    We will need another game from Yao like he had last night. He can't come in and just lollygag through this game. And he better not be thinking about being tired.

    Most importantly though we need Tracy to show up and play better than he did last night. In fact to win, we need him to show up and make a statement that he owns the Spurs.

    And just like I thought as much as I get annoyed with Sura's decision making sometimes. His rebounding is vital to this team as our backcourt plays a key role in our rebounding totals, since our PFs don't rebound very well at all. And our rebounding totals usually determine if we win or not.

    Here's hoping to a speedy recovery and some luck in acquiring a really backup.

    Heard that he is out for at least 3 weeks. No final words on it.

    Now please make trades to get DA & GP ASAP.

    Tmac is hurting pretty bad, he's injured (my strong opinion)
    Sura is our spark and we desparately miss his rebounding.
    Strickland has no shot and little handle
    Yao is playing well

    Can Yao carry us? We aren't set up for it.

    I see a blow out tonight.

    Expect maybe a desparate trade of some kind after tonight.

    A lot is riding on what will happen to Sura and how bad TMac's injury (speculative) is.

    If Sura needs more surgery, then I really expect a trade.

    SA- 107
    Hou- 95

    There is little room for mistakes if we wanna get a win tonight.

    TMac needs to regain his 25/6/6 form and be efficient from the floor.

    Yao needs to keep his streak of sizzling shooting (64% this month) streak and take it to the next level. I am praying for a 28-10 tonight if not more.

    Wesley and Barry needs to keep up with the scoring.

    Deke needs to play tough D on TD. JH and Padgett needs to at least slow TD down a bit.

    Strickland needs to avoid consecutive TOs and not to put the ball in the Spurs's basket.

    We can win if we do the majority of what I just listed.;)

    Tmac needs to show up. If he can't explode, let's run him across screens and get some set shots. We need him to be effective. If Yao can play today the way he played yesterday, Rasho may consider retirement after the abuse he'll take.

    I really wish we could put the Seattle game behind us. Nothing would achieve that better than a win IN San Antonio. The 85-86 Celtics would thank us too, because their best home record of 40-1 would still be intact. :)

    I didn't know they were streaming again until today so I don't know if it works.

    *****Because of NBA restrictions you may need to log on at least 30 minutes before the game.*****

    Hope it helps

    screw that!

    I guarantee a win by the Rox.

    I can just feel how angry they are about the loss last night. I feel Yao is going to come out with a vengence and destroy Timmy and whoever they throw his way.

    Rox win big

    Rox 104 - Sperms 78

    Yao - 34pts/18rebs/11blks (FG 70%)
    Tmac - 28pts/10rebs/10assists/10stls (FG 60%)

    Our big two carry us to victory.

    Parker is going to light us up if Strickland and Barrett are going to cover him.

    Parker score 25+ on us.
