    Must win, be one of the biggest wins. Can make a big jump for that number two spot.

    Gasol is doing well playing the C spot for the Spurs. He is grabbing boards. Lost of space in the offense.

    Pop should rest his starters and bench. Throw out the Austin Spurs for this game.

    Rockets win 119-110

    Aldridge is 10-22 on threes this season shooting 46%, I wonder why he is not taking more. Gasol is shooting the same percent but is 15-33 so far this season. If they can knock them down consistently then their offense will be unstoppable.

    First page!?

    This one goes down to the wire, no way it's less than say a 6 point win for either team. It'll be a tough one, but these statement games are the ones that show the resolve of this team. Beating a team like the Spurs 2/3 times is quite an accomplishment.

    Looks like Clint will not be playing. Just don't see how we will win this one.

    Our chances of winning just took a dip with the Capela news but lets just hope our defense holds up and our shots are falling. Wasn't it the Spurs that ended our 22 game win streak? Either way.....

    .......Get Them and Get Them Hard!!!!!
