    I hope McHale goes ahead and begins to start Smith immediately. That would hopefully get us off to better starts by really putting severe defensive pressure on the other team and taking out some of their wind early on in games. And hopefully DMo can accept it and come in the game off the bench with the mentality to get some touches early to make and impact, but to also play harder and more carefree in other areas knowing that he has more energy to expend in the backup role.

    If the Rockets take this games seriously, they easily beat the Spurs without Parker and Leonard.

    I realize that we will lose games, I refuse to accept that fact until it happens...

    Spurs might as well rest Duncan and Ginobili too. They most likely weren't going to win this game, even at full strength.

    We just have the Spurs' number.

    Let's keep Ariza, Howard, and Harden's minutes below 30 today. We're as deep as San Antonio now!

    I have no sympathy for teams with injuries the Rox fought through their fair share.

    BRING ON THE SPURS BEATDOWN !

    Nah, he tweaked his ankle pretty badly last game against memphis going for a block.

    I just hope Brewer calms down a little - he was a bit of a headless chicken at times last game.

    Pretty optimistic, though I sure hope the squad isn't taking the Spurs as lightly as most of the posters in this thread. The depth is exciting, but this is still the National Basketball Association.
