    Huge confidence booster if Rox can win this one.

    Good thing the Nets was a blowout.

    hate to say this. If we are going to lose, I hope it's a blowout and Harden does not reaggravate the injury.

    What about a close win and keeping Harden's minutes at a reasonable rate

    This is going to be a very tough game.

    Not really worried about our offense... last year we didn't really have problems scoring on the Spurs as long as we pushed the pace and moved the ball. Not having Lin can hurt, but good passing can cover for a lot.

    I'm more worried about our Defense. PnR and perimeter defense have been real issues this year, and the Spurs are among the best in the league at running the PnR and 3 point shooting.

    The Spurs offense is like a well oiled machine on offense and defense this year. This game *should* expose our weaknesses on both ends.

    Have a bad feeling about this one. I know the Spurs are on a B2B also, but I hate the fact that the Rockets have to play them on a B2B on the road.

    Anything less than a close game will be a disappointment but a win will be huge. A loss doesn't mean we are not legit. We can and willl still improve but a win means we are well on our way.

    IMO most of our losses can be atributted to adjusting to the rotation and starting lineup. TJones gets better every game and Asik has settled into his role. If we had started the season this way I suspect we would have only 1 or 2 losses. Pop wants this game bad. He realizes the importance in establishing their dominance over us now before we get better and it gets harder. If we beat the Spurs tonight there is no question we are legit contenders for the title.

    A must watch game tonight. A true test for Rockets on how we play against the best team in the west.

    Man im so sick of the spurs. Year after year I think ok they can't possibly be elite again and then it happens. Let's grab the division from them. Rocket 90 Spurs 87.
