    I have respect for your evaluation....but Spurs bench is not what it was

    Splitter, Kawhi Leonard.... are overrated

    Say what you want, but it's the beginning of the season and they've already beat two teams better built than ours. SA is still a top 6 team (at this point of the season).

    I''m not saying this is any indication of what is in store for our season. I'm just saying, give the Rockets some credit. They flat out beat the Spurs today in almost any way possible.

    Cheer for our team.....my point is not to take away anything from SA
    A win against Minnesota, bottom dwellers....would .mean the same to me right now.

    The interior defense is night and day from last year. It is so nice to see.

    You can't deny that SA is a better team than Minny.

    Nope but for me personally a win is a win....and how is that? Only on Clutchfans do I get called out for saying that I don't really think SanAntonio is that good?
    I mean get a grip guys.....San Antonio is an arch rival we should not give them any credit. Sean Elliott is not giving us .....fk....credit why should we?

    If you want a guy who plays with heart and height it is SAM. Glad he's here.

    Everyone is getting off topic here.
    Sam Dam was great today, and a big reason we won. I have numerous posts on how much i liked his game, and really hoped we signed him.
    Our team does not need a scoring big, so Pau, Nene, Marc, and whoever else would not be a good fit. We needed a defensive, big presence in the middle and thats what sammy brings. Great job!

    No only on Clutchfans,
    where I state that San Antonio is a top team, where you reacted and saying they aren't. They've only been one of the most consistent teams in the league.

    Who cares what Sean Elliot says? This is also the dumb trend on Clutch fans where people are overly sensitive over tv commentators.

    Sean Elliot could say we are the worst team of all time, I wouldn't care. That doesn't affect the outcome of the game.

    We beat a good team, a top team, a team ahead of us in the standings. They were 2-0 coming in on a back to back after drubbing the much hyped Clippers.

    Dalembert plays with passion and tenacity, and that's just what this team needs. He really has changed this team already. What makes me giddy is our head coach was a big man on the court so he'll know how to use him.

    Feels good man.

    Rockets looks good. Our shots were falling tonight. The other night at Orlando we could not hit from downtown. Sammy is playing great defense and he is letting his presence know by blocking and altering shots at the rim. Sammy, Lowry, Scola brings toughness to our team. I like it

    You can nitpick on any little subject and difference there is.
    I don't like San Antonio. Until you show me that they can beat a healthy Memphis, Thunder team in a 7 game series...or on a consistent basis
    I won't say they are top tier

    Thats right Yall. Thats how its done. So glad we got SammyD. We need another center behind him though. Hill and Thabeet wont cut it, especially come playoffs time.
