    A win here would be put the Rockets just one game behind the Spurs for the division lead. The Grizzlies and Mavericks would be half a game ahead though. Very tight division race.

    They seated Tim and Rich the whole night and sacrificed the easier win just to make our lives difficult... They hate us a lot! :(

    Pops pretty much gambled on their bench to close this one out but failed. If anything the starters will be more motivated to win against the Rockets.

    We have different objectives here. Spurs is a good team, and they will very likely make the playoff. However this is the final year Spurs can possibly win the champion, and IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY IF THEY STAY HEALTHY. Gregg doesn't wanna risk Tim or Jeff atm.

    I might go to this game...which always means a Rockets W (101-99). I'm just that good.

    Predictions:
    1.Clyde will mispronounce Dragic's name.
    2. Parsons will have a put-back dunk.
    3. Lowry will record his first triple-double of the season.
    4. Parker will do something to piss me off.
    5. Jordan Hill will do something to piss me off.
    6. Thabeet will play...two minutes.
    7. Coach Pop will get T'ed up.
    7b. Martin will miss the free throw.
    8. Patrick Patterson will hit the game-winner.
    9. "We'll pay you in two dollar bills" guy will be left hanging.

    According to the Spurs post game host the Spurs will win tomorrow night in H-Town. This not even a that tough of b2b since they don't have to travel far like the Hornets did on their b2b with the Rockets. You know this will be a tough game like all Spurs games have been lately. Rockets should be ready for this game.

    Rockets 104 Spurs 92.

    Even if we lose..... Spurs commentators are a pain in the arse ....... who takes a win on the road granted just to lose at home?

    The spurs without their best player do not scare me...not to mention they just lost to the Kings at home.

    Honestly the Rox match up very well with the Spurs, it should be a home win.

    Depends on Dalembert's status. Spurs dominated us on the boards last time, so his availability (and effectiveness) is crucial.

    i'm really tired of playing the spurs this season...hopefully dalembert is ready to go and comes up big. We're going to need him.

    I won't put too much concern on Minny game. Corner offense is a inconsistent system that it can beat the hell out of the Heat today, and lose to the Wiz tomorrow...
