Ginobelli got hurt relatively early and didnt return as well

I didn't see that, that obviously hurt them big time too. They stayed relatively injury free for most of the first half, which is pretty good for an older team. Now all of a sudden they seem to be getting hit with a ton of injuries. Splitter and Green should be back fairly soon so that will help a little.

Looked like a hamstring. Still a ways to go before the playoffs for them to get healthy

You realize that the playoffs dont start till April right?
San Antonio is easily one of the favorites

No they are not. Last year there was a perfect storm of things w/ Westbrook being hurt and Golden St just getting good. Now this year you also add very good Houston and Portland. San Antonio has no prayer of coming out of the West.

Lets see they have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobelli and Leonard and the best coach in the game...AND they are 33-12 despite resting key players and injury issues...

Yeah they have no chance...

He got hurt in the 3rd quarter and left a little after that.

It was a great win for the Rockets, who were in dire need of a good effort after a terrible home and home with Memphis. To win without Harden, especially the way he had played thus far this year against SA, is even better.
