They deserve it tho. They're the defending champs, have had back to back Finals appearances, and 5 titles since 1999. Meanwhile, the Rockets have either missed the playoffs or get knocked out in the first round (with exception to the 2008-09 team). The media is a what have you done for me lately kind of business, and we'll be labeled as pretenders until we do something about it!!! Hopefully this is the year.
Dmo should be back and papa was not part of the regular rotation to begin with. Smith, brewer, prigioni and Jones are better than mills manu Joseph and diaw. On the starting side the only visible better matchup for the spurs is Tony Parker.
Like it matters. His injury coupled with T-Jones and Dwight's return pretty much knocked him out of the rotation.
Srsly though, and I'm not getting paid in anyway to say this....that AM crunchwrap is the tasiest damn breffus thing that's ever come out of a drive-thru window. And I get fastfood breakfast maybe 2 times a year. Harden knows what to rep. Next time I see him struggle early though I'll make sure to say something like "see shoulda went to Taco Bell for that hangover cure"
Actually it could matters, as I expect the Spurs will foul Dorsey the second he will step on the floor, so any extra body that can play 4 will be helpful. As you know, Capela is 0-15 and he sure doesn't help.

Probably going to say this a lot between now and the end of the regular season, but: This is our biggest test of the season, yet.
Dwight should be able to dominate the paint. His previous games with SA this season: FG 12/18 for 32 pts and 16 rebs. FG 11/13 for 24 pts and 17 rebs. Hoping that he can continue this trend.
Tie that in with Terrence Jones vs the Spurs (hasn't played against them this season, last season he was 18ppg and 12.5rpg across the 4 meetings), and we're in business!
I thought this game was today.. Took time and turned down money to watch it tonight... mother of......
