    So much for attacking the twin towers with speed. Man, this is so sickening to be fired up all season to see our starters against the best, then this...

    Please Walt...hit your first shot, tonight!

    I hope neither play. Too bad it couldn't be against an easier opponent than San Antonio, but that's the breaks. However, I hope neither play. I like Francis and Mobley both, but it would be kind of refreshing to see a Rockets game that was not all Francis/Cat all the time.

    Great, just great. This is the first game I'm going to since 96 too, and no Francis. Man, this sucks. I hope the other guys can turn it on, and Dream can go vintage. I still want to see Duncan, but think the Rocks have a much better chance of winning with him out.

    Does this mean the Rockets are going retro, so that Dream can put another a** whoopin' on Robinson? It's time for MO to step up. Watch the Dream take over tonight. [​IMG]

    <color=teal>Moochie and Shandon can handle the Spurs</color>

    (Plus If you Have NBA LIVE 2001 Shandon is your top scorer!)

    Did it say anything about all of this being a one game deal? I would hate for Francis and Mobley to be out of the game with the Lakers on Thursday (especially since I'll be in town and get to go to it). Also, is Cato back to the point where he'll get time on the court? I'd sure like to have him available against Shaq, if for no other reason than he can give 6 good fouls. [​IMG]

    Duncan may not play either. Game time decision on his injured knee.

    I may take a lot of heat for this, but we can still win even without Mobley and Francis. Moochie is a good leader and Shandon can shut down Derek Anderson. What we need are good contributions from Hakeem and Cato in order to win. This winning streak the Spurs has against us is going to end sometime or another.

    You know what, there is actually an upside to this announcment for me. I will actually be at tonights game, and there is one thing that I was hoping to see this season, and that is old Hakeem. Who is our best offensive threat outside of Steve and Cat? That is easy, the Dream.

    If we win tonight, it will be because of the contributions by Hakeem. And I have a feeling he is going to have one of those turn-back-the-clock games.
