    Beverley is a perfect match to shut down Mills, rocket will win this games if Mills is in starting lineup.

    We need to stay focused for all 4 quarter. No more lackadaisical defense. Grab the boards. Should not let up or be lulled into thinking this is an automatic win with Parker OUT.

    Keys to winning:

    1) Double Kawhi all the time. Force the ball out of his hands. Mills is a scorer, but he's not a creator. Same goes for Green. Pau is washed up. Aldridge has no confidence.

    2) Attack the basket. Don't settle for the 3, especially if it's not falling(I'm looking at you, James!).

    3) The bench must produce like they did against OKC. With no Parker, the Spurs will be hampered offensively when Kawhi sits, so capitalize on those opportunities.

    These 2 home games this weekend are must wins. Don't give the Spurs any confidence they can win this series without Parker. Plus, Golden State looks like they may make quick work of Utah, so wrapping this up in 5 or 6 would be much better than letting it go 7.

    I hope this Tony Parker injury doesn't end up hurting us more than helping. I really don't want to see more Patty Mills or Simmons as they both have played well against us.

    But your Gremlin boy Schroedder is the biggest PG threat against the Rockets...

    I just hope Brothers is done with us for this series, i'd love to have Zarba over him and that tells you enough.

    Can't wait for tonight. I expect the rockets to come out with more intensity as they did in game 1. We really need to take both games

    To be honest, I see Rockets coming out GUNNING. Harden will have a bounce back game

    Rockets 123
    Spurs 104
    Crawford can be annoying but isn't no where as bad as Brothers troll face ass.

    I'm looking at buying tickets to the game, but am confused why there are alphabetical rows and numerical rows. Does anyone know the difference between section 114 row 5 versus sec 114 row F?

    TP being out obviously weakens the SA bench, a major plus. We need a strong performance from our own bench and Harden at the top of his game. The Spurs will want this one for Parker. It's going to be a rumble. Rockets by 5.
