    If you're watching the Spurs lately (as today), they're at another level of intensity. Very tough defense, and offensively playing as well as always but making every shot, and any player.

    Really scary bbal team right now, honestly.

    If you dont match their intensity you have nothing to do and its a blow you. Hopefully the rockets know what they're facing and dont have in mind the 4-0 of last season but current Spurs.

    And we're gonna need a 5 man defense to beat them. That means, including Harden rotating properly and in time.

    Watching the Spurs CRUSH Oklahoma City right now, and I am in awe. This is the definition of a well oiled machine. Anyone who wants to see this in the playoffs is a lunatic. Our only saving grace is that we have matched up well with them the past couple seasons.

    Lets get them. This is a statement game and the next one too. Win or lose, let's show the defending champ why we are an elite team too. I think we match up them pretty well.

    These Spurs make it look so easy but I'm sure the rockets have their njmber this year. Spurs better be ready for red nation.

    Would be nice if we had Dmo but have confidence in The Beard and D12.

    Let's gear up the defense and kill the Spurs next two games.

    Statement games!

    Hmm. That does help the Rockets a lot if he's out tomorrow night. Him regaining his health(along with the play of Kawhi) is a big reason they've been so hot lately. Well, that and their mostly cupcake schedule since the Rodeo Road Trip.

    Spurs are playing great basketball right now and it will be nice to compete with them to see where the Rockets stand. Everyone is just focusing on what the Spurs are doing but the Rockets also have a good D that can compete when it comes to stealing the ball and with Howard back the interior D will be vastly improved. Can't wait for the next two games.

    Stay home one the spurs. Protect the rim, close out their threes. We can beat them. We have a Harden, they don't.

    Dwight dominates.
    Harden Dominates.

    Rockets win by 10.

    Im hoping our defense can lock down their offense.
    Our bench needs to have a good game as well and gain rhythm for the playoffs.
