Unless Parson has the same performance as the last few games, I do not see how the Rockets has any chance.

Pop will out coach McHale by a mile. McHale will has no answer for Parker. Of course, every McHale's fan will think Beverley will stop Parker.

Monster game and both teams on a B2B.

As usual, on the road just stay in the game and try to take it at the end.

Harden had his garbage game getting back on the floor and should be ready for a big night in San Antonio. T JONES to dominate Duncan.

A monster game indeed.
As long as our "leader" plays unselfish ball and flow of the game then we have a chance.
I'm counting on Asik and Howard to not give up an easy basket underneath the basket and heck the sh** outta slashing Parker or flopbili once in awhile to send a strong message to the Spurs along with the rest of league.

These are the games that makes you happy Asik is still on the roster. He should really show his value tonight.

Asik was really good at blocking Duncan's shots last year

Efing Luckeyes won ruining my Saturday morning.

Well on to more important things like the rockets. I just can't how the Rockets win this game. Who is Harden going to guard? Can Bev slow down Parker? Howard always has trouble against the Spurs and if they go Hack-a-Howard he has to hit them fts

yeah asik made duncan look average all of last year.
The deciding factor in this game imo is Parsons. If he gets hot, we have a good chance to win. Harden was pretty lack luster last game but he still is a good playmaker.

I pray Bama wins... I really don't want to see the Bucks embarrassed in the national title game... Team has NO defense. Letting that trash team up north score 41 points is so embarrassing.

Hopefully Roxs come out and dominate to wash that taste outta my mouth.

No doubt.
Like you guys are saying. Asik plays well against the Spurs.
Once again, do not give out easy buckets below the rim.
And do once in awhile that what others teams always do to J. Lin when Lin trys to slash and to score.

This might be tough. Our "leaders" top priority is have their own stat sheets fill up.

Who says we'r/I'm stressing.
Yes we are going up against one of the best teams in the league as an upon coming team.
But they still are our crosstown rival who deserves some trash talking. Hehe

Let's see....

1.) It's a B2B for the Rockets. You know what that means despite the blowout, a sluggish start, and slow legs.
2.) Against an actual good defense that won't let us shoot 55% for the game like we have been, it'll be the return of Haren iso-ball.
3.) It was also signify the return of Howard force fed post ups. This will result in 5 TOV's, and 4-10 shooting.
4.) Speaking more on that, we're guaranteed 18+ TO's. Spurs will score off every one of these turnovers for 38 total points.
5.) Splitter and Duncan will kill us on the offensive glass. Diaw, Kawhi, and Ayers will also be a factor on the boards. And we won't get offensive rebounds on our end, because the Spurs are terrific at defensive rebounding.
6.) I shudder at the thought of Haren going Danny Green, who will have a 20+ point performance tonight.
7.) Casspi, Garcia, and Brooks will slow down, their shooting has been unsustainable past couple.
8.) Beverley will continue his meh shooting. Parsons will also cool down.
9.) Belinelli, Diaw, Ginobili, and Kawhi will all have big games.
10.) I don't know if Parker is playing, but even if he isn't, Mills will step up with a big performance too. My guess however is that Parker will play.
11.) TJones will not get us off to the hot start as he usually does.
12.) Hack-a-Dwight will make its return, and he'll go 3-10 in those situations.
13.) Duncan was struggling this season, but yesterday he had a monster 19/9 game in like 23 mins of play. With Duncan now rounding back into form, he'll avenge his "poorish" play last season vs. us, and have a vintage throwback sort game.
14.) After we have a stretch where we'll have momentum, McHale will call a timeout, which ends up turning into an 18-2 run for the Spurs, essentially ending the game. Pop v. McHale, nuff said.
15.) In order to try to come back, we'll have a run where we knock down some shots with ball movement, but then McHale will strictly go to Haren-iso in the clutch, which results in extremely inefficient shots.

I'm excited.
