And just like everyone thought, the Spurs got everyone back in the lineup (but still lost to the C's). This is going to be a tough game. I hope they team isn't too dispirited from the loss in Philly. The Spurs are going to be hungry for a win and he we do not match up well with the Spurs. Even with that said, we still give them a game every time out so it will be close. I do not see us winning unfortunately.

...sigh.
This is a very winnable game considering the Spurs' recent skid and the return to Toyota Center, where Houston's been nearly untouchable over the last month (the only home loss in March was to... the Spurs).
I'm hoping to see a heavy dose of 2Pat and Lee tonight...

Ok, the last time the Spurs were in town they were coming in off a b2b and won. The Toyota Center sounded like the Spurs fans took over the joint. No excuses tonight need to take them out, this game must be a blow out if it is close in the end the Spurs will win(refs will make sure of that in a close game).

Really tough game for the Rockets...
Because this is a must win for the Spurs tonight with their current 5 game losing streak, their longest in the Duncan Era. We're going to be receiving the Spurs A game. Specially with how the media has been attacking them of late.
Also Duncan is back, and his going to want to start to get into prime Duncan mode for the playoffs

If we lose that's okay, as long as we go out fighting. Against 76ers I was pissed but I realise they were tired. I must say though, after watching some 2008 games, the whole team really hustled and worked their but off. I understand this team is different but I want to see more determination.
If I know in the back of your mind every game is a must win, I would go all out. I'm sorry but I just didn't see that in the philly game. I saw no devastation from the players when they realised they lost. I saw no intensity, nobody screaming when mistakes were made or to try to get each other pumped up. Something I did see in the Rockets of 2-3 years back with Rafer, Scola and Battier.
Battier and Alston used to be great at getting others to focus, by example and working hard on d.
Tell me if I'm wrong, honestly. If they don't show more hustle and work ethic, I'm afraid the Spurs are going to take the W home. Go out swinging and make us proud to be Rockets fans!

With our luck, watch the Spurs decide tonight is when they stop losing games, adding another loss for us. :mad:
The easy games we lost in the fall (the ones to the Wizards, Warriors, Bobcats, Raptors) and those 11 in January from the long losing streak have come back to haunt us.

Oh, I was over here celebrating that the game would actually be on broadcast tv for once--I didn't realize that some people would miss out as a result. While I can empathize, I'm glad that I won't have to search through problematic internet streams tonight!
Also, I think it's a shame that you have to have some paid service (cable or leaguepass) to watch your own city's basketball team! What are all the poor kids supposed to do? If it was like this when I was growing up, I would've missed all but a small handful of games; in fact, I probably would've never even gotten into the Rockets...

Indeed, they are going to be out for blood, trying to put a halt to their losing streak...I think I saw an article somewhere that if they lose tonight, it'll be the first time they had a 6 game losing streak since 1997?
They are going to be motivated.

Lowry does not look like a athlete much less an NBA guard if you saw im walking down the street. You think Hoggey chumpin', chips, and soda on the coach watching the game. It's remarkable how he's an NBA starter. You guys think the baby fat is gonna melt off or does Lowry get cut?
That is not baby fat. Its just 200 lbs of pure muscle or so I'd like to think. I love Lowry's chubby build. I hope he never burns it off.

It's good that the Hornets lost I think, Grizz can beat them again and the Rockets can beat them themselves.

When Bud was hot from the arc he wasnt attacking the rim. Now he attacks the rim but he is cold from the arc.
The only way Bud gets to the rim is from a pass near top of the key then he curls around and just drives. I would like to see him take guys on by himself from the dribble, from the baseline too and not just top of the key.

And I dont like Rockets going to Scola against Duncan. Duncan has height and will get away with fouls in closing minutes.
