McGrady better be ready to play D this game otherwise the combo of Durant and Green could go crazy.

Wow we're one game away from surpassing last year's regular season record. Who would've thunk that after Yao's injury?

I hope we sit or at least play Tmac limited minutes this game. We need to rest him and that shoulder for the playoffs.

Back-to-back on the road for Seattle.

They've been poor on the road.

We must win here to keep the pressure on.

If possible, blow them out, so the starters get some rest for Phoenix game.

Perimeter defense and rebounding will determine this game. They murdered us on the boards last time.

my personal objective of this season was pass the record of last year in regular season, we can make 53 today, 52 was last year, adelman has done a great job, and in the next years it's going to be even better.

No T-Mac tonight , we better take care of buisness though we can't afford to lose this game because if we do we will end up with 6th seed or even worse and ni chance we get to the 2nd round.

Chron has nothing about T-Mac sitting. Maybe it's just a dream. la la la la la la ....

Some idiot on Clutchfans said it. I don't know if it's true because there's no source behind it except himself. We will see in a little while when the game starts, RAFER is expected to play though.
