Notes: Rockets up 2-1 in the series

I will be surprised if we win this game , this game is huge for them , if they lose we have the tie breaker , it's at their place , we gonna really have to play aweasome in order to win.

actually, not only for them, but for us as well! 1 win could move you up 2 to 3 spots, 1 loss..you move 2 to 3 spots down, so every win is important not only for both teams but for ALL western playoff contending teams as well

Pretty important game for us at this stage of the season.

We showed signs of weariness and frailty after the streak-ending loss to Boston, the 4th quarter capitulation, Warriors and Suns back-to-back. Then Kings and Wolves in quick success.

With a bit of rest, the guys can hopefully re-focus on the task at hand and take it to the Spurs.

I think we can get them - but it won't be easy. We know it's coming from Duncan, but we have to stop Ginobili too!

Wow...
That was supposed to be my last game thread..

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you weren't going to make it because time was running out and usually then nobody makes it. I'm really sorry, if you want, I can delete mine and you can make it.

No problem.
Every time I mess up with the difference between Amercian hour and French hour.I feel I have a large time to do it when in reality, the game's quite close.

Oh ok, haha I didn't even realize you were in Paris. Man, I understand now, You can take my game coming up against Seattle if you want.

Has anyone else noticed how screwy the playoff system is this season? Both us and the Suns should be higher than they are. Suns are tied with 3 seed lakers record and both of us have a better record than the Jazz but we are below them.

I'm not sure on this game, McGrady is hurting, Bowen will be guarding him. Duncan will abuse our front-court and they're at home and on a roll. I'd be very surprised if we came out of here with a win. Let's just compete, that's all I ask.

So why is Battier not starting ? Is he out ?

oh no, battier is injured or something? i guess he is on the bench to guard manu when he comes in

Where's Battier? WTF?

C'Mon Tracy...No need for lazy fouls like that.

coming off the bench so he can guard manu. he did this last game too worked great

Can someone please shoot Rafer ?

Alston is taking toooo many shots, he needs to settle down.

looks like the bench is whats going to save us again

Parker is killing us.
