Flannery's Sunday Shootaround on the Hornets: http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/12/18/ ... hootaround

I love that Flannery's url gets shortened to "hootaround", which sounds like a lot of fun.

The Rockets gift-wrapped a win for the Spurs who ended the game on a 14-5 run with Houston turning over the ball continuously.

So the Spurs just did their thing they have been doing for 20 years.

I don't know how the Kings can keep defending Cousins's actions. He is absolutely out of control there and yet they keep making excuses for him. With that being said,I hope they keep him forever because they are in the same division. He'll keep that franchise losing as long as he's there. I realize that the Kings problems run deeper than just him but he's problem number one. Oh, and signing Matt Barnes to play along side him? Wow, just wow!

Sure but Houston also was in an overly giving mood and blew it.

I wasn't discounting that part. I just amazes me how well the Spurs do that, game after game, year after year, decade after decade.

Because he can go off for 50 points, and is one of the best players in the league at his position. I would expect him to finish his career there (which is fine by me, for the same reasons you said).

By the way, the video of last night's ejection/reversal is hilarious if you are anyone but a King's fan.

Must be fun to be a Spurs fan.

Right. Those guys are consistent no matter the personel. Says a lot about Pop. They never quit and always have a chance and they WILL capitalize on your mistakes.

Bad form Indy saying that without a link. I'm struggling to locate the video on Youtube. I'll try a general google.

https://twitter.com/HoopBallTweets/status/811465813869744128 This is hilarious. Calling the media his "friends". Saying he was looking for something to tear up before being asked to return to the game.

Bad form indeed. I haven't been here as often as I would like, and figured you all had seen it and discussed it already. I didn't want to 'carey' anyone on that.

We miss you Indy! I hope all is well. Just glad you can pop in every once in a while.

I have not complained in ages. I'm not sure I deserve the verb treatment!

As long as it keeps happening, you have a right to complain. The rest of us don't find it annoying, we find it very funny.
