Spurs @ Rockets; 11/27/09, 7:30 CST

San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets, Nov 27, 2009 7:30 PM CST


I don't know if anyone is going to put up a preview before the game, so here's a mini-preview:

The Spurs are off to another slow start for the season, but are currently 7-6. Injuries to the big three probably have something to do with that. Manu might be out, but Parker should be in the game.

Like the Rockets, the Spurs are much better on offense than anyone expected, but they are also (like the Rockets) much, much worse than expected on defense. Expect Houston to try to push the tempo against the old guys.

Oddly enough (noted by Hardwood Paroxysm this morning), they're 0-4 on the road so far. Go figure.

Update from Tom: Recap coming tomorrow - got hung up tonight.

Decent start.

Ariza needs to stop taking shit shots

by VBG on Nov 27, 2009 7:45 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

you know, I'm kind of bad a judging this sort of thing,

but Ariza’s ballhandling skills seem to have gotten a lot better over the past month. He just seems to have more control of his dribble.

greg popovich has made the intriguing decision

of placing Timmy on Hayes and Bonner on Luis. Let’s watch what happens.

11 points from Ariza, 12 from Scola. Crazy.

I see the refs have gone temporarily blind

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 8:54 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

rockets haven't scored this quarter

haven’t been helped bye iether luck or the refs. fuck this.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:00 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

They are not running any clear offensive plays

They appear flustered and are rushing it. Hope Rick settles them down a bit..

by Kari on Nov 27, 2009 9:02 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

we dont have any great half court plays

Just post up. On duncan. Not gonna happen.

holy shit!

a whistle in Houston’s favor!

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:09 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

whats going on with us?

We’ve always been like. Sometimes we just can’t score for 5-6 minutes. Brooks needs to take over.

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:12 PM CST via mobile reply actions   0 recs

shit just doesn't fall

doesn’t help when the players who actually get to the rim don’t get any calls.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:14 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

we dont have stars

Thus, no star calls. You know that.

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:16 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

The other teams have started trapping Brooks sooner.. leading to fewer

chances for easy buckets. Let us see how Rockets counter..

yeah i said fowl

That’s what it was

They should just make another matrix. Especially after biker boyzzzzzzz.

yep

11 points, 8 rebounds.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:25 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah

Don’t know his line though

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:25 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

yeah man i saw that

Shaq screwed that team up like he did phoenix

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:24 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

it has a lot more to do

with Mo Williams and Delonte not being nearly as good this year. Shaq wasn’t a particularly good pickup for them (though with the way Ilgauskas has played it’s looking a lot better), but he hasn’t been awful or anything.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:26 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

so we could bring AI to Houston

And everything would be better? Not the best analogy but whatever.

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:30 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

bs

Scola is a beast. He doesn’t foul.

by RedRowdy420 on Nov 27, 2009 9:28 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

i dont know but

maybe now they realized that they need someone to take the lead.. theyre missing T-MAC now

by CONAIR on Nov 27, 2009 9:29 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

officiating is just stupid tonight

phantom calls, weird calls, etc. But the refs also seem to just be hesitant to call anything at times.

I thought the replacement refs were gone.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:45 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I wonder if Scola is hurt or something

seems like a good time for him to be on the court, after all.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 9:53 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

wow...

Bad D guys…. bad D

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 10:00 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

yeah, scola in warmups

I’ll assume he’s hurt.

by Only_A_Lad on Nov 27, 2009 10:01 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

adelman with a very audible "bullshit"

after the refs let hill leave the game.

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.

went to the game....

just horrible, actually were playing pretty decent, refs really did not call anything for us, and called everything against us! Can not believe some of the calls, GROSS! Just look at how many time they went to the line vs. how many times we went to the line!!!
