    I don't think JVG would play Morris at the 3, he would have to earn his way in....

    Do we not do roll call threads for the opener anymore? Sorry if I missed it, but I'm ecstatic that this is the first time I'll get to see a game from a suite at Toyota. Saw one back in the Compaq days, but never here. Should be fun.

    Anyone else going tonight?

    Yeah... it shows on my League Pass schedule (Dish Network), but when I tried to record, it said it was blacked out. Maybe I'll have to call Dish.

    Sometimes it says "Blacked out" but it rarely is.......you just put the channel on and it comes up...at least on Time Warner.

    I just can't agree with this. We beat SA once last year (and lost 3 times) and it took overtime to do it. In those 4 games, the average margin of victory for SA was 4.5 points. This line opened as SA -1 and is now SA -2 or SA -2.5. We win if Popovich decides to rest starters in this back to back game. If not, SA covers 2 points.

    I am just hoping age has taken a toll on the Spurs, and our youth and energy pulls us through.

    Anyone know if tonight is a 'giveaway night'? The schedule for giveaways on rockets.com is a year old.

    Gonna be in Section 104 tonight! Should be a great game tonight. Yeah, Spurs look good. But it'll be a true test. Why not this early to see what we are capable of?

    One more thing: is P-Patt playing?

    My keys to the game:

    Contain the Spurs perimeter shooting Bigs. Basically Scola should not defend Duncan or Bonner.

    Spurs set a lot of screens for Anderson and Jefferson. Twill, Bud, and Lee must fight through screens. Lee might get more minutes today because the he is the best at it.

    The Rockets need to take advantage of the Spurs bench.

    Rockets 112 Spurs 99.

    lol! this is exactly why i feel so confident that we will win as silly as it sounds. classic vegas trap game and the public is gonna lose a lot of money. rockets have this. a rested rockets team beats a tired spurs squad by ten plus. the hornets won me $400 last night in a similar trap game.

    Spurs win 103-90. Too much size from Duncan and Blair kills the rockets down the stretch. I hope we beat the Hawks, otherwise I could be awhile until our 1st victory

    Really wish Patrick will become the better rebounding NeNe.
