    Too much at stake for Houston to have a letdown.

    The key is to limit Manu and TP from having good games because I believe the combination of Hayes/Mutombo/Scola/Landry will negate Timmy's influence on the game.

    RA needs to get T-mac some more off the ball plays so he can be a more efficient scorer. We know he can get his shot off any day, just need to be less wasteful. His play-making skills has been on display in the last couple of games and must continue.

    Go Rox! Bring the hammer down on SA!!!

    The Rockets are capable of beating any team in the NBA.

    We will need a big game off the bench(Landry, Jackson)

    We will need a big game from T-mac.

    And we will need to play "Rockets Defense".

    Important game:
    The one that wins will get the 2nd spot.
    Every experts says that Spurs will win and I am sure that we will prove them wrong again.

    over/under on the amount of flops the refs fall for today in the spurs favor?

    I'll say 3, and go over.

    I am looking forward to how Battier plays Ginobili.

    Limiting Manu/Parkers penetration will be huge, so many layup vs the Kings this could get out of hand quickly. Watching Manu at the 3pt line is important also. He's way too good to leave open, but I'm sure Shane will try to limit this.

    Battier is a perfect matchup to shut down Ginobili. He is way taller and can stick with him to the hoop.

    And what?

    Of course we do but we can't do anything about that. NBA is brutal sometimes, so is life. We gotta live with that and deal without Yao.

    Oh crap! McGrady looks to be in serious pain just shooting jumpers in pre-game warmups.

    Is he taking his painkillers?

    Yes, Mcgrady is definately in alot of pain, hopefully he can overcome the pain or the rest of the team will have to have a huge game. I hope that Scola will continue his good play against the Spurs, and Landry will have to have a big game.

    Everyone will have to play above their heads for the entire game, including McGrady, for us to even have a chance. Even at our best without Yao in the lineup, the Spurs are tough to beat.
