A nice little schedule L.

I hate Patty Mills.

You and me both, buddy. 

[Kermit 3163]

Fuck Rudy Gay too.

[Kermit 3163]

Is there a mercy rule? 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18963]

The only thing that can make this game salvageable is if Dwight Howard blows out his acl. 

[Kermit 3163]

The Spurs goal must be to let every 76’er score in double figures.

[ztejas 44243]

We were never winning this.

But losing by 40 isn't optimal. 

[hornfan785 571]

I'm glad I had to miss this game...

[BigOrange1 6611]

why are the spurs only a 1.5 point favorite against the pistons tonight?

[Hate 20250]

Because the bookies watched the last game and know Patty is still on the team?

[Radical Larry 28823]

Give Vassell all the minutes.

Yeah, I don't know. We're pretty good at beating up on terrible teams. It's good teams that we struggle to keep up with.

On the road.  No LMA.  No DeRozan.  3rd game in 4 nights.  We jumped on them early and bad teams typically fold, but could understand the skepticism.

 

[hornfan785 571]

Jakob our entire offense so far. That's not good.

[hornfan785 571]

Oh no, Patty.

[hornfan785 571]

Holy shit, we actually have a lead...

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Wow. I'm used to our eSpurs blowing leads like that, not the other way around.

Noice.

[hornfan785 571]

Hell of a comeback by the Spurs tonight. Jakob played a great game, too.

[Kermit 3163]

What the fuck was that? Why can’t they play like that all the time? Just kidding. Nice win Spurs. 

[ztejas 44243]

Holy fuck we won? 

[Kermit 3163]

Refs trying real hard to give this game to the Mistake by the Lake. Let’s see if they’re successful.

[ztejas 44243]

KJ with a nice 20/20 that included 10 offensive boards.

[Welch 640]

Holy hell, the Rockets have lost 19 in a row?

Worth remembering that the year our superstar whined his way off the team, we still finished 47-35 and made the playoffs.

Yea, different strategies fo sho.  Houston's blowing it up, trading everyone they can and looking to gather assets whether it be draft picks, cap space, or younger, undervalued players.  It'll be interesting to see how each executes their different plans.  

[Kermit 3163]

Dude, Houston sports fans just can’t catch a break. I’d laugh uncontrollably if I wasn’t an Astros fan.

I get it, and as an Astros fan like Kermit I can definitely see how a total teardown can lead to an era of success, but put me down for the Spurs’ method 10 times out of 10 in the NBA.

Even being in a destination market and having tons of draft assets doesn’t necessarily result in titles (Boston and New York say hi), so I’ve come to the point where I’m thrilled the Spurs have opted for the “stay good and see what happens” model.

[ztejas 44243]

We are getting +11.5 against Milwaukee. 

That seems high.

Have you heard of a guy named Patty Mills?

Murray and Patty out tonight.  3rd game in 4 nights and on the road.  This could be a rough game unless someone comes up with their best game of the year.

Missed that Murray was out. 

[hornfan785 571]

Spurs looking pretty damn good in the first half. Hopefully they can keep it up the rest of the way.

I put money on it thinking Murray was playing so I'd appreciate it if they could at least cover.

[ztejas 44243]

Lonnie with 2 atrocious possessions in a row. It would really be nice if he could figure it out to play a bit more consistently. 

[hornfan785 571]

Looks like I jinxed em.

[ztejas 44243]

Just now, hornfan785 said:

Yeah. You owe me $40.

Jk. We'll be okay if Lonnie quits throwing possessions into the 2nd level. 

[ztejas 44243]

So Lonnie ended up going off. Good for him. Guess we just ran out of juice down the stretch - kind of a schedule loss but we've played worse games this year. 

That 11.5 got dicey - garbage points swung in our favor. 

[Coach pop a bitch 6036]

So LA gonna get bought out? How does this help the team cap wise?

[Kermit 3163]

Rudy Gay checks in, sucks ass, rinse, repeat.

[ztejas 44243]

Rudy draws the flagrant 1... Patty drains the free throw.

Hornets don't stand a chance down the stretch here!

One possession later and I want both of their dumb asses off the court.

[Kermit 3163]

Rudy Gay is fucking worthless. At least Patty, for all of his faults, provides something. Rudy provides nothing but turnovers, bad shots, zero passing, and negative defense.

[Radical Larry 28823]

So, I take it you're not going to Wednesday's game and getting a Rudy Gay bobblehead?

[ztejas 44243]

Are we trying to hand them the game? Jesus fuck.

[ztejas 44243]

Rozier is such a killer. It's insane that Boston basically traded him for Kemba.

A fucking weather alert interrupting the end of the game.

Just change the channel and change it back. It goes away instantly.

[Radical Larry 28823]

Well, shit, I did not know that.
