Unfortunately no. It went out earlier today and the Comcast representative told me I would have to wait until sometime next week for a repair man to come back out. That's Comcast for you
I think we had a little to do with that.. Lowry/Batt/Ariza played solid D on Manu Andersen/Scola did a commendable job against Blair not letting him get alot of Rebs AB played great D in the first half not letting Parker get off to a good start.. He was tired too because he was getting worked by AB and Lowry
Ftw battier was perfect and his +- = -6 ??? Well a good win and a confidence booster .......... Yay if the jeez can beat them so why cant we
I think it's painfully apparent why our starting 5 struggles offensively at times. It's so easy to key in on Brooks. Opposing teams have zero fear of Ariza and Battier and Hayes. Scola is a threat but they know where he's going to do his damage so it doesn't require as much attention. They know he's either going to go 1-on-1 with his back to the basket or shoot off a pick and roll with Brooks. It puts a lot of pressure on Brooks to try to do too much since nobody else is a legit perimeter threat.
That's a good way of putting it; someone else wrote that the Spurs played badly tonight. I don't think they played badly exactly...but yeah, they did look slow and I guess rather old. Kind of sad really.
Today it was Lowry who was the real hero of the game. He ignited the attack by scoring and also by setting up the offense. That was a very hard task considering our anemic start. Kyle took the pressure off Brooks,who was then able to play his natural game in the clutch.
It was a great win. :grin: Anyone have that Dejuan Blair flop on tape lol. That might have been the worse flop I have ever seen in my life.
Lowry is better than Brooks. He often outplays him. I was just talking about the big numbers they both put up. It reminded me of the Dallas game. But yea, Lowry was the hero of this game as he has been many, many times this season.
Battier was aggressively attacking the basket and making his shots.. he has to be the x-factor for the game.. if he can score like that or close to that we are hard to beat..
Aw man, I'm really sorry. If I had a TiVO I'd record it and send it to you, but alas... Well, if you're able to watch via bit torrent, clutch will have it posted later in the week. If you can watch this one, you'll want to...first part of first quarter was our usual, but it changed up about halfway through and we played pretty well from there. No third quarter collapse!
Great game. This shows what the Rockets can do when you give them a little rest and practice time. I haven't seen the Spurs much this season but they looked pretty discombobulated. Outside of Duncan, everyone looked a little lost. I'm not surprised they're now 1-4 in their last five games.
