    Hold up ya'll... are we actually favored in this series? Lowe has us in 6. I'm not comfortable with BIG MEDIA on our bandwagon...

    No. Vegas favors the Spurs and all but 4 ESPN "experts" picked the Spurs. But they all think it'll take San Antonio at least 6 or 7 games to win. I'm still pessimistic and think it'll be over in 5.

    I'm not emotionally ready for a Rockets-Spurs series. I was too young in '95 to truly appreciate what happened. This is new territory for me. BRING IT ON DOE!

    I sincerely hope this series lives up to that one for Rockets fan. I'm not ready yet either, Kev. I'm nervous right now.

    A Spurs win would not surprise me at all, but even I think a scenario with the Rockets losing the series in 5 is difficult to imagine. Rockets have enough talent to make this a 6-game series in the very least.

    What makes you feel the Rockets could/would lose this in 5?

    I have no expectations here.
    Not expecting us to steal Game 1 in their arena, but wouldn't be disappointed either

    I have a weird feeling about this one. Don't think it'll be close. 15+ win for us or SA tonight, but I don't think there's a middle ground.

    I'd like to see Harden shoot more mid range step backs in this series. His 3 pointer has been off really badly and I think some mid range would catch the Spurs off guard

    Lou has struggled in his appearances against the spurs. lets see if he adjusted and if others step up if the story remains the same. This series will show if the Rockets learned from their meetings during the regular season. Often times up by double digits easily and not maintaining
