    I'm interested to see the reactions if Harden doesn't play and Lin gets under 20 minutes.

    Not gonna happen. No one can stand watching Douglas handle PG playmaking for 28 minutes. ;)

    I won't be surprised to see Lin + Douglas quite a bit though. Douglas spaces the floor well thanks to his 3-pt shooting.

    I'll be the one to say it.

    With or without Harden, I don't see us winning this game. Spurs is just playing at a completely differrent level, no match for Rox.

    I will feel bad for Lin and Asik if they are going to play major minutes in this game. It will be hard to get anything going vs this elite team and will further hurt their confidence.

    If their confidence is easily shaken, then they won't become anything more than bench players.

    They don't need babysitting, they need to play through real competition.

    I'm sensing a loss, which likely means we find a way to win.

    It's going to be another exciting game. Here's to a hot start in the 1st quarter. Go Rockets!

    It's a good learning experience though. Spurs has such beautiful ball movement on offense and nice rotation on defense - definitely something the young Rox can learn a thing or two from.

    The Spurs certainly have good chemistry and hopefully we've watched and analyzed a lot of film to get ready for this game.

    I agree with you and the coaching staff can learn a lot of things from Pop who is a smart and great coach.

    Wonder if Stern would fine him $250K again since they're playing the Rockets.

    We are just not going to win this game. I expect a lot a Clutchfans overreaction after we lose to the best team in the league.

    Lin did emerge last year because of injuries. I just hope there are better rotations.

    Didn't Lin play without Harden in the 3rd? He did ok but it wasn't the confident attack-the-basket-at-all-costs Lin in New York. He seems too eager to not mess up that he doesn't take the risks that propelled him to fame last year.
