    I'm excited! It will be close. We need Yao to dominate.

    Such Great confidence. :rolleyes:

    We have a shot at winning, because A the Spurs have no care about regular season games even if it is somewhat important. The only thing that can hold us from winning is Carl Landry not playing. Their bench really isn't that deep.

    If we can stop the pick and roll, Brooks & Lowry do a good jop at guarding Parker we win.

    Well then we probably need Lowry playing majority of the minutes for Point guard. Aaron is a pretty weak defender, he has the speed to be a great defender but the IQ is not there. Defense is mainly an IQ game not a athleticism game.

    I hope Lowry does play more minutes, because Parker can't stop Lowry from taking it to the hoop.

    Such a huge game. We win tomorrow and not only do we grab the division lead (by a tiny margin, but still!), it breaks the losing streak we've had in SA. I watched two of those losses there and we can beat them. One of the keys is to get a lead and hang on to it. Let the Spurs get in front and the crowd goes nuts. It's simply deafening. And beating them will gve us more confidence going into the playoffs.

    Gotta do it. Beat the Spers! :cool:

    Man, gotta love ABC... they didn't just drop the Rockets-Spurs game tomorrow, they decided to show a matchup between two teams that are struggling to stay at .500... What great logic.

    Oh well, I'm still excited about this game. Nothing like watching a Spurs-Rockets game, and the fact that they are battling for the #2 spot in the West makes it even better.

    Thanks for the input. I guess you don't need to bother watching the game then. The rest of us FANS will enjoy it for you. :p

    great game to get us rolling into the playoffs.

    we can win.



    barry will be up to play his old team.
    AB is getting his feet under him and could put up some solid numbers
    scola has been playing well
    hayes and motombo will get some minutes
    battier may have 15 pts, he may
    yao will be an efficient scorer
    and lowry will control the game

    we wont need a game winner, because we will be up 10 with a minute to play.

    Epic Fail by ABC for dropping the Spurs/Rockets for the Miami/Detroit game. :mad: That game is going to be weak!!!

    Rockets take this one.

    LOL @ Tony Park for choking in his last game :D

    Put Lowry on Parker or rather play some D on Parker and we win. Who cares about Free Mason, George Hill Bush, Dunking Doughnuts.

    We have a much deeper bench, however since Landry is out our bench looks like a wash now. We need big games from Yao obviously, but we need one from Scola too.

    We have nothing but defensive specialist big men who happen to be liability offensively in the bench now that Landry is out for 1-3 weeks.

    I do agree we need to put Lowry on Parker, Parker wouldn't be able to guard Lowry either.
