    There comes a time in a season where we turn a corner. This game is it. We win this, we are set up for a nice streak. Tough game, but certainly winnable. Rockets win 94-87

    We could win this game. I think both teams will be tired. I would like to see us trot out Williams and Dragic early in the first quarter against their first string. Ideally we could start stronger than SA and use our depth to wear them out.

    I think it is about time for Lowry to drop 20 assists...

    Tim Duncan and Tony Parker each played 36 minutes last night. Expect Pop to rest those two as much as possible. I see us taking another win from the Spurs.

    I wish Jordan Hill played with the intensity he had last night every single night.

    watch out for splitter and blair. i dont think old duncan and aging parker will be as effective as usual, especially with the back to back for them. i predicted 9-2 over the next 11 games and so far we're 1-0. lets make it 2-0!!!

    Yep, the team defense has generally followed the same path as Duncan's career arc. No huge surprise there. It's all built around him.

    Should be tight game since the Spurs will be playing at home. Louis always goes to work against the team that shipped him away so lets hope for the trend to continue. Parsons and Dally start again and improve the defensive effort again for the team as a whole. Martin comes back to life a little and K-Low plays like he always does. Rockets win 94-88

    I'm curious to see how Kawhi Leonard plays. He was the sf taken right after we took M&M.

    Coming out he was supposed to be a great rebounder, and defender who didn't have much offense, but from what I gather his defense, and boarding has translated to the pro's great (very active), and his offense is even starting to come around. 33 points, 13 boards, 6 steals, and a block in his last 2 games. And not even 21 yet either.

    Since we drafted MM as (mainly) a sf I will be comparing them for a long time. Hope DM made the right choice.



    And yes I know it's waaay early.

    Go Rocks.

    Chandler Parsons 36pts, 14 rebounds, 6 asts including a put back dunk over Timmy D. :)

    But in all seriousness I hope Hill and Chandler can keep the roll going with another good game. Keep on dropping dimes Lowry. When was the last time the Rockets had a player average at least 8 asts per game?
