    I'd rather we "rest" our starters for the OKC. Gotta win that one for Harden! Last time, it was after McHale's daughter's funeral, so Rockets didn't stand a chance.

    How can a Spurs fan be such a Rockets homer? I don't think even Rockets fans believe this stuff. :)

    Rockets win ! 20+ points, in a blowout style...
    My such prediction record is 5 out 5 this year... Book mark this...
    Guess I would have to go 10/10 before getting noticed on this board...

    Spurs have yet to be blown out by 20 in any game this season. They've only got 2 double-digit losses in 30 games. Guess to who? Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Clippers.

    Safe to say we won't be blowing them out today :)

    We blow them out if Lin shows up. End of story.

    I guess we really don't get any love outside of Houston. Looks like all optimism and hope and awe are confined only within the Rockets fanbase. Here is one NBA writer thinks of us on the topic on Teams Rising and Falling:

    "Scott Howard-Cooper: Most improvement: For a statistical turnaround, it’s New Orleans. Anthony Davis is back, Eric Gordon appears close to coming back, and that is not a roster that finishes with 15 wins as long as Gordon lasts in the lineup. But for real acceleration, it’s Minnesota. Ricky Rubio is back and likely headed for an increase in playing time, and Brandon Roy may return soon as well in another boost for a roster hit hard by injuries. Best days behind: Sorry to say Houston. Great story with a plus-.500 record amid tragedy and an early roster shakeup, but it’s hard to imagine the pace holding unless the Rockets do better on defense and with taking care of the ball."

    Come on Rockets -- we need to get more Wins to be really relevant in the NBA world. ESPN snubbed our Christmas day performance and then this . . . we need to make some NOISE!!!!

    :p I feel this game is more important to the fans than to the actual team.

    The Bench

    I know that James Harden and Jeremy Lin are the rallying points for the majority of the debates, jeers, and cheers on this board. And Chandler Parsons and Asik definitely get their fair share of attention, but I think the biggest thing that seems to go undiscussed is THE BENCH.

    I really think that our lack of one is going to the key factor in tonite's game and the rest of the season as well as our future.

    The way we hemorrhage points when our starters take a breather is going to slice into our skulls like the Sword of Damocles once it finally drops.

    What we need is a bench that is more effective and productive than The Great Lakes Avengers minus Squirrel Girl.

    We need a 6th BADLY.
