

Refs assigning fouls to Spurs bench. Rockets starters are all getting fouled out.

[noob cake]

Spurs flopping, expect fine inc.

Patty Mills needs to be suspended. 3 flops

[jl1718]

Yeah Stern loves the Spurs. Harden will buy some ho's and move on.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Would anyone like some cheese with the whine that seems plentiful?

Lol at crying about the humpback foul. Dude was holding Tiago. GTTO cry babies.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Crying about flopping with Harden on the Rockets?

And you can breathe on harden without a foul called.

[BlitzForce]

Where's Greg Smith?

[IGotACoolStory]

Harden should be called for a lot more offensive fouls. He just launches his body into people. At the very least, more no calls.


The pace of his game is incredible.

[noob cake]

Where's Greg Smith?

Get fouled out by the refs in 11 minutes. Then McHale decided to bench him for the rest of the game.

[BlitzForce]

Rockets defense needs work

[pnyozzzoo]

Freaking wasted, 15 fouls on Lin Harden Asik, and Timmy got protected from jackson splitter green, ......

[shoops]

Thanks McHale, looks like you forgot that they have a game tomorrow. Harden 41 mins, Lin 36, Parsons almost 44. :facepalm

[Artillery]

Freaking wasted, 15 fouls on Lin Harden Asik, and Timmy got protected from jackson splitter green, ......

Rockets - 26 FTAs
Spurs - 24 FTAs

[TylerOO]

Rockets - 26 FTAs
Spurs - 24 FTAs

Watch the game, not the box score.

[Artillery]

Watch the game, not the box score.

I watched the game. Rockets got outplayed by the Spurs. SA played efficient basketball while the Rockets turned the ball over too much and relied on the three ball far too often in the fourth when it wasn't falling for them

[TMT]

Big three = 84 points
Big three + Green = 101 points :eek:

Didn't catch the game but the box score looks unreal.

[noob cake]

Watch the game, not the box score.

Most retardedly called game I've seen this year.

6 fouls on Asik/Greg Smith in the first quarter. Get both of our rim protectors out of the game by the end of first.

Rack up another 6 fouls on Lin/Harden by the second quarter so they can't play defense. By end of third, Harden gets 5 fouls and no longer contests shots. Lin gets his 4th foul.

Harden driving the whole game. Got his free throws but refs felt the need to equalize, resulting in the Rockets and Spurs shooting the damn same amount when Harden alone drove more than the entire Spurs team combined.

Tim Duncan gets two of his hacks called on his team; should have had 4 fouls by the middle of third quarter.

Of course it wasn't helped by the fact that Duncan played a game rivaling his career best and Manu couldn't miss single three pointer.

[spiegel]

Duncan and Parker are treated like endangerd species by the refs. You cant even breath on them without being called a foul. The Spurs can thank the refs for this gift handed to them on a silver platter by the damn refs.

[spiegel]

Rockets - 26 FTAs
Spurs - 24 FTAs
Thats just a stat. If you watched the game the refs were portecting Duncan and Parker left and right. Some of the fouls they got called for them were mind blowingly soft.The Rockets after the bad start petty much wwas the team on the rontfoot for the last 3 quarters.

[Kiddlovesnets]

The Rockets have been really impressive, they crush good defensive teams like its nothing at all.
:applause:

[pnyozzzoo]

:applause:
Why do you come here and troll, I thought were on good terms, since you want our assistance coach to be your head coach.

[spiegel]

I doubt anyone could have gone with the Spurs tonight considering Duncan, Parker and Gino all played like it was 2004 again. Then you have a guy like Green who goes 5-7 from the 3pt line and as a team they shot 50% from the land of plenty and almost 60% from the field.Their offensive game was the best it has been all season and as Elliot said, this was the Spurs most emphatic offensive night interms of ball movement and off the ball movement.

For the Rockets to to toe to toe with such a team with the youngest roster in the entier league shows how good this team can be in the future.

[Artillery]

Spurs fouls: 21
Rockets fouls: 22

lol at the conspiracy theories when the FT disparity was negligible


The Rockets after the bad start petty much wwas the team on the rontfoot for the last 3 quarters.

:oldlol: Rockets scored a lot of their points in the fourth in garbage time(after the Spurs went up by almost 20). Only a Houston fan would spin this game in the Rockets favor when the Spurs shot more efficiently from the field and had less turnovers.


Duncan and Parker are treated like endangerd species by the refs. You cant even breath on them without being called a foul.

You say this when Harden had 13 FTAs tonight.


The Spurs can thank the refs for this gift handed to them on a silver platter by the damn refs.

Spurs are 3-0 against the Rockets this season, but yeah, keep pretending Houston is as good as SA.

God you sound like such a whining bitch.

Seriously.

Btw, how did that game rival Duncan's best? Of this season? In points I gues. But do had 5 rebounds. This drain alone he's put up nearly 30 and 20 boards. So it doesn't even rival his best this seaso. Let alone best ever.

Rockets haven't beaten the Spurs all season (including pre) but in your delusional mind the Spurs needed the refs help to beat the Rockets. I guess the Spurs leading for 99% of game some how made you think the Rockets had it won. But oh yes, the Rockets big men not being in foul trouble would have stopped the Spurs from making threes. Genius logic there.

Riddle me this dumb dumb. The refs are out to help the Spurs? So then why does Harden get his fifth foul in the 3rd and then preceded to not foul out when he plays in the fourth? Would have tremendously helped the Spurs to have him out the game don't you think? Ah, but alas he payed the fourth without receiving one foul to take him out.

Either you're stupid and need the ref excuse to rationalize the loss or the refs just suck at helping the Spurs and forgot to finish the job.

[spiegel]

I dont kow why i bother but anyway, if you watched the game, in the first and 2nd quarter, Asik and Greg Smith were getting slaughterd by the refs that even the biggest Spurs homer known to makind in Sean Elliot said that they were getting some cheap calls.Asik's 3rd personal was so farsical that even Duncan couldnt believe how soft it was. I suggest you go and watch THE REPLAY.

Talking about Harden that 5th foul on the jump ball was even more farsical then the garbage fouls called earlier. When you'r best player has 5 fouls in the 4th, he will have to play passive ad thats what happen, Harden went into his shell. You know you'r getting jibbed when the homer announcers are feeling sorry for you.

When did i say we were as good as the Spurs?. Infact i said if they replicate that ball movement and shooting, noone on this planet can beat them.I said for a young team like the Rockets to go toe to toe with a stacked team like that for 3 quarters despite getting bad calls is encouraging and inspite of a loss is another step in the right direction.

[mentallooser]

Duncan scored 30 at his age, as a big man, with the wear and tear on his body. Just gotta respect the technique. His skills and fundamentals allow him to do it on any given night.

[spiegel]

Duncan is the best bg man right now in basketball. His defence is still elite but his offence and the ability stepout and drain the jumpers is what makes him so tough to guard. You know he will kill you in the post, but when he has his jumpers falling, the guy is virtually impossible to stop.

The most complete big guy in basketball right now. He achors that teams defence will superlative class and ease.Whats scary is you know come the playoffs he still has a gear or two left in him to raise. The Spurs with him, Gino, Parker and now the red hot shooting of Danny Green are such a good team that when they move the ball like last night, they are impossibe to beat.

[pnyozzzoo]

Spurs flopping, expect fine inc.

Speaking of the truth, as of today Tony Parker Receives Flopping Warning:
