Hopefully our team rises to the occasion. When they do, they can be as dangerous as any team in the NBA. The problem is we have too many shall we call them..."Clipper Nights"

My prediction: Raps OT win 101-99

Ginobilli goes off for 40 points
Bowen tries to hurt DMart
Rasho is on fire.

I'd love to see a win, but I think this is gonna be a loss for us!

my prediction:

Either our shooting will go through the roof at 50% or up, and we win, or we will end up shooting 42% and we will lose by 10.

I really don't know which raps will show up, either the ones that beat boston, or the one that lost to the paper clips.

I highly doubt the Raps will win this game after Spurs lost today. Everyone will need to show up to win this game if they want to win.

I agree it's going to be a very hard game to win but at least we have the tools to make the game interesting. If we can keep it close we'll have a good chance at winning it in the end.

If we don't come out and hustle, run our plays and work together than we have no chance.

raps win. so far i'm 27-22 so i'm above 500 in my guestimations.

i say there's a fairly chance for a Raps win. The Spurs seem disinterested a lot of the time and are ripe for the picking after losing to the Celtics. I see TJ and Jose having a good game against Mighty Mouse

Eventhough Tony Parker is out...the Raps are gonna need the same effort they used in San Antonio back in December.

Jaques Vaughn starting over Damon?

EDIT** Dumb question.
