    If we win this game we are making the playoffs (or I know we are at least a playoff caliber team)

    I think a win here will say a lot about team. We have a nice streak going, but all of those are against weak teams and we basically played to the level of our competition. A win here against a rested Spurs team that got spanked last game? That's different, and will really speak about this season's potential.

    Sad because I was supposed to be at this game.

    Anyways, I call another OT game won by a Parson's put back.

    Hou 87, SAS 86 OT.

    Spurs played last night. They lost a close game to the Kings.

    SA is not in great shape now, but then again Sam might be out and we bearly beat the Hornets with Sam playing well.

    Jeez, this is like our 5th game against them in the last month. Hopefully it's a "W." I think we can pull it off, since we're at home.

    Will be at the game tonight :grin: I predict a win, we're 5-1 at home, the spurs are 1-5 on the road, and they must be at least somewhat worn out. Losing Dalembert for this game would be a huge blow, but I still think even without him we'll be able to pull it out

    Fixed.

    I think Pops is going to go after this game. It's looking like division wins will be important this season.

    That's great news! You know it's crazy, but lately tiago splitter has been real annoying on the block against us, but no matter what though, this will hurt their depth tonite.
